Archive Bar & Bottle in Stockport

Great beer range, friendly service

1st visit 2 4 1 cocktail Great beer Pizza was top notch, dough and topping all high quality Nice vibe. Will be back, surprised it took us this long to go

The guys behind the bar were great, up for a laugh. The beer wasn't to my taste though. Also wasn't very busy when we went.

Amazing place. We held a private party here on Friday 19th July upstairs. Wonderful space for 40+ people, great pizzas, cocktails and drinks. Couldn't fault the place. Isabella, Danny and the rest of the team were so attentive. Will be back many more times. Thanks guys.

We celebrated a 50th birthday in the upstairs room and i can’t fault the effort & assistance of all the staff-thank you! (And the pizzas were great too!)

2 4 1 cocktails and sourdough pizzas are a great idea to enjoy an early evening. We went on a Friday at 5pm and enjoyed the deal until 7pm for the pizzas. Absolutely fantastic, really nice and plenty of flavour. Staff were really nice and the guy who served us for the duration of our visit, was very knowledgeable and super friendly!

Just a great place, one of my all time favourite bars.

Cannot fault Bella Danny and the team service drink and food immaculate. Nothing is to much trouble. Dog friendly. Love this place.

I really like this place, I especially like their cocktails. I recommend.

Absolutely love this place. Just wondering if new opening hours are permanent 😬??

Perfect for a drink when finishing work on a Friday , nice vibes and setting

We visited for the first time and will definitely be back! The cocktails were STUNNING and it's a realy cosy atmosphere and decor, cherry on top was the super friendly service x

Lovely atmosphere and pizza but not many soft and non alcoholic drinks

2 for 1 cocktails are amazing, great selection of beers and spirits. Pizza is also spot on. It's definitely a place to pop into if you are passing by. The atmosphere is great too, football on upstairs when I've been in couple of times

Can't rate the food yet as we haven't eaten here yet... landlady (can't remember her name) and all her staff are really friendly and welcoming, a nice small bar with a lovely atmosphere to nip into for a quiet drink......or 2!

Lovely bar in centre of Cheadle Hulme with great selection of beers. Real ales plus plenty of craft beer to choose from. Toilets and additional seating upstairs.Some outdoor seating. Usually come midweek to meet up with mates. Far busier on a Saturday afternoon.

This venue has a good vibe and is ideally located for a swift one (or two) before the train. I found the beer a little pricey but you get what you pay for and the service was great. The choice of cask beers on my visit was non existent (They have 4 hand pulls) with only one on offer, but I must say the Sabro Stout was lovely and kept in top condition, I will revisit again but maybe not on a Sunday in hope that more cask beers will be available.

£5 for a 330ml bottle of Guinness Original is a little silly but the place seemed okay. The Chiverton Tap is nicer And £4 for a 440ml can of Guinness 0.0 too. Don’t come here for a cheap night out no matter how you wish to spend it — quite literally 😂

Great service staff excellent would recommend

Great bar with an excellent atmosphere and a complete buzz around the place. There's a first class selection of beers always served with a smile.

Great bar, great night, best music I have heard in Cheadle Hulme for a long time 👌👌

Mega expensive won't be going again when u have platform 5 and John Millington well cheeper dearest pub in ch.eadle hulme

Love this place. It's my absolute go to bar in the Cheadle Hulme area. Amazing selection of drinks, great pizza and the atmosphere is spot on. Can't praise it enough. Staff are awesome!

Had a great gathering with friends, 2 cocktails for £12 and 2 for 1 pizzas excellent quality, staff were wonderful and welcoming, Bella was exceptional , nice atmosphere , great beer and lovely wine. Would recommend

Went for a reunion get together. 2 for 1 pizzas and cocktails. Absolutely delicious 🍕 and amazing 🍹 The bar staff were extremely attentive. Thank you….we will definitely be coming back x

Seems like they're still finding their feet after a recent change of management. It's still a nice place to be, just not quite what it was. I really hope they can find their mojo as this was one of my favourite venues locally.

Great bar with a good range of beers.

Wonderful cozy, well decorated bar, opposite Cheadle Hulme railway station. Sometimes live DJs playing chilled out music. Good range of craft beer and lagers- and a good choice of alcohol free as well. Does hand made pizza. Archive reminds me of similar snug places in Shoreditch in London.

Great drinking place with a relaxed atmosphere.

Visited for some beers and food. Beers were okay, but pizza wasn't great, they were undercooked and doughy.

We came as family of 4 for the pizza and cocktail night. Quality put a lot of Italians to shame, fully loaded pizzas working out at 6 quid each on the deal. Beer is also top notch as it always has been here. Keep up the good work, back in a week for more of the same!

