A fairly standard, unmodernised Robinsons pub. Bar to the left as you enter. Darts and 2 pool tables are available. 3 of the 4 handpumps were on. I had a pint of Dizzy which was OK, but not great. Friendly enough, but I can't see us visiting again. We'll leave this one to the locals.

The Nags Head has a small U-shaped bar counter against the rear wall that supports standard keg, Birra Moretti and four hand pumps. This is a Robinson’s pub so the three pumps in operation were drawing Dizzy Blonde, Trooper and Unicorn. There are two pool tables and the dartboard at the rear was hosting Monday night darts league. The televisions throughout were all showing muted football whilst some background music played off the jukebox. There was a decent atmosphere, but it would have been dead if the darts team was playing away.

Robbie's pub by the station. The inside is fairly tidy, two tone green and red carpet with a traditional dark wood bar. Let down by being gloomy, half the pub was in darkness on a grey wet day, who the chuff would want to be here and pay pub prices? Turns out me, a stereotype Northerner and an animated guy who sounded Swedish. Three cask, my Dizzy Blonde was a bit flat but ostensibly fine (NBSS 2.5). If they can’t afford / be arsed to switch the lights on, they’ll be out soon enough. Shame, as the fabric of a good pub is in place. 5.5

Made famous by The Macc Lads seminal song " Charlotte",this was a major surprise.It's a fine looking red brick building,which Robinsons have cared for and there is much to admire inside.Carpeted with fitted bench seating either side of the mosaic tiled entrance,the wood panelled bar is attractive and three sided ,with the back lounge having a stage for the regular live acts ,including the Manc Lads tribute band.There is a fine staircase,a seperate pool and darts section and very attractive porcelain gents with photos of classic motorbikes,a theme in the rest of the pub.The ceiling mouldings are attractive and it certainly feels smart for a live music pub.
There are 4 handpumps offering Robinsons Trooper,Cambrian Way and Unicorn in decent nick.
Sadly the biggest slag in Macc was nowhere to be seen on my Wednesday afternoon visit,and I can only imagine a more earthy atmosphere would appear on Saturday music nights.
Worth a look around if crawling the real ale outlets.

This is a typical old Northern pub. It has a mix of tiles and carpets, a pool table, darts, a jukebox and a large TV screen (thankfully turned off). The jukebox was rather loud which was a bit off putting until someone put a load of Oasis tracks on.
There are four hand pumps which had four from Robinson's, namely Unicorn, Dizzy Blonde, Kerpow and Trooper Red 'N' Black. I went for the Unicorn which was in good nick.
This is primarily a local's pub but well worth a look.

Great pub with good beers. Live bands at least 2 nights per week, mainly rock music. Check out the victorian style toilets, fantastic!

The Nags Head is a large multi roomed pub that is very close to the train station.
This pub is a Robinsons tied house i went in the bar which was a decent room,there were two real ales on here i had a drink of Robinsons bitter and this was very nice the other beer was Robinsons mild.
I quite liked this pub.
