The Pint Pot

4.7(99 reviews)
92/100
The Pint Pot in Rochdale is a real hidden gem for beer lovers, offering top-quality ales and a friendly buzz, though it does get packed on weekends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a great range of craft ales and stouts that really hit the mark.
  • The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready for a bit of banter and making you feel right at home.
  • It's got a warm, welcoming atmosphere with interesting decor and cracking tunes that make for a proper enjoyable visit.
  • Live music adds to the fun, especially on busy nights, turning it into a lively spot for a good night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get super busy on Fridays and Saturdays, so you might struggle to find a seat and end up standing.
  • The place isn't well advertised, which means it could be a bit tricky to discover if you're not already in the know.
  • With only five days a week open, it's not always available for a spontaneous pint, which is a shame.
  • Early afternoons might feel a tad quiet, so if you're after a buzzing vibe, timing your visit could be key.

The Baum is a real gem in Rochdale, offering a warm, inviting vibe with excellent food and drinks that keep folks coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is just lovely – it's got that homely, quirky feel that makes you want to settle in for the evening.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, including local brews that really hit the spot.
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, always friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall charm.
  • Food is spot on – think hearty British dishes like cheese and onion pie or steak and ale pie, all served up quickly and great value for money.
  • It's dog-friendly, so you can bring your furry mate along, and there's a good-sized beer garden for when the weather's nice.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food might take a bit longer if they're busy, especially with a new menu in place, though it hasn't been a big issue from what I've heard.
  • Some popular items can sell out, like those black pudding scotch eggs, so you might miss out if you don't get there early.

Hoochi Koochi is a delightful little bar in Rochdale that's packed with charm, killer music, and a welcoming vibe, though it's a sneaky one to find.

Vicolo Del Vino is a lovely little bar in Rochdale that's full of charm and buzzing energy, perfect for a relaxed night out, though it might not always deliver on the food front.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got a fantastic atmosphere, especially later in the evening with live music and a lively crowd that really gets the energy going.
  • Drinks are good value for money, and from what some regulars say, the food sounds promising when it's on offer.
  • This place has a unique, almost hidden gem feel in Rochdale, with a forward-thinking vibe that sets it apart from the usual spots.
Areas for Improvement
  • The menu seems a bit out of date, so if you're after a proper meal like tapas, you might just find snacks instead, which can be disappointing.
  • It can lack atmosphere at quieter times, like early evening on a Friday, so timing your visit might make all the difference.
  • With inconsistent operating hours, it's worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any surprises.

The Flying Horse Hotel is a real gem in Rochdale – a welcoming pub with cracking food, superb beers, and lively entertainment that keeps you coming back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, always ready with a smile and quick service, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite lively with the live music and events, which might not suit you if you're after a peaceful, quiet evening for a chat.
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled in places, with varying times listed, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any disappointment if you're planning a late visit.
  • Being in the heart of Rochdale, it might feel a tad out of the way if you're not local, though that's part of its charm for those who venture out.

Trinity in Rochdale is a cracking little bar with stellar staff, a lively vibe, and great drinks, though it's only open on Sundays.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, helpful, and really make you feel welcome, like chatting with mates behind the bar.
  • Fantastic atmosphere with a great mix of old and new music, plus flashy lights that get everyone in the mood for a good night.
  • Top-notch drinks selection, including cheeky cocktails, classic beers and spirits, and even their own recipe shots that are a real treat.
  • The place is spotlessly clean and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed or lively evening out in the heart of Rochdale.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open on Sundays from 8pm to 3am, which means it's not an option for a spontaneous mid-week drink and might limit your plans.
  • The toilets are upstairs, which could be a hassle for some, especially if you're not up for the climb after a few drinks.
  • No website or phone number listed, so it's tricky to check details or book ahead – you're basically going in blind.
  • With just 20 reviews in total, it feels like a hidden gem, but that also means it might not be as buzzing as busier spots.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

Areas for Improvement
  • Access can be a bit tricky with steps to get inside, which might not be ideal for everyone, especially if you're with little ones or have mobility concerns.
  • The location near busy roads could make it hard to reach on foot, as one visitor mentioned the traffic lights being a hassle.
  • There's no clear info on opening hours, and it seems like it might not always be open, which could lead to disappointment if you pop by unexpectedly.

  • It's a refreshing alternative to the big chain pubs, with well-kept beers and even tasty extras like pork pie options that add a nice touch.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit tricky to find online since there's no website or claimed presence, so you might need to rely on word of mouth or directions.
  • The opening hours are limited to afternoons and evenings (from 1 PM to 11 PM), which could be a miss if you're after a morning pint.
  • With such a small number of reviews out there, it hasn't built up much buzz yet, so it might feel under the radar compared to busier spots.

Spotland Reform Club is a welcoming pub in Rochdale that's spot on for events and get-togethers, with a solid 4.4 rating, but do watch out for those sneaky card fees.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • The beer selection is spot on, offering plenty of choices to suit different tastes.
  • The staff come across as really friendly and welcoming, adding to that cosy, homely atmosphere.
  • The venue itself is generally clean and tidy, which makes it a comfortable place to spend time.
Areas for Improvement
  • They slap on an extra fee for card transactions, like 50p per go, which can feel a bit cheeky and add up quickly.
  • The toilets are in a sorry state, which is a real shame and might put you off lingering too long.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff at Bucks Bar are absolutely brilliant – they're friendly, attentive, and really go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly, just like in those glowing reviews.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere with plenty of entertainment and a fun vibe, perfect for catching up with mates or hosting a get-together.

