A vibrant Indian restaurant and late‑night cocktail bar in the heart of Bolton, serving crowd‑pleasing dishes, premium drinks and luxurious shisha, with live sport, DJs and private hire for celebrations. 

What we do

Set beside Nelson Square, The Bar of Spice & Spirits blends laid‑back dining with lively nights out. Expect proper Indian favourites alongside street‑food bites, plus a full bar menu for cocktails, wines, spirits and chilled beer. Breakfast and indulgent desserts are part of the mix, so you can drop in day or night and feel at home.

Food, drink and shisha

From biryani to chaat, the kitchen leans into bold flavours and shareable plates, ideal for date nights, family catch‑ups or a pre‑club bite. The bar is the showpiece, with classic serves and house cocktails that look the part. Fancy unwinding after dinner, or skipping straight to the lounge, the venue also offers a premium shisha experience.

Late nights, live sport and weekly deals

Weekdays are made for Happy Hour, usually 11 am to 7 pm, and Thursdays bring a wallet‑friendly combo, any two Indian street‑food plates plus two house cocktails for £15. Big game on, the screens are ready, the sound is up, and the atmosphere is spot on. Weekends run late, with DJs and special events throughout the year.

A venue with something for every mood

What really sets The Bar of Spice & Spirits apart is the way it combines so many experiences under one roof. By day it’s a laid-back spot for lunch or a quick drink, but as the sun goes down it shifts gears into a buzzing cocktail bar and late-night venue. The décor is sleek and vibrant, the music ramps up, and the energy is infectious. Add in the luxurious shisha lounge, big screens for sport and regular DJ nights, and you’ve got a place that offers something for every mood, whether you’re after a relaxed catch-up, a big celebration or just a spontaneous night out.
