10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Charnock Richard

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"Regarded highly by CAMRA as one of the best local pubs (on numerous occasions, we should add), the Prairie Schooner Taphouse on Flixton Road features a selection of hand-pulled ales and craft kegs on tap. Not only that, but you can also buy a selection of bottled and canned beers from all over the world to take home with you."

"Also, do not forget to avail of the 4D cinema experience which provides an adventurous ride down Blackpool’s memory lane. It is an amazing experience that will dazzle all your senses. Such a visual experience is worth watching."

"Gino’s is the newbie on Market Street, a small parlour that channels Italy from the music to the ingredients used in the gelato that’s made fresh every day. Tuck into the smooth Ferrero Rocher or the refreshing classic strawberry gelato – or any of the fabulous flavours – in a tub, cone, on a waffle, in a milkshake or even on a pancake."

"After a decade of success in Manchester, Archie’s opened not one, but two epic new restaurants, both of which feature incredible additions that take your regular burger hang-out to a whole new level. From selfie opps to bright pink ball pools – you’ll find a pretty pink wonderland at both their new Piccadilly restaurant and their brand new flagship restaurant in the Trafford Centre. Archie’s, 6 & 7, Gateway House, Piccadilly, M1 2GH | 134 Barton Dock Rd, Trafford Park, Stretford, M17 8EH."
