The Art Picture House is the prominent building you see when entering Bury by tram or bus. It is a Wetherspoons outlet with a central bar and the preserved former cinema interior. Ales were Caledonian Rising Sun Pale Ale, Butcombe Moxee IPA, JW Lees The Governor, Wells Bombardier Glorious English, Phoenix Wobbly Bob, Moorhouses Blond Witch, Ruddles Best & Sharps Doom Bar. Ciders were Westons The Collaborators & Black Rat. Very handy place and one of two good Wetherspoons in the town.

One of the better 'spoons pubs, and with very good staff too.
|
good pub oppiste bus station tried when beer festival was on midweek lunch time. was very busy but soon got served tom woods beer which was a good pint.an average spoons
|
Wow nice decor fast service food usual for a spoons
|
Definitely one of the better Wetherspoons and worth a visit. The food is good for a Wetherspoons (with their usual value menus) and the choice of cask ales has improved a lot recently. Far better than the other Wetherspoons in Bury!
Stunning decor for a pub as it still maintains the previous cinema decor fittings. Convenient location directly opposite the bus & tram interchange too.
|
Central bar so more pumps round the back than first appears. Typical Wetherspoons - large room with the toilets upstairs.
|
bit hit and miss whether you get a good pint so far
|
Now The Art Picture House, a Lloyds No 1 bar.

everytime ive been there you cant move for young hens in there finery..i thought it was a nunnery one friday a nurses house another saturday and a tart and vicar rest home the week previous....im sure theres a shop in bury selling L signs..still it gives them a damn good night...usually 2 for 1 on a sat eve before you start paying to get in
|
Full of oldies but can be fun as theres always one decent girl in. Music easy to dance to and good price alcohol, VERY friendly door staff and good night if you enjoy the cheesiness.
|
First went on a hen party and got the trots
Second time went and my friend got thrown out even thought she was the one who was attached
Third time went in, full to bursting, stuck to carpets and full of old women (with far too many gold jewellery pieces on their bodies) looking for toy boys.
Takes ages to get served and don�t have a good selection of wines but they do good offers of beers and spirits.
Fourth time, don�t think so!!!

Not bad i suppose its more for the middle aged people had a works xmas do there few years back and it gave me the trotts

Now i say this the bar service is now poor on the sat night 11/02/06 went in at 11.30pm only between 4 - 6 bar staff sreving wot over 50 people at the bar during its busy times its a joke waiting 10 - 20 mins even having to pay �4 to get in as well deffo off my pub crawl list now even the door staff didnt care as they were making money all time with the people going in must have been over 800 people in at that time too
not good like it used to be full of people waiting to get served and poor bar staff working their socks off for next to nowt and they were young too bless them

A good place to be in some staff are great to us Deaf people when we all go in once a month on a sat nite staff do make us welcome and good atmosphere can have a good laugh with other people,

HUGE SCREEN TV BEHIND THE DANCE FLOOR.PROBABLY THE BIGGEST IN THE WHOLE OF BURY. ABOUT 2-3 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE NORMAL PUB BIG SCREEN TV. GETS A BIT PACKED DURING THE FOOTBALL THOUGH. THE PLACE NORMALLY IS ALRIGHT. GOOD ATMOSPHERE. FUNKY DESIGN INSIDE. MODERN MIXED WITH CLASSIC. GOOD LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. FRIENDLY STAFF. NICE AND CLEAN. QUITE BIG.PLENTY OF SPACE-DANCE AREA.

Also Right opposite Bury's bus station and Metrolink interchange in the heart of Bury Centre. Ideal for anyone who lives outside of Bury, who fancies a change of scenary!
