Cock & Magpie, Rochdale

A good looking, stone built, back street pub. Two separate rooms, the right hand one is the lounge which is pleasantly decorated, but was full of screeching, feral brats on my Friday evening visit. The left hand room is a proper tap room with a giant TV, pool table, dartboard and jukebox. The walls are covered in sporting memorabilia. 3 handpumps on the bar, but only Robinsons Dizzy Blonde actually on. The chatty, attractive barmaid told me that they also buy a single 9g cask of Robby's seasonal each month and when it's gone it's gone, so you might get lucky. With the beer I mean, not the barmaid. It's a decent enough local.
