Nice bar / cafe in Ramsbottom, very cosy and friendly with great service. I didn't eat here, just had a couple of drinks and it was a very pleasant place to spend an hour or two.

Tuesday 6th June 2023 This micro cafe bar served 2 good handpumped ales on tonight the place was very easy going and the bar was clean and well looked after with good bar staff At the rear of this bar was a good outdoor drinking area which really was a sun trap When come to Ramsbottom I would encourage real ale drinkers to use this intricate little drinking den

Lovely atmosphere, with a quaint beer garden at the back. Set just on one of the main streets, has a wood burning fire for cold winter evenings. Has a great selection of lager and ales, plus a collection of gins and cocktails
