About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about the Angel Inn – it's one of those places in Stockport that just draws you in with its vibrant energy. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's become a bit of a go-to for music lovers, with nights dedicated to bands like Motorhead, where you can mosh about and then chill on those quirky American barber shop chairs. The beers are a real highlight; they've got a fantastic range, including some cracking real ales that folks rave about, and it's all served up by staff who are genuinely warm and helpful. That beer garden is another winner – imagine sitting out there with a pint, watching the world go by in the historic market square, or even spotting planes heading into Manchester. But, fair's fair, it's not perfect. A few people mentioned getting a bit baffled by the drink choices, as they're not your everyday options, and while the staff try their best, it might leave you scratching your head. Plus, the website's a bit of a mess right now, so good luck getting details online before you pop in. And on the downside, it does get heaving at times, which means you might end up standing or waiting for a seat, especially if the weather's turned. Overall, though, it's got that mix of old-school charm and excitement that makes it worth a visit – I'd say it's ideal for a fun evening with mates, as long as you're up for a bit of hustle and bustle.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially with live music events like tribute nights – it's a proper lively spot for a great night out.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, including real ales from the oldest brewery in the world, which always hits the spot.
  • The staff are really friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat and helping out if you're unsure about what to order.
  • There's a spacious beer garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun or watching planes fly overhead – it's got that historic market square vibe going for it.
Cons
  • Some folks might find the drink options a bit confusing, as they're not always straightforward or familiar, even if the staff do their best to explain.
  • The website seems to be playing up with errors, which makes it tricky to get more info before you head over.
  • It can get pretty packed, especially on busy days, so you might struggle to nab a table inside or outside when it's nippy.
  • Apparently, it's shifted from just a traditional pub to more of a rock venue, which could surprise you if you're after a quiet pint.

It's not called the Angel anymore, but it's a rock venue. We happily stumbled upon a Motorhead tribute night and had a fab time moshing to Lemmy's classics and then resting on American barber shop chairs. Didn't buy any food, hence no rating for that.

Lively pub near the market and several music venues in a lovely part of Stockport. I met some psychobilly friends here before a gig. Really enjoyed the lively and bustling vibe. Friendly. 🍻

It has a nice, and spacious beer garden (at the weekend) — I never really know what I’m ordering here but it tastes nice enough (as in I’ve never seen it elsewhere, staff try their best to explain it, and they’re usually hospitable)

Visited this lovely pub on Stockport Market Place a few times since it reopened after a very long siesta. Paulicarus likes the range of 6 real ales. We chose a pint of Beartown bitter. Very good. A busy pub on this Saturday afternoon. Managed to grab the last free table inside. Too cold for us to sit outside. ( seats out front and out back.)

What an amazing bar with a lovely beer garden, planes flying directly overhead into Manchester and out front the historic market square! Great selection of beers and lagers from the oldest brewery in the world. Lovely friendly bar staff and some iconic music! Would definitely recommend it!
