Long Bar in Stockport

Great food and great service always

Discovered this bar/restaurant recently and have quickly become regular customers. Good quality and variety of tapas dishes combined with friendly and efficient service together with very reasonable drink prices make this a great place to visit.

Came to enjoy sitting outside in the sunshine. Reserved table (for someone else) from 6, so sat inside. We were told straight away “we’ll need the table at 7”. Come half 6, the party had not arrived. Another couple left when they saw the reserved sign. We let a member of staff know they’d lost business. The manager then came out, quite confrontational in her tone and when we explained the situation and that they had lost business, she said “it is what it is”. Not the best way to run a business. I’d suggest taking reservations but holding the table for 15 mins. The Long Bar was a great addition to the village when it first opened but after two bad experiences, I wouldn’t choose to go back.

Shocking service, we were grunted at, snapped at & made to feel extremely uncomfortable. Very confusing ‘special offer’. Food gone down hill, very poor. Will not return!

We have always had great service here but won't be going again. Had a great meal plenty of drinks but being asked to vacate our table was totally unacceptable as there were at least six empty tables with no reservations noted. VERY BAD BUSINESS ACUMEN !!!!!

Lovely lunch spoiled by being asked to vacate our table in 10minutes when we’d just had a drink delivered to the table. We paid £150 between 3 of us and were perfectly happy with everything till then. Not the service we’ve come to expect from The Long Bar. Very upset about this.

Great atmosphere for Mother's Day. Very busy with people dining. The staff were happy for us to sit at the bar to enjoy our drinks.

Great atmosphere sunday afternoon really enjoyed the drink

Lovely Sunday evening spent with friends. Staff were really attentive and food was fast. We ordered some tapas food between four and the food was lovely. The hummus and pita was amazing, the sticky beef was lovely and the Vietnamese fries. I would say the lamb cubes were a bit chewy. But other than that a really nice tapas style. Food was fast too. Would recommend if you are local.

Amazing food great staff would definitely go again

Great tapas and great prices. 👍

Great lunch here and gorgeous tapas food and great cocktails. The menu is great and the food is really superb. Prawns are huge and patatas bravas with the sticky beef is a must. The Vietnamese French fries have to be included. Wash it down with a rhubarb raspberry gin mule, it has a great hit of ginger.

Quiet lunchtime visit but both the food and the service was excellent.

Love this place. As a big group, it’s great to be seated on a circular table. The menu is fantastic. Very often, there are only a few things I fancy on a menu, but here I’m spoiled for choice! So many delicious dishes. The food is soooo good and amazing value for money. Although it’s tapas, the portion sizes are very generous. I normally like the idea of chips but don’t actually enjoy eating them. But the chips here are to die for. I’ve only taken a star off because they didn’t bring one of my dishes at all till I had to remind them. By the time it came, most people had finished eating. But I’d definitely recommend eating here.

Great place and Amazing food, it's a must to go.

Always a fantastic night. The menu is brilliant and the food amazing. The team are so lovely and service is first class. By far the best place in Bramhall. Thank you x

Wow. Great food, service, ambience. Loved it. Can’t wait to come back.

Visited early Sunday evening with my family. We were very disappointed in the quality of food, it’s the worst we have ever had.. The sticky beef was inedible, fatty tough meat, seabass was cold & tasteless, Everything was just ok not great. The bang bang chicken was lovely & the garlic prawns too unfortunately they were the only decent dishes. We placed our order then 20mins later we were told sorry we have no chorizo so no potatoes with chorizo, 5 mins later our waitress told us sorry we have no calamari & no char su pork!!! Understand this happens but still very disappointing. We got a really nice big booth but unfortunately the staff were sorting all the cutlery on the table next to us!!!! Not nice when you are out for a family meal & all you can hear is knives & forks. You couldn’t have a conversation for the noise of the cutlery it was not very good. Luckily this stopped before the food arrived. We spent £135 plus tip & I have to say we were all disappointed. I messaged the restaurant to let them know & they didn’t bother to reply!!! Rude! We won’t return.

