This pub is Closed Long Term
Closed long-term 20/1/2022 with its future uncertain. PLEASE NOTE, the Visitor Centre remains open, just the Brewery Bar has closed. Confirmed 3/2/2023 that they plan to move to the UPC packaging facility on Ashton Road, Bredbury by 2027/28. History: Sited in what was the former 'Unicorn Room', this was an impressive and bright space incorporating both visitor centre, and a bar. Approached via the reception area then down some steps, you went through a well-lit corridor-cum-standing drinking area decorated with images of the brewer's brands and historic bottles. Then it emerged into the main bar area; plenty of light wood furniture married well with the hardwood flooring. A nod to the past was evinced by a wall containing old copper brewing vessels. Primarily a space to entertain visitors who had completed the brewery tour, yet it operated as a bar and cafe in its own right. Good place to be the first to try the seasonal beers as well as doing light lunches, tapas, and cakes.
Historic Interest
The bar closed in March 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic. The Visitor Centre continued on however. As of 20/1/2022 Robinson's announced the closure and relocation of the Lower Hillgate brewery and all associated premises. They plan to move to the UPC packaging facility on Ashton Road, Bredbury by 2027/28. This will mean the ultimate closure and loss of the Robinson's Brewery Visitor Centre and its bar. Re-opened in March 2013 as a fully fledged visitor centre, but now with a bar that is open to the public. Prior to this, it had merely been a tasting room for use with the brewery tours.
