Bar drinks in Altrincham

“I had a lovely lunch here yesterday, good offer of all the standard all day breakfast stuff as well as healthier options like salads, baked potatoes and lunch specials. Good value for money, much more reasonably priced than other eateries in Hale. Give it a try”

“Great quality food for a more upscale version of a British lunch. The scallops were outstanding so was the T bone steak in particular as cooked to perfection, but was all great. Lovely restaurant in Hale village and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.”

“Came in after being really let down by the market food hall across the road (I’m far too Northern to pay £16 for a pie.) As a lunch, from start to finish the most perfect lunch I’ve ever had. Seriously. I would travel out Of my way to come here again”

“We stumbled upon this charming Belgian-style bar while out for a few drinks in Altrincham with my wife—and what a fantastic find! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a traditional Belgian vibe that adds real character. The drinks were excellent, and although we didn’t try the food (we’d already eaten), it looked delicious and well-presented. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!”

“Not able to judge the food (they dont sell any) or the atmosphere (as no one else was in) but the bar itself is wonderful. Only small, with an indoor upstairs seating area & a small section out front with tables & chairs (only good for dry days) Theres also a beer garden to the rear apparently (never tried it)? Although limited for bar space the beer selection is good. More often than not there are 3 locally brewed ales on cask & 8 beers on keg, which usually includes a dark one. Altrincham born & bred Iv'e been coming here since it opened in the early 2000s and despite both it sister bars closing (Chorlton & Liverpool) luckily this bar continues to trade. I wish there was a greater choice, but should you be unable to find something unsuitable on cask/keg, they also have a well stocked fridge with numerous craft ales so im confident you'll find something suitable. Not the cheapest of bars, but far from the most expensive. OK, its getting a little tired around the edges now & the downstairs disabled toilets could do with a bit of a face lift, but all that said I still highly recommend this place.”

“Love this place ! Find it by accident :) and I'm well impressed! :) Definitely will be back here ! :) What a beautiful, magical place. :) the all interior is cosy and welcoming and outside looks cool too !”

“Cocktails were 10/10!! It’s hard to make a delicious Pornstar Martini but they so good we went back for seconds!! Lovely atmosphere and our server V was very friendly and made the best cocktails! Cant wait to go back! So good to have a local fab cocktail bar!!”

“A huge thank you to James and Jennifer who made my cousins 11th birthday extra special. From the beginning to the end staff were attentive, kind and warm. The ambiance and facilities are top notch, which is why we always come back. Best regards. Laish.”

“Called in for the first time today just as I was passing. Bought a few things then thought I’d visit the cafe for coffee and cake . Really nice small cafe. Totally spotless and the most amazing thing was the great service and friendliness of the lovely lady who works there. ( blonde plaited pony tail ) Thank you so much . You are a credit to Waitrose .”

“Excellent choice of ales in this friendly local bar. Nice atmosphere, seats inside and out - with heating. Friendly staff. Good prices. Will Definitely return If in the area”

“Fantastic team, highly recommend restaurant. I have booked this one to celebrate my husband birthday, amazing foods and overwhelming arrangement for us. Especially thanks Valeria, Sashin and Rhys, good team!!”

“Lovely food and well presented starters. Mango mojito was top . I would recommend this restaurant and try “different” indian experience compare to all the same food you get in indian fast foods around.”

“I had a couple of guinness. No food. Didnt see they had Murphys until late so i will be back for a pint of that They have tayto Great atmosphere here, people enjoying the craic or watching the GAA. I visited this pub when it was the Tavern. I wrote a bad review amd critised whoever was running it, as it seems like a nice wee spot. The new people who have taken it over have put some love into this. Well done. I went in with low expectations and was proved utterly wrong. I cant understand how they can offer a free buffett. I would urge you to give this place a go.”

