Earl's is perhaps best described as a cafe bar and coffee shop. Its orange frontage harks back to the famous old Bolton bakers shop which once sat here. More recently the site was a barbers and coffee shop run by one of the current owners. The barbers shop has moved over the road. Opening the door to Earl's you will find a service point where you can still buy takeaway coffee. The entrance also acts as a welcome to the sit-down area to the right. This has a contemporary feel provided by bare wood, soft lighting and shelving providing home to an impressive collection of vinyl LPs. Table service is provided for range of craft keg beers from the likes of Thornbridge and local brewery Rivington. The latter are live in the keg. You can also purchase natural wine, coffee and small plate food and pastries depending on the time of day. The range of food should increase over time. Earls's welcomes dogs and also children during the day, reflecting the aim to develop the venue as one for the local community. There is a single unisex toilet to the rear. Note that Earl's is cashless - you can only pay with card or smartphone.
