Alexandra Hotel in Hindley

Ah, the Alexandra Hotel – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from folks' chats online, the staff are top-notch, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone feels included, which really sets the tone for a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is spot on too; it's got that nostalgic vibe, like you're nipping into a piece of history with its old-school decor and friendly buzz. And let's not forget the beers – they're bang on, with some cracking cask options that won't leave your wallet weeping. Plus, if you're out with the dog, it's a welcoming spot for them as well. On the flip side, it's a cash-only affair, which can be a bit of a faff in this card-heavy world, and honestly, the inside could use a bit of sprucing up as it does feel a tad worn around the edges. All in all, if you're after a straightforward, no-frills pint in a place with real heart, it's worth seeking out, but maybe plan ahead for that cash and keep expectations realistic for the decor.
