landlord approached us claiming we were swearing and said and showed us his knife i have been there many times before the games at stockport county with no issues and this is the first time ever after the game.

Always a good laugh,with good company and good beer at a fab old school pub .

This used to be such a lovely, friendly, welcoming pub that offered a great choice of real ales. Sadly no more. New, aggressive landlord and only half the pumps working. And the pub was virtually empty. Tells you all you need to know. Real shame.

Traditional real ale pub serving the local community. Friendly and welcoming. Very cosy. Serving several well kept ales. Open from 5. Recommended for a nice pint.

A quirky, friendly little pub, always has a great selection of very well kept real ales. I always enjoy a night out in the Vic.

Great characterful place good beer.

Ye Olde Vic in Stockport is a fantastic traditional pub that every beer enthusiast should experience. Their selection of cask beers is excellent, with a great range to suit all tastes. The bar snacks, including pickled onions and pickled eggs, add to the charm, but what’s even better is that they allow you to bring your own food to enjoy with your drink! The cozy open fire, friendly locals, and welcoming atmosphere make it feel like a true home away from home. If you're after a warm, no-fuss pub experience, Ye Olde Vic is the perfect spot!

Great selection of beers (and crisps). One of my favourite pubs. Will definitely be back. Nice in winter when the fire’s going. Also good on match days - it’s a good spot for away fans that like their beer and very convenient for the station . Can always get served, even when it’s busy. The sign of a good pub.

Strangely closed looking pub near the train station with a couple of ales on and some good crisps (Inc lancashire sauce!) The beer we had was top quality and this place is well worth a visit for the ales and plane spotting

Food is a snack wall. New beers all the time and the list is constantly updated. Such a friendly place with wonderful people. No swearing allowed which is nice as it's a family (and pet) friendly pub. Massive range of gins and whiskies as well as a good choice of vodka and other spirits. Traditional setting which sadly is so lacking on these Lego brick pubs which keep popping up. They also have board games.

Saturday 27th July 2024 This is a great older fashioned real ale pub It's handy for Stockport Train Station. The pub has old-fashioned small rooms inside good barstaff and a lovely old bar. There was 3 hand pumped ales on today, and the pub was full of friendly locals

As I understand it, the pub is now under new management after having had a funny reputation with the old landlord — anyway, the place is very rundown, and quite smelly. Also the beer garden is just as bad. Hard to recommend the place to be honest… and whilst it’s better than it not being available at all, the Guinness was in a can. So again, nothing to recommend… unless you like pubs that look derelict

Great people and cosy atmosphere. Good old fashioned pub 🍻

Wasn’t a great experience, quite the opposite. Very unwelcoming environment.

Guy behind the bar is the most aggressive man Iv ever met kicked us out for having a skateboard!! Grabbed my friend round the neck and threw us all out!! Awful man

We had a couple of pints at the pub. Randomly the landlord (though we didn’t know it at the time) came over with a framed ‘no foul language’ sign - we questioned this and said we hadn’t known. He lost his temper and asked us to leave. We went to leave and the landlord grabbed our friend by the neck and pounded him on the chest saying ‘I’ll break your neck’. I asked that we can just leave as this was in the doorway and was told you’re leaving although I couldn’t leave as my friend was being assaulted in the doorway. Very strange encounter coming after sitting there for an hour, very out of the blue and very aggressive. Not a good look. Edit to respond: We did not threaten your staff, we were threatened and our friend was actually assaulted. If we understood your rules going in we would have respected them, don’t aggressively approach customers enjoying your pub after an hour of sitting as if we should have known. I’m also concerned we were approached by someone who wasn’t the landlord - maybe try to control your dad from assaulting customers as they leave.

My friends and I came to this pub and as we were sat in an area of the pub, we were approached by a man who accosted us about “foul language”. He was very agressive and abusive towards us, grabbing my partner by the neck and threatening him. He told my partner he would “break his neck”, after telling us that “swearing was the precursor to violence”. Before this, we’d been sat in a section of the pub talking amongst ourselves and doing nothing to bother the other patrons. It was truly bizarre, frightening and hostile. Had the landlord made it clear that there was an issue with swearing when we walked in the door, we would have adhered to this rule. I wouldn’t recommend this pub to anyone as it is not a safe space to be in for anyone. Edit: Extra pro tip: No one threatened the staff on the way out. We were shocked to be threatened in such a way by the staff in such an alarming fashion. Regardless, swearing does not warrant being choked or physically manhandled by anyone. This is assault as none of us ever laid a hand on any member of staff or clientele. I would like to reiterate that if there was a policy in this pub about swearing, it should be made clear on arrival, on the door of the pub and within the main areas of the pub. We would have happily complied with this directive if it was eminently clear. We recommend being transparent in your rules In order to avoid further issues.

