This Pub is Permanently Closed

Demolished 1/8/1995, site is now housing. Closed 1/8/1995. History: Former Hardy's, latterly Bass house. In May 1989 it became the tied pub and brewery for the Dobbin's West Coast Brewery. Later on as trade increased the brewery was moved to the nearby fromer King William IV pub as that building offered more space. Opening Times magazine Jan 1990 described the Kings thus "Get out your new 1990 diaries now, and mark Thursday, January 25th for a very special Pub of the Month award at the King's Arms, Helmshore Walk, Chorlton-on-Medlock or "Brendan's", as it's more simply known to many devotees. Always first with the news, OT readers learnt in March 1989 of a new home-brew pub in the area, and by the end of the month, though the pub was not yet open, two of the beers were on sale- at Stockport Beer Festival' The pub opened in mid-May 1989, and proved an instant success with both locals and travelling beer drinkers. And in truth, while even with average beer this well-refurbished pub could show many inner-city locals a thing or two, the beer is without any doubt the main event. Brendan Dobbin's drive and commitment to quality shine through, not just in the three ales and Guiltless Stout, but even in the two draught and two bottled lagers. And that's even before you start talking of the one-off 'special' beers like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, where Brendan's zeal for authenticity really shows. In short, the King's Arms is a unique pub embodying, very successfully, a personal vision. Get there as often as you can - but particularly on Thursday 25th, when a splendid evening is in store".

Opening Times magazine Sept 1995 reported closed and boarded.
