Finally! There is somewhere for craft ale in Eccles! Great selection every week on draft and nearly always different. Lots of bottles too. A great place to sample beer from small local brewers, we have discovered a few new favourites. The owner is really friendly too all round great place. Definitely worth a visit

Exceptional venue! The selection of beer is brilliant (unless you drink p*ss like Carling), and Dave is a bloody lovely bloke. Gave up dairy farming after and accident and threw himself into hops and barley, and I, for one, am glad!

Friendly, helpful staff.Bar serves a great range of beer on tap. There are a wide range of cans available in the fridges. A very chilled, & friendly atmosphere to spend some time over a decent drink.

Amazing selection of craft beers in the fridge, plus six on tap. Beers from the fridge can be drank in or taken away. Wine, cider, vodka, gin and soft drinks available too. Fantastic atmosphere in the evenings and weekends. Family friendly …

Absolutely adore this place and worth driving 100 miles back to my home town for (my brother thinks it's for him )! Served beers are well kept, interesting and often too strong to sell you a pint of and the selection of canned and bottled ales is superb and worth a look (they stock my favourite Northern Monk stout and Tiny Rebel ale so I'm happy). Owners are friendly, there are board games and no beer snobs. What's not to like? Are you there yet?

Once you've visited you'll wonder why you ever drank anywhere else. The best craft beer for miles around ever changing 6 keg line up, more bottles and cans than you'll be able to try (believe me Ive tried) and if that's not enough a few special spirts, cider and wine. Great atmosphere, owners and locals. The full package! Can't go wrong!

Best pub in Eccles! Really nice choice of beers and a really friendly and chatty dude behind the bar. Been here a few times and all the people in there seem chill and happy too giving off good vibes. Don't go here if you want a cheap pint of crap larger! Also right next to the train station so pop in for a quick one!
