I think for away fans its the Beehive or Barnstormers which are both quite close too by all accounts. That's not to say The Horwich Park one doesn't either but I've not seen anything on it.

Bolton given yet more time to pay their tax bill ,( on the basis of impending new take over). Court adjourned ..... until May 8th I think .

How the hell do they keep getting away with it?

But without that crowd safety certificate being issued before Saturday, you will be wasting your time traveling, go and support a team more local to where you live until the next game.

The one nearest the Ground is the Horwich Park Inn.

Found this...

The main pub for away fans is the Beehive, which is about a 10-15 minute walk away from the away turnstiles. It is a good sized pub that also serves food. You can also park your car there or in car parks close by (see below). I have to say that the pub is normally very good in getting people served even if it is three deep at the bar as they have a lot of serving staff. Another pub is the Barnstormers pub on Lostock Lane (from the M61, go past the stadium on your left, move into the right hand filter lane and turn right at the traffic lights into Lostock Lane, the pub is down on the right) which does admit away fans. There is also a mixture of street parking and paid parking (at some industrial units) in this area.

Otherwise alcohol is served within the ground, although for some games such as local derbies, the Club opt not to sell any. Alcohol available inside the ground includes; Worthington's Bitter (£4 a pint), Carling (£4 a pint),  Coors Light (£4.20 a pint) Carling Apple Cider (£4.20 a pint), Guinness (£4.20 a pint), Kingstone Press Mixed Berey (£4.40 500ml),  Red or White Wine (£4.30 187ml bottle). In another good move then the Club allows you to pre-order and pay for your half time drinks, before the game has kicked off, through the purchase of tokens. Thus making it quicker to get your hands on your interval liquid refreshments.

There are a number of bars on the nearby Middlebrook Retail Park (the Macron Stadium is on the Middlebrook Retail estate). However most of these have bouncers on the doors that only admit home fans on the production of a matchday or season ticket, There are though plenty of eating outlets on the Retail Park; KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway and a Bolton Wanderers themed McDonalds as well as several other themed restaurants

Right by the ground mate. I assume that's where the coaches will go.
