INVENTERY in Stockport

I really like this quaint little bar in Cheadle Hulme. Always a good choice of beer, with Dortmunder seeming to be the resident one - fine by me! Cocktails are pretty decent and the atmosphere is good. You can tell this place is ran/owned by interior designers as the decor is lovely. The toilets are impeccably clean. In the local area, Inventery are second only to Archive in my opinion, which wins on sheer choice of beers/spirits - but I always fit both in on a night out!

I am convinced that the new Sunday roast offering is the best in Stockport!

FANTASTIC comedy night. 2 bar staff for 50 customers is not good. Great coffee's Good two cocktail discounts. Tasty cooked snacks Bar service..could do with a smile occasionally and customer interaction. Been here a couple of times lately during the day for coffee and have not received table service like they used to do.

Great staff, had a good laugh with them. Enjoyed the drinks and was made to feel very welcome.

I like this place - it’s dog-friendly (outside at least) and it has a good range of drinks (they have a good range of rums that staff gave me advice about). Service is friendly and efficient. The only problem I’ve ever encountered is when we visited on a Saturday evening and they had a DJ playing really loud music - didn’t get that as no-one was dancing and people were just sat drinking straining to hear what other people were saying.

Fun place great atmosphere. Dj on a sat evening was fab xxx

We love this independently owned gem in the centre of Cheadle Hulme. The food is really nice, a good selection of drinks and nice welcoming atmosphere. The owner was particularly friendly when my wife and I happened to sit down at a table next to him without knowing who he was. Lovely chap.

Lovely place. Good food. Well priced. Steak night is good.

Thanks to the wonderful staff who contributed to giving my daughter a 40th birthday party to remember yesterday! The staff were so friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble! The food was simply delicious( for adults and children) and very well presented.Thank you again

Very expensive and over priced for drinks The village was once affordable for a night out Might as well go to London for what they charge here. Good Atmosphere, strange opening hours

I come here often and recommend this wonderful place to everyone.❤

Just been to this place terrible service staff not knowledgeable of food poor quality of food Overpriced .we spent 180 pounds,ordered round of drinks at 9.30 but around 10pm we we re asked to drink up as they were closing had to leave our drinks.we expected a good night out not spend all that omeymonet for 2 hours and asked to leave ca use we were last customers The so called scruffy manageress just wanted to get rid of us and very rude.oh well won't be going there again giving them our good money which pays their wages terrible night 😉

Friendly staff, good selection of cocktails.

Great drinks, food and lovely people. Doesn’t do ale, because it isn’t a pub. It’s a great cocktail bar.

Friendly staff, lovely relaxed atmosphere, great choice of wines, cocktails and gins. A wonderful small plates menu which I have eaten several times and the best brunch around. And also for hosting RUNMCR - a great friendly running group on Sunday mornings

Small plates menu is absolutely delicious!

Superb local bar. Excellent staff and food. Always welcoming to family's and dogs with lots of great events. Great atmosphere. The food is really the standout, goes toe to toe with any bars in Manchester. Cocktails are excellent and ever evolving and the creativity is superb.

We had a really lovely dinner here on a Friday night in early December. The food, cocktails and beers were excellent. The only minor quibble was the tiny duck breast portion - three slices wasn’t very much. The dish was absolutely delicious however. All portions of other dishes were generous and excellent value for money. Service was courteous and efficient. We were visiting from London for the weekend and I would highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Saturday night drinks, with great music from the DJs. Great atmosphere, and they have a great outdoor area.

A great bar and a team that is friendly. Ben and the team are always looking to get the best beers/wines/cocktails to ensure that it never gets boring!

Went on a Wednesday afternoon so quiet, with one person working on a laptop. Last time we went there were a few people working on laptops, which isn't a problem, but a little distracting when they start having phone conversations and meetings via zoom, which also happened last time. Only had hot drinks which were very nice, obviously can't comment on the food.

Really nice outdoor section - unfortunately was midweek and didn't fancy drinking but the food & cocktail menu sounded fantastic, will definitely be coming back to try some!

Impromptu visit this afternoon! After a couple of fabulous cocktails we ordered a few of their small plates ! Absolutely Delicious and a much deserved thankyou to the chef ! Absolutely lovely and the staff were great xx. Stayed much longer than planned but would highly recommend xx

Great place to meet and chat over tasty food

Dog friendly, great food and drinks. Work there during the day, enjoy brunch, cocktails and drinks in the evening - versatile venue

Honestly the best coffee in Cheadle Hulme made by lovely staff.

