OMG!! If you love real ale and quality cider and I'm talking pulled by hand from a cask, not pumped under pressure out of a steel barrel, then THIS is the place for you!! The landlord here is a guy who know's his stuff and know's his beers and know's how to keep a good pint! No taste of detergent left in the pumps at this establishment!!
This guy actually retired once and handed the reigns of his previous pub over to his daughter, but he got so bored sat at home, he bought this place; that had previously been a hair salon and turned it into a high street micro-pub, with an enormous beer garden at the rear.
There are a great selection of real ales (pales, blondes, porters, etc.) plus cider all cask and all for a limited time only, from breweries like, Abbeydale Brewery, Northern Monkey Brew Co., Sandstone Brewery and Small World Beers, to name but a few.
A board in the main bar, tells you what's available now and what is coming in the next month.
The bar also has a good selection of wines, spirits and other drinks, as well as snacks.
I was there with my wife, sister and brother in law and must admit to enjoying a trio of the The Kirby Lonsdale Brewing Co "Monumental" - a particular favourite of mine and an absolute joy to find being served in a micro-pub in Atherton, of all places, on such a pleasant and sunny day in June.
If you're passing and you know beer, call in - you won't be disappointed!!

A huge level up since my last visit.
Superb decor and excellent outside seating. Not to mention the fabulous array of real ales. A must visit

Best place hands down in Atherton for beer, great atmosphere friendly folk. Good prices.

Being honest I preferred the interior before but that's just my opinion and it's there buissness .. most chairs are uncomfortable they lost the electronic beer monitor which was handy when it was busy and the music needs to be thought out a bit it's not a rock club ( iron maiden ? ) just seemed a little more inviting and made you want to stay longer before ..on the plus side great beer kept beautifully nice beer garden in the good weather and the staff are great and very chatty / freindly ..dog freindly as well our dalmatian loves it here ..a must visit on a night out in Atherton ..

Great little bar with some quirky additions and a great beer garden/outdoor drinking area. Dropped in here with a few buddies for a drink and had a great visit! You pass the "cellar" enroute to the beer garden, all the barrels on a rack which isn't something you see in every pub. Fantastic range of ales, beers and lagers! Definitely recommend! No food rating as we didn't eat but still a great place!
