About The George
The George is a pub at 32 Wallgate in Wigan, set in the town centre. Drinks are served at the bar, and bar snacks are available for anyone who wants something to eat alongside them. Karaoke runs on certain nights, so a visit can come with a turn at the microphone for anyone who fancies it. The women's toilets are down a set of stairs, so it helps to know that before you arrive.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly bar staff are the most repeated draw, described as efficient and smiling even when the pub is rammed, hard working, and nothing too much trouble. Close behind are drink prices that several reviewers rank among the lowest in Wigan, with one saying they beat most other bars in town. Reviewers also mention a great atmosphere, friendly locals and a warm welcome, and a couple describe regulars dropping in most Saturday evenings. Karaoke is a recurring feature, with one reviewer placing it on Saturdays and Sundays and another enjoying it alongside the beer. One reviewer, however, found it dreadful, saying nobody can sing and the sound system is terrible. Another reviewer was disappointed that pets are not allowed in, and one says the low prices attract a rougher crowd. Bar snacks are available, and the pub is described as a place where a stranger walks in and leaves feeling like family.

“The best pub on Wigan Wallgate. The bar staff are amazing and very friendly. Saturday evenings are our favourite. In most Saturdays all year round, but always drop in other days and times when in Wigan.”

“Great for a local pint one of the cheapest in Wigan I believe, slightly rough at times but no fights just real local people who are generally friendly. Proper drinking gaff, and karaoke on certain nights.”
