Quick info
About The Freemasons Arms
The Freemasons Arms is a pub in Wigan at 1-6 Clapgate Lane, run by the landlords themselves. A retro board game night sits alongside darts and dominos teams, pool and quiz nights, so the pub offers several ways to join in. The bar carries a range of beers and lagers, with Guinness served, as well as wines and spirits. Pizzas have recently joined the menu, and curry naans have been added to the food offer. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcoming, friendly staff, who are described as going beyond the call to help, and the pints, with Guinness called on point and the beer range described as very well kept. Close behind is the atmosphere, called great, vibrant and local, with one reviewer calling it good for family and for a night out with mates. The newly added pizzas and curry naans come up repeatedly, with one reviewer saying they enjoyed both and another calling the pizzas outstanding. Several mention that prices are good, and one notes that dogs are welcome. A returning visitor found the layout unchanged and the staff friendly despite new ownership. A fresh paint job also earns a mention, and no recurring complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer even says the landlords' table service and bar staff kept things running smoothly through the Coronavirus rules.
