MancWanderer Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Going into H Town after the match on sat for some beers and food. Must be over 25 years since I’ve been drinking there so no idea where to go Recommendations of decent boozers gratefully accepted Think we are eating at Max Italia(?). Any good?

Super Bock Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Blackedge Brewery is the pick of the bunch followed by The Ale House (Bank Top Beers). Vic and Albert and the Tap and Cork also worth a mention. It’s a thumbs down for Max Italia for me, although I did eat there at a quiet time between Christmas and New Year.

stevieb Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Try il Toro or better still lucianos for your Italian. There's a new micro pub opened next to the nisa on Chorley New road that looks good. Only opened last week so can't comment but want to give it a try. Super bock has nailed the pubs for me. Crux emporium is decent if you are with the wife and she likes cocktails.

Site Supporter Spider Posted April 23, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2019 Max Italia isn’t that bad, standard tank reversing grub and the pasta dishes are spot on. best boozes are Bank top, black edge and vic&albert. just avoid the saddle and you’ll be reet.

Burndens Bogs Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Max Italias awreet for a feed, never had a bad meal there yet without it ever being exceptional, if you know what i mean. We always start up at The Ale House,then work our way down into the bright lights of Horwich, usually swerve the Saddle though. Never come across Black Edge Brewery, where abouts is it?.
