Happy 8th Birthday to Players Lounge.
I Can’t believe that we have been here for 8 years.
I could never of imagined how proud I would be with our little club. We had an amazing 7 years until Covid hit and I would like to thank all of the staff and customers for all their continued support throughout the pandemic.
I honestly can’t wait to get back doing what I love. I’m missing it and all our lovely regulars so much and all the banter too.
Stay Safe and see you all soon ❤️

We are allowed to reopen on the 17th May and are now taking bookings.
There will still be restrictions in place which I will post nearer the time once we have had further confirmation.

It is with great sadness that we aren’t able to open over the Christmas period.
After months of being closed and not seeing all our wonderful customers and teams week in week out, we have missed you all dearly.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!
We hope that 2021 is filled with love and happiness and that we can return with some kind of normality in the not to distant future.
We would also like to thank you all for your continued support and kind messages throughout these unprecedented times we have all found ourselves in.
Keep Safe, keep positive and have a lovely Christmas.
We will be back with a bang💥💥
Lots of love all the Players Lounge Team

As I’m sure your all aware, Greater Manchester has been placed in tier 3 meaning Players Lounge will remain closed for the forceable.
We are devastated, especially at this time of year, however we would like to once again Thank you all for your continued support and kind words.

24/10/2020

Just a reminder that we are closed. 😫

Unfortunately due to Greater Manchester going in to tier 3 from tomorrow, we have to close from 10pm tonight.
We were hoping that as we serve substantial meals and are operating in a Covid secure manner that we would be allowed to remain open but after speaking to wigan council today, we have been informed that the use of pool and snooker tables are a definate no.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support throughout these challenging times.
We hope to see you all soon. Keep safe ❤️
