This is a family-run, award-winning establishment that focuses on quality and choice. Boasting fourteen handpumps for beer, complemented by up to twelve craft and membrane keg beers, and a large foreign bottled range. Digital beer boards display all current beers on sale. It has a bustling vault to the left, leading to a lower pool room (where you can view the micro-brewery), and a series of rooms separated by arched 'magnet' doorways on the right. An extensive outdoor area, part-covered, part open, allows drinkers to marvel at Stockport's historic railway viaduct. The twin-storey beer terrace and function room are well used and popular. The upstairs room opens at busy times and weekends; a pizza vendor operates over weekend evenings from 5.30pm, order them from the purpose-built shack at the rear of the premises. The in-house microbrewery (originally named Watts Brewing, but renamed as Mount Crescent as of 1/12/2022) produces seasonal ales, it opened on 14/11/2014 to coincide with the pub's fifth birthday since re-opening as a free-house.
Historic Interest

In 1949 it became a Wilsons Brewery house following merger with Walker & Homfray's Brewery, originally it was a Daniel Clifton & Co house, it was one of the pubs involved in pub-swap to John Smiths in the 1990s.