“I had my wedding here last weekend and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!! The day was everything we hoped for and so so much more, and so much of that is down to the freedom the venue gave us to do things exactly how we wanted and the BRILLIANT staff!!!! I cannot recommend this venue enough - We had our wedding breakfast, speeches and evening reception there, and it was all just amazing. Huge thank you to Ian for all of his help and support on the day and on the run up - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! Also massive thanks to the bar staff on the day! Laura and Tom xxxxxxxxxxx”

“Fantastic venue, food and drink. The waitress Emily was AMAZING, so welcoming and friendly and made us feel really at home! Will definitely be back!”

“Just back from a lovely themed night at Aspire Restaurant at Traffordd College - fabulous value and great food. Really good prices for quality drinks too. We had a 3 course meal with additional appetisers on arrival and coffee with a sweet treat at the end and 2 alcoholic drinks each including their fabulous award winning Rhubard Gin Cocktail (delicious) All in it came to £50.20 for the 2 of us plus of course we left service on top of that. So pleased to have revisited and looking forward to more meals there going forwards. Well done Aspire!”

“Nearly didn't book here due to some bad reviews. Glad I did because the place is fine. It does look a bit tatty on the outside but it is OK inside. Although it is on a main road into Manchester we were surprised at how little traffic there was overnight. Our room was overlooking the road and we had no problem with traffic noise. It had acoustic double glazing that was very effective. There is no air con but a fan is provided which helps. We were there on one of the hottest days/nights and found it tolerable. The meal deal was good. You eat in the pub which is attached to the hotel. Unfortunately it doesn't have any real ale but the Draught Guinness was good. There was a selection of lager and cider. So don't be put off, if it is convenient for you go for it.”

“Good fee games of pool and some nice drinks have a chat with some good tunes then home.”

“May be a small place but it is consistently excellent food and lovely guy. I bought recently to take away 2 whole small toffee/nut/choc maple syrup cheesecakes…..they were divine as described by the guest I served it to.”

“Great beer and great service. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating.”

“I’ve been visiting this coffee shop regularly for a while now, and I honestly can’t praise the team enough. You can immediately tell they take pride in their work and genuinely care about both the quality of the coffee and the experience of everyone who walks in. Oli in particular has this effortless way of making the space feel welcoming, friendly, and his attentiveness is very wholesome. He remembers people’s preferences, checks in with guests thoughtfully, and the whole atmosphere runs smoothly under his watch. The drinks are consistently excellent, the service is efficient but personal, and there’s a calm, professional energy even during an influx. If you’re looking for a spot where you’re treated like a valued regular rather than just another customer, this is 100% it. Highly recommended!”

“I had a wonderful experience at Jardim Restaurant! The fresh salads from the salad bar were crisp and full of flavor, the fries were perfectly cooked and delicious, and the steaks were tender and juicy. To finish, the chocolate marquise was absolutely divine – the perfect dessert! Highly recommend this place for both quality food and great atmosphere.”

“They're one of the best cafes around. Staff is super friendly and the place is spotless. They'll get more customers if they offer more food types, like pastries and cakes.”

“Robina and John are the most wonderful neighbours to have over the road from Hive Stores. They both work very hard to bring a lot more joy and creativity to the neighbourhood and are always willing to help where they can. The waiting room cafe has the best value full English around and the engine room is set to become a great creative hub. Whilst enjoying breakfast on our day off we conversed with familiar faces from the local neighbourhood who were enjoying crafts and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Robina and John for always helping, making us laugh and generally being authentic people. You've created a great space!”

“Ooof I cant explain how wonderful this place is. Just tricky if you are in a bigger group. Every time I am in Altrincham I do come here. So don't misunderstand. Awesome place. X x”

“Popped into the shop earlier today to grab a couple of bottles. The salesman, I think his name was Joe, couldn't have been more helpful. He gave me a really great selection of recommendations and was really helpful getting everything into the car for me. Will definitely go back.”

“Very friendly staff, excellent food and not expensive. Nice atmosphere, will definitely go back again.”

“The best breakfast sandwiches around! Unlike anywhere else I’ve tried, they use high quality buns and toast them which is so much better than the cheap white rolls found in most places. The quality of the bacon and eggs is also amazing. Great pit stop on our dog walks.”
