About This Pub
Ah, the Vine in Sale – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a reliable old mate, you know? I've popped in a few times, and what I love most is how it's kept that genuine traditional vibe, with a cracking setup for watching the footy or having a go at darts and pool. The prices are spot on for a casual night out, and the service is usually pretty swift, making it easy to settle in with a pint. On the flip side, it's not without its quirks; the dart board isn't always fully kitted out, which can be a bit frustrating if you're keen on a proper game, and occasionally the bar staff might not know every drink inside out, leading to a head-scratching moment or two. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening with friends, especially if you're after good value and a community feel, but it could do with a bit of modernisation to keep up with the times. If you're in the area, I'd say give it a try – you might just find your new go-to spot!

Craft union pub in Sale. Reasonable prices, pool, quality dart board and shows the sports on several tvs. ⚽️ 🎱 🎯
The Vine is literally around the corner from me and yet I’ve never been before.
Today with the lovely weather, and the wife being out, I thought I’d venture in. What a great pub!
It’s got the decor of a traditional pub, along with darts, sports tv’s and a pool table and it looks like it’s looked after.
The gents were remarkably clean, though there was some tack on the wall where I guess a sign was. The urge to go back with a scraper to remove it is huge!
They have a beer garden that also has a sports tv is pleasant enough. Clean, tidy and a little wonky as it’s on a slope.
The pub was quiet so they only had one bar person on, who remembered my drink each time I came to the bar and was very pleasant.
The other patrons were a mix of ethnicities and sexes so it’s not just a blokes sports bar.
Overall, a lovely experience… 4 pints down I went home with a smile on my face.
I will definitely be back to Sale’s little gem.
Great old boozer, excellent choice of beers. Spent my youth here, and now my old age apparently.
Decent pub. Good for live sports. Had snooker and footy on.
Dartboard set up OK. Was missing lighting (damaged) and no oche. Landlord said he might be moving darts to a different dedicated area with 2 boards. That's what I like to hear! I'll be back to see that in the near future, then I'll give it a 5 star.
Update: darts lighting fixed 👍
Been here a few times for football with my mates, I'm not a fan myself, the drinks of cheap and the drinks come fast.
Ordered a godfather pitcher and the lady that brought it over asked me what it was and I'm like "Amaretto, Whiskey & Cola?, you should try it sometime" How can you not know the name of the drink your serving. 😅
My mates like this place so I mainly come for them.
