About This Pub
You know, when you step into The Alexandra in Edgeley, it's like taking a step back in time with all those beautiful original features and cosy nooks that just make you feel at ease right away. I've heard from folks who've visited that the beers are always spot on, especially the Robinsons selection, and it's a proper haven for watching live sports without missing a beat. The food's another highlight – think delicious, no-fuss options like burgers and hotdogs that hit the spot, and it's brilliant that they've made it so welcoming for families and dogs alike. That beer garden is a real treat too, with covered areas and an outdoor telly for those sunny days or even when the weather's a bit dodgy. On the flip side, it can be a bit of a wait until opening time on weekdays, starting at 2 PM, so if you're an early bird, you might need to plan around that. And let's be honest, on match days near Edgeley Park, it gets buzzing with energy, which is fantastic if you're up for it, but could feel a touch crowded if you're after something more low-key. Overall, it's a solid choice for a good night out with friends, offering that perfect mix of tradition and friendliness that keeps people coming back.
Pros and Cons

-
The staff are incredibly friendly and the locals make you feel right at home, especially if you're popping in before or after a Stockport County match.
Cons
-
It doesn't open until the afternoon on weekdays, so if you're after a spot for lunch or a morning coffee, you might have to look elsewhere.
-
Things can get quite lively during match days, which is great for fans but might feel a bit overwhelming if you're seeking a quiet corner.
-
While it's got a traditional pub vibe, some might find the focus on sports and games a tad too boisterous for a more relaxed chat over drinks.

Great pub with amazing food and a decent beer garden! Lovely owner and staff
Quite simply the best pub around for food. Lots of rooms so you can choose the atmosphere (fire) (pool) (social) (hub) (sports TV) ( large outdoor TV and garden) reasonably priced and family/ dog friendly. Nice staff and locals, very clean! Friendly pub 20/10*
Unbelievably friendly. Me and my wife came as away fans before County Vs Exeter City and we were welcome with open arms. Everyone we spoke to was lovely, we received great service. The beer was fantastic, only bettered by the food. Great atmosphere and lots of seating by the fire on what was a truly abysmal day. Next time I'm.in Stockport I'll make a special effort to visit. Great place 👌
Great pub with friendly staff. Fantastic food - burgers, hotdogs and sides. Dine in or take out. Very big beer garden, lots of different rooms inside, two pool tables, darts, tvs showing football. Plenty of character, a cosy pub with lots of rooms and original features like mosaic floors. Can't fault it, brilliant and welcoming place.
