They sell a wide range of quality wines which are available by the case or bottle (to take away) or glass or bottle to enjoy a drink or two whilst feasting on a pizza from Honest Crust or one of The Wolfhouse Kitchen's tasty dishes on shared refectory style tables. As at their main shop, they are more than happy to advise if you're looking for something in particular (or don't really know what you'd like). There's also an ever-changing stock of spirits available so ask the staff to let you know what's on offer. Tip: On weekends Market House is exceptionally busy - dogs, kids, Cheshire Housewives, the lot - so don't be expecting a peaceful respite from the bustling market.

With several handpumps and eight keg dispensers, JITB serve up a very decent selection of craft beers and always include a small number from Blackjack (as this is their first Brewery Tap). Expect the likes of Burning Sky, Marble, Runaway, Siren and Weird Beard alongside a growing range of other bottled and canned beers. If you're unable to get a table to sit at, there are a couple of large barrels to rest your beer on and keep your eyes peeled for people leaving! They've grown from strength to strength since the food hall relaunched in autumn 2014 and have just picked up Trafford and Hulme CAMRA's pub of the season and newcomer of the year award (which is proudly displayed behind the bar). Really well deserved.

A newish craft beer and wine bar on the main road through Altrincham; it opened at the end of 2015…read more The ground floor layout is pretty long and thin, with booth seating by the bar and normal tables further back. A good sized bar with friendly staff working behind it. On the upper floor there's more seating space and the toilets, but there wasn't a soul sat up there on a Saturday night. They've six hand pumps with ever changing ales and it was great to see that they had Fubar by Tiny Rebel Brewing and Neck Oil by Beavertown on draft. Paired with Cheshire Tap across the road and down a bit, it's made Alty that bit more of a decent real ale destination, especially given how close they are to the train station and Metrolink. It was good to pop in for a couple, but I probably wouldn't spend a whole evening here if I'm honest.

Comfy seating, hooks for coats (perfect to hang our soaking wet coats on!) and lovely and warm in the bad weather. Loved the decor too.

Friendly bar staff and they also have regular acoustic nights. Will definitely be back.
