| Hi Boddies_drinker. Take your point, anyone can have a bad day, so called back again for a second look 1 month on. Olde worlde pub with a lot of character. Beer improved but still reasonable rather than exceptional. Agree its a valiant attempt to promote real Ale, and in yuppeeland that must be hard. However think they should concentrate on 3 or 4 real ales and do them well rather that 11 that are so variable. That being said on second visit Bank Top Port o' Call was nectar, Bank Top Volunteer good, 2 George Wright's ok to good, Theakstons best bitter just ok. All served in a combination of Guinness, Magners, John Smith Smooth glasses. I don't look for branded glasses, but the magners shape doesnt suit real ale! The scottish lady (landlady?) behind the bar was charming and the pub was a lot brighter than the last visit. AlRobis - 13 Jul 2008 11:35 |
| Bit unfair AIRobis, the problem with the Tavern is it also tries to cater for the non-CAMRA members who like a glass of beer but are also looking for something different from a pub e.g. live music or something along those lines. The other problem with branded glasses is that they tend to walk and I guess to get a fair picture you would have to have commented on the 7 beers that you didn't try.(The Orange Tree across the way can have 2-3 crackers one night and on the next visit you'd be better off asking for vinegar). There aren't enough CAMRA types to make a pub solely viable on that basis given the competition in Altrincham. If it's fancy glasses and posh beers that you're after then try Morte Surbite although make sure you've popped in to see your local bank manager before you pay a visit. boddies_drinker - 30 Jun 2008 13:38 |
| Sorry not impressed, advertised 12 real ales, 11 were available, tried 5, Jennings Cockerhoop poor, London Pride Ok, Bank Top Volunteer fine, Marstons Burton Bitter ok but Everards Beacon wouldnt wash my underwear in! Grubby place! Real ale served in Magners glass. Sorry Trafford CAMRA if this the best you can find I pity you! AlRobis - 29 Jun 2008 14:34 |
| Visited this pub for first time on my first visit to Alrincham. Really good place for real ale enthusiasts. 10 out of 11 handpulls operational. Mainly Archers of Swindon and Bank Top of Bolton. Had a beer from each brewer. Both in tiptop condition. Will definitely visit again whenever next in Altrincham. IanC - 15 Mar 2007 20:38 |
| I've only paid a midweek visit but it was an excellent experience. 7 out of 10 ales were on and the Bank Top was in excellent condition. Very friendly, too. EFC1878 - 11 Dec 2006 21:30 |
