The Red Lion in Wigan

Not a particularly nice place.

Great staff great lively pub with atmosphere

Best place for a drink in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Great local pub very good for the sports with the numerous tvs busy at weekends but all safe and well run, good customers too

The older woman that works there is vile. We ordered a large round of drinks in which my friends was missing. My friend asked one of the barmaids where hers was in which the old barmaid came over 5 minutes later shouting at her saying its "tough" and walked away without hearing what my friend had to say (she went to the toilet and didn't realise we all had our drinks bar her to say when they arrived). My friend suffers with very bad anxiety and the attitude she got for nothing was disgusting. The drink was paid for, it was owed to her. An hour or so after this happened a glass was accidently smashed on the table nearby. Not the full glass, just the rear where the holder is. This same barmaid told the bouncer we broke one glass, then purposely broke another. Explain how only one glass was broken? The bouncer understood us. This all being said, this was when the England match was on and won 4-0. We were a group of younger females so we was very clearly a target for the barmaid. We do not go out for trouble. Yes we understand it was very busy and the staff were probably stressed but her behaviour, It beats down to nothing but jealousy. Its not the first I have heard of her being rude to customers - younger than her. If she cant treat people with respect she shouldn't work there. Apart from her, the rest of the staff were lovely. Its a shame

Fantastic pub that DJ Debbie and Lauren who work behind the bar go out their way to make your visit the best it can be.

Probably one of the friendliest pubs in Ashton. No real ales, just average lager but reasonably priced. DJ and karaoke until late at weekends. Good entertainment and quite funny at times.

A welcoming place, very lively with a nice atmosphere. But much like any other pub, depending on the time of night and intensity of the drunkness you can expect a few brawls.

Not bad for a nice few drinks in the afternoon or night plenty of choice and if football rugby or horse racing is on you can watch it in multiple places in there and there's a pool table to.

Decent for sport, tons of screens. However, the beer is awful and the glasses are filthy. If you want to track down the local riff-raff you'll have a good chance of finding them here.
