Ian Mapp left this review about The Beacon
The GBG Book has this down as PI but its still showing on the online app as GBG recommended and under the name of the Beacon. I can only assume its the same owners, as I thought new takeovers warranted an automatic dropping from the guide.
Shop conversion with plenty of outdoor seating. Red Willow Feckless in fine condition.
Very popular, understandably.
Such a lovely place, Altrincham.

Malden man left this review about Pi (Altrincham)
A shop conversion, boarded floor, exposed brick chimney breast unfortunately missing a fire these days, the bar is at the back of the front room but another little side room exists at the back. Seating at small round tables, beer adverts on the walls, many for Belgian varieties, very enthusiastic beer knowledgeable barman. Tatton Blonde, Saltaire Amarillo Gold, and Red Willow Headless. There is a wide range of world bottled beers, menus on the tables, food is Pieminister pies (£4.95) with add ons like peas or gravy for a quid.
A nice little bar, a good touch was the complimentary bowl of peanuts. Liked it.

A micropub kinda place. German, Belgian bottled beers to the fore but it does do real ale. I think its owned by the same lot who run Pi in Liverpool.
