10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Higher Walton

"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."

"A former newsagent’s and still selling daily papers, it owes its existence to the Sainsbury’s that opened across the road – as it could not compete, it changed business. It is an Aladdin’s cave of wonderful bottled beers, wines, loose-leaf teas and speciality coffees. It also offers two real ales on handpumps, usually from local breweries such as Parker."

"21/05/2021: Was 30 mins late, chicken was cold to the touch and was mould on 2 of the burger buns and they had actually tried to pick the mould off so know exactly what their doing, have immediately contacted environmental health with pictures and see what happens to this revolting restaurant. 17/05/2021: Ordered peri peri chicken strips and was sent normal, rung up the next day and I was made out to be a liar and that I did not order peri peri even though my order was repeated on the phone, I record all my calls and have listened back to it and I am right. There are a large number of take always in the Blackpool area and I highly recommend that you don’t order from here, look on google reviews for this place and you will see this is a ongoing issue."

"28/03/2021: We order from here quite often and are usually very happy. The last time we ordered was on Friday night and the lamb was completely black and burnt, the chicken wasn't much better. We called to complain and they said we'd get a free equivalent next time we call, who remembers to do this?"

"Just on the outskirts of Manchester, Sakura is an authentic Japanese restaurant with some fabulous decor. The place prides itself on its delicious sushi combinations and is well known for its easy-going all-you-can-eat buffet designed to reduce the stress of the traditional buffet. Guests simply order their food from an iPad at their table, which is then brought out to them as soon as its ready."

"Facilities are children’s play area, a visitors centre with toilets, a pond, a conservation area with a dipping platform, angling. Once the ash tip for east Manchester’s power station, it was greened up in the 1980s and since recent investment, is a key green space within the Medlock River Valley. Clayton Vale is a Local Nature Reserve and is a great place for families to enjoy woodland and riverside walks, cycling, picnicking, or pond dipping."
