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.

I didn't get to try the food or even see the menu but there's an impressive looking kitchen so hope to return for that at some point (actually have now found menu online and as well as a grill they have a big sushi menu!!) Drinks wise, they had Antica Formula vermouth! The bartender had NO IDEA what it was or how to serve it but we quickly got the ice/lemon/appropriate glass sorted and although it might seem expensive at £4.50 for 50ml it's a good alternative to wine for an aperitif. Prosecco was £22 a bottle which wasn't bad either. I thought the ale selection was a little limited although and I couldn't work out what the microbrewery aspect was (curiously they only seem to have a wine menu even though they have an extensive amount of fancy sprits which you can't see properly). As the evening (Saturday) wore on it became increasingly busy and uncomfortable to sit at the bar with people bashing past you to get their order - they probably need to move some of those chairs on busy nights (/you might want to try another option - amazingly the market was actually quieter by that point!).

Standard tiki decor but a lot less packed than the ones in town. I had a chocolate raspberry martini. Usually when you get drinks that are a combination of chocolate and alcohol, there is more chocolate than alcohol , eg a Baileys hot chocolate. Don't get me wrong, I like, nay love, that but it was nice to have the balance the other way round. My friend said it looked like chocolate soup. I put up a pic so you can make your own mind up. Whatever it looked like, it was a very very nice drink and I could happily drink these all the time. At £7 it was town prices but it was worth it. My friends had other cocktails which they loved. Maybe next time I will try something different. Definitely worth a visit when in Altrincham.

The bar is tiny too, but the staff are always working hard with a smile. Draught beers include Peroni, Cruzcampo and Becks Vier and they have a great wine and spirit list.

However I don't think it would take long to become more familiar. In the summer I happened upon an amazing open air gig in the garden, lots of classic American and British rock songs and a great atmosphere as the sun went down. It was totally unexpected!

The exterior and some of the interior is a little faded and shabby, but that could be said to add to its olde worlde charm (if we are kind, and the staff were so friendly that I'm feeling kind). I had a splendid English breakfast, which they serve all day. The Full Monty: 2 eggs, bacon, 2 Cumberland sausages, 2 big slices of black pudding (prize Bury black pudding!), mushrooms, stewed tomatoes, and baked beans, with a side of toast. The perfect meal to help you recover from the hangover from drinking all their real ales. It was delicious and very filling. (Unfortunately my phone died just as I was about to snap a shot of this formidable meal.) It's a big space with darts and a pool table. Plus they have live music, usually blues or rock, on Friday and Saturday night, starting around 9. Back in the day, I went to some rollicking gigs here and I'm glad to see they're still going strong. You have to cross the busy Chester road to get here from the center of Altrincham, but it's well worth a visit for real ale in a traditional pub.

Their staff are a credit to them, welcoming and enthusiastic (but not overly so). It was a great touch that they were all decked out in clothing of the period, all braces and flat caps - reminded me of characters from Bugsy Malone. Their extensive cocktail menu has something for everyone* and reading through the list will no doubt leave you perplexed about what to order first. It was an exciting initial visit - we hadn't finished our first drink before deciding we'd come back asap. * of legal age to drink! Speaking of drinks, the staff made some recommendations and kindly offered to bring them over to where we we seating (we'd nabbed a table tucked away in what I'd describe as a snug). After only a few minutes our drinks arrived and they looked great, the glasses looked the business and what was inside them really gorgeous. I first had a South Side (reportedly Al Capone's drink of choice) and it was refreshing. Next I tried their Old Fashioned - I'm trying to get a taste for whisky - and it was a tasty, slow drink. Perfect. As I've written, we'll be definitely going back here and trying out more of their drinks. The service and attention to detail are of the highest order, even for a bar that was very busy.
