ROB Camra left this review about The Swinton Hop House

Previously the House of Hops this is a very neat micropub just off the main road through Swinton. A small serving counter has three handpums whilst a number of keg taps are on the wall. Loads of bottles and cans in the fridges.I bought a pint and started chatting to the friendly owner behind the bar. A few minutes later a very friendly local joined us and we had a long meandering chat about beer and the places we'd worked. Somewhere along the way I had another (different) pint and the barman broke open a packet of scratchings that we all shared. As time was rolling on and I had a train to catch I just had a half of the third beer which was Marble Manchester Bitter. This was very well kept and is one of my favourite beers. But I thought it was third of the three beers I tried. So excellent beers, friendy onwer and local, what's not to like? Scores a very rare 10. I'll call back soon to confirm how good it is.

Strongers . left this review about House Of Hops

The House of Hops is a small micropub with a bar counter in the left rear corner that faces four tables. There are ten craft keg products on the back bar. More seating can be found at the rear, but I didn’t investigate. There was some background music playing during my recent late midweek afternoon visit, sounded like a local band. The service was very friendly and I enjoyed my half, but be aware that this place doesn’t open for long with the doors opening in the afternoon before closing early evening.
