The Flat Iron — Restaurant in Chorley

The Flat Iron – A Beautiful Mess

If you like your nights loud, chaotic, and slightly unhinged, The Flat Iron is exactly where you need to be. It’s the kind of pub where the music is so loud you can feel it in your bones, and any attempt at conversation quickly turns into a full-volume shouting match.

The dancefloor? More like a battlefield, where groups of lads are hyping each other up, birthday girls are throwing their heels in the corner, and at least three people are aggressively pointing at each other during the chorus of a song they barely know. No one is safe from a spontaneous group chant, and if you’re standing still too long, someone will pull you in.

The bar staff operate with military precision, slinging out pints and doubles like their lives depend on it. Expect sticky counters, drinks that are mostly mixer, and shots that taste like petrol but hit like a train. Asking for a cocktail here is like asking for fine dining at a kebab shop—know what you’re signing up for.

By the end of the night, the pavement outside is a soap opera: couples dramatically breaking up, someone sitting on the curb with a kebab in hand, and that one guy looking for his phone despite everyone knowing it's in the smoking area. The Flat Iron doesn’t do quiet nights—but if you want a gloriously messy one, you won’t...

I call this pub BIG HEADS. I tend to avoid this pub because I get sick and tired of asking can you top it up. I only want a pint. The head is from my experience always WAY ABOVE the permitted 10% as is the case this evening. Should be referred to weights and measures such is the blatant, intentional pouring of short measures. It’s dead in here and I have to ask is it any wonder when neighbouring pubs are far busier. The pub has a loyalty card scheme which I never like buying in to, nothing is free and I must buy at least one pint total of frothy head in order to get back a real 3/4er’s of a pint. Nah lots of other better pubs...
