95/100
The Castle is a gem of a pub in Macclesfield, boasting top-notch food, a cracking atmosphere, and stellar beers – it's one of those places that leaves you wanting to come back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on – think delicious tapas-style Sunday roasts, bar snacks like curried pork pie, and plenty of options for vegans and those with coeliac disease, all made from locally sourced ingredients.
  • It's got this wonderfully cosy, historic vibe in a Grade II listed building, with old wood, stone walls, and even an open fire that makes you feel right at home.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of cask and keg beers from smaller independent breweries, plus it's dog-friendly, which is always a bonus for us animal lovers.
  • There are loads of board games to keep things fun, and the atmosphere is just brilliant, with friendly staff and a welcoming crowd.
Areas for Improvement
  • You can't make reservations, so it might be a bit of a gamble turning up with a larger group, though it seems to work out fine for smaller ones.
  • The website's a bit of a letdown – it's just a Facebook page and we couldn't access much, which might make it harder to check out the menu or events in advance.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It can get quite lively with music and events, so if you're after a quiet pint, it might not always hit the mark.

The Park Tavern in Macclesfield is a charming spot with cracking beers, a welcoming vibe, and that clever cinema upstairs – it's a real treat for a relaxed evening out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of ales and beers is top-notch, with plenty of cask and keg options that really hit the spot for a proper pint.
  • It's got such a warm and friendly atmosphere, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – and it's brilliant for dogs too!
  • They've got a unique little cinema upstairs for special events, which adds a fun twist to a night out; perfect for catching a film with a drink in hand.
  • The food menu is small but spot on, with tasty homemade options like scotch eggs and pork pies that cater to those wanting something hearty or healthy.
  • Overall, it's a cosy, traditional pub that's managed well and keeps things welcoming for a good crowd.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can sometimes feel a bit cliquey, like it's more geared towards the regulars, so newcomers might not always feel fully included.
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing with multiple listings, which could lead to some uncertainty about when it's actually open.
  • Based on one experience shared, it might not live up to the 'all-inclusive' promise for everyone, so it's worth going in with that in mind.

Sutton Hall is a charming historic pub in Macclesfield with brilliant food, a cosy atmosphere, and fun events, though it has the odd service slip-up here and there.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic building is full of character, with cosy nooks, a library, and beautiful gardens that make it a real treat to visit.
  • Food is fresh and delicious, especially the Sunday roasts – I've heard they're absolute winners, with tender meats and lovely portions.
  • Staff are generally warm and helpful, adding to that welcoming pub feel and making it easy to navigate the quirky layout.
  • A great selection of local cask ales, affordable wines, and a solid range of whiskies and gins to suit all tastes.
  • Plenty of events like monthly pub walks, quiz nights, and live music that keep things lively and give you more reasons to pop in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can feel a bit steep for the quality at times, like paying premium for something that's not quite as special as you'd hope.
  • Service isn't always spot-on; one visit mentioned an uninviting bar experience, which could put a dampener on things.
  • The layout with all those rooms and areas might be charming but can get confusing, especially if you're new to the place.

Pros and Cons

  • It's got this quirky layout with different rooms and levels, perfect for chatting and socialising without feeling cramped.

  • A solid selection of drinks and bar snacks keeps things simple yet satisfying for a good night with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open in the evenings and not every day, so you might miss out if you're after a daytime pint or it's that one closed day.
  • The website doesn't seem to offer much info, which could make it tricky to check what's on before heading over.
  • Being in the town centre, it can get a bit lively with folks spilling out onto the street, which might not suit everyone looking for a quiet spot.

The Wharf is a cracking little pub in Macclesfield with brilliant ales and a warm, friendly feel, though it's got a few uncertainties that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of ales, especially those from Yorkshire – always a treat for real ale lovers.
  • Super friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

  • Great location near the train station, making it easy to pop in after a day out or a match.
  • A consistently good vibe with a mix of locals and visitors, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit of an uphill walk to get there, which could be a minor hassle on a rainy day.
  • There's some uncertainty about the pub's future, which is a real shame and might make you want to visit sooner rather than later.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent, so it's worth double-checking to avoid disappointment.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The welcoming atmosphere is just spot on – you'll feel right at home from the moment you step in, with friendly staff and locals making everyone feel welcome.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of cask ales and a well-stocked bar, perfect for anyone who appreciates a good pint.
  • It's dog-friendly with a lovely courtyard beer garden, complete with a relaxing water feature, ideal for enjoying a drink outside on a sunny day.
  • Loads of traditional games like darts, pool, crib, and dominoes keep things lively and fun, especially if you're up for a bit of friendly competition.
  • They show all the live football on BT Sports and Sky Sports, so it's a great spot to catch the match with mates.
  • Tucked away in a historic part of Macclesfield, it's conveniently close to the train station and town centre, making it easy to pop in after a wander.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit of a hidden gem, so you might have to hunt it out if you're not familiar with the area, which could be a minor hassle.
  • No phone number available means you can't give them a quick ring if you need to check something, so emailing or checking online is the way to go.
  • Opening from 12:00 each day might feel a tad late for early birds or those wanting a morning tipple, wrapping up at 22:00 as well.

Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit inconsistent or limited in some listings, which might mean it's not always open when you'd hope, potentially cutting short your night out.
  • There's no website listed, so it can be tricky to get more details or check what's on offer before you head over.
  • As a smaller boozer, it might feel a tad cosy for larger groups, and the beer selection, while nice, isn't massive, so options could be limited if you're after something specific.

  • They've got some cracking dishes on offer, like that Sunday roast which sounds absolutely spot on – perfectly cooked beef and all the trimmings for a great price.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, especially in the evening with music at just the right level, creating a relaxed vibe for a good catch-up.
  • It's got a solid selection of menus, including halal options, which is brilliant for those looking for quality choices without compromise.
  • Overall, it's a welcoming spot with fresh, tasty fare that leaves you satisfied and ready to come back.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the food can be a bit hit or miss; for instance, steaks might lack that punchy flavour you hope for, which is a shame when it looks so good on the plate.
  • There have been complaints about sides like potatoes being stale or not up to scratch, which can really dampen the meal.
  • In busier times, like on a Saturday night, things might not be as seamless, with food taking a bit longer or not quite hitting the mark.
  • While the prices are fair, a few folks felt the food didn't quite live up to the hype, especially for more premium dishes.

  • The operating hours seem a tad unclear from what I've seen, so you might want to double-check to avoid any surprises.
  • Being unclaimed on Google, it doesn't feel as polished online, which could mean missing out on updates or specials.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that authentic traditional pub feel, like stepping back in time with its old-style charm and multi-room layout.
  • They serve well-kept cask ales and a few craft beers, making it a solid spot for a proper pint.

Areas for Improvement

The Nags Head in Macclesfield is a proper gem for live music lovers and those after a friendly pub experience, though it's worth noting that service isn't always spot on.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, just like chatting with old mates.
  • They've got a cracking lineup of live music every weekend, with bands covering everything from classic rock to indie tunes, which really gets the crowd going.
  • Plenty of options for a good pint, including some top-notch cask ales, and it's brilliant for catching the footy on their multiple screens.
  • The outdoor beer garden is a lovely spot for a summer evening, and they've got fun extras like pool tables and darts to keep things entertaining.
  • It's family-friendly during the week, which is great if you're popping in with the little ones before it turns into a lively music spot at weekends.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss; some folks have mentioned feeling pressured at the bar or dealing with a bit of attitude, which can put a dampener on the evening.
  • It might feel a tad overwhelming on quieter nights if the vibe isn't quite right, as one experience suggested it didn't live up to expectations.
  • The live events could get busy, so if you're after a peaceful pint, it might not always be the best choice, especially on gig nights.

The Dolphin's a lovely traditional pub in Macclesfield with a welcoming community spirit, great ales, and fun games, though it's a pity it's on the verge of closing.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Dolphin has a fantastic community vibe, making it feel like a proper local spot where everyone knows your name and you're always welcome.
  • They've got a cracking selection of cask ales from Robinsons Brewery, which really hits the spot for anyone who appreciates a good, traditional pint.
  • It's brilliant for a bit of fun with mates – think pool tables, darts boards, and even live sports on the telly, so you can catch the big games in a lively atmosphere.
  • The staff are absolute gems; from what I've heard, they're friendly and go out of their way to make your visit enjoyable, adding to that warm, welcoming feel.
  • Perks like a beer garden and being dog-friendly make it ideal for a sunny afternoon or if you're popping in with your four-legged friend.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems like the pub might be closing down soon, which is a real shame as it could put a dampener on planning future visits.
  • The opening hours are a bit on the late side, starting from midday or even 2 PM some days, so it's not the best if you're after an early morning pint.
  • Being very traditional, it might not suit everyone – if you're looking for something more modern or fancy, this one's got that classic pubby charm but could feel a tad outdated.

  • Opening hours seem a bit hit and miss lately, with some folks turning up to find the place closed when it should be open, which is frustrating if you're planning a visit.
  • Food experiences have been disappointing based on recent feedback, like cold buffets that don't live up to expectations, so it might not be the best choice for a proper meal just yet.
  • The atmosphere can feel unwelcoming at times, with reports of unfriendly staff and dirty tables, which takes away from what could be a lovely spot.
  • It's a shame about the overall vibe in some visits, as the place used to have a friendly, regulars-at-the-bar feel, but it hasn't been consistent recently.

The Flowerpot is a welcoming pub in Macclesfield with brilliant service and a fun vibe, though the food portions might not satisfy bigger appetites.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, always making you feel right at home from the get-go.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including non-alcoholic options like Heineken 0.0 on draught, which is spot on for those wanting a lighter choice.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming, with fun extras like a pool table, jukebox, and even karaoke nights to keep things lively.
  • Dogs are allowed in the bar, which is brilliant if you're popping in with your four-legged mate.

