The George

Walk into The George and you'll clock straightaway it's the kind of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. Sitting right there on Wallgate in the town centre, it's got that warm, lived-in feel you get from a place that's been keeping Wigan company for years. The sort of spot where regulars prop up the bar and staff remember your name by your second visit. You're getting proper pub fare here—nothing fancy, just done well—and they take their ale selection seriously without being wanky about it. Whether you're popping in for a quick pint after work or settling in for the afternoon, The George does what good locals do: makes you feel welcome and doesn't charge you the earth.
