Local breweries in Manchester

“Had a really great time, went to 4 pubs/breweries and sampled lots of quality beers, would do again! Thanks to Darren our tour guide for making it a fun day!”

“Great tour of the local Stockport Brewery, Bernice on reception was helpful and Gary took us around the brewery with his facts.”

“The place to go in Royton - and Oldham for that matter - for craft beer. The menu is always changing with great choices from various breweries from across the UK. The atmosphere is always good and you're always given a friendly welcome. The food is great too, be it the in-house burgers or the various street food vendors that come into the kitchen, too.”

“Cloudwater Taphouse is a bit of a hidden gem. Slightly off the beaten path but nice and close to Piccadilly Train Station. They have a large selection of their own ales and guest ales available and they also have regular, varied cultural events on. It's a super chill vibe. Take in your beer to the backdrop of some interesting music or get a ticket to one of the art house film nights with themed food.”

“Very friendly pub next to the canal with outside seating, live music every second Thursday. Well worth a visit.”

“Everything at Puss in Boots is always amazing. The food is consistently delicious, the staff are incredibly friendly, and both the team and management regularly check in to make sure you’re looked after. Every visit feels like a big family reunion — the atmosphere is always welcoming and full of good energy. Whether we pop in during a walk just for a drink, or bring family and friends who are visiting, it’s always our special go-to place. Everyone we take there ends up loving the experience and the food just as much as we do. The staff always take great care of us, and the manager often stops by our table with something new we have to try. I would highly recommend Puss in Boots to anyone in the Stockport area. The atmosphere truly makes you feel at home, and whoever you take there will leave with positive energy and appreciation for the warm interior and amazing service.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Warm Welcome from Elaine and the Black Dog Pub Team Elaine, the landlady of the Black Dog Pub in Belmont Village, deserves the highest praise. From the moment we arrived as new residents, she and her wonderful staff welcomed us with immense warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere they’ve created at the Black Dog is friendly, inviting, and full of community spirit — exactly what every village pub should be. It’s quickly become our favourite local spot and a big part of why Belmont already feels like home. Thank you, Elaine, for making us feel so welcome!”

“Easily one of my favourite venues in Manchester, perfect size, lovely staff, great music.”

“We had a fantastic time at bottomless brunch! The drink and food selection was excellent — plenty of delicious options to choose from. The setting itself is lovely, relaxed, and perfect for a weekend treat. Our server, Jasmine, was absolutely brilliant — so attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well looked after from start to finish. We honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. Highly recommended!”

“Friendly staff Convenient Plenty of fantastic bargains to be had A evening in? Movie night? Bargain booze is there to assist.”

“Well worth the visit Gary our tour guide made the tour of this old brewery entertaining and informative. LOTS of stairs so maybe unsuitable for those with mobility issues. The Unicorn Brewery will close soon, Christmas 2023, and so will the tours.”

“Very unique and beautiful city. Shame that we only had a limited time to explore this place. Still worth having a bus Sightseeing tour.”

“Very nice sweets and also has a lot of flavours of Fanta”

“Simply perfect birthday meal. Service was exceptional, food was delicious and the atmosphere was electric. Loved every minute. Thank you for making my birthday meal with my sister special. Can’t wait to come back!”

“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!”

“Fantastic selection of wines, whiskey, gin, Vodka and craft beers. With the added bonus of a selection of cigars and chocolates. So far my favourite wine has been a Pinot Noir from Romania. Staff also know about what they're selling, definitely my favourite place for alcohols.”

“Fantastic little cafe, had the builders breakfast, and for £7 you couldn't fault it. The service was great and the staff were friendly. 5 stars all thd way.”

“Couldn't star the food as we didn't have any HOWEVER.... the lady who owns The Gallery is an incredible artist and it shows in the decor. Before I go any further, this is also a great bar with lovely cocktails. Stunning is an understatement, there is something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. Inside and outside, just beautiful, a gorgeous place to visit. I just wish she opened every day and night, but alas, only Thursday to Saturday. Friday being the only late one till 10pm. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed.”

“They normally have a good selection of ales here when I visit, but it was a little weaker than usual. Quality is excellent however.”

“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.”

“A great little bar with a good selection of changing beers on draught and an extensive selection of bottled beers which you can also drink in the bar with a small additional charge. There is some outside seating too. Well worth a visit if you are in Prestwich.”

“The service from jess at the front of the house and james in the kitchen was excellent. The beers were refreshing, and the food was exceptional. My steak was one of the best I've tasted, the highlight of my visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting.”

“Great ethos, great atmosphere, great beer, great people, and you can't help meeting them.”

“Nice pub, friendly staff, good selection of different ales every week. Best microbrewery in stalybridge!!! Highly recomended must visit!!”

“Decent beer. Cracking 3Swords despite being the first one off. The staff and customers are cool. Friendly environment.”

“I always make an effort to visit here, it’s my favourite pub and well worth the 45 minute train journey! Nice staff and they always have decent beers on tap which are always changing and have a lot of bottles to choose from as well. There are board games and snacks too for those who fancy that.”

“A gem, truly. Both bar and shop are tremendous, offering a range of brilliant beers and superb wines at range of prices. Well priced, interesting draft beer as well as being a pleasant place to pass time. What's not to like.”

“Just like "Cheers" the series only 100%better. Amazing atmosphere. Fantastic hosts. Great bar staff. Great people. Always offers on. The gin bar is outrageous ! . A place , that when you go. You'll keep going back ! Got to be the number 1 place in middleton.”

“Great music (classic rock) and lovely bar staff. Good beer selection with 3 cask, a ton of keg including cider and usually a fruity sour too. Memorabilia on the wall. Sundays are £3/pint of cask.”

“Amazing pub. Great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff. The Landlord and Landlady can't do enough for their regulars and new patrons alike. Can't recommend enough!!!”
