Barracuda Bar is a very basic chain pub with uninspiring beer choices and standard-​issue grub.
Now, while that isn’t exactly awe-​inspiring, it isn’t exactly a gripe either. Essentially, this is a place that feels very familiar and you’ll slot right in should you find yourself inside.
The beer is cheap and there’s offers on the food at lunchtime.
The bar itself is located in the pleasing Nelson Square and is easy to get to from the town centre or, if you’re from out of town, around 5 minutes away from the train station.
So.
Yeah.
It’s a pub. Any old pub.
Not bad in any way. Not great either.

A South African themed bar with bit of an older client base! very decent food though.

This place is not trying to be a upmarket sexy bar, its cheap and cheerful. Seems to be the first place to start the night out. As from there you can go left for the rougher run down pubs and on to the square for somthing a little bit more sophisticated. However I would not recommend it in the day. What can I say really apart from it is bad. Old men getting drunk and mothers with prams getting drunk. Not good! Also the food isn’t too good either. O the weekend in the day seems to be a little better. Seems the popular place to be if you are watching sport and is usally the best in the town centre for atmosphere. I always say if everywhere is dead, go there and thats where everyone will be.

Located on Nelson Sq in Bolton this is a ‘modern’ pub. At weekends there is a DJ and it gets very busy.
It isn’t my cup of tea because it is a bit ‘scally-​ish’, it’s ok if you’re drunk, I supposed.
The prices are typical town centre prices, I’ve never eaten here, if I wanted microwaved chips I’d do them myself.
The staff are reasonably friendly. The bar is in a good central location so it is good as a meeting place.

This is a really good meeting point. Really handy and stands on the corner of Nelson Square. You can then move on to the other bars in the square or the nearby restaurants, pizza express, tiggi’s, la tasca etc. The bar is really big and subsequently, doesn’t get too crowded. They have big screens for the sport and big booths for groups. great atmosphere!

great food with loads of choice. the staff are friendly and never have to wait to long for food.
I love the music at the weekend and love going on the quiz machine. They play football matches on the big screen too.

Well worth a visit this is a great bar to start your night out in, with loads of seating and standing room, a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices and a dance floor for when youre really enjoying the music.
Centrally located on the ground floor and opposite both La Tasca and Tiggis restaurants this is esay to find. But be warned it does suffer from sticky floor syndrome towards the end of the night, which depending on your thinking is good or bad. The staff though busy are always polite and will generally apologise if they realise you have had more than a couple of minutes to wait. The bar is kept tidier than you might expect of a busy bar with glass collectors constantly on the prowl clearing and cleaning as they go.

Bar Barracuda isnt a bad pub. It has a nice selection of drinks and has friendly staff. gets pretty busy on weekends and on friday nights and has a good atmosphere