My wife booked the upstairs of Archive for my 50th birthday party. Great place; good beer, friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for our requirements and the upstairs lends itself brilliantly to a mid size gathering. Easy to organise, manager Alex was laid back, helpful and accommodating and staff Rik and Luke the same. Perfect for our requirements and we will certainly be back for drinks as will friends who also liked it. Thankyou to Archive for making the experience so easy and a great success!

Lovely bar and Gabe was an amazing host to us. He made me feel welcomed and he contributed to us all having an amazing night with good people in a lovely bar. I Would recommend gabe 100% lovely kind man and he ran the place impeccably. I would definitely return just for Gabriel.

Good selection of beers and to have a chat

Wonderfully kept craft beer bar with friendly, attentive staff and a wide selection of well cellared beers. Spirit selection looked quite extensive too. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend you visit

Good selection of beers and ales!

Amazing selection and the staff rock. If you like beer, go here. No brainer

Archive… where do we start? This bar is nothing to look at from outside, a hang up from the previous failed restaurants that formerly occupied the building, but whatever you do, don’t let that put you off! Walk through the door and you’re welcomed into a cosy bar set over two main floors connected by a feature spiral staircase. There’s a mix of tables & chairs, benches and sofas, perfect for hosting groups of all sizes. There’s also a small outdoor seating area. What is a bar though without a range of drinks? This is where Archive excels! A chalk board lists out all of the current range of lagers, craft beers & ales, all of which are perfectly kept (no bad beer or dirty lines in this place). In a side room, there’s a wall of fridges, home to speciality bottled and canned beers from around the world. There really is no shortage of choice in here! The back bar is also well stocked with a good range of bourbon, rum & gin to name just a few. This brings us onto cocktails, oh the cocktails! I have tried many, normally at the end of the night, and none have disappointed. I believe soft drinks are also available although I have never investigated this. Bar food is also available with a range of pizzas being a speciality of theirs. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and skilled. Yet another great asset to this place. Archive may not be the cheapest bar in town but A) you’re in Cheadle Hulme and B) you get what you pay for. If cheap prices and rubbish beer are your thing, this isn’t the place for you. My friends and I, however, love it!

Had a really good night with the girls last night. Bar staff were very patient and looked after us thanks.

Always a great visit to this pub, great selection of drinks. Service is quick and served by friendly staff.

Great beers and excellent service

Great beers, great pizza. Brill staff

Had a really great night and experience. Really friendly and lively atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Absolutely cracking afternoon where we went for our first get together/reunion for almost two years. The outside space is really nice and is covered should it happen to rain. All the staff are really lovely and work so hard to make sure the visit is really good. You get the impression that nothing is too much trouble - so refreshing in the current times. Range of drinks top notch and pizzas are pretty good as well. What more could you ask for? Update February 2022. Still a remarkable range of beers, all very well kept. They are maintaining their standards for knowledgeable staff and they're lovely and friendly as well - always making you feel so very welcome. Altogether very pleasant. Update April 2022. Still an outstanding range of cask, keg, bottled and canned beer and they do cocktails as well, although I haven't tried any yet. Different offers different days - well worth a look. And still lovely people!

What a dive. The tables were filthy and sticky. I ordered a pizza had to put serviettes down on the table for the knife and fork. The only good thing the pizza was delicious, best I've had. The staff were good too.

Great bar with extensive beer range. Knowledgeable staff and good atmosphere

Cosy place across the road from the railway station. Visited with friends. There is a great selection of German beers e.g. Helles, Weißbier, Hacker-Pschorr. Bottles can be purchased for take-away. Staff friendly and efficient. Would recommend you visit this place, especially if you like your German beers! Ausgezeichnet!

Just been there tonight with three of my friends, had the 9% sour beer and 2 hours later the three of us had severe diarhea and vomitting. Will be taking this up as a matter of public health and safety with the relevant authorities, when calling to explain the situation we were asked was it the pizza? Do they poison people with pizza in addition to "off" beer or unclear pipes

Excellent beer, nice environment, still excellent 6months since last post

Dreadful tatty place. Friday night music blasting so loud we had to shout ti each other. No need to have music so loud . Pizzas awful. Base great but awful definitely not proper mozzarella cheese but some cheap tasteless stuff. We could taste it all night!!! Service very h Good hence 2 stars. Never going again !!

Great, nice people, all good,,place not change

Nice bar, great atmosphere, staff are helpful and friendly. Pizzas are really good. The only slight problem if you're chatting with friends is the noise level, some patrons do get rowdy and you struggle to hear whats being said.

Great selection of beers and cocktails. Lively atmosphere. Friendly, accommodating staff. The bill at the end of the night is VERY hefty, however (£125 for 4 people who had about 4 drinks each), which stops us going more than occasionally, and makes surrounding bars look attractive!

Great food good beer and excellent service and staff will go again

Two delicious gin combos to finish a nice trip to Cheadle Hulme after watching another city win at the Eithad.

