Welcome Inn — Restaurant in Bury

Great pub, steeped in history and heritage. The usual selection of Joseph Holt beers.

Built in 1936. Brick and half timbered exterior. The Bar Parlour on the right has a blocked up door which was the off -sales that ran down the middle of the present room i.e. it was a bar and a snug until it was all knocked into one in the 1980s. Good bar fittings - the bar back may be some old cabinet and doorway between two parts is 1930s but much new shelves, tiles etc. Original fixed seating at the front of the room. Gents here has old urinals but modern tiles. The main bar has fully panelled walls to picture frame height, a very good glazed stone and wood surround fireplace but fixed seating may be post war. The original bar counter with leaded panels reaching to the ceiling but a new counter top and the bar back is a mixture of old and new - all the lower shelves replaced by fridges. Dado panelling up the staircase to. Original revolving door replaced by exterior and inner doors but the curved panelling around it survives. The small lounge has a good carved wood surround fireplace from the 1930s but modern tiles and fixed seating may be original. The intact gents on the left were removed in 2009.

[further update...

Pub is full of drug takers and drug dealers. Decor is old and tired. New management seem to be in with the drug dealers dealing out of toilets. Popped in after walking my dog and had an expensive item stolen from me right under 2 cameras. James the new pathetic landlord has barred me because I made a police report after being robbed. He said if you ring the police It puts a stain on his name. Maybe you should sort out the drug dealers from the normal people. He also complained that I was rude to Grace, one of his staff. I wasn't rude or nasty I asked her could I speak to James after the robbery and was told no so I rang the police and have now been barred for doing the right thing. Would not recommend to anyone with self respect or even dog walkers. One man goes in with a viscious labradoror and gets the rule of the roost. Been my my local for 20 years. Sadly joey holts Don't like local customers and prefer passing trade these days. On its last legs and ill be boycotting all Joseph holts pubs from now on after the level of disrespect I've been shown by the management of this once fine establishment. I'll also be complaining to the head office...

so happy I can call this place my local, the landlord and bar staff are all friendly and loveable people, its had a marvellous refurb and looks splendid, whether you want a quiet drink, watch some sport, play some sport or have a dance and sing on karaoke, this place can offer it all. there's various different types of things going on throughout the week that's sure to get people involved in one way or another. there's also a fantastic function room for hire and lots of parking space (just make sure you enter your reg no) also very dog friendly and a great beer garden for those up and coming sunny days...