Not very safe space to be fair. Would not recommend if you are not local.

Great little boozer just that little bit out of town ceneeter which is a good thing because it keeps all the undesirable clientele away a pub for discerning drinkers

Great atmosphere, beers and a real fire

Great place to have a drink and chill. Feels like you're in your own lounge! Nice people who run it too.

Very friendly welcoming staff. Real wood fire and a great pint. Don't think they serve food.

My favourite local pub. So cosy, warm by the fire, friendly staff. Love the decor, never change please!

Just a couple of minutes walk from Stockport station is this little traditional pub with the best beer in the area. Hope I can get back there again soon.

Fantastic traditional pub with very well kept cask beer.

a great venue for folk to catch up over a pint

Still a hidden Gem in Stockport. Great selection of ale ang dog friendly. Cracking start to the night.

Incredible local community run pub, just moved to the area and super excited to have this place as my local. The landlord is incredibly funny and welcoming and the atmosphere was great.

It's a great pub. Community owned, with a good local feel. Everyone we spoke to were really welcoming.

Great cosy pub with friendly owner.

It's a really old pub abit of a " local " the people were nice enough but it was very quiet and most people sat around the bar making it awkward together served. The serving person was nice but new and took ages to get round to serving. But overall experience was positive

Good beer. Nice atmosphere, lots of people enjoying the selections of beer. Nice community pub.

Doesn't change ..good selection of beers..cosy atmosphere...love it .

A really good pub to visit after a game at County. Friendly to home and away fans.

On of ye finnest casks I've had on my trip to England. A super local pub, let Steve, Andy or Rob tell you about the local beer culture and some local jokes. I will never forget my visit to this pub in Stockport.

Lovely little old school boozer!

Brilliant pub very good range of beers and the people and staff made me welcome 1st class local

Great pub with lots of unique features.

love this place the beer is always good and the welcome warm.

This is a great pub, with quite a degree of history trying to survive. It's a pub that often might look shut to the uninitiated but just try the door. It's friendly, mental on nights when Stockport County are playing & understandably so Cask beer range, fantastic the bar is well stocked & just go & try!

A good old fashioned type of pub, which I enjoyed.

Fantastic, friendly pub. Good ale pub with coal fire

Great traditional boozer. Range of ales

Friendly welcome as first time here,chatty staff and a decent choice of drinks and fair prices. Old fashioned pub in a bit of a time rut to be honest, but was clean and unique to see places like this still exist.

Friendly and interesting local pub. Good range of real ale. 21 years in the Good Beer Guide.and recognized by CAMRA.

A good solid pub with decent beer!

Primarily a locals pub with a quirky interior and equally quirky welcome. Cask ale is to the fore with up to six real ales always on offer, plus a cider. Saved from extinction a few years ago by a buyout by local people interested in saving this gem for others to enjoy. Underwent a thorough refurbishment during the Covid 19 lockdown period to save the structure of the building and make it weather-tight. The interior was completely redecorated in a sympathetic style as well. On Stockport County match-days, it can get very busy. Recommended. Best real fire in Stockport, and possibly Manchester...

Very unique and great atmosphere. Great beers. Love it!

As the name suggests old world, locally owned, good selection of cask beers

Wonderful pub and welcoming management. :)

A gem , Great selection , Lovely laid back atmosphere,

Great little pub. Good real ales - reasonable prices

Great pub with really nice beers and a very nice people behind the bar. There was a folk band on and it was really pleasant.

Good selection of ales to choose from and served in excellent condition

Hi it's a vary friendly pub with open fire when it's cold and with lot,s of real ales the best thing is stockport county drink in there, the history of the pub is the customers own it between them self,s well worth a visit cheers 🤓⚽️🍺🍺👍

Old school pub with proper ale, friendly atmosphere and staff 🍻

Nice atmosphere and good beer from local brewers

What a lovely little pub! Nice selection of beers on tap and always on rotation. Great bunch of locals and a roaring fire, so some good chat while staying cosy. Games on offer and a nice outside area too.

