Skolars Sports Bar, Wood Greenback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Closed today, even with London Skolars RL playing Widnes just up the road.

Swung past the Skolars this evening and it is shut! Doors locked & curtains drawn. No explanation, just closed.

I popped in here on Tuesday night and there was only one other person in. I thought that being a sports bar it would be a little busier, especially as there was a premiership match playing on the big plasma screen at the back. Maybe everyone was saving themselves for the Gooners v 'Top Four' Tottenham game the night after.
For the size of the pub there�s not that much seating with bar stools lining the bar and some sofas and tables around the walls of the pub. There is a pool table and the dart board is tucked around the corner towards the rear.
There is a selection of standard lagers at very reasonable prices, but there is no real ale.
Although I didn�t stay long due to the lack of any other people the barman made me feel very welcome. This is a pub that I would frequent again if it was a little nearer to my local area.

Perhaps more worth a visit than the other pubs in the area due to the link with the Skolars. Fairly popular with away fans due to its proximity to the ground.

Great pub. I've moved away now but since revisited and has a great friendly atmosphere. ps. if anyone knows how to contact any of my old mates, John and Carol Walsh or Ian Ilet please let me know.

It's been my local for decades, so I must like it! But there is no Wifi, A/C or disabled toilet (at least in the gents).
Used to be called the Seven Oaks, and may be again one day I hope, always sad to see a name with tradition wither and die.
The beer is good, though only keg Tetley for a bitter, snif.
One of the managers calls it a 'great no attitude pub' and he's right - even a wiero like me fits in and gets a welcome.
I'd give it a ten but for the music which occasional drowns out all hope of conversation.

Named after the London Skolars Rugby League team, who play just down the road at the New River Stadium in National League 2. They have Darts, 2 Pool Tables, and Sky. Despite being in the area a freind of mine calls 'Nam (as in Tottenham) I have never had less than a warm welcome in here. They welcome Northerners who are down for the weekend, mostly in 50-100. It's getting a reputation "Up-North" as a decent boozer.
