Nook & Cranny, BOLTON, Greater Manchester

Classy and friendly bar helping to keep quality beer in a part of town which had suffered from pub closures in recent years.

The venue has been an instant hit with locals since opening in March 2018.

Large bench tables help to spark a convivial atmosphere and three handpumps dispense a range of top quality real ales usually including those from local breweries such as Blackedge, Northern Monkey, Brewsmith and Northern Whisper alongside well regarded brews from across the UK.

There is also a good range of real ciders. Ten modern keg style taps provide beer from some of the country's finest producers, including different styles such as barrel aged sours, lagers and double IPAs.
