“Just had the brisket Yorkshire pudding wrap ..it was delicious..will be having some more of that..”

“A lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff.”

“Went for tapas with a group of work friends and was not left disappointed! They put a tapas buffet on for us which included starters of salami, Spanish ham, olives, pitta, sundried tomatoes and salsa, followed by gambas pil pil, chorizo, patatas bravas, Meatballs and two types of chicken and garlic bread! Food was absolutely spot on and they accommodated a lady who had a gluten intolerance, she was well impressed! Only thing I'm upset about is not taking a pic!”

“My son and daughter in law took me here today for Sunday lunch...it was very good indeed..we all said we will come back next time I visit them..food was delicious and plentiful..what more can a you ask.”

“Fabulous family friendly pub with a pool table. Great selection of ales and Sunday roast available”

“Midland is one of the good pubs in Stockport and can't fault Mark the landlord for being welcoming”

“By far the best pub in Cockbrook. Nice warm welcome every time I go for a pint, brilliant bar staff, fantastic larger and bitters. Good place to watch the football”

“Nice clean tidy a decent pint with friendly staff would definitely return again”

“Lovely big pub, nice and clean & lovely staff. It's a great place to watch sports, lots of screens and great food too!”

“Amazing little gem. I'm a fussy eater meaning I like my food well cooked and HOT served on a warm plate. Sounds logical but many fall short. This place exceeds, lovely warm welcome, attentive friendly hosts and HOT well cooked lovely food. Thanks so much x we'll be regulars”

“Really nice to see that some small brewers are happy to fly the sour flag in a market overwhelmed by IPAs. The only thing I would say is that there were lots of 'imperial' drinks - maybe these are good for winter, but I tend to steer clear of such strong beers.”

“Ok so you’ve been to pubs and bars, but have you felt part of it? I missed this little gem so many times when walking past it. If you know, then you know. Bar8 is perfect when it’s quiet, it’s perfect when it’s busy. The live music the atmosphere; just try it. I live 5mins away and it’s my new local. 10/10”

“Great pub, always a positive atmosphere. Staff (management included) are fantastic, welcoming, easy to approach and always happy to go above and beyond. The food is prepared to a high standard and affordable with the added value of good sized portions. Plenty of events to attend midweek and regular weekend entertainment.”

“Friendly staff. Good selection of cask and keg beer.pleanty of bottled beers and stocks a verity of wines and spirits, also has a room up stairs for gigs.”

“My father goes when he's in town I like the place. Had a couple of nice glasses of red wine. At least their disabled lavatory ISN'T on the 1st floor. Unlike somewhere i went not long ago”

“What can I say cheap good beer and great people Friendliest pub in Farnworth”

“Fantastic local traditional pub, a fantastic host and hostess. Very reasonable prices. And they have Sky football on large screens.”

“Excellent pub, a brilliant selection of beers. Would 10/10 recommend”

“Love going here for a drink, really good prices. Nice place, friendly staff.”

“Great little pub, with a smashing old interior. A wonderful pint of mild and a pretty good bitter to boot.”

“Good outside sitting area. Delicious food. No great beer options (and most were off). Bit expensive.”

“Popped in whilst travelling past. Amazing food, friendly service and lovely pub. The beef wrap was INCREDIBLE. Beef so full of flavour and literally melt in the mouth. Gravy was epic and chips so good too. Kids loved the nuggets and fries and other family members had the roasts. Apparently the best roasts they have had in 15yrs. Proper home cooked food, roasts AND mash and veg that tasted like proper veg! Again epic gravy! Family live over half an hour away but will defo travel again for another visit. 5 stars and more! Thank you so much!!!”

“Brilliant in the middle of Manchester place for food and drink options, with buses and Metrolink just around on the next streets along. Good range of things to have at the bar and a good menu choices available at any time of day that they are open.”

“Pleasantly surprised to find this was a Samuel Smith's pub, so very cheap. Beer was very well kept. A very interesting building architecturally too - not your average pub. I did like their "Digital Detox" stance, which meant people were having actual conversations and not just sat looking at their phone!!”

“Brilliant pub, quiet and peaceful, with a great history! Used to be a music hall back in the 1800's so has been there for a long time. If you want a quiet drink or catch the footie it's a great place to go. Also a great place to have meet ups and functions too! They have a nice little back room that our theatre company rehearses in from time to time and they are always very nice and accomodating! Seriously can't praise this place enough!”