We decided to pop in for a drink on a Saturday evening & sat at the bar. We were ignored for 10 minutes. Eventually we ordered a couple of drinks - but we were served very slowly and with reluctance. The bar server was borderline rude and was clearly not happy to be there. Not sure I’d bother again.

Fantastic fusion of foods, something different to everyone else. Great pleasant service, I only marked atmosphere down as it was quiet when we were in (but I like it like that) it made a change not having to shout across the table to be heard which seems to be the norm now. Well worth a visit. Thanks again (Zaks dad)

Went here for a birthday celebration and couldn't fault it. The service was great, fast and attentive. All the food was lovely, well prepared and presented. The food is like tapas as you order a few small dishes. The portions are a good size and all tasty and well presented. Would recommend the tandori and the crispy beef. And for £10 the steak was bigger than expected and really well cooked as asked for it medium rare. Have returned again and the service was great again and the food the same high standard.

Great place to eat and drink they fitted us in at very short notice on a Saturday evening food and drinks were first class great atmosphere and absolutely every single member of the staff were very very pleasant polite and friendly could not fault them well done to a great team effort .👍👏👏👏👏 don't miss out give it a try excellent value for money

Really great food. Extremely tasty and very well priced. Will be returning soon!

We had a small query in regard to a drink as we were unsure if it was a mock tail as ordered along with a normal cocktail, both looked and tasted the same. Our driver was worried she had alcohol in her drink, and the lady who ordered normal cocktail was not sure hers did as they tasted the same. The owner is rude and unhelpful. The food was excellent and so we're waiting on staff. Sadly, we will not return due to the aggressive and rude owner.

Staff nice enough but not overly attentive Tables too small to eat Service slow Food very salty over taste Wouldn’t go again

Very busy, lucky to get a table for four. Speedy service.

Best Sunday dinner everything tasted amazing, will definitely make this a regular thing

Fabulous menu including small plates. Small but nice outdoor seating areas, plus semi outdoor seating at the front, with larger tables inside. Good service.

The food is incredible- everyone should try the tandoori fish! Great portion sizes as well

Superb food every time Michelin star quality 💕

Lovely staff, great tasting food with plenty of GF options. Nice portions so that you can add too and not be overfaced.

Amazing tapas food, great value and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and will go back again!

Lovely food, all cooked fresh & very tasty. A great treat, only rated 4 atmos as Tuesday lunchtime & a little quiet. We've been at weekends & eves and its buzzing, was a lovely lunchtime treat.

We had the Sunday roast well worth the £13.50 will definitely be going again 😋

Absolutely love this place, food is amazing, lovely friendly staff too.

Fab food, lovely staff, could do with louder music

Excellent tasty tapas. Young waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Lunch time prices good value.

Wonderful restaurant and respectful staff. The food is so delicious❤️

Excellent service, as usual, for a chilled a pint. .......and two portions of salt and pepper chips !😍😍😍 Just been again, 11 August 22, food outstanding, service perfect.

Nice food friendly staff good service

Okay if you're desperate for a drink

Great food, great value and great atmosphere! Love it

Nicest roast dinners around would fully recommend

Really enjoy the lunch time special. Food is first class

No pics apologies. However, the food and staff were amazing. Cannot wait to revisit 👍😊❤️

Called by for a quick drink last night with my friend who has recently moved to the area. As soon as walked in bar staff said ‘at capacity’ won’t serve you and another member of staff straight on us saying we aren’t letting any one else in. Meanwhile 2 lady’s got out of a taxi straight behind us and walked in and passed us to the bar just as we were told this and nothing said to them. Pointed this out to the member of staff who then pretended to go up to them as if telling them the same yet miraculously they stayed as we walked out. One of those pretentious place where they look at you, stereotype you (even though we are both 40 y/o working professionals / business owners) and make a preconception, and think they don’t belong in here and treat you like you are a class below. You need to get with the times. Disgusting, unfriendly, biased and judgemental. Thankfully plenty more lovely local bars that didn’t treat us this way. A real shame these places still exist in today’s society.

Very nice food and reasonably priced also. Would recommend and will return.

Love the long bar, great tapas, varied options, soo tasty and good portions and price. Add good beers and atmosphere , what more fo you want

Pleasently surprised at the quality & quantity of food on the Sunday lunch menu.

