Hogarth's in Rochdale

You know, when I popped into Hogarth's, it really hit the spot as a proper local bar – it's set in this quirky old bank building that gives it such a unique charm. The staff are absolute gems, always up for a laugh and making sure everything runs smoothly, which makes it feel like a welcoming spot for a get-together. Prices are spot on too, so you can kick back with a few drinks without it costing the earth, and there's loads on offer to keep things lively, like karaoke sessions, darts for a bit of fun, and sports showing on the screens if that's your thing. The outdoor area is brilliant for when the weather's playing nice, and they've got some cracking food choices with pizzas and even a Jamaican hut outside for a tasty bite. On the downside, though, there are tellys all over the place, which might distract from a cosy chat if you're after something a tad more relaxed. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time with friends, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in Rochdale and fancy a pint in a place that's got heart.
