The Brigadier in Sale

Ah, The Brigadier – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles the moment you walk in, with its friendly staff and that genuine community spirit that makes you want to stick around for another round. From what I've gathered from folks' chats, it's spot on for a relaxed night; you can dive into a game of darts or pool, or join in with the open mic or karaoke if you're feeling bold, all while enjoying well-priced pints and some cracking special offers that keep things affordable. The beer selection is top-notch too, with Joseph Holt's award-winners leading the way, and it's great that they've made it accessible for everyone, including four-legged friends. On the flip side, though, the opening times are a bit restrictive on weekdays, kicking off at 2 PM, so it's not ideal if you're after an early tipple. And honestly, it's more your classic local than a high-energy spot for a big night out – think cosy chats over lively parties – but that's part of its charm if you're after a down-to-earth vibe. All in all, if you're in Sale and fancy a pint in a place that feels like a second home, give it a go; it's got that balance of fun and familiarity that makes for a proper good time.