What a belting boozer! Can't believe this was my first time visiting. Will definitely be back

Excellent beer selection and very friendly staff and customers. Unlike any other pub in the area (country?!) Small, intimate and friendly. Great range of constantly rotating cask. Mostly older crowd

Great, traditional pub with lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and locals and good beer choice.

Belting boozer, very welcoming with a fine choice of real ale and Cider.

Nice friendly pub really close to stockport Station with an open fire to keep you toasty.

Its a proper real pub with a fantastic atmosphere and very friendly staff and clientele! New number one local!! Yah!!!

Close to the train station, we found this when we have a short gap between trains. Cosy, friendly, just what you want from a pub. Good choice of ales

Stopped in for a quick pint whilst waiting for a train! Jovial landlord, friendly locals, warm atmosphere and a nice pint of bitter!

Almost a textbook definition of idiosyncratic, this is a simply marvellous pub. You can expect the beer offering (cask) to focus on the pale side of things and the condition of the beers is excellent. There is an abundance of little artefacts that help to make this place (by no means a big pub, yet no worse for that) unique and the bar is a classic of its type. It's also adjacent to Stockport station and the music selection will throw up a nice mixture of classic songs and a bit of cheese.

Fantastic bar, great atmosphere, excellent staff and wide variety of booze

Nice pub with most entertaining Landlord!

The landlady was kind, the drink choice was great (lots of gins in particular), and the place had real character. Plus it is very close to the station.

Friendly little place selling craft beers, bit off the beaten track.

Great atmosphere great staff and great beer couldn't wish for more 👍🏻

Great beer as usual, well kept, drank the 'crop circles. Pleasant chats with other customers, great traditional boozer

Simply a great, friendly, old fashioned small real ale pub. Real fire on winter evenings and dog friendly

My go to pub for a quiet, friendly pint. Easy for the hours to drift by. Ale is kept superbly and always a good choice.

When you walk in this pub you may think it's a cross between a building site & a jumble sale but feel the welcome & taste the beer then nothing else matters. Full of character & well worth a visit.

Absolutely first class service and banter. Courtesy of Cheshires finest landlord! Of course, I'm biased

Got a takeaway last night, nice to taste a proper pint again. Just checked the "pumpatron" and there are different beers tonight so going to have to go back for more!!! 😂🙈

A drinkers pub for drinkers. Always a good range of ales, packet snacks and banter.

This is such a nice little drinking place, how a pub used to be back in the day. Friendly staff with a good atmosphere.

Great one off pub run by the local community. Interesting re-structured interior.

Bloody nice down to earth pub, great landlord with plenty of banter

Friendly atmosphere. Historic decor.

Pubs like this are a rare gem these days. Quirky and eccentric, with a warm (literally with the open fire and friendly staff/patrons) atmosphere. Great ale and like pubs used to be.

Best junk filled confusion of ale ever

Real ale pub , no airs and graces just great beer

Needs some major internal decorating...good beer though

Rough and ready pub with basic decoration . However the selection of real ale is wonderful , it's a beer drinkers paradise .

Bad beer and bad customer services say no more than that

Great friendly pub with amazing range of real ales...ciders...etc

Peaceful and great atmosphere with know idiots interupting, brilliant 👍👍👍

Friends wanted to meet here, so we did. To say the bar is work in progress is an understatement, things have obviously taken much longer than expected. All that said we were made to feel welcome, more importantly the ale was good and well presented, if you want posh this is not the place for you. But if you like old traditional pub, who are happy to do a lock in at the end of the night then give it a try.

A pub full of character, atmosphere and very good beers. The live music was great.

Just my kind of place, good beer, tumbledown, loads of random stuff everywhere. Landlord was accommodating and friendly. Didn't see a wheelchair accessible entrance. Definitely worth a visit.

Locals were very welcoming and served a great ale

One of the best pubs in Stockport. The beer is always excellent and everyone is made to feel welcome.

have been here a few times . A community owned pub with a curmudgion landlord .Friendly locals sometimes Good beers and a scruffy but interesting interior.handy for the Railway station and has to be one of teh best pubs in Edgeley..J

This place is rustic at its finest, if you want an eccentric drinking experience this is it. Great selection of beers and ciders, lovely people.

Very cosy and comfortable pub, nice drinks and fast service. Quirky interior. Would definitely recommend.