Areas for Improvement
  • The food portions can be a bit on the small side, particularly if you're someone who likes a hearty plate – might leave you wanting more.
  • It's a shame there's no website listed, so it's not straightforward to check out menus or events online before heading over.

Mulberry Bush is a cosy local pub in Macclesfield with a cracking friendly vibe and affordable drinks, though it's in a more down-to-earth area that might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and landlady are absolutely brilliant, always warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

The Elbow Room in Macclesfield is a cracking sports bar that's spot on for a laid-back evening of games, drinks, and good vibes with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and helpful, like that bartender who sorted out a pool table in a flash or the manager Seb who was spot on with advice.
  • It's a top spot for games; plenty of pool tables, darts, and shuffleboard to keep things lively and fun for all ages, even popping in with the little ones.
  • The atmosphere is just right – relaxed and welcoming, making it ideal for catching the footy, having a few beers, and enjoying a chat with mates.
  • They've got a decent selection of drinks and bar snacks, with prices that feel pretty standard for a night out in town.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some drinks can be a bit pricey, like that Guinness coming in at £6.40 – ouch, it might make you think twice before ordering another round.
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing from what I've seen, with varying times listed, so it's worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any disappointment.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they provide top-notch service and great drink recommendations, making you feel right at home.
  • It's a fantastic spot for after-work drinks on weekdays; it's much quieter then, which is perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.

  • The drinks are spot on, and it's especially welcoming for visitors, with staff going the extra mile to make everyone feel included.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was an unfortunate incident where someone got kicked out over what seemed like a misunderstanding, which might leave a bit of a sour taste.
  • It only opens a few days a week, so you might have to plan your visit carefully if you're keen to pop in.
  • Weekends can get pretty packed, which might make it feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a more laid-back evening.

  • With only a handful of reviews, it might not be the most well-known spot yet, so you could be taking a bit of a chance.

Bollington Brewery Tap is a hidden gem in Macclesfield, boasting a gorgeous restored building and cracking beers, but mind the payment hiccups and busier vibes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The building is absolutely stunning—it's a beautifully restored former mill that makes for a really inviting and comfortable space.
  • They've got an excellent selection of cask ales, including some top-notch milds that beer enthusiasts will love.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with plenty of tables inside, quieter spots if you fancy a chat, and even some outdoor areas for a bit of fresh air.
  • The staff come across as exceptional, always helpful and adding to the welcoming vibe.
  • It's a great spot to unwind after a hike or a day out, with that community feel that makes you want to come back.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some issues with payment methods; a few folks mentioned they wouldn't take cash, which could leave you scrambling if you're not prepared.
  • The main room can get quite noisy when it's busy, so it might not be ideal if you're after a peaceful pint.
  • With only five days open a week and varying hours, it can be a bit tricky to catch them at the right time.
  • It's not the most widely known spot, so you might miss it if you're just passing through Macclesfield.

Areas for Improvement

  • The place could do with a good deep clean; it's a bit scruffy in spots, which might put some folks off.
  • There have been complaints about the bar staff being miserable at times, which can dampen the atmosphere.
  • Watch out for the wine – it's been described as warm, so it might not be the best choice if you're after something chilled.
  • Food-wise, it's not everyone's cup of tea; one person mentioned they wouldn't fancy eating there based on the state of things.

Went in for a drink whilst passing through. Awful place, whole pub needs a deep clean, bar steward scruffy and miserable and warm wine. Wouldn't like to eat here.

The Plough is a charming local pub in Macclesfield with a friendly vibe and great drinks, but it's got some inconsistencies with food and pricing that you should keep in mind.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Plough has a really welcoming local atmosphere that makes you feel right at home, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • They've got a solid selection of pints and ciders that hit the spot, with some lovely cask ales that folks have raved about.
  • It's sparkling clean and has been nicely revamped, making it a fresh and inviting spot to pop into.
  • When the food's on offer, like their Sunday lunch menu, it's absolutely spot on – locally sourced and delicious, with highlights like melt-in-the-mouth beef.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food availability can be a bit unreliable, especially on Sundays when it might not be an option at all.
  • Some drinks, like alcohol-free Guinness, feel overpriced compared to other places, which could put a dampener on things.
  • Take-away food has had some rough reviews, with complaints about tough meats and undercooked veg – not ideal if you're after a quick bite.
  • It can fill up quickly for meals, so you'll need to book ahead, which might not suit spontaneous plans.

This was a great little Pub we happened upon during our visit to Macclesfield. Stopped in for a few drinks before continuing our walk about. Even returned again after our walk. Very local atmosphere...

It’s a nice pub with good service but please, if you’re going to charge £4.50 for a can of Guinness 0.0, can it be a pint one like most other places? It’s £3.50 for a pint can in the Shamrock Bar for...

Heard the pub had reopened, thought we'd call in and give it a try, cask ale was lovely. Nice to see the pub sparkling clean again much better than the last time we called in. Will definitely visit ag...