Loving the outdoor area and the small plates of food are excellent. Service is great too.

Great little bar and they serve excellent drinks including a rather nice white Rioja , very fresh feel and very clean toilets , great location not too far from station, worth a drink or two and a bear garden

Food is always unreal, the staff are great and really knowledgeable, honestly such a gem for cheadle hulme

Mainly drinks. Very basic snacks.

Lovely place for drinks and catch up with friends in the heart of Cheadle Hulme. They do have a food menu too. On street parking and lovely cocktails

What a lovely place. Great food and friendly staff. Will definitely go back

Nice, friendly staff who are happy to help with any cocktail related query. The drinks and food are pretty good too.

A calming relaxed time attentive staff... young confident team !

Excellent food, cocktails and service

I went here on Sunday to get coffee and brunch. I had high hopes because the place looks great from the outside and looked really nice inside too. We got cappuccinos which were fantastic but the food was just about OK... I waited almost half an hour just for a sausage butty, which came out dry without the requested tomato sauce. It took me a few minutes to flag a member of staff (seemed very few staff about, and the man behind the bar was very busy) to bring me some out. After other wait, she brought out sauce which turned out to be spicy sriracha sauce... It did look very much like ketchup, but it ruined my meal as I only noticed once I'd poured the sauce over and started eating. My partner enjoyed his meal however, but the service was really slow, especially considering the place was only about 1/3 full.

Lovely modern space with incredible cocktails - the sort of quality you'd see in a proper cocktail bar. Inventive by name, inventive by nature. A few vegan options on the menu too!

Lovely Tapas great portion sizes too, fab cocktails and good service, wish i still lived in Cheadle Hulme

Love this place! Fantastic staff, great food and brilliant events.

I come here for coworking/with friends, such a lovely place, the staff are always friendly and attentive, and the food is divine (defo try the potatoes!)

Absolutely fantastic experience here for a joint Wedding Anniversary and Birthday Party. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing and staff communication couldn’t be faulted. Had so many of our guests commenting on what a great night it was. Really pleased with everything from start to finish and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of arranging a celebration. Definitely be back here ❤️

Great place for a catch-up with a mate, friendly and welcoming staff.

Great vibes. Lovely place to sit for coffee and cakes. And the Sunday lunches that came out of the kitchen looked and smelled incredible!

Great local bar, great cocktails.

Couldn't recommend this place enough, the food, drinks and staff are all extremely inviting and lovely! This is a highlight of Cheadle Hulme - their fabulous socials always tempt me from afar and I always get unbelievably great service whenever I find myself nearby!

Cards on the table, this is not Martin Meerkat's type of bar..no real ale. Had two pints of Cruzcampo at £5.50. Pleasant bar but no cash so automatic point lost. Bar staff are very pleasant. Also sold Hoffmeister and a fizzy IPA.

Really great service, professional and friendly by Molly and Oli on a Tuesday night ! Lovely environment,great food and beer/wine selection! Lovely backyard for smokers too :) Will def come back again. Thank you so much guys 😊

Absolutely Bussin food, the waiters are friendly and have fast service, 100% recommend

Such a lovely place! Really great food, wine, coffee and service. Will definitely be back.

Great staff, nice atmosphere and lovely drinks (especially cocktails). Outdoor area has a nice vibe too!

Really good cocktails. Decent pricing. Well worth a visit. We've since returned several times and the service is still top notch. Everyone working behind the bar was great and we have felt really welcome every time. Keep it up!!

Absolutely amazing staff, great drinks and even better food. What's not to love?

Chloe was a brilliant waitress so lovely and the cocktails were brilliant, best service locally, perfect night enhanced by Chloe!

Amazing service thanks to our lovely waitress Chloe

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Service was excellent. The food was delicious.

Really poor slow service. We ordered drinks and waited 15 minutes before leaving. The bar wasn’t even busy - probably as a result of the poor service!! It’s such a shame as it’s a lovely bar and Cheadle Hulme needs it.

Great night either live music. More than I expected for a Wednesday!

