Enigma Pub in Stockport

About This Pub

Ah, Enigma – what a little gem tucked away in Stockport! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's this warm, inviting spot where the atmosphere is just spot on, with folks chatting away and enjoying themselves without any of that awkward silence you sometimes get in pubs. I love how they focus on solid beers like Joseph Holts, which come at prices that won't break the bank, and they've got a fantastic range of cocktails and food that people rave about – sounds like a perfect spot for a relaxed evening or a bite with mates. The beer garden gets a big thumbs up too, ideal for those nicer days when you want to be outside. But, to be fair, it's not all perfect; if you're someone who enjoys cask ales, you might find the options a bit limited, and there's that rule about no vaping indoors, which could put a dampener on things for some. Still, with such high ratings and cheerful feedback, I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area – just pop in when they're open and see for yourself!

Pros and Cons

Pros

The friendly and welcoming atmosphere really makes you feel at home, with plenty of laughter and banter that puts everyone at ease.
They've got a cracking selection of beers, like the excellent Joseph Holts as their house beer, and it's all reasonably priced for a proper pint.
The cocktails are varied and well-priced, and the food menu looks absolutely spot on – I've heard it's amazing and hits the spot every time.
The beer garden is a real highlight, nicely done and perfect for soaking up the sun or enjoying a chat outdoors.
The staff are brilliant, full of personality and quick to make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit.

Cons

You can't vape inside, which might be a bit of a letdown if that's your habit.
No cask ales on offer, so if you're after those traditional brews, you might have to look elsewhere.
It's only open five days a week with varying hours, so you'll need to check ahead to avoid a wasted trip.

Fantastic family ran bar very good beer Joseph holts diamond as there house beer very good pints indeed and very reasonably priced. Also, a fantastic variety of cocktails at good priced also. And amazing food 😋. The only downfall is that you can not vape inside, but I would highly recommend this venue!

Has some of the finest clientele that I’ve ever come across anywhere — and they’ve done a great job with their beer garden! (Just don’t sit under the trees) I like that they’ve also brought in branded glasses as occasionally I would pick up the wrong one by mistake, and absolutely hate it (having a random beer instead of cider) Incidentally, I’ve had the food here, and it’s extremely nice — making me go back for seconds which is unusual for me — but the fact that it doesn’t break my bank (when most takeaways of any sort do) certainly helps — also the quality of said food makes you want to avoid them anyway. Hats off, Deborah — you’ve saved my wallet yet destroyed my waistline 😂

First time here and certainly won't be the last. Really friendly atmosphere in this attractive bar. No cask ales but at least they had Neck Oil available. There's a large beer garden as well. We didn't have anything to eat but the food menu looked good. Decent prices and an extensive choice of cocktails.

Nuts

Stockport best kept secret. We walked through the doors - and was greeted by a friendly young lad behind the bar. Normally if you walk into a bar where you aren't a regular- you are met with stares and uncomfortable silences. Not here! We walked in and was met with laughter, Banter, great 80s music and a great welcome from team (and regulars)! The homemade cocktails are to absolutely die for! And the prices are SO reasonable!! There wasn't a single drink we was disappointed with. And the food truck outside? It was AMAZING. Will definitely be coming to this local family establishment again, very soon!
