About This Pub
Oh, let me tell you about Strange Brew; it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening out. From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the place has this effortlessly cool atmosphere with a playlist that's always on point, whether it's midweek or the weekend, making it feel like you're catching up with mates in your own living room. The beer selection is spot on too – think interesting craft ales that cater to all tastes, and it's dead welcoming for dogs, which is brilliant if you're out with your furry friend. The staff really add to the charm, being so approachable and ensuring everything runs smoothly. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no website or easy way to contact them, so you might end up playing it by ear with the opening times, which could be a minor hassle on a rainy Manchester evening. All in all, it's a solid spot for a pint and a chat, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area looking for that perfect pub escape.

A lovely little bar. Lovely bar staff and almost always good music and interesting friendly patrons.
Great bar with a really cool vibe. Interesting selection of ales on tap and super cool tunes on the playlist all play into the chilled, relaxing vibe. Well thought out smoking area outside makes great use of the space and encourages chatting with others. Loved it 😍
My favourite pub in chorlton. Great music every day of the week, and a nice atmosphere midweek. Don’t get me started on the beers!
Loved this bar. Martin Meerkat brought me here for my first ever visit. ( On a dark Autumn evening.) Surprisingly large interior that stretches on to the rear. Good selection of real ales. Started with a pint of Vocation brewery Heart & Soul. A session IPA. Followed by a Red Willow brewery Headless. The rest of the group were on bottles of wine. The covered, open seating area to front providing the smokers a refuge. Think I'll be back.
29/07/24: top notch service. Good selection of craft ales. Dog friendly! Lots of little seating areas at the front, inside and through the back. Really enjoyed it here.
