The Armoury, Stockport

A pleasant 2 roomed corner pub by Edgeley Park footy ground. 4 cask ales on. 3 from Robinson's plus 1 guest.

A pleasingly traditional Robinsons pub, with a compact 'L'-shaped lounge and separate vaults (public bar). Comfortable furniture, especially the low curved booths. Unicorn, Hatters and Dizzy Blonde (£2.44) available from the five handpumps. Overall, worth stopping off if in the area.

This is a traditional community focussed pub situated close to the Edgeley exit from Stockport station across the nearby roundabout. It retains the lounge and vault format, plus there is a separate small room, known as the County Room to the rear of the vault. The entrance lobby has some possibly original stained glass, with a Bell's Brewery logo. There is a covered outdoor area to the rear. The pub is big on darts with a board and trophy case in the lounge, a further board in a cabinet in The County Room, plus the upstairs function room hosts regional finals. The lounge is a comfortable carpeted room with regimental badges and a board of honour to The Cheshire Regiment on the chimney breast above the copper fronted fireplace. Further decor consists of Guinness and Southern Comfort mirrors and there is faux timber framing set into the white walls. Seating is traditional with curved banquettes and small stools. The TV high in the corner was showing the football. Beers are from Robinsons, Unicorn Bitter (£2.44), Hatters Mild, Dizzy Blonde and seasonal Mr Scrooge, the last two being double clipped in the lounge. The pub is very clean and tidy, well appointed and friendly, well worth a visit.