Really nice, food was tasty and awesome that Neck Oil is on tap!

I've booked a few times here always lovely food but was very disappointed on Sunday it was my birthday so booked a table for 3 about 3 weeks ago. Arrived at the Long Bar with nobody eating although lots of tables reserved we were shown to our table but unfortunately it was at the window on high bars stools. I thought it was inapprociate for my mother of 86 to try and get up on the stool therefore asked if we could change. The answer was a defiant no as they were too busy. Not even a lets see if we can try and re-arrange some of the tables I certaintly was't about to let my mum try and hitch herself up so left. It rather spolt my birthday plans and felt a little let down.

Best Sunday Roast by far. Fab Chef and staff. Thank you!

Had a lovely lunch today with my 93 year old dad and friend Trudy celebrating her 83rd birthday. Great food , such variety and incredibly good value. Friendly, welcoming service from the twins.

Amazing service from fabulous staff. Food is so tasty and such good value.

Fab bar. Great food and atmosphere

Food is fabulous staff so friendly and atmosphere is just awesome Sunday lunch is absolutely amazing with big servings just an all round great time for spending with frozen or family

Great service friendly staff and good quality value for money food

Thought we’d try something new and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing flavours, perfectly cooked and piping hot and fresh. Can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you guys.

A pity that they made a mistake with the order. One wrong item in the bag. OK only not a wow factor and expensive for what you get.

Recommended by a friend and I have to say it was amazing !! Gorgeous food and excellent value for money. One of the best takeaway we've had in lockdown and we've had a few. Thank you.

Heard good comments and tried the takeaway menu last night. Blown away. It was very good. Particularly like the Bang Bang chicken. Will be back.

Great food ! Great service thank you

Gotta be the Best Sunday Lunch around Cheshire, Fantastic Value along with Great Service with a Smile, can’t wait to go back again soon 👍😍

Nice bar, amazing food, great atmospere will certainly be back

Went here in September for Lunch. There is a discount option for 3 tapas. The food was amazing and service quick and friendly. Highly recommended. Everything looks Covid19 safe too.

Enjoyed the most amazing tapas takeaway last night. Shirley and the team are so helpful in making it a very safe experience. We will definitely be back as love your food. Thank you

I always love going to Long Bar. The service is first class, great friendly team and the owner is lovely. Food was wonderful. Large portions and a great selection. It never disappoints. All covid rules in place so felt nice and safe. Support the local restaurants and bars it’s important they make it through this tough time and they are doing so much to make the experience great in difficult times. Thank you! Great evening.

Great place .... Atmosphere and service superb

Never disappointed, Shirley and her team always look after us with a warm welcome. Whether its for something to eat or a few drinks its the best place in Bramhall to meet up and relax. The food and service is always amazing, along with a great ambience.

Brill service and fab atmosphere due to Shirley and staff

It never surprises me when i go to LONG BAR in Bramhall... Excellent service of food and drinks, friendly staff and clean inside and out. They run a tight ship here, but from a very welcoming angle. Easy to book a table and someone happy always answers the phone.TRY THEIR FOOD, TRUST ME ON THAT!

Had the tapas and every mouthful was amazing. Great, friendly staff; wonderful ambience ; good value. Booking again for next week. Also all Covid rules applied. Thank you so much!!

Really great selection of tasty food but poor service unfortunately. Really struggled to get a drink. Had zero attention from the servers there. Had let them down

Really lovely place to eat. Visited for lunch, food was really tasty and fresh and not overpriced. Staff friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend u try it

Amazing night tonight. You absolutely nailed it 👏 Punters must give you the respect and understand that we are living in different times. Love you and thank you for keeping us safe tonight Ed & Mike ❤❤❤

We recently had the tapas take away food for two and it was great! Fresh and full of flavour we would highly recommend, can’t wait to visit when you are back open!

Hosted my 40th Birthday here, absolutely fabulous night. All my guests commented on what an excellent evening. Great service. Food is gorgeous one of my favourite places to eat in Bramhall. Will definitely return in the future, excellent value for money.

