The 30 Best After work drinks in Stockport

“Great set up and the escape room was great fun. We did Sawtopsy and really enjoyed it. The room had a lot of physical locks - combinations and key based.”

“I have not been to this pub for fourteen years, but on Saturday 26th I went with work colleagues for a curry for my retirement and ended up in The Wheatsheaf. The Staff were brilliant young and vibrant, it was karaoke and everyone felt at ease the locals were very friendly. It was a good atmosphere and all had a great time.”

“Went to see Barbie with some friends. The seats were very comfy, lots of room. The popcorn was really fresh and the hotdogs were okay. The movie watching area was cool instead of freezing (great stuff!) and it was super clean! Staff were courteous and nice”

“Absolutely love the food here proper home cooked hearty food which is actually quite hard to find these days. We come quite often to have lunch and I normally opt for one of their amazing pies and my other half loves their Lasagna. Staff are very friendly and welcoming aswell would definitely recommend to others”

“I luv this place respect the staff and they respect me recommend jo as the 1 nicest managers all staff a fab berry clean pub atmosphere is amazing xxx”

“Fantastic Bar with amazing people running it, and such a friendly crowd inside all round great atmosphere. Superb drink choice, with beers (north/ South my favourite) and cocktails a plenty (Gin Bramble my wifes favourite). They really go all out to look after you and your dogs too. My pug loves going, I have a pint she has some biscuits!”

“First time in here, met Chris the bar tender absolutely lovely guy. Really welcoming, the atmosphere is amazing and feels homely. Top quality conversations and would definitely be attending again! 5 star service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Good choice of beers, the Stockporter was excellent. Great place for a sunshine pint. Brilliant staff, the place was buzzing with laughter. Highly recommended”

“Saturday 8th June 2024 Today, I had a good fortune to be in this grand little real ale micropub This pub had some excellent quaint beers on from small breweries. There were good local followers of real ale beers. The staff/owners were really good and knew their real ales. There was also a smashing quiet real ale outdoors drinking area at the rear of the pub. The best real ale pub in Hazel Grove by far”

“Friendly, lively atmosphere. Pleasant layout. Good selection of ales and pleased to see that there was a stout which was excellent. Not much room downstairs but more room upstairs.”

“Had the beef and Stilton pie. Best ever!! Beautiful..Lasagne and chorizo fabulous. Obviously home cooked. Great service and so friendly. Highly recommended and food such a high standard. Get yourself there!..Also dog friendly and able to sit outside under a massive awning if prefer to inside. Lovely walks behind pub and 1.5mile walk from Bullyard campsite.”

“Excellent venue. Very clean and excellent staff.”

“Gorgeous cocktails ! Sangria was alright not not sweet enough Service was lovely and the staff even made me a cocktail that wasn't on the menu so thank you ! Food was hit and miss Fajitas were very spicy but to the point where it was bitter everything else was lovely x”

“We ate here on Saturday 11.10.25. A big family group of 11. Age range 14 months -65 . Every one of us had great food, some carvery eaters, others chose from the menu. The staff were amazing (Trish as always), efficient and hugely accommodating. Even though it was quite busy, nothing was too much trouble. I personally recommend the carvery. It is amazing and the chef had added a shepherd's pie as a meat option, together with beef, Turkey, Chinese pork and roast pork. So glad I chose to have some. Delicious! Our go-to eatery, especially when family come to visit. Thank you and very well done all of you.”

“Visited for the first time today for the burger offer. We had sausage roll and taco starters which were lovely and then I got the signature burger which was amazing. Would definitely go again”

“Had the carvery. All the vegetables were lovely, perfectly cooked. Roasties would have been nicer with a fluffier type of potato. Roast beef beautiful. Perfect apple crumble with loads of custard. Lovely waitress and lovely manager from the Hesketh which closed down and is still missed.”

“The BEST venue! The heart of any establishment is it's staff. This is what makes The Spinning Top, not only special, but an incredible place to be. Mike, the landlord, is the kindest, and funniest guy you will ever meet. Our band (For The Hornets) travelled a round trip of around 9 hours to play here, and we were treated like royalty by all of the staff. It rubs off on all of the customers too, as complete outsiders we were made to feel like family. The Bar: Extremely well stocked, with a huge range of craft beers, wines, and mainsteam lagers. My draft Peroni was ice clod and in a Peroni glass - they take pride in what they do. The whole place was spotless, including the loo's. Playing as a band: As I mentioned we were treated like kings. We borrowed the house equipment (a god send for a travelling band) and it was all fantastic. Mike done the sound better than most professional sound engineers that we meet. Epilogue: The following day I had a panic attack that I'd left some vital grear at the venue, and woke Mike up at silly 'o' clock in blind panic. He was calm and extremely helpful. I'm so grateful for this. My was head slightly sore from over-indulgence.... but my abs sore from laughing all night. Absolutely incredible venue. Best in Stockport and Manchester. Would travel a long way out of my way to visit here again. 11/10.”

“A fabulous breakfast place eat in or takeaway. They are always busy but the staff are super efficient. My favourite is sausage on toast! Have also indulges in the full English and that's fab, couldn't work after eating it though!!!!!”

“Quality live music played good and loud.Decent array of beverages .Friendly clientele.”

“Brilliant pub great staff. Coming for many years always made to feel welcome. One of the last real traditional pubs in the country, they keep their beer so well. Food great. A really sociable pub.”

“Lovely panelled local with lots of rooms. Robinson's beer kept so well. Very friendly and helpful service. Just missing Dizzy Blonde on the pumps.”

“Thank you, perfect setting to feel festive but not overwhelmed. Food was delicious. Lovely service. Thanks”

“Rebecca was so warm, friendly and professional upon arrival. 10/10. Elle who I believe is the manager is v chill but on the ball. Ethan the ewok is a joy to behold, Lisa is as always charming and helpful.food was good, service was top notch”

“They’ve started doing burger deliveries and the burgers are fantastic! Think 5 guys meets GBK. I got a double Eminem burger, it came slightly pink in the middle...just how I like it. I’ll be satisfying all my burger cravings from here for now on! Chips were also nice, draught beer vacation was lovely. I’ll give the halloumi fries a miss next time they weren’t great - my only complaint”

“I called in with my husband for a quick soft drink as he was meeting his Uncle. I then left them to a conversation of football etc. The pub is a beautiful building, original tiles both on the floor and walls. Bar staff really friendly. We stayed inside as it was too hot outside (yes, too hot) but there was a beer green with a tv. We would definitely visit again.”

“Beautiful restaurant, the food was good (not the pizza) the staff really friendly, nice atmosphere prices were ok! We really enjoyed.”

“Attend a busy birthday function, the atmosphere was fun, and the queue for drinks was kept to a minimum due to quick serving staff”

“Great local pub. Amazing friendly staff. Fantastic atmosphere. And a large beer garden”

“Wide range of obscure but tasty local beverages. Awesome selection of food too. I'd recommend the hot-dog for the hungry, and the puppy-dog for the not-so-hungry. Attracts a good mixture of people, young and old. Good for families too.”

“A great pub with amazing staff, especially Millie! Prices are really really good. £19.05 for Dbl JD & Coke, Dbl Jamesons & coke and Dbl Armeretto & Coke. Very clean, welcoming and friendly pub, no issue was to small with happy faces all around and sport on the TV. Also a dartboard which is rare in a pub these days and great slot machines. Will certainly be back to try the food which smelt and looked amazing.”
