Withington Public Hall & Institute
2 Burton Road, Withington M20 3ED
As of 2021, run as a "more-than-profit" social enterprise, with all profits reinvested in the building and used for community initiatives, the 'Whippy' is a welcome addition to the Withington area. Downstairs is a small wood-panelled snug and a much larger room, formerly occupied by a snooker table, which is used as a performance space, drinking area and is where you will find the on-site pizzeria. A further room is upstairs. A variety of events, workshops and exhibitions (such as cinema, art classes, markets, comedy, quizzes, and more...) are held here with the aim of becoming a focal point for the whole local community. Vegetarian Sunday lunches are also available to take away or eat in. Apart from the cask beers, there are four guest kegs and a variety of cans from local craft breweries.
Southside
445-447 Wilmslow Road, Withington M20 4AN
Re-opened as Southside on 6/7/2020, a bright new look for a taco and tequila Mexican-inspired bar. This concentrates on spirits and food, so no real ale. History: Re-opened in August 2015 with a name change to Solomon's Cafe Bar, a fresh new look, and good to say it was selling cask beer once more. That however was short-lived, with the cask dropped in early 2017. Following an earlier refurbishment in late 2012, the then Solomon Grundy was extended to the rear. It was a modern bar with a Bohemian appeal with full-height windows to the front letting in plenty of natural light, and allowing customers a view of bustling Wilmslow Road. There was a bar to the front which extended to the rear, open area which was a bit of a sun-trap. A downstairs area was used at times for music and DJ nights. Along with beers, they also offered a selection of wines, and cocktails, alongside food in the form of bagels, crepes and pizzas.
Victoria
438 Wilmslow Road, Withington M20 3BW
Built in the late 1800’s before being bought by Hydes in 1904 and extended into the adjoining off licence in the 1980’s. The period exterior with its etched glass windows hides a large open-plan compartmentalised interior. This area mixes local residents with one of the largest student populations in Europe, who bolster the trade in the evenings. This mix of clientele ensures that the pub is busy at lunchtimes and can be packed in the evenings. The pub also benefits from big screen sports and is an increasingly popular venue for watching the game. It boasts enthusiastic darts teams, alternating live music (first Saturday of month is Motown) and a disco / DJ (Fri) and weekly quiz nights (Thu) when competition between students and locals can be boisterous but is always good-natured. At the rear of the pub there is an attractive outdoor beer patio where you can enjoy a cold drink in the sunshine. Recently sensitively refurbished by Hydes, the Victoria now increasingly also sells guest beers and traditional ciders. Typically the pub will sell Hydes core range together with four or more guest beers, often from micro breweries. Ciders are Westons Old Rosie plus two changing ciders.
Hare & Hounds
Walcot Road, Withington SY4 4PY
Although the Hare & Hounds is only some 8 miles from Shrewsbury centre and even less from Wellington, the journey through narrow country lanes suggests an incursion into the deepest of Shropshire countryside. It became a free house in February 2013 having been bought from Admiral Taverns. The internal layout is open plan, although its various snugs suggest it was once multi-roomed. This is definitely not a "destination" pub as the overall feel is of a comfortable, traditional local which is popular with the community and maybe even some followers from further afield! There are teams based here, including an archery club. There's a Bring and Buy Back book corner and dogs are welcome except when food is being served. The "plain" toilets have been replaced by quite swish facilities with a picture on the Gents wall of the mural that used to be there. In its time it has been owned by the Wrekin Brewery of Wellington, together with the Shrewsbury & Wem Brewery.
