About This Pub
Ah, let me tell you about the Belgian Bar – it's one of those places that just hits the spot when you're after a proper pub experience in Altrincham. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are the real stars; they're so friendly and attentive, like that chap George who everyone raves about, making sure you feel welcome no matter what. The beers are spot on with a great variety, and the food? Well, it's a winner – whether it's a hearty Sunday lunch that's fresh and tasty, or those moreish tapas and Asian steak that folks can't stop talking about. The open fire adds such a cosy touch, especially on a chilly evening, and the music's just right, not overwhelming but enough to set a nice mood. On the flip side, it's a shame it's closed one day a week, which might cramp your plans if you're set on popping in spontaneously. Plus, their online setup is pretty minimal, just an Instagram page, so you might have to rely on word of mouth or a quick visit to get the full picture. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint and a bite, with that high rating speaking volumes about what they do well, but it's worth keeping those little niggles in mind for a smoother visit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home, with that warm welcome that keeps you coming back.
-
They've got a fantastic selection of beers and food – think delicious Sunday roasts, tasty tapas, and even Asian steak that's spot on.
-
The atmosphere is spot on, with a cosy open fire and intelligent music choices from the 70s and 80s at just the right volume.
-
Portions are generous and the quality surprises you, making it a real treat for a casual night out or a meal with mates.
Cons
-
It's only open six days a week, which might throw a spanner in the works if you're planning a visit on that closed day.
-
Their online presence is a bit basic – just an Instagram page – so you might not find much info if you're after more details before heading over.
-
The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from what I've seen, which could mean double-checking to avoid any surprises.

Love it here. Always a warm welcome from the staff, great beer and food selection, and made all the better by the open fire. Our favourite bar in Altrincham
10/10 perfect pub for a perfect time!
I enjoyed all service, food and drinks.
This pub has waiters, who are all lovely, particularly George, they make you feel very welcome and happy no matter what mood you came in or where you came from.
The food is delicious no matter what time of year, and great live music. The portions are perfect sizes always leaving you full. Once you tried the food, you’ll want to come back for more! The drinks are always great, with too all the drinks a kid would love. It always has a nice vibe, and you never feel alone.
The location is perfect, with many shops in Altrincham and a great atmosphere.
We’ve been coming for 7 years and it’s always been our favourite place, for kids and adults. And the beer is delicious, great quality overall. Brilliant!
Worth a visit.
Great Sunday lunch really fresh and tasty 1st class best roast I have had in a long time
Absolutely love this place do not pass it by - have eaten here twice now and the Asian steak is absolutely stunning as is all of the tapas, we will definitely be back for the roast too. Fantastic selection of beers and the staff are so welcoming and accommodating. A great place to visit in Altrincham.
Amazing choice of products. Great server. Surprised by the quality and portion size of the food. Liked the choice of music... intelligent 70s 80s at a sensible volume. I'm a definate return customer. The sheep's name is Sam (the Suffolk) BTW.
