Small World Spring Barrel at the Tap 'n' Barrel, Wigan

From the outside, this is a very interesting building. There’s a modern-style rotunda tower that you can actually climb up to have a pint in. Its wooden tables gives it a bit of a classroom look though so perhaps it’s better off using it as a private meeting room. The small bar spans just enough room to sport four handpumps with a breakfast bar which sports seats opposite. There’s very little room to prop oneself up here. I’m not a fan of the green wall though. The outside space is very inventive with its Astroturf, greenery and wooden fencing. You might be mistaken for hanging out in someone’s garden. The locals are friendly enough to chat to but the barman was a bit of a miser on my visit. Maybe he’d had enough of people passing through for a quick one to fill up his pub without stopping for a session.
