Duffy's Bar in Stretford

Ah, Duffy's Bar – what a gem in Chorlton-cum-Hardy! From what I've gathered from the buzz around, it's got this brilliant atmosphere that's just perfect for sinking a pint while catching live music or the footie on the screens. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, which really adds to the whole experience. And let's not forget the drinks – they've got a smashing selection, with the Guinness stealing the show as one of the best you'll find this side of the Irish Sea. It's all reasonably priced too, so you can enjoy without worrying about the wallet. On the flip side, the opening times look a tad confusing from the details out there, so you might want to confirm before heading over to avoid any surprises. Oh, and without a website, it's not the easiest to get the lowdown online, but once you're in, it's well worth the effort. All in all, if you're after a proper pub with character and a friendly crowd, this one's a winner – I'd say give it a go for a relaxed evening or a match day pit stop.
