Going to leave this unrated, as it would be unfair when so quiet.

It is in the Good Beer Guide. I missed my train by a minute (bus held in traffic) and fired up the app to see if there was somewhere I could idle away 50mins for the next southbound one.

This is 0.2miles from the station, if you can get the staff to let you through the ticket barriers to take advantage of getting under the railway line. They provide a ticket at one end, which you hand in at the other.

A short walk to this community pub, surrounded by high rises. The wall nearest the main road doesnt have windows, so unsure if this was open, but onto the side road and in to a small, L-Shaped room.

The only people here were either working behind the bar or in some way helping run the place.

Still had 6 hand pulls on. How they get the turnover, I cannot say, but my Beeston Brewery Worth the Wait was perfect.

Decor is junk-shop esque, with all manner of nick nacks on the shelves. Nice drone shot photo from the air above a contempi organ.

The Olde Vic has an L-shaped bar on the left wall that supports six handpumps, three of which were unused during a recent Tuesday evening visit. I’d not heard of the three available ales, but I enjoyed the Portobello Westway Pale. On the rear wall is a fireplace and banquette seating is found in the rear and the front right. On the shelf at the back of the seating and around the walls is a load of old nick-nacks, in fact there is a lot of old bits and bobs everywhere, even the background music was from a bygone era. I didn’t find the service to be very friendly and I found it difficult to get comfortable, even though it was very quiet. This isn’t somewhere I’ll be rushing back to.

— (April 2022) back up to 6 real ales, and again a very friendly welcome from the eccentric bunch of characters at the bar. A total classic pub.

— (September 2021) exceptionally friendly, this was my favourite pub of the day in Stockport for its obvious character and community spirit. Very impressive display of pump clips and countless other knick-knacks for decor. i couldn’t see more than 3 hand pumps and the TV screen agreed with me. The two ales I tried were spot on though - Chadkirk Matueka and Cotswold Rakau. Probably not the best idea to save this as your last pub before the train, you’ll inevitably get talking to someone and miss it :)
