Steve C left this review about The Q Inn
In the shadow of the railway passing above and just a door along from the pub with the longest name in the UK is the Q Inn. This pub was awarded the title of shortest name by the Guinness Book of Records back in 1995. I suppose this is true if you omit the ‘Inn’, although is this not part of the pub’s name? All a bit dubious if you ask me.
Anyway, this Hydes pub actually looks quite inviting from the outside, or maybe I just have a thing for leaded windows and fairy lights. The exposed brick interior has a bar counter with a stained glass top-bar across the rear wall that faces a supporting wall that separates standard tables and chairs in the right from high tables and a dartboard in the left. Sky and TNT Sports are shown with Cricket being on during my recent Tuesday evening visit. The service from the young barmaid was very polite, and the Lowry was well served. Three more hand pumps were also drawing Hydes beers and the keg options were Carling, premium and some craft. This pub has stiff competition with the Station Buffet Bar just the other side of the railway bridge, but it’s certainly better than its longest name counterpart.

Hydes Brwery's other Stalybridge pub consists of an open room that was packed on my Saturday evening visit. It does have a nice garden with a verandah and a shelter.
The only beers I could see from the four hand pumps were Hydes and one called Open Casket (£2.85) which turned out to be from Brains and was in good nick.
I can't say I took to this pub but it's probably better at a quieter time.

Its a nice, if dark, pub next to the station. Went during the afternoon and not many in. The sound of trains rumbling past can be heard.
