Top End Bar in Ashton

Ah, Top End Bar – it's one of those hidden gems in Ashton-under-Lyne that really hits the spot for a laid-back pint or a catch-up with mates. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are the real stars; they're warm, attentive, and go out of their way to make sure everyone feels welcome, whether you're a regular or just popping in. The prices are an absolute bargain – think the cheapest beers in the area with some great deals thrown in, which makes it perfect for keeping things affordable on a night out. Plus, there's a solid selection of drinks, clean pool tables for a bit of entertainment, and the telly's often on with sports, so it's great if you're into that. On the flip side, it's cash only, which is a nod to the old-school vibe but can be a pain if you're used to tapping your card. And while the locals add to the character with their cheeky banter, it might feel a tad rough for those seeking a more refined crowd. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after good value and a genuine, friendly atmosphere – I'd say give it a go for a proper pub experience without the fuss.
