A popular free house with the local branch. The Wharf, on Brook Street. was closed for some time before being purchased by Chris Stairmand, formerly of the Hollins, and a period of redecoration followed. The one-room pub reopened in Sept 2011. The central bar has been painted to reference a narrow-boat (the Wharf is just down the road from the Macclesfield marina) and around it Chris has managed to include both a cosy ‘snug’-type area, (carpet, a real stove in the fireplace, lined by shelves laden with books and games) and a more open wood-floored area with space for darts, pool, live music nights, and a large screen TV, which does not impinge on the front part of the pub. There are five guest beers on handpumps from, sometimes nationwide, but more often local beers. A dark beer and a gold are always on. There is also a real cider or perry and a wide range of English and foreign bottled beers, wheat beers, and now gluten-free beers.
