Still as described in the previous review - a mixture of pub, museum and junk shop - but definitely a good and friendly pub atmosphere though. I was pleased to find all three handpumps in use, with Weetwoods Cheshire Cat, Holts Two Hoots and Robinsons Unicorn on. Worth dropping in.

I couldn't recall seeing this pub on previous visits to Stockport, and it seems that despite its appearance of a traditional pub building it is in fact a relatively recent conversion from other use. For me, it was an unexpected Aladdion's cave of old furniture, mirrors, clocks, radios and ancient TV sets. Different parts of the space have been given identities by the floor coverings and vintage furniture. I'm sure I remember some of the chairs and radio sets from my childhood - amazing stuff. On the bar are three hand pumps, with just one beer on - Weetwood Cheshire Cat - in good condition. One of the owners, dressed in T-shirt and shorts, remarked to me how cold it was, to which I responded that he should try putting some clothes on. He came back, it was his day for cellar work, including cleaning the pipes - which I suppose would warm him up. I liked it here, and came back again next time I had a change of trains in Stockport. The same beer was on - it's clearly a regular, though WhatPub says Wainwright - but this time with another on in support, which I failed to make a note of (not Wainwright though). One to bear in mind if having half an hour to spare at Stockport station.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Wellington
Proper town-centre boozer, in a good way, with plenty of custom on a Friday evening - loud but generally good natured. The L-shaped interior (with exposed brickwork and plenty of mirrors) has been thoroughly modernised but still retains a semi-traditional feel. I found two of the three handpumps in use, offering Two Hoots from Holts and Weetwood's Cheshire Cat (£3.50).

This is a relatively new pub, converted from two shops. Inside it's made to look old, even though it's new and has two levels. The lower level has lots of comfy seating. The upper level has a couple of high tables and several round ones of varying sizes. There are loads of old radios scattered around the place. The roaring fire was welcome on a freezing cold Friday. 3 handpumps on the bar with a pretty pedestrian range, but my pint of Weetwood Cheshire Cat was in good nick. I'll bring Ms CAMRA in here next time we're in Stockport. Has a Motown & soul DJ on Friday nights and live music on Saturdays.

It's a pity we didn't take a picture when visiting this pub, but it was a bad night with wind and lashing rain. I heard on the grapevine that this pub had recently been refurbished and the new owner had spent a lot of money on it. It certainly looked the part and we found the interior to be very stylish and that included the barmaid, who was well dressed, along with her black top hat with feathers sticking out the side. The interior consisted of a floor boarded main room with the bar situated on the right hand side. A further area known as The Snubbery was accessible down a couple of steps from the main room. Interesting features included a feature wall with lots of different shaped wall clocks and the bar stools, which were finished in a dark blue material and button backed.
Three ales on handpump, which were Mansfield English Pride, Weetwood Cheshire Cat and Longman Brewery Old Man. We went for the Weetwood and prices were ok, £4.90 for a pint and a half.
