The Q Inn in Ashton

Ah, The Q Inn, it's one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, tucked away on Market Street in Stalybridge. From what I've gathered, it's got this warm, buzzing vibe that's perfect for sinking into a comfy spot with a pint of something tasty – the selection of beers and ales is spot on, and at such reasonable prices, you can really make a night of it without worrying about the tab. The huge beer garden is a real highlight, especially on those rare sunny evenings, and being dog-friendly adds a nice touch if you're popping in with your four-legged mate. But, like any place, it's not without its quirks; I did hear about a time when staff weren't too accommodating during a bit of lively celebrating, which might leave you feeling a tad deflated if you're in high spirits. Oh, and those owner dogs wandering about could be a minor hassle for anyone with a nervous pet. Overall, though, with a solid 4.3 rating from folks who've been there, it's clear this spot does a lot right – I'd say it's worth a visit for a relaxed pint, just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a cracking time.
