Local craft ale in Manchester

“Well, where do I start. It’s great here. Great but… Just a few negatives. Or development points - Only 1 free pint. Pitiful. - my drinking partner made me hurry my drink. I’ll drink when I’m ready. - not enough staff smelled of disinfectant - the noise was too ambient - it wasn’t overpriced enough - the mistletoe was too high - too many urinal cakes - the lady with grey beard behind the bar had a ‘ghost of Christmas past’ vibe Other than that a really pleasant experience. The right amount of gas and stemmed beer glasses too. 6 out of 5 for me.”

“Hired here for my grandsons 21st,they were excellent, couldn't thank them enough.Staff were really friendly and very helpful and efficient. Thank you.”

“Always enjoy the laidback atmosphere in here and friendly staff.Enjoyed a pint of Guinness £4.20 and as it was St Patrick's day some great live music from queen grace.”

“Came as part of a hen party on a Friday night, the cabaret and music in between were both great. None of our party of 10 had been before but we would all go again. Drinks package was great. Two minor things were, with where we were located it was hard for us all to watch our drinks when other people came around and started using our tables (the two big wooden tables near the stage) one table would have been suitable for us all if they were separated. Also some of the party ordered food and it didn't arrive. Even so we all still had a great night.”

“Great staff good selection of beer and we'll priced. Needs Maggie full time”

“This brewery outlet and restaurant has a pleasant green setting in Old Glossop with outdoor and indoor seating, helpful staff and imaginative options on the menu, including vegan and veggie ones - a lot of the options are light bites rather than full meals, and of course there are the various house beers. The pictured jerk chicken dish really was divine and as you can see also nicely presented. I liked the chef's dedication and enthusiasm. It's worth going to try some dishes that are a bit different, even if you're not big on beer. On that topic, I haven't the heart to deduct a star for it, but it is a shame that no alcohol-free beer is on offer, and secondly, I once ordered a home-brewed 'Hefeweizen' which is a German-style wheat beer cloudy with yeast in it, and it was served lukewarm. Being firstly German and secondly a refreshing summer drink this type of beer absolutely needs to be consumed properly chilled!”

“Lovely little village pub. Brilliant quiz every Thursday, which is not to be missed”

“A fabulous little pub in the corner of the indoor market. Always a friendly welcome and the real ale is superb, without fail. You really can't beat it.”

“An excellent real ale pub. The beer I've had there has always been very well maintained. The staff are friendly and the prices are good. The place is clean, comfortable and well maintained. I would highly recommend visiting”

“Marble Brewery are one of the best brewers around in my view. Their new tap has hit the ground running. On my visit, there was Pint on cask, in addition to 9 varied keg offerings and a full fridge. Great use of the space given its purpose and a place I'll return to.”

“Great selection of beers, good clean website. Simple ordering and picked up lunchtime the next day. Lots of precautions taken at the shop. Will definitely go again (if only for the big selection of Cloudwater beers!)”

“Strines Nightingale shows their is hope for an incredible venue, after death by annexed strangulation, that has been dished out by the corporate drinks industry to the independent pubs in the High Peaks. There’s nowhere you’d rather be locally. The type of place you’ll realise makes you want to relocate to the area. All whilst listening to music worthy of James Ford short. It’s effortless. You won’t be disappointed. A credit to the area.”

“It's a great locals pub, The landlord is clearly trying hard! The pub has regular changing cask ales and a good choice at the bar, but if this pub is not supported like so many others all this will be wasted! Support or lose! Check opening times & go and enjoy a few drinks in a great pub.”

“Lovely little pub in the heart of Poynton. Good seating area out the front and a covered, well-ventilated area at the back. Good range of beers (weihenstephan my personal favourite) and wine. Cheerful staff, helpful and accommodating. Toilets are always clean. Glad to see it survived lockdown!!”

“This place reminds me by the style to the Holy Mountain Brewery in Seattle. A nice brewery spot. Simple furniture just for hanging around and talk while enjoying one of the tasty beers. No food is served, except crisps.”

“This is what a pub should be. Great Ale served at the table, great conversation where everyone joins in, no muzak, no telly, no slots, no lager louts And its now changed, there inverted mushrooms on the ceiling to dampen the non existing sound that reaches the ears of the idiot upstairs.”

“We hired the upstairs room for a get together with friends. We had a fantastic time! The guys working there were friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make our time with them a great one. The Sunday roast was amazing! They put the menu together for us as they normally only do Brunch menu. Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you Dom, Joe and team.”

“What a turn around these 2 have made,a warm welcome ,friendly staff great atmospher a good pint at a very resonable price we had a fantastic night last friday keep the good work up,”

“These guys are so welcoming brew all there own beers. Also good supply of red and white wine gins and persecco. My favourite place to be xxx”

“We called in last Sunday evening, 13th Sept. No food available (fair enough it was quite late) so the man behind the bar suggested that we go to the excellent Indian over the road to order a take-away. He said they would deliver it to the H and H. That worked well, and the same kind man even brought us plates and cutlery to where we sat outside on that warm evening. We had some drinks and thanked him for his great kindness. It was well beyond what we would have expected from him, unfortunately didn't get his name, and we were sorry not to return there as we were leaving the following morning. What great service! John Hammonds”

“Amazing host (who does not mind muddy walkers!), welcoming locals, great beer (and a group of friendly dogs!) - what more can you ask for! :)”

“Great beer with excellent staff and very reasonably priced. They always have great beers and they are very friendly and helpful to everyone.”

“Best pub in Manchester, superb selection of beer, nice beer garden, and you can bring food in from the chip shop next door”

“Great local pub well run by Emma great ales nice atmosphere can’t wait for the summer in the fantastic large beer garden.”

“Only my second visit which seems daft as this is a cracking pub and a mecca for real ale drinkers. It is only a few minutes walk over the Irwell into Salford. The beer selection did not disappoint. I had a lovely pint of Wigan Brewhouse Soul Train. Really friendly pub on a lovely little square.”

“Excellent pub with a genuine friendly welcome and atmosphere. A proper country pub with low beams, flagged floors, real fires and always a great choice of locally brewed real ales. Rightfully very popular. A real gem, well worth a visit.”

“A lovely traditional Pub, very welcoming, great music, and very reasonably priced. I'll definitely be coming back.”

“Never Disappointed. Went yesterday for lunch. So cozy. Staff are so welcoming and friendly. (Everytime we go) Great Traditional lovely kept pub. Small menu but ALWAYS LOVELY FOOD! Will always come back. We tell all our friends to drop by. All the best. Damian and Amanda.”

“Wow, what a great beer bar. Superb choice of both keg and cask beers, friendly staff and great atmosphere.”
