Wigan Casino Theme Pub In Wigan

[Koolkat]

I once went for an afternoon out on the beer in Wigan. It was on a wed early springish. 1992ish cant remember exact year. Anyway weve had few beers and we stumbled up a back cobbled alley/street. At the end of it was a bar. Cant remember the exact name .It was something like "The temple of soul". We entered but it was empty. It was actually opening on that very night, and the girl behind the bar was putting finishing touches to it. Hanging pictures and the like. The were a few Casino pictures and stuff. We cajoled the girl into giving us a bottle of beer cos there were no draught on. But I,ll be honest I was that wasted I cant remember anything else. Just wondered what it ended up like. Did it take off or bomb. Somebody must know on here.

Yep. It was run by Mick Lyons.

They played Hardcore House downstairs and Northern upstairs.

Had many a good Sunday Nighters locked in as well.

I refurbished the place for him then it had a fire a month later.

Reopened for a while as The Phoenix playing Hardcore House only.

Something to do with Wigan Council now I think.