Amazing food amazing staff and a lovely atmosphere myself and my wife were in today for lunch celebrating my wife's birthday and we will be back very soon x

We have been to Long Bar three times and have always been impressed by the quality of the food and the friendliness of all the staff. The tapas dishes are perfect for groups and we have raved about the quality of the food after each visit.

Lazy lunch ... choice of lots of different Gin Wine Estella perfect 👍🏼 warm welcome amazing tapas fantastic portion size great value ♥️

Nice bar. My only reservation might be the lack of online menu. Otherwise, nice staff and they serve Estrella, which is great.

Always great tasty food and service is always spot on. I wish I lived nearer, I’d be dining there every week. Family all went on Christmas Eve, we were very impressed and will be returning sometime soon xx thank you to Shirley & team

Superb service from both bar and kitchen sides with great food too. Restaurant manager and staff were excellent, and in a great atmosphere.

Love the Long Bar. Great atmosphere, brilliant staff.

Love, love, love this bar. BUT the Sunday lunch was diabolical! Before it has been amazing. Today the portions are smaller, the Yorkshire is cold in the middle, roast potatoes taste as if they have been sat around all afternoon and the gravy tepid. Please don’t do this to me again. Hopefully just a one off!

We went for lunch and had the lunchtime special (3 small plates for £10). Good service and great tasty food. Would definitely go again

This was my favourite restaurant whilst travelling in the UK recently. The food was so good we went twice in a week. Staff really attentive to allergies and really knowledgeable about the menu. Loved the food. The peri peri chicken was devine as was the hallumi. Great menu with loads of choice, all delicious

Came out to this bar for a drink with my friend, sat at the bar after ordering two cocktails. Was approached by a rude ignorant Male and what looked like his twin was beside him. I asked politely "are you twins" only to be replied with yes and a angry looking face. The other bar staff seemed friendly although these two looked like they had issues talking friendly to others

We visited the long bar today at lunch time, we were greeted and seated and made to feel welcome immediately. The selection of food on the menu catered for all kinds. The portion sizes and the quality of the food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Well worth visiting and you wouldn’t be disappointed.

I have reported on several reviews on this bar. The food is amazing in quality and value. The staff are excellent and helpful and all appear to believe in the company policy of good service and food with the added value of drinks at acceptable prices. Well worth a visit. In addition to the set menu make sure you get the changing specials menu

Nicely appointed with fairy lights and flowers but with the dim lights and silvery theme I can’t help but feel like it’s the Christmas season! Drinks nice but generic in comparison with the gin bar. Music a sensible level too. Nice place to go!

Lovely staff great atmosphere superb food. Reasonable priced. Will be coming back very soon. Live music twice a month on a thursdsy also fund raising events cant wait to come back.

Lovely food excellent service brilliant night

Been a couple times over the last month and cannot fault it. The food is exceptional and such good value. My favourites are the marinated lamb on the specials and the salt and pepper king prawns.

I have visited on numerous occasions in differing party sizes and the food, service and hospitality has always been excellent!

Having had lots of evenings of drinks in Long Bar, tonight was the first night I tried the food menu. The food was amazing. Good selection lots of meat, fish and veggie dishes so something for everyone. Very fresh, quick service and very yummy food. Can’t wait for the next time.

Varied menu 3small plates for15.00 ,very helpful friendly staff ,the restaurant has aircon which I felt was great as it was a warm muggy evening .No sweets are available but to be honest we didn't manage to finish our main course and staff were happy to package it up for us to bring home ,lovely sounding cocktails are available ,I was happy to just have prosecco which went into bucket which clipped onto the table what a great idea

First time here for either drinks or eats. Sunday lunch out. Charming waitress. Full tapas menu and traditional Sunday lunch. Three opted for traditional. All good. My tapas was also good. I have had better but no complaints on portion size! Very goid value for money all round.

This has become a regular haunt for us ... we eat out a lot and this is unquestionably the best food in Bramhall. Good atmosphere, good service and I always feel I’ve got value for money. Great to see an independent bar doing so well ...

A lovely choice of small plates which we concentrated on. All were excellent. Only word of advice is they were not that small.
