Light Sociable Cinema

Redrock, Bridgefield Street, Stockport SK1 1RY

Lunchtime Meals

Evening Meals

You don't need to be going to see a film to use the bar which is located on the right hand side of the airy modern foyer. Furnishings include some comfy seats near the far end of the bar whilst other wooden tables and chairs are located nearby. Food is served all day. The wooden floored foyer also contains a piano and across the other side is a soft drinks bar, offering light snacks which you would expect to find in a cinema such as popcorn as well as ice creams, and sweets. All these can be taken into the cinema screens as can drinks from the bar - and in proper glasses too! A single handpump dispensing changing cask ales from Robinsons was located on the right hand side of the curved bar near the coffee machine although it was envisaged to move it to a more central location. In late 2018, availability of cask ale was sporadic and in mid-2019 it was eventually dropped altogether. History: this ten screen fully accessible independent cinema opened on 28/11/17 in the new Redrock development in Stockport Town Centre.

Berretto Lounge

Redrock, Bridgefield Street, Stockport SK1 1RY

Lunchtime Meals

Opened in January 2018, this is the fourth Greater Manchester outlet for southern-based group, Loungers. Has more of a cafe-bar than a pub atmosphere, but that is how it sets its stall out. Food consists of tapas, burgers and specials. They also do a range of teas, coffees and cakes. Decor is vivid in a 1930s/40s style with almost every piece of wall space taken up with an artwork or mirror of some sort, many of the paintings / photos seem to be portraits of the owners' grandparents. Plenty of seating is available for both dining and drinking. History: opened 22/1/18.

Wellington

59-61 Wellington Road South, Stockport SK1 3RU

Real Fire

Fronting the busy A6 road, and opposite the former Grand Central complex, this comfortable and welcoming pub has been created out of two shop units. The exterior has full-height windows either side of the entrance; these can be opened in warmer weather to create a cafe feel to the place. Inside you will find exposed structural steelwork married to bare brick walls, and sanded wooden flooring; these are coupled to displays of clocks (none showing the right time, incidently), bookshelves, old radios, and plenty of mirrors. Two wood-burning stoves add warmth in cooler periods. The front room has a mix of dining room furniture and sofas, then down three steps you get to the "Snubbery" which is a more intimate and relaxing space - this has sofas and coffee tables. This also gives access to the toilets, and to the outside drinking yard, dubbed the "Courtyard". A TV above the front room fireplace usually shows music videos. Weekends see entertainment in the form of a DJ soul and Motown evening on Friday, and live artists performing on Saturdays. Lunchtime food is planned for the future. History: opened by owners Lee and Donna on 14/5/18 in former William Hill betting shop premises.

Project 53

22 Market Place, Stockport SK1 1EU

Dog Friendly

Set in former retail premises opposite the imposing Victorian market hall. Owned by Cheshire brewer, Mobberley Brewhouse, the conversion runs the full depth of the ground floor of the building. A rustic interior has been created with grey decor mixing with bare boards, and a liberal spreading of reclaimed planking to adorn walls and form the bar. High seating and an open space for vertical drinking at the front leads to the bar set to the left, it has a wall of eleven key-keg taps behind it. To balance this there are three handpulls for cask prominently placed on the bar. Mostly a stand-up area in front of the bar with the wooden barrels being used as tables. To the rear are normal height tables and seating as befits a more relaxed environment. Beyond this in a vestibule is the pizza kitchen; here light streams in from the rear aspect to illuminate the area. Food consists of pizzas only, although snacks, nuts etc are available from the bar. The unusual name is because both the bar and Mobberley Brewhouse lie just north of the 53rd degree line of latitude. Dogs are permitted at all times - children only until 7pm! History: opened for business on 16/8/18.

Angel Inn

20 Market Place, Stockport SK1 1EY

Real Cider Available

Re-opened in late 2018 after a 67 year period of being closed in its original guise (as a Bell's Brewery tied house). Locally owned and run by local people who care about cask beer and the environment in which it is presented. They have totally transformed the redundant space, and a former shop next door in to a multi-room pub. Very well decorated with a mix of plain colours, married with wood panelling here and there. A sunken seating area with real fire and sofas adds an air of comfort and class to the establishment. The extensive yard will be a drinking area-cum-entertainment space where it is planned that bands will play from time to time. A most welcome further addition to the drinking scene in Stockport. History: opened 23/11/18.

Produce Hall

22 Market Place, Stockport SK1 1EU

Lunchtime Meals

Evening Meals

The former fish and meat market, re-imagined, set right in the very heart of the town's market place. The Grade II listed structure (opened in the mid-1800s) now hosts a variety of stalls around the perimeter of the building, selling their prepared dishes, refectory style, to the central-situated seating area. The beer offering is of the keg and craft keg variety, all delivered from a wall-mounted array of twelve fonts. Whether cask ale will eventually make an appearance, remains to be seen. History: opened 2/4/19 in former market hall premises by local restauranteur and entrepreneur, Steve Pilling and his team.

Corner Bar

Market Hall, Market Place, Stockport SK1 1UN

Somewhat inconspicuous, and almost anonymous bar set in the north west corner of the Victorian market hall. Availability of cask ale from the two unmarked wickets on the small bar can be sporadic. Shared seating area with other businesses in the hall. History: opened summer of 2016.

Cracked Actor

28 Little Underbank, Stockport SK1 1JT

Real Cider Available

Close to Railway Station

Describing itself as a small bar, with a big Blues attitude! Owned and operated by Joe Patten; he spent many months restoring this former Victorian two storey building back to what it may have looked like; this included installing a period-effect staircase, coving, flooring, and chandeliers. The result echoes the building's past: it was a general store, and hat shop. Sewing machine tables have been re-purposed, plus a bar designed to look like a Victorian pharmacy counter. Both floors are in use, the upper one having a lot more space. To the side of the bar are eight keg lines serving craft keg beers such as Delirium Tremens, the bar's own "Cracked Actor Lager", made by Delirium in Belgium, a range of craft ales from Tiny Rebel, plus a small selection of canned beers. The bar also has its own Cracked Hatter Gin, made by Stockport's Hatters Gin, as well as a selection of spirits from Manchester's Zymurgorium distillery, along with wine and cider. It hosts regular live music nights which may extend to nightly. History: opened 28/8/19 in the former Barkers hat shop premises; in the 1800s it was a general store, this influenced the overall look and theme, hence all the chemists drawers, and paraphenalia. The bar's name hints of owner, Joe's prior career as an actor.
