Strongers . left this review about Brownhill Hotel
The Brownhill Hotel is located just North of Rochdale town centre, through a housing estate. This pub, with large picnic lined grass covered beer garden at the rear, is one of the many Samuel Smiths in the area. The central bar on the rear wall is flanked by seating to the left and a room with seating, pool table and dartboard to the right. I paid my £1 for half an OBB, only available on keg, and hid in the pool room. I started writing some notes on my phone, but the eagle-eyed governor spotted me and apologetically asked me to put the phone away due to SS communication device rules. He explained the Mr Smith was on his rounds and I had just missed him. This explains the jitters! To be fair the governor was very friendly, and I would have no problem returning here for another quiet beer.

Large Sam Smiths pub with the almost obligatory white painted exterior. As you walk in you enter a small lounge with the bar facing you. To the left is a larger lounge area and to the right is a big tap room with pool table and dartboard. Very competitive pricing even for Sam’s with the bitter even being a penny or two cheaper than the nearby Rifleman’s. Sadly it’s all keg, but it is a decent pub to call in for one.
