What I like best about Liverpool star Jamie Carragher's business venture is the addition England to…read morethe title of this very run of the mill sports bar. I'm not sure what I am expecting from a sports bar except a good selection of screens but maybe I yearn to find somewhere that lives up to the standards set by Cheers? At Cafe Sports, however, nobody will know your name. It's possible that Mr Carragher would think that a wet mid-week afternoon was not the best time for me to get a good flavour of the place but I have seen this place on a Saturday night and I'm not sure that's a side of the establishment that I want to reflect! It's just bland, Sky Sports News on every screen just strikes me as a bit desperate - we need sport, any sport, even hockey news! - To be fair to the place, it does what it says on the tin and I'm sure Cafe Sports will be a good venue for the World Cup but as somewhere I have visited outside of a notable sporting event it doesn't really have much else to offer.

Considering the fact that this is a Sports Café you'd expect wings, nachos, burgers, wedges, all…read morethe stuff you'd imagine munching on when you're watching a good game. However what's unusual about this place is that you can get proper traditional Brit main meals here. I should have noted the England in the title, huh. Guess it's less an American Sports Bar, more a pub spliced with one. Neat! The homemade scouse takes pride of place on the menu but you can also find fish and chips, bangers and mash, cottage pie, even a chip butty or a gargantuan Yorkshire pud filled with roast beef and spuds, gravy and veg. Believe me, come here when you're ravenous because otherwise you'll be so packed full you'll want to fall bobos. You can even get breakfast here if you pop in during the morning, and it's not all fried eggs and sausages and ketchup, there's fresh fruit salad and a super muesli packed with all sorts of goodies too, so even the health conscious can enjoy a bit of sporty action in the AM. Smoothies are available all day and are deliciously tangy and pulpy. Puddings are classics like fudge cake, carrot cake, banana split and sticky toffee pudding and come highly recommended along with their sorbets and yoghurts. The place is packed full of lots of tasteful sports memorabilia and there's a plethora of TV screens so no one misses out on the nice sporting view which is rather excellent. Seriously, if you need a treat I'd say it's one of the best places to watch a game and chow down on some stodge or get a smoothie and superfood fix. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm not even that into sports.

Kind people. Cozy environment. Cold beer. No complaints here. Enjoyed our time and would visit…read moreagain when back in Merseyside.

Being good at pool/snooker is said to be testimony to a misspent youth. Clearly I'm an angel, if my…read morehit-and-miss form is anything to go by. But where better to seven-ball your brother, or completely miscue and hit the white off the table towards your fourth pint, than Rileys. I could easily spend a weekend here, shooting pool and sinking beer, if my puny bank balance would allow. There's an array of pool tables, and a few snooker tables for the hardcore, to choose from, US and English. The cues are a better standard than you'll find in any pub, and the baize, while not Crucible standard, is usually in pretty good nick too. It almost invariably proves cheaper than playing anywhere else, unless you're with someone extremely slow, as you can play for an hour for just over £6. Riley's often has offers on too, so you can get 3 hours for the price of 2. Even though I'm a bit of a chubber there's normally adequate room for queuing, but if it's particularly busy and the balls dictate you sometimes have to wait for a second to allow someone else to take a shot. TV's showing the latest sports results/matches are a bonus.

It's true that this place is an all-rounder and probably one of the most popular drinking dens in…read moreAltrincham. Owned by both Landlady and Landlord, they do their best to make you feel welcome. There's often a strange mix of clientele, from the very young to the very old, but everyone appears to be having a grand old time all the same. For sports lovers, there's the informal sports bar upstairs with screens, but be sure to get there early to nab a leather sofa. The Orange Tree has a great selection of draught beers as well as real ales, and the food hearty and includes a very pocket-friendly daily special including pie day, fish and chip day and steak day, all under £5!

It's one of those pubs that has obviously been lovingly cared and built on for a number of years. The food is good old fashioned pub grub like home made steak and ale pie, rump steaks, baguettes and a good selection of salads. They even have a resident ghost! who has been the subject of interest for ghost hunters, regulars and visitors alike..... Apparently he is a monk who likes chanting! They have a small beer garden to the rear, there is also seating out the front facing out onto Altrincham old market square, most of the buildings here are some of the oldest in the town. There is also a sports bar inside where they show all sports .. you name it, they probably will air it. A peaceful, privately owned and traditional pub!

Friday Night is their busiest night (Usually a full house & is the Busiest Bar in Cannock!) with Chart & Party Music in the Sports Bar area, plus a 70's & 80's Disco on the 1st Floor VIP Lounge every Friday & Saturday. They have an extensive menu and over 50 HD & 3D screens showing the sport every day whatever the time with a 24 hour license (we've sometimes been in there until 7am watching the live boxing or the rugby) All in all An awesome stylish Sports Bar & Grill, with great late night DJ entertainment. Our Favourite Bar in the Midlands and must be one of the best Sports Bars in the Country!

Nice but can get really really packed on a weekend evening…read more It's quite large though, and the VIP upstairs area is quite nice nice if you have an event of occasion. The alcohol isnt particualry expensive, its probably about average, and the music tends to be the latest chart toppers and the like. The smoking area is really REALLY small however, not enough room to swing a cat really and this can be a problem when the place is packed.

But I was very happy with how unsweet it was (that's a compliment ) Ice cream tasted much better than your average store variety It would've held its own as a scoop in a cup. The young staff was fairly inexperienced and Service it seemed They were working hard and were pleasant and how they like refinement I love the atmosphere and the energy that they brought This is a great place to bring a date or a lover for a weekend

This is a strange king of place, there was nothing wrong with it per se, I just didn't love it…read more We rocked up here for a late lunch having spent the morning exploring the museums and galleries in Salford Quays. We decided to sit outside as the sun was shining and pushed a couple of tables together to seat all six of us. Unfortunately, there were dirty plates and glasses left on the table and we eventually had to ask for these to be removed as none of the staff seemed keen to do this. You order your food at the bar. The inside of Lime is a massive void of a place decorated in brass with illuminous lighting. Not particularly pleasing to the eye and certainly more suited to the evening crowd. The menu is quite eclectic and has something to suit pretty much everyone. I went for the homemade burger. The food came pretty quickly. The burger was ok, the meat was decent but under seasoned and unfortunately the garnish made the bun soggy and it disintegrated in my hands before I got to the end. The chips were chunky but a little soggy and sadly there was approximately six of them - I have a hangover, I need more carbs! Other dishes including the club sandwich, sea bass and steak sandwich were well received but the noodles were missing from the oriental platter. However, this was quickly resolved by the wait staff. Overall, Lime is probably a better option than the standard chain restaurants that otherwise fill Salford Quays, it just seems to lack a certain je ne sais quoi.
