Unfortunately none of their own brews were available but we got 2 stouts and both were good (my Torrside one we slightly preferred), although a little cold.

It's basically like a ginger beer biscuit. Tried it in Buxton ages ago but have not sourced since. Although now occurs to me that as it's a Robinsons beer it's probably at all the Robinsons along the A6 aka where I live. 3) Toilets very small, difficult to manoeuvre but hey you make some new friends in awkward circumstances 4) Great to visit post Stockport Foodie Friday

A very welcome addition to the Stockport scene and somewhere to definitely start the night on the way to the Magnet or maybe on the way back, the vibe is laid back and modern looking while still giving a nod to the old architectural style of this classic building. It was a smart decision to do something new with this place and on this Thursday evening it was fairly busy with beer loving punters. On tap there were 5 Robbies classics (we tried the Citra - ok but not quite enough citra in it for my liking and compared with the likes of Oakham ales same type) and there's 5 guest beers on tap from exciting craft beer breweries. Sandwiched in between there's still room for all the usual lagers and they have Brooklyn and Blue Moon on tap. Prices are fairly decent really (compared to Manchester city centre) and its refreshing to see the pricing reflected in the strength of the ale and fairly transparent in what you're actually paying when ordering a beer. We were drinking the Great Heck hoppy wheat beer mainly - if you see it on tap somewhere then make sure you get yourself onto it, so so good! Their food menu is all about the dogs - but as opposed to hard skinned fakey American ones, these are all about proper British butchers ones which fit in well with a giant roll and some crazy toppings - I went for the classic one which was good enough for me (£6 with pickles, tasty onions etc) although you could have everything from blue cheese to meatball toppings (time to get a bit more adventurous next time I think!) Nice job Bakers - looking forward to getting back here very soon! Wifi password is: aabbcc33ee

And again that's how I ended up at the Railway after our Elite Yelper Katharine S and her husband Adam said we must check it out on our recent craft beer club trip to Stockport. Like most decent pubs in Stockport - 'The Railway' is definitely worth going 5 mins out of the main drag to and the clientele is made up of regulars who seemed pretty chilled at having us newbies in and taking advantage of the super low prices for some fantastic beers. Of the beers they've a fantastic selection of German lagers, Bury based Outstanding beers and I was so impressed to see that Thornbridge's Jaipur was on offer for £3.20 - wow, that's £2 a pint cheaper than Chorlton!! Ok so this place isn't going to win any interior design competitions anytime soon but that isn't the point - this is a fantastic pub and a great place to hang out in.

The pub itself is getting a bit of a make over so it will hopefully be smarter soon at the moment it could do with a little work. The beer is very good value.

The landlady Sue has a no swearing rule which I find make me feel very welcome and this in one of the few pubs I feel happy having a drink myself.

Situated just across the road from Mersey square and tucked in behind one of the main railway arches, it's a hidden gem that is perfect for starting the night before heading up to the Magnet and Hope on the A6. Lots of quaint little rooms with plenty of seating for large groups, the atmosphere is relaxed and unthreatening with a classic decor throughout. I didn't make it in to it but my friends I was meeting were in the beer garden out back beforehand which is a nice additional touch. The beers are all from decent UK and fairly local breweries with around 12 on tap and a couple of ciders. Prices are super low and the beer is excellent - what's not to like!

And because it's a Sam Smith's pub, all the booze is cheap! However, this place isn't quite like Sinclair's Oyster Bar in Manchester city centre. Even though it's in central Stockport, it feels very much like a local's pub. Don't get me wrong, everyone is really nice; we got served quickly and were made to feel very welcome. But you couldn't help but feel a bit like a gatecrasher! It's very much a traditional pub, too. So there's an older crowd and you might get a few bemused looks if you're under 30!

Came here with a big group and had no problem finding seats and the staff were only too happy to help! Ordered nachos with chilli to share which is a whopping £8 I think it was as its £6 for just plan nachos.. bit much if you ask me! They do have calamari but its old style onion ring type affair- clearly from frozen but at at least they're trying! Would come here again, big beer garden and patio heaters at the front- great in summer I would imagine.

I think that's a pretty fair description. I've only visited a couple of times, but have found it to be extremely relaxing pub to grab a beer and scan one of the interesting books they have available. The last one I read was about the P&O company and their trading in India.

Fairly generic selection of bitters and lagers on tap, they did seem to have a few speciality Robbies beers and pump clips at the back but they had no description on them and I couldn't tell if they were for sale or just promotional material. A fairly towny atmosphere with lots of peeps in here after work on a Friday, not greatly my scene but alright just to grab a swifty on the way to somewhere else.
