About This Pub
Ah, The Longford Tap – it's one of those pubs that just makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. I've got to say, the staff really stand out; they're so attentive and cheerful, whether you're there for a quiet drink or something bigger like a birthday bash or a baby shower. Folks have raved about how helpful they've been, sorting out setups and being flexible with timings – it's clear they put in the effort to make every visit special. The beer selection is spot on too, with plenty of local ales and craft options, and they're not shy about letting you try before you buy, which is always a nice touch. It's dog-friendly and has that warm, cosy feel that makes it ideal for a relaxed afternoon or evening. On the flip side, it's tucked into a shopping mall, so it might not give off the classic pub charm if that's what you're after, and their online info could be a bit more reliable for planning ahead. Prices are moderate, which is fair but might add up if you're out for a long session. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time with mates, and with such high ratings, I'd say it's worth checking out for a proper Manchester pub experience.

The atmosphere is lovely and cosy, making it a great place to relax, and it's dog-friendly too, which is a real bonus if you're out with your furry mate.
-
Convenient location right by Stretford Tram Station and in a shopping mall, so it's easy to get to and combines well with a day out shopping.
Cons
-
The online presence could do with a bit of a spruce-up, as their website seems to have some issues, which might make it tricky to check details before you visit.
-
Being in a shopping mall, it might not have that traditional pub vibe for those who prefer a more tucked-away spot away from the hustle.
-
With a moderate price level, it could feel a tad pricey if you're just after a quick, budget-friendly drink, especially if you're used to cheaper options elsewhere.

We hosted my partner's 30th here over the weekend and I cannot say a big enough thank you to the Tap! From start to finish, everyone was incredible. Paul was super helpful and responsive and the bar staff were amazing. We all had a great time, thanks so much!

Had my baby shower here and honestly couldn’t fault it in anyway. The owners let us come early to set up and was completely flexible with what we wanted, bar staff were amazing. Would more than recommend this place to go just for a drink or to host an event 🤍
Great place with a good selection of craft ales. They have a jukebox with all the songs and they are dog friendly. I found the staff to be really friendly too. Would definitely recommend
Wow - what a great pub. All beers sourced locally with 4 on cask - the bar staff are really friendly and will give you a taster if not too sure what 🍺 to have. Although on the edge of a shopping centre the pub has its own toilets. You can literally see Stretford Tram Station from the front door. A perfect stop off on the Altrincham 🚊 line.