Wide range of beers on offer, service is friendly and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend a visit

Lovely bar with great selection of ales

Our first time in this bar and what a great place. Friendly and attentive staff. Great tunes and wide range of cocktails. Table service and opening up a tab was great too. We loved the laid back atmosphere and looking forward to bringing our kids to try the food menu next time.

Brilliant beer and cocktails. The pizzas are so tasty and the staff are so fun and friendly.

Great addition to cheadle hulme

Great selection of ale, lovely relaxed atmosphere, nice addition to Cheadle Hulme

Love this place, the choice of drinks on offer is outstanding. The team are always will to help and give advice with drinks choices etc.

One of the best bars in Stockport. - great ever changing selection of ale/lager/etc - excellent staff with some fantastic cocktail talents - still operating table service - pizzas are nice and very well priced The key success is the knowledge of the staff, they won’t just recommend a drink they’ll bring you a sample without being asked, depending on your previous choices.

Great selection of beers......lol, almost too many to choose from!!!

First time I've been here since pre lockdown 1. Great table service. Same vast array of real beers. Great to know that they've survived and can grow from strength to strength.

Cracking little boozer with an eclectic mix of drinks and excellent staff

Excellent little place, didn't realise it was a bar thought it was a diner. Cocktails were amazing very good atmosphere. Also has footie on.

Great range but a little expensive

Well where to start. Visited this bar on Friday afternoon with friends. Fliss behind the bar was brilliant, open a tab no problem. Just relaxing ambiance, great Salopian Beer with rings all the way to the bottom of the glass, reflecting great quality. Had visited 3 weeks earlier with ex work colleages and the service was just as good. Would make a detour to drink in this bar.

Called in to this new (ish) bar for a late afternoon coffee. It’s quirky inside and the service was friendly and efficient. The coffee was ok, with the alcoholic drinks menu looking very interesting

Always has a second to none range of beers available. With dozens of different beers every day it's always nice to come and try something new.

Started great and still is. Nice service, good beer and fair prices, probably a good thing it's not closer.

Just discovered this place and called in for an early evening drink. Real ale specialist, Gin Parlour, Cocktails and Coffee house. Great decor and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Lots of competition in Cheadle Hulme but think Archive will certainly give its neighbours a good run for their money

Very good was working at MyHQ next door and popped in for a quick one, nice staff friendly atmosphere.

Pizza like no other! So tasty, and the dough used for the base makes them really unique. Excellent beer selection and a fab bottle shop to top it off! Always super friendly staff.

Had a great night here! Great beer and great pizzas! Would visit again anytime.

Lovely place. Great selection of beers in a relaxing atmosphere. Helpful staff who talked me through the beer I wanted Definitely recommend

Amazing for Vegans, shed loads of vegan beer, vegan pizzas which are to die for, and vegan Sundaes, what's not to love. Staff are safe as houses too.

Really good pizza, lovely staff, great choice of beers and the beer garden is gorgeous

Great beer. Not so sure about covid social distancing however !!!

Very good beer and a serious effort to get going after lockdown

Delicious pizzas and a wide range of drinks to choose from!

The patio is a bit cosy, but not much can be done about that. Good service and drinks selection as always though!

Great beer selection, domestic and continental. Outstanding cocktail and spirit options, tasty pizza and great service to top it off. An asset to Cheadle Hulme

Great bar with a friendly crowd. Good service, food is decent and a great selection of craft beers and ciders. Outside space is limited though.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great selection of beers.

Great choice during lockdown of cans and bottles for takeaway.

Top draw, still serving take out beer and fantastic pizza.

Great to see a cracking range of beers on offer (takeout only at the mo), keep up the good work!

Awesome takeout pizza n beer... Cant wait to visit post covid and enjoy sitting in

Great staff and best beer around at a great price

Really good feeling in this bar. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks they are serving. They have managed to keep the vibe alive in these difficult times. Support your local.

Absolutely great selection of beers in here and good covid measures. Definitely recommend this place!

Decent beer selection. Staff knowledgeable and friendly. All a little bit over priced, particularly if you’re not drinking beer but all decent quality.

Lovely selection of ales, will be back soon

I have to be honest! The Chiv next door is my local...but a trip to The Archive tonight! Great music...Great service and vibe. Very enjoyable.

The range, choice and taste of the gins was immaculate with a free mixer deal with a double. However we must’ve been sat at the table for 10 mins upon arrival with no service and no indication of how to order. The decor around seemed a bit worn. The male toilet only had one working light? It was still a pleasant experience and would return

Really nice and laid back place, had a great range of beers and the person who was serving us was really helpful. The place does not serve food but if visiting Cheadle hulme for a night out or fancy having a decent pint I would recommend this place to be your first stop.

Great (huge) selection of beers on tap and in bottles, friendly and relaxed little bar

Great little bar gorgeous cider on tap too...very cosy...across from the station
