Judging by the recent clientele I am fully expecting to see a multi coloured flag hanging outside and a name change to "The strap a dick to me".
Truly a terrible pub, the DJ's deck made out of gaffer tape is a sight to behold

3 words for you CRAP CRAP CRAP!!! this is the worst pub in Bolton badly run only reason it is still open is the late night drinkers and smokers else it wouldn't have lasted 2 mintues!!!!!!!!!

mr_fu no i'm not big franks best mate or something, I just know when a pub is being run right any one can fill a pub with a load of dick heads. when frank and sally had it a lot of the regulars who hadn't been in for years were coming back in. Now again those regulars aren't coming in as minesapint bob says.

This pub will not be open in another 6 months it is now one of the worse pubs in Horwich is not the worst. Don't no what that mr_fu is going on about quality ale and good custom don't know what nights he has been in even the regulars don't go in now it's that bad.

Quality ale, good custom. What more can you want. Shame the women let it down,I've seen scarecrows with better dress sense. They are quite scary.
SteveCider, are you big franks best mate or lover or somethin?! The pub has been in decline for the last 20 years, this is the best it has been.

i like it

Yes Vic has opened and once again what a let down! still don't surpose it could be any worse than when that loyd had it. I have been going in this pub for nearly 20 years and the best it has been and i've heard a lot of others say it too was when Frank and Sally had it. You could relax and enjoy your pint without a load of idiots frank wouldn't stand for any nonnsence! It was always busy with a great attmopthere, it was the busyist it's been easily since 70's and now it's just dead it'll never be the same. I wish someone like Frank would come back again.

The Vic has re-opened in the last couple of weeks after being done up (not).
Some repainting and minor adjustments, otherwise the same old dump with the same customers.

Passed today and their were some workmen (or maybe demolition men)going in.

Victoria Court apartments anybody? Pleasant aspect overlooking the pile of rotting pallettes.
anonymous - 11 Sep 2007 21:07
I notice some of the windows have been boarded up, can't see it reopening any time soon.
inspectorblakey - 9 Jul 2007 19:24
Now closed after a visit from the bailiffs.

Very large open area with very few people in,landlady and staff very nice but landlord loud and can be abusive .
bitterboy - 7 Apr 2007 16:21
Not the best but 0.5 out of 10 - come on!

Much better bet than its New Road neighbours if you want to get a pint in on your way to/from the match

Stand at the bar and try to get served if you aren't a regular.

Stand at the bar and watch the tumbleweed blow through the empty space.
