The Old Market Tavern, Altrincham

Ok pub. It does have a lot of beer but it isn't always kept well and if you are unlucky and get a dodgy pint the staff will never believe you and refuse to take it back.

The bands on a weekend are good and it's a huge pub so always plenty of space to sit down. The quiz on a Wednesday is a bit basic and normally doesn't start until after any football that is on.

The Griffin, Bowdon

This is a nice pub. Plenty of room to sit down and normally have a couple of ale on which tend to be kept ok. The staff are nice and it now has TVs to keep you entertained. There is an ok quiz on a Thurs as well, although the same teams do seem to win every time. The food is normally nice, but as with all pubs like this you may get the odd time where it's not so good.

The Victoria, Altrincham

Whilst not a pub in it's own right you can definitely go in for just a drink so not sure what happened with the people below. It has a restaurant area and a bar area, though it does do a lunch menu in the bar area so maybe it doesn't like drinkers in the day. It is also a small bar area so if you're in a big group it might not be interested.

It is however a lovely place to sit and have a drink. The staff are very friendly and is one of the few places in Altrincham that has ale on and keeps it well. It is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and won't be invaded by chavs. It also does amazing food if you do want to go out for something to eat.
