Wangies, Patricroft, Salford

Wangies is a live music pub that has a Pirate, Tiki, Day of the Dead theme going on. To be honest I thought they’d forgotten to take down the Halloween decoration from last year. Through the entrance to the left is a raised seating area where some DJ equipment was also set up. To the right of the entrance is more seating that is faced by the L-shaped bar. The are three hand pumps, one of which was unused which left Old Rosie and Lillies Cherries ciders as the cask options. There is also a standard keg range. At the rear of the pub is a back bar with a pool table, dartboard and plenty of standing room.

When i visited this pub it was called the Oddfellows Arms,the pub is situated almost opposite the Bird in Hand. Once inside the pub had two seperate rooms i had a drink in the room at the front which was the bar,this was a basic room but decent enough,there was a seperate lounge to the rear. The pub was a Greenall Whitley tied house at the time of my visit,there was one real ale on the bar,this was Greenalls bitter which was a decent enough drink. This was a proper drinkers pub that is situated in an area of Eccles which is packed with pubs. Pub first visited 21/3/1987 Photo taken 18/11/1995