Fantastic bar with top drawer cocktails. Food takeovers are well worth going to and the staff are all lovely. Recommend!

Inventery is a frequent haunt of ours so it was the perfect place to hold my husbands 40th birthday celebrations. We contacted Lucy and the team, who made the planning so simple. Leading up to and on the day everything came together perfectly. A huge thank you to Ben, Lucy and the entire team for all of your hard-work and effort. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone, whether you just want a quick cocktail after work or a great night out with the girls, this place can cater for all occasions. Thank you to the entire Inventery team for making Chris’ 40th so special. We will see you soon. Many thanks Dawn x

Really nice venue. The staff were super friendly. A great range of drinks and as a veggie one of the best poke bowls i have had. Really recommend.

I need to start by saying, this is the most accommodating, friendly place. A truly Great place to go and have fun and unwind. Amazing staff too. So impressed. So friendly. And if I may add.... a better long island ice tea than matt and Fred's. A great selection of drinks too. A really special place to go to. I will 1000 times again.

Great cocktails and was allowed to use the staff facilities as I have mobility issues. It was a great visit and will go again

They know how to do a 'wet' Latte and they heat the cup so your coffee doesn't go cold so fast....always a bonus for me. I hear the food options will be on the up soon too. Look forward to that.

Love it here, it's my favourite place to go to in Cheadle Hulme. We sat outside and enjoyed their special 2 cocktails for £12 offer. All drinks were amazing! Staff were fantastic, attentive and gave us great recommendations for the best drinks for us. Enjoyed trying out the new one with amaretto and cherries! Will be back soon!

First visit. Friendly staff when I booked and on arrival. However, for all the smiles, the orders weren't always correct and as the night wore on, the service was appallingly slow. Need more staff 😉

We recently hosted a private party for 65ish people at Inventery and can’t thank them enough for all their support. From the seamless planning with Lucy, to the amazing bar staff on the night.. not to mention the place looking amazing! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to host a party.

First time in Inventory. We made a weekend visit and was really impressed. It was table service, which was fab as queuing up at the bar is one of my pet hates. They have a great range of cocktails, but to be honest they pretty much make whatever you want. We didn’t eat anything this time but we will definitely be going back to try the food. It has a fab atmosphere, and all the staff were lovely, but we mainly got served by the lovely Ben who saw to our every need. Even the lovely doorman Ben (I know but yes he was called Ben to) came in at the end of the night to help the bar staff clear up and found my very tipsy friend’s bank card on the floor, and saved the day. So if your looking for a very chilled atmosphere to try fab cocktails I’d advise a trip!

Great cocktails love the live music on Thursday but wish it was on til 11 instead of 10, Lucy is always great and remembers us every time, always feel welcomed by her. This was a 5* review having been several times. However... I have added to this review to say this is the second time in a row that on a busy Saturday night myself and a friend after having a meal in gusto have arrived between 21.45-21.50 and been turned away. Both times the place was lively, but there was one or two spare tables. On both occasions the bouncer on the door has said 'I've just been told it's last orders and not to let anyone else in' sorry? Not even 10pm on a busy Saturday night? Do the owners want this? Or are staff just wanting to knock off early? Either way they're losing money. My boyfriend and I used to go every week to the live music but after these last 2 experiences it's really put me off. Each time the bouncer has looked bewildered and unsure why he's not allowed to let myself and another girl in (both in our 30's) so has gone and asked a guy behind the bar who I've blatantly see outright shake his head and say no. The same happened to my mum and dad on a Saturday night so not sure if this is just a theme for whoever's working Saturday night to want to get the place closed up early. Either way, it has definitely put me off, we ended up going next door to the milli and had a better night anyway.

Excellent. Great evening and cocktails?

Out Standing Brunch on a Sunny Sunday! Eggs ROYALE & Bloody Maria, am I somewhere in a sunny European square or am I in Cheadle Hulme, I don’t know ☺️

Ooh, fell into this place by accident but some nice quality vibes and cocktails. They also do food now!

Called in this miserable, wet morning for a coffee. Lovely, lovely staff - cheered up right away. The coffee was as usual excellent too. I left my gloves behind & one of the staff ran after us down the road to hand them back - so kind.

