Sorry to nit pick with some of the above. The original owner of Le Trappiste Bar (Wyn Reece) moved 50 yards away and is now running the Mort Subite bar in the cellar further along Greenwood St. Le Trappiste was then taken over by Martin, who then moved it to Shaws Rd.
I feel the presence of 3 European/ Belgian bars in close proximity adds to the flavour of the Altrincham beer scene and is a good thing.
Each offers something slightly different so the best thing to do is to get the tram to Alty and find out for yourselves.
This bar has a good food offering and a cosy fireplace in the winter.

Please don't be confused, by the Belgian Bar at 40, Greenwood St. This is not Le Trappiste, Le Trappiste has moved just down the street to 18, Shaws Rd, It is Altrincham's original and by far the best Belgian Beer Cafe. They have over 150 fantastic Belgian beers, as well as over 20 English real ales. The bar operating at Le Trappiste's old site, is masquerading and trying to live off Le Trappiste's reputation, which has been built up over the years. It is the best by far, try for yourself if you've not been yet.

The previous post is spot on (apart from a slight mispelling of the name).

This bar is now called the Belgian Bar and has new owners. It is a poor (and considerably more expensive) imitation of the orignal La Trappiste.

The original owners of La Trappiste have opened La Trappe Cafe on Shaw Street Altrincham (turn right out of the old bar and it is facing you). There you will find the same warm welcome as always, great selection of reasonably priced beers and an even better atmosphere than the 'old' bar.

So if you are passing the Belgian Bar keep walking and give your support to La Trappe Cafe. THE ORIGNAL AND BEST!!!!

Belgian Bar has opened at this address now - not sure if it is the same bar with a different name or new owners?

I read in Mtero News that this place has now shut down but is hoping to reopne in a new location shortly.
