The Faulkners Arms, Altrincham
This place seems to be back under new management, They have a poster outside offering discounted beers so it could be worth a visit now that Altrincham's rudest man is no longer at the helm!

Well, having not visited for a year or so, my friends and I decided to give this place a call last Friday (20/1/12) the pub seemed lively and had a good atmosphere, and despite waiting at the bar in a conspicuous position for a good few minutes, the middle aged bar maid managed to ignore the 3 of us and serve AT LEAST 4 regulars who came to the bar after us! Cannot comment on quality of drinks as we decided our money would be better spent in the Old Market Tavern!

Enjoying something of a new lease of life back under control of Altrincham's serial landlord Jake, ex of Wheasheaf, Hale Con Club, The Bakers and erm..HERE! The pub is clean, well stocked and according to the sign on the door, the hoodie/tracksuit brigade bemoaned in the last post are no longer welcome. There are always at least 2 Cask ales on, The pub had been awarded Cask Marque status too... Beers tend to be the pricier end of the scale though. Plenty of TV's now for watching the footy - Very busy when UTD are on - shows all the games via foreign satellite too! No food anymore but no chavs/dickheads either... Quiz night on a Thursday seems well attended. There is also a fortnightly Irish Night on a Sunday that arracts a good following. No pool table, Cavernous smoking area, and a no children policy make for a good, well run boozer. Oh and he has the trademark barmaids he was known for at the Wheatsheaf!

Whatsoever, While it's true the vault can be a little "lively" at times, It's no worse than any other pub vault. The "Best Side" is your typical town pub, a mix of all kinds from old seasoned drinkers to couples out for a quiet evening together. They have a good quiz night on a Monday, a pub football team and a pool team if you're that way inclined. The food, whilst not going to win any awards, is always hot, generously portioned and very reasonably priced. For value for money drinks you cannot fault the bar prices, with Carlsberg currently �1:70 a pint and many offers and promotions. The pub does not show Sky TV so if you're looking to avod football crowds in a pub on match days - this could be ideal. Hope this helps!
