Belgian Bar, Altrincham

Pretty good i thought, good tapas not too noisy and loutish. I wouldn't have said it was ideally sized to bring a massive dog into though, as one patron did on Friday. Great beers, surprisingly good food (tapas). Could maybe do with more food choices other than the tapas though?

The Bridge Inn, Altrincham

never been to this pub, but I did feel a bit sad when I found out it had been demolished to make way for Altair (if it is still to be called that). It is sat on the edge of a road, so surely it could have been kept as wouldn't have obstructed the development? If they can keep old and new together in Manchester city centre then surely they could do it in Alty. That said, the clientele looked rough as old boots, judging by those outside whenever I drove past.

Mort Subite, Altrincham

absolutely love this place, they have a vast selection and whilst occasionally things are out of stock, it doesn't detract. Great atmosphere, not for everyone I agree. Definitely a thinking man or woman's bar. I laughed at the previous poster's comment that the detractors would be happier in unicorn, and I wholeheartedly agree! It can be expensive, but it's because of the product they sell. Some of the beers are very unusual. There is however a wide range of priced beers. If price is your main consideration when out for a drink, rather than what you are actually drinking, then you are best elsewhere. Oh and it's wheat crunchies - chosen for their salty taste to oppose the beer!
