This pub is located just under the railway bridge to the right, at the start of the road that leads…read moreover to Saddleworth Moor. It has a very warm/homely feel to it, and you will receive a good welome from the staff. It has to be recommended for its range of 'real ales', at reasonable prices. The theme is fairly old, but it definately has a comfortable feel to it. The toilet facilities are spotless & you are supplied with clean towels, soap & hot water! The music taste would suit the more mature person, but it is played as background music, so it is bearable. The pub does have a downside to it, in that it doesnt serve food, but crisps, nuts etc - can be purchased to fill a small gap. The landlord is very knowledable & his son is also, well aquainted with the business.

While this beer is the same price as other pubs there are so many other drinks in here that are far cheaper. There is also a happy hour for certain gins and whiskeys etc.

The beach is quite ironically named, considering it is located no where near a beach, and infact is…read morelocated right next to a lake. In Rochdale. When I think of beaches, I think of places relaxing, and like a holiday, which is another reason for the ironic name of the Beach. On my recent visit, I was appalled at how it has changed from a nice pub to a nightmare, the floors were dirty and it seemed to me like a little unkept, horrible pub, it was very noisy, with a children's play area, with shouting and screaming, and kids misbehaving. The staff didn't seem too great, and seemed to be overworked, such as giving me a menu and handing the guy next to me a pint, seemed too much for him. They is also long waits for tables, and it simply isn't a nice, well kept place, with it being very cramped at some areas, and simply not very nice. The menu does have gluten free labeling, which along with how The Beach was like in the past, is another reason why I want to like this place, but simply can't. To go alongside the horrible ambience, poor service and it being very noisy (they is a line behind borderline mayhem and a family pub), you also have to pay £2 to park here, which is very expensive and I'm sure you don't get it back for visiting the restaurant, meanwhile a council car park, just meters away charge 90p. The car park does also seem a little small, and mostly full and is probably used for visitors for the lake, and the other restaurants opposite it, but simply they is no offer to reimburse customers, which to go alongside how the pub is like and has gone hill, it is like they simply don't care. I walked out as it was simply a disgrace, and it really does disappoint me how this place has dramatically turned for the worse.

This is a true 'local pub', - frequented by local folk…read more It has a really down-to-earth, friendly atmosphere & everyone, from all walks of life, will receive a warm welcome :o) They have just extended, to make a decking area at the back of the pub, so you can go & smoke in a comfortable spot, if you have the need. Prices are very reasonable & you can easily drink away to your heart's content - without blowing a major hole in your pocket. Food is served: Fridays - Sundays, between 5pm & 8pm. The menu isnt huge, but you will find a range of snacks & main meals - the chips are home-made & a real favourite of mine. On Sunday's - its 'Karaoke Night' - & you can have a go, if you like - without feeling intimidated :o) Kids are welcome, upto a certain time. They also, have a pool table, music box & a regular local DJ. And, from time to time, you can also listen to live artists.

This pub has a very young clientiele - and I wouldnt be surprized if many of its punters are under age! At the week-ends, it can get very rowdy and over-crowded, with music blaring out. The drinks range is satisfatory and prices ok. I wouldnt recommend going here for something to eat. The food quality and presentation is very poor, to say the least. Toilet facilities leave alot to be desired - they could do with a total re-vamp, in fact the whole place could do with it, quite frankly. There is definately a problem with 'your shoes sticking to the carpet' syndrome and the smell of the place is not too pleasant either. There is space at the back for people to congregate and smoke - again it can get quite noisy and packed. All in all, I would not really recommend anyone going to this establishment.

Complained to the bar person only to be told it was out of an unchilled can !!! Asked to have it changed for a pint of draught cider and was then asked to pay again. Asked to speak to the manager who was completely unsympathetic and was physically ejected by their doorman. In my 58 years of life have never ever been asked to leave a pub for any reason. If this had been a high street store it would have closed down with such an attitude problem. Avoid at all cost

The carbonara was delicious but there was small deposit of oil left in at bottom of the plate, I'm sure it was Italian olive oil which is good for you so I'm fine with that. For dessert I had the chocolate sundae, which again, was lovely. Plentiful supply of chocolate brownie along with vanilla ice cream, smothered in chocolate sauce, topped with a biscuit and marshmallow. All in all, great little place, will definitely visit again!
