Three Crowns, Oldhamback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Pub closed. Not sure what it's been converted to. Such a shame was one of Oldham's better places to drink.

Pub was closed when I walked past yesterday. Front door boarded up with a security grille.

Visited on a Friday lunch time. The pub is deceptively large, with more seating available than you would expect when eyeing the place up from the outside.
There was a bank of three hand pumps of which two were on. Sweet Chariot at 4.8% and Revisionist Ruby Liquorice Smoked at 3.6% - both by Marstons.
I opted for the Sweet Chariot which turned out to be a somewhat uninspiring bitter. Drinkable, but not remarkable, and reminded me a bit of John Smith's.
Back to the pub itself, there was a fair mix of people in, a surprising number of people with kids (do primary schools in Oldham finish early on a Friday?), three guys propping up the bar, and a noisy young crowd on the elevated seating area. There was a TV on showing daytime TV. Although not an unpleasant pub the atmosphere was a bit strange. Would be willing to try a revisit though.

Disappointing Marstons pub set between the bus station and the police station. Marstons Pedigree & Ringwood Best. I resorted to Strongbow Dark Fruits, which was on keg! It feels a little dark inside. But it is reasonably decorated. Football reporting was on the TV. Seemed to lack atmosphere.

Expected more from this place seeing as its in the good beer guide. Beer was not bad but the place could do with a clean. Only across the road from the beer fest so hopefully improved by then.

Pleasant and traditional, though the Old Bailey (Marstons) was a bit average.
