Home From Home

Welcome to Beartown! Join Orso Lounge in Congleton for delicious food, tasty drinks and our signature welcoming atmosphere. The nickname for Congleton is Beartown, after a local legend that the locals here sold the town’s bible to buy a new bear for their bear pit! With this in mind, we decided to name our new site Orso Lounge, which means bear in Italian.
