The Waterside Inn is one of the oldest buildings in Leigh. Situated in the very heart of the town, on the canal, the Waterside is an attractive old red brick building which dates back to the 15th Century. Internally there are cosy drinking areas, and separate brass bar seating, and now we have more seating on our canal side terrace. The establishment features low ceilings, adorned with steel beams, to help achieve our shabby-chic interior.

 

The Waterside Inn has been a hugely popular public house for Leythers over the years.

However, after the pub was forced into closure in the early stages of the pandemic, Greene King later announced that it would not be reopening the Waterside Inn, due to ongoing issues surrounding the pandemic and "other mitigating factors".

​

While the venue has remained closed to the public for four years, there has been a lot of work going on behind the scenes after the independent pub operator DCB Group took over the premises last year making it The Waterside Inn you know today.
