About This Pub

Ah, G&J Muckers – what a charming find in Macclesfield! From what I've gathered, it's this converted bar that's been done up into a proper traditional pub on the ground floor, complete with a roaring real fire that just adds to the cosy feel. Folks have been raving about the welcoming atmosphere and the top-notch service; it's one of those places where you pop in for a quick drink and end up staying for hours. The real ales and lagers are spot on, drawing in beer enthusiasts who appreciate a quality pint. And then there's the Thai restaurant upstairs – oh, it's a winner! Reviews are full of praise for the delicious curries, ribs, and coconut rice, with people saying it's well worth the visit, especially for a special occasion like a birthday. It's family-friendly too, which is great if you're out with the little ones. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – the place is shut on Mondays, and with limited hours the rest of the week, you might have to time your trip just right. Plus, it can get busy, so booking for the restaurant is a must to avoid any disappointment. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening, and while it might not have loads of buzz around it yet, the glowing feedback suggests it's worth seeking out for a proper good time.

Pros and Cons

Cons
  • It's closed on Mondays, which means you'll have to plan around that if you're keen for a mid-week tipple.
  • The restaurant upstairs can get busy, so it's wise to book ahead to avoid missing out.
  • With only a handful of reviews, it might not be the most well-known spot yet, so you could be taking a bit of a chance.

  • There's no phone number listed, making it tricky to check on things like availability or any last-minute changes.

Called in last night for a drink. Received a friendly welcome and was greeted with a great selection of real ales and lagers. Decided to eat here, although this wasn't our original intention, however the menu looked so good. The restaurant upstairs serves Thai food, catering for all tastes including vegetarian and vegan. The food was exceptionally good and well priced. Overall, a great night and we talked about what we would choose off the menu on our next visit.
