Tiviot, Stockportback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Long since demolished. There is now a large office block where it once stood.

The 'Tivvy' closed in late 2013 and is much missed. Like many of Robinson's less-fashionable pubs, it was a victim of chronic under-investment and the building now looks as if it will fall down before they get chance to knock it down.

A friendly welcome and pleasant atmosphere at this Robinson's house. Interior fittings are classic 1960s pub refurb! Three Robbie's ales on pump - Unicorn, 1892 and Tom & Berry, plus a small cask of Old Tom on the bar.

Report from Stockport night out 31 March 2012: The Tiviot was the quietest pub during the evenings beer tour. A pint of Robinsons Unicorn was sampled and was found to be on good form. This is a gem of a pub recently saved from demolition due to pending redevelopment of the nearby shopping area.

nice pub

Town-centre Robinsons pub with a deserved repuation for being a timewarp. The exterior is quite striking-bright blue and cream plasterwork. Inside, the atmosphere is straight out of the 1950s, with a slightly musty smell (pleasant, though- like your Grandma's) and mature clientele. It also used to get very smoky, but no longer of course. The high-ceilinged, long bar extends up the left of the entrance corridor, with a separate vault behind this. To the right is a front snug and a rear lounge room, both traditionally furnished with upholstered wall seating and wooden tables. The lounge has peculiar bannister-style spindles separating it from the entrance corridor. The pub has been opened out to an extent but the atmosphere is still very much one of a traditional multi-roomed pub.
Drinks-wise, the pub is much the same as all the other town-centre Robbies outlets, with the ubiquitous Unicorn plus another Robbies beer and a seasonal. Always in good form on my visits though. No food served other than lunchtime sandwiches.
Considering Stockport's strengths as a traditional boozer town, this isn't a must visit pub, but if you like a pint in a traditional environment this will be just up your street. It makes a nice traditional crawl combined with the Swan With Two Necks around the corner, and might not be here forever.
