| As usual, Roger B's reviews say most of what needs saying, but I will add that the Sam's OBB is now £ 1.32p a pint - outrageous ! It's a small pub - but bigger than it looks from outside - with a narrow bar area which makes getting to the cosy quieter rooms at the back a bit difficult. Even at 11.15 am last Friday morning, I had to gently squeeze slowly past the locals to get to the splendid alcoved snug at the rear. Unfortunately, what with just the one staff member on duty, I felt unable to ask to be shown what is reputedly the smallest toilet in Europe ( according to the Stockport town centre heritage trail leaflet - in which the Queens Head is landmark number 20 ) In common with most Sam's Smith's pubs nowadays, the Sam Smith's external signage has been removed and the photo on this site is now out of date. As Roger B says, if you like traditional unspoilt pubs, do visit this one. It's situated virtually directly under St Petersgate Bridge ( from which steps lead down to Little Underbank ) JohnBonser - 29 Jul 2008 13:07 |
| Good beer and cider, too. Very busy bar area. Quiet lounge. Friendly customers. doncaosdelanada - 3 Feb 2008 20:06 |
| A wonderful, if somewhat cramped, pub with a fantastic unaltered interior that has been recognised by its inclusion in the CAMRA inventory. A Sam Smiths pub so that means ridiculously cheap prices - £1.26 for a pint of Old Brewery Bitter is beyond the comprehension of someone who rarely gets change from £3. Friendly if rather overworked barmaid although the customer base can be a little worse for wear but at these prices I would easily go down the same path. The main bar is quaintly small with room for a table in the window and a couple opposite the bar. Beyond the bar area is a wonderful little snug and beyond this a slightly larger room at the rear of the pub. There are plenty of paneled walls and several wooden division screens but the most interesting features are probably the old wine / spirit / cordial dispensaries behind the bar, although they do not appear to be functional. Only the lack of smoke reminds you that this is the 21st century and is probably the only thing to have changed in generations although the old photo behind the bar suggests that some of the tiling behind the bar may have either been added recently or restored back to its original state. There are a few interesting old local maps in the doorway and a few old pictures, portraits and clippings in the main bar. This is a real museum piece and well worth going out of the way for if you like traditional unspoilt pubs. RogerB - 17 Aug 2007 14:52 |
| Fantastic pub- lovely interior in an interesting location, belting cheap ale and good bar snacks- sandwiches and the like. Like many pubs in Stockport, a must. Carlurmston - 2 Aug 2007 22:30 |
| I love this pub. It's impossibly small and cosy but it's a very friendly town centre beauty. Very cheap beer and very friendly bar staff. EFC1878 - 3 Dec 2006 11:48 |
