The Blarney Stone is an Irish bar at 11 Bradshawgate in central Bolton (BL1 1EL), serving a wide selection of beers, wines and spirits. The pub reopened in late 2023 (briefly as Prince Billy's before rebranding to the Blarney Stone) on the site once known as the Prince William — reputedly the most-renamed pub in England with around fifteen name changes. To the rear is a dedicated area used for live bands and DJs, with live entertainment on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and a Thursday open mic night, making it one of Bolton town centre's regular grass-roots music stops.