Style over substance. The place is very trendy and it's all kids who work there, but each time I've been there it's been a painful experience trying to do basic things like ordering a round of drinks. Either the round never arrives until you remind someone 20 minutes later, or drinks are missing/duplicated, or they bring the wrong thing... The staff seem disinterested, which is frustrating given that it's a "one simple job to do" kind of situation, and take it personally when you say something. Drinks would be pricey even if the service was reasonable.

Nice friendly staff and good food 👌

Brilliant - Excellent service and food&drink.

Helpful bar staff, lovely cocktails

Great place for coffee and cake or cocktails. Staff very friendly and excellent service.

Absolutely brilliant bar, really interesting guest beers, cool but not a pretentious vibe. Great indoor and outdoor spaces

Nice staff and great service at the bar. Lunch was light and simple mozzarella flat bread would highly recommend it.

Myself and the hubby had a private cocktail masterclass with Joe who is a font of knowledge on cocktails, we learnt such a lot and really enjoyed our evening. I loved the fact that Joe doesn’t use bog standard, it's all imported and original drinks that are used. I would highly recommend and would love to do this again we had a fantastic time. 🍹🍸

The Inventery is our local, we probably go once or twice a week with our dog and it is always excellent. The staff (especially Imogen) are so friendly, the cocktails are brilliant, coffee is great and the pop up food with Food Rebels is an excellent concept and works really well! We love it here and would definitely recommend visiting!

First visit, Awesome selection of cocktails, we also ordered the meat food platter which was both well presented and tasty. 5 stars from us.

Quite a newish venue great female Dj

Absolute joke. If I could I wouldn't even leave 1 star. Took 20 minutes to put our drinks order in... after complaining about the wait... still no drink 10 minutes later with an apology saying another 5 minutes. They did offer free water though 🤔🤔🤔 just what I want on a night out.. not. Don't bother. It's just not worth it.

Lovely atmosphere, sit outside in the sheltered garden or in the bar, great drinks selection, really nice decor, visiting world food vans, live music… Best thing about inventery is that it’s great every day/time of the week and warrants regular visits

Love this place, great atmosphere and amazing drinks and cocktails. We where lucky to experience the pop up tapas and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Super friendly service, lovely setting, great atmosphere and even better cocktails! Will definitely be back again and again and again!

Took my wife here for a quick drink, ended up staying a few hours and earned myself few brownie points with the Mrs #winwin Really friendly staff, nice environment, got the place looking good and the drinks were on point!

Unequivocally the worst pint I've ever had. Sent first pint back. Tried 2 sips of the second pint ( which I think was the first pint with a quick knock on the head) and told them to take it off the bill and left.

Love this place, great atmosphere, decor, drinks (cocktails in particular) and service. Food is decent but would love to see it step up a bit, although really enjoy the guest food trucks that they have. 5*****

Nice place, lovely service, good food and drinks.

Best damn cocktails in Manchester. In great relaxed surroundings. Espresso martini's worth the trip alone. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff.

Lovely drinks, terrible customer service Booking system doesn’t work No communication between staff Staff didn’t acknowledge or address dissatisfaction we raised regarding our table Won’t be returning

Really lovely. The Cocktails are very good and the decor (in the bathrooms especially) is lovely. Service was also great.

Great place, service great when quiet, but disappointing when a tad busier

Impressive place. Only stopped for a couple of drinks on our way elsewhere, but the service from the lad helping us was top. Good warning on what to expect from the cocktail with a nice follow up to make sure it was going down nicely - service like that is often overlooked, but shows a place genuinely cares about what they are offering. The drinks were all delicious and very fairly priced. Will certainly revisit 👌

Excellent customer service from the minute you enter Inventery! Such attentive staff and so very friendly. Wonderful choice of seating areas; Outside at the back is so fresh, comfortable and bespoke with a unique art nouveau approach. The heated lamps are a bonus when (usually) it's cold! Sitting inside near the open windows at the front on a warm summer's evening is a true experience of bringing the outside, in. We have been served by Lucy who is a true professional and welcoming host. A definite return visit from us! Chris and Mark Holdsworth

Just enjoyed a little walk in, whilst on a little dog walk.. fabulous as ever.. Drinks delish and Ruby was spoilt too. Thank you xx ❤️😘🐶xx

Beautiful venue and delicious cocktails. Staff were amazing, we will definitely be returning.

Absolutely gorgeous outside place. Great cocktails and food.
