Henighans, Bolton

Henighans is an open plan pub with a bar on the rear wall that is flanked by a dartboard to the right and a seating area the makes up the left hand side of the pub. Plasma screens are located throughout and this pub has Sky Sports. There is a small raised area with a piano on the left hand wall where I imagine the bands set up for the advertised live music nights. There was some background music playing off a jukebox and all of the plasma screens were muted. Standard draught is available from the bar and the two supported hand pumps were both unused on my Thursday evening visit last week. The only food I saw advertised were chilli and meat & pot pie that was scrawled on a chalkboard. Out the front are a couple of picnic tables that were being used by smokers. I though this place to be clean and the service was friendly. I’m not sure that I would go out of my way to revisit, but I would pop in for a quick pint if passing.

The Horse Shoe is now called Henighans
