About Hop and Hazlewood
Hop and Hazlewood is billed as Tyldesley's only dedicated live music venue, a craft-beer bar on Elliott Street with rotating taps and a gin-and-rum bar. The roughly 75-capacity room hosts weekly open-mic and jam nights plus regular live-music nights showcasing some of the best acts from across the North-West, with monthly comedy added to the mix. Dog-friendly, well-priced and run by a famously friendly team, it welcomes both original artists and covers and supplies a house PA and a guitar amp with two mics — a genuine grassroots music hub for the Tyldesley/Bolton area.
