The Society Rooms (JD Wetherspoon), Stalybridge

The Society Rooms is smaller than many JDWs with the bar on the right and a patio / garden at the rear. It was fairly quiet on my early Saturday evening visit. The ten hand pumps had three Available Soon, two GK beers, four festival beers and Oakham Green Devil IPA. I went for the Adnam's Sloe Porter and the Green Devil IPA both at the festival price of £2.45 and in great condition. It thought this was a good Spoons.

This is a standard Wetherspoons food/drink space. All very average

Standard Wetherspoons fare.

A fairly standard JDW with regards to the decor. A two level pub converted from a Co-op, hence the name. Good service at the bar and a good range of guest ales on the 10 handpumps made this pub stand out a bit from the JDW norm. Both pints I had were in good nick as well. Pretty busy at 6 on a Friday with a very friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit when in Stalybridge.

Called in today 22nd of october 10 am not a customer in yes no one at all had a coffee red my paper left at 11 am i was the only customer in,

There was no customary wait to be served here, which seems to be the norm for most wetherspoons pubs.They had 8 real ales on of which i imbibed in a couple of excellent pints of Exmoor Beast, which was a full bodied dark Porter (6.6 abv). Found it ok in here and thought the furnishings were an improvement on a quite a number of 'Spoons' outlets i had visited.
