Opened in 2016 this Microbar is well served by public transport. The railway station is a two minute walk and the 17 bus stop to Rochdale is literally outside the front door. Five quality beers are sold plus a good selection of ciders, wines and gin always available. Food is not on sale, but you can bring your own. The bar is dog friendly and there is a well laid out beer garden at the rear.

Information for this venue is provided by the Rochdale Oldham & Bury Branch of CAMRA
