About This Pub

Ah, The Nip & Tipple – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles from the moment you step in. I've heard from a few mates who've popped by, and they're all raving about the staff; they're dead chatty and make you feel right at home, whether you're there for a quick pint or a full meal. The food's a real highlight too – imagine tucking into a massive mushroom and tarragon pie or a Sunday roast with lashings of gravy; it's all homemade, tasty as anything, and at a fair price that doesn't sting the wallet. Plus, being queer-owned, it has that extra layer of inclusivity with events that bring the community together, which is brilliant to see. On the flip side, though, it's only open three days a week, so you might find yourself planning around that, and their website's a bit sparse, which means you could end up winging it a touch. All in all, if you're in Whalley Range and fancy a relaxed spot for good nosh and a laugh, it's worth checking out – just keep an eye on their hours to avoid disappointment!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a bit of banter which really makes the place feel like a proper local haunt.
  • They've got some cracking food on offer – think hearty pies, tasty Sunday lunches, and brilliant brunches that are generous with portions and packed with flavour.
  • It's a queer-owned spot with a solid selection of drinks and a great lineup of events throughout the year, adding a nice community vibe.
  • Prices are moderate, so you get good value without breaking the bank, especially for the quality of grub and pints on tap.
Cons
  • It's only open a few days a week, which can be a bit of a letdown if you're hoping for a midweek pint or meal.
  • From what I can tell, their online presence is a tad limited, so you might not find much info before heading over, which could be handy for planning.

Friendly, long-standing queer-owned business in the heart of Whalley Range. Solid food choices, non-fuss, and a good selection of drinks. Michi is a great pub landlord and puts on a geat programme of events across the year, too.

Came on a weekday evening for a drink and some food and it was so good! I had mushroom and tarragon pie, and my partner had the spinach and feta, both were big portions and came with chips and a really nice side salad. Will definitely be back :)

New Sunday lunch menu is delicious!! Really good gravy, lamb/beef/pork/vegetarian options all looked great. Bar staff unsure which is their favourite - always a good sign!! Haha very friendly bar staff too. Very full and content now :) vegetarian pictured. Looks like not enough gravy, but plates are huge so there was actually plenty. Thanks! :)

Great New Brunch Menu 🤤 Went today for brunch after a recommendation from a friend. They were not wrong. Lovely, tasty, and great value huge breakfasts. Quality ingredients cooked and seasoned well and service as always with a smile and friendly banter. We had the Royale and the Meat Breakfast. Can recommend both, huge filling portions and great for a hangover. The 'grandpa sausages' are delish. We will be back for Sunday Roast.
