Busy pub opposite Buxton Opera House and refurbished in November 2024. Many years ago it was a Gentlemen's Club. Generally four real ales are available, including a house beer from Greene King. On entering through the main door the bar is directly in front and there is a comfortable seating area to the right with display cases and a log-burning stove. Various TV screens show sporting events. To the left of the bar is a separate room, mainly used for dining. Disabled access is available into this room. Upstairs can be found a further two large rooms and bar, with two cask ales available (usually a repeat of those on the main bar). The Union Club, closed in 1969, was reopened in about 1984 as The Old Clubhouse, a public bar.

Historic Interest

Grade II-listed building. Built in 1886 as a gentleman's club. Designed and built by local architect William Bryden. Originally known as the Union Club, it provided a holiday retreat for visiting members of any well-known London clubs.

Information for this venue is provided by the High Peak, Tameside & North East Cheshire Branch of CAMRA
