Ye Olde Vic, Stockport

We went in this pub on a trip with Nottingham Camra and the people running this pub laid a good spread on for us i had a drink of Brains SB there was also Brains Dark,Brakspears Bitter and Bullions Bitter. Pub visited 19 March 1988.

Quirky pub with ‘crap & tat’ theme to the décor that included a string of onions, an old gas mask, a number of captain’s hats and an October 2008 calendar. The place has a friendly feel and we got a warm welcome, including from the pub dog who never strayed too far from the roaring log fire. Handy as a last stopping off point if you are going to the train station.

Wonderful local pub with constantly rotating choice of 4 or 5 ales always in superb condition. Friendly welcome from owners, staff, & pub dog Molly. A folk jam was in session when I was last there on Wednesday & I believe the same dozen, or so, meet twice a month. Sorry I didn't note the beers but they're always good, Millstone (mmm) is a fairly regular brewery here. Mind your language - the pub has a no swearing policy, and that's no bad thing. The rather ramshackle exterior has been smartened up a little but inside is as eclectic as ever, with various memorabilia, old pumpclips, and a welcoming wood stove in winter. Beware opening hours - evenings only, from 5pm weekdays and 7pm weekends.