  • Drinks are reasonably priced, which is always a winner when you're out for a good time without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a small number of reviews out there, it might not be on everyone's radar yet, so you could be taking a bit of a punt if you're new to the area.
  • There's no website listed, which makes it a tad tricky to get more info or check things out online before heading over.
  • The operating hours seem mostly evenings, so it might not suit those looking for a daytime spot, and there's a mention of it being closed at times, which could be worth double-checking.

  • The pub's only open a few days a week, which might make it tricky to pop in if you're not around at the right time.

Horse & Jockey is a charming local pub in Rochdale with a welcoming feel, great for casual nights out, though it has a couple of minor drawbacks.
Pros and Cons

The Regal Moon is a solid Wetherspoon spot in Rochdale – affordable drinks and grub with a touch of character, but it has its fair share of rough patches that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are always affordable and there's a fantastic selection of beers, lagers, wines, and spirits to choose from, making it a great spot for a casual catch-up.
  • They've got some cracking meal deals every day of the week, so you can grab a decent bite without breaking the bank.
  • The interior is rather charming, with lovely art deco features that give it a bit of character and history – it's nice to see that preserved.
  • It's right in the town centre, which makes it super convenient for a quick pint or a meal after wandering about.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some hygiene slip-ups, like that awful incident with a used nappy left on a table for ages, which really puts a dampener on things.
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; some folks have had dreadful experiences with tough, tasteless steaks that you'd rather forget.
  • The atmosphere can get quite noisy and rowdy at times, with the odd scuffle breaking out, so it might not be the most relaxed setting.
  • Staff don't always handle complaints well, which can leave you feeling a bit ignored if something goes wrong.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit noisy with kids around, especially near the pool table, which might spoil the peace if you're after a quiet drink.
  • During the day, it's often quite subdued, so if you're looking for a more energetic vibe all the time, it might not hit the mark.
  • Some folks have mentioned that while it's nice, it doesn't always exceed expectations if you're hoping for something a bit more upscale or exciting.

Pros and Cons

  • The old-school charm, like those leaded glass windows, gives it a real nostalgic feel that's quite endearing.
Areas for Improvement
  • The strict rules, like no loud chatting or using your phone, can make it feel a bit too rigid and spoil the fun for some.
  • No music, TV, or even certain drinks like real ale, which means it might not have the variety you'd expect in a modern pub.
  • It can come across as a tad outdated, and I've heard it's often quiet, which isn't ideal if you're after a lively Saturday night.
  • Some folks find the restrictions confusing or off-putting, like not being able to buy a bottle of wine, which adds to the old-fashioned vibe.

The Sandbrook is a cracking little pub in Rochdale with tasty, affordable grub and friendly vibes, but it's not perfect – expect some service slip-ups alongside the wins.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – incredibly welcoming and professional, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates.
  • Fantastic value for money with loads of deals, like 50% off pizzas and burgers, and even 2 for £14 cocktails, which makes it a wallet-friendly spot.
  • The food is a real highlight, especially the fresh dough pizzas and carvery roasts – they're spot on when done right, and there's plenty of family-friendly options to boot.
  • It's got a great atmosphere for a relaxed day out, whether you're popping in for an all-you-can-eat breakfast or a evening meal, and they support local charities, which is a nice touch.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; some dishes turn up dry or overcooked, like rock-hard roast potatoes, which is a real shame after spending your hard-earned cash.
  • Service can drag on with long waits for things like sides or plates, often because they're short-staffed and focused on online orders, leaving meals to go cold.
  • Tables aren't always cleaned up promptly after the previous group, which can make the place feel a bit untidy when you're settling in.

  • They've got fun extras like a pool table and darts, which add a bit of entertainment without overwhelming the vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • One of the bar staff, apparently the Welsh chap, doesn't seem to crack a smile much, which can put a slight dampener on things.
  • The beer garden has had issues with wasps in the summer, which might spoil your outdoor experience if you're not a fan.
  • There's a strict no-mobile policy, which some might find a bit old-school and restrictive when you're trying to catch up with mates.
  • Operating hours aren't clearly listed, and it might be tricky to know if it's open, so you'd want to check ahead to avoid disappointment.

The White Lion is a cheerful pub in Rochdale that's buzzing with events and friendly vibes, but it does have the odd hiccup with staff interactions.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking atmosphere with karaoke and disco nights that really get the weekend going – perfect for a fun night out.
  • The pub's been given a fresh makeover by the landlord, with nice decorations for events like Halloween and Christmas, making it feel welcoming and lively.
  • You can enjoy a top-quality pint, like the San Miguel that's been raved about, all at an inexpensive price.
  • It's a great spot for a casual get-together with a fun-loving crowd, especially if you're visiting family in Rochdale.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few reports of rude behaviour from the bouncer and some staff, which could spoil your evening and make you think twice about going back.
  • Entry issues have cropped up, like in one review where someone was turned away unfairly, which isn't ideal for a smooth night.
  • With an overall rating of 3.5, it's clear there are inconsistencies, and not every visit might live up to the hype.
