The Raven

You'll find this place right in the heart of Wallgate, and it's exactly what a proper Wigan pub should be. The sort of place where you can settle in for a proper session without any of that gastropub nonsense getting in the way. The beer selection is solid - they know their way around a good pint here, and the regulars clearly appreciate it. What sets The Raven apart from other town centre pubs is that it manages to feel genuinely welcoming without being either too rough around the edges or trying to be something it's not. Whether you're popping in for a quick one after work or making an evening of it with mates, it strikes that perfect balance between proper local and somewhere you'd actually recommend to others.
