Malt Dog in Salford

Small but with a good alternative soundtrack, hadn't heard some of the bands in years. Nice selection of beverages. Couldn't provide any details on the food as we didn't have any. Toilets are upstairs.

Small independent pub with some on road outside seating.Good atmosphere.

Excellent for a few drinks and certainly before eating at one of the many restaurants in the area. Staff are friendly. A good selection of craft beers. Wine is limited as is the norm in a micro pub but adequate. Managed to get a seat outside on a busy Friday night,

Undeniably the best pub in Monton, probably Eccles too. Decent craft beer, lovely people and incredible open mics, couldn't go anywhere else!

One of mine and my girlfriends favourite places. Mortimers cider 👍🤘🤘 Really chilled atmosphere for watching the world go by. Quality tunes as well as a bonus 👍

Nice bar. Enjoyed my drink, great value

I was visiting from Toronto, Canada, and this was one of the highlights of my pub experience . Live music and beers, what more could I ask for.. ? 🇨🇦🇨🇦👍

MaltDog is an intimate venue offering a great selection of beer which changes frequently. Every time you visit there is an opportunity to experience a new flavour and the selection is always tasteful. Service is always lovely and welcoming. I particularly enjoy the music selection: playlists of Alternative Rock and Metal which could be from my own Spotify playlist. With an upstairs area offering more tables and sofas I have never had a problem finding a seat even on a busy night. Best bar in Monton! We love you Malt Doggy Dog! 🐕

Great little place. Dog friendly, great pint!!! They even let you get a pizza from next door and eat in the bar!!!

A warm and cosy bar selling excellent European beers, with a great choice of background music. Nicely furnished with affordale prices.

A great bar in Monton with a good selection of craft beers, staff are always great and welcoming.

This bar is amazing, from the selection of alcohol to the staff's amazing service. I was out on a stag do and the staff took care of the entire party despite any mess or noise. They were just amazing.

We love the selection of lager here. It's informal. You can bring dogs so it's nice for a pint after a walk. Always busy on the weekend but friendly.

A busy Saturday but plenty of seats outside - even in October ! The Verdant IPA was particularly good tonight !

Nice craft/ draft beer place. Cosy. Has an upstairs.

They asked has it changed. The answer is No

Small real ale pub with good selection of cask and keg ales and ciders. Friendly staff, and a pleasant atmosphere

Top range of beers on tap and of excellent quality too ! Reasonable prices too. Nice wooden decor with outside, pavement seating (though partitioned off). Well-recommended.

Nice bar, with a good beer selection and a nice selection of other drinks

No nonsense local pub with a cracking selection of beers on tap. Board games are upstairs if you want them and dogs and welcome.

Love it here, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Nice little bar with a good selection of beers and spirits

Recently had a leaving do here and it was brilliant. Dan was really responsive to my initial enquiry and all my questions in the lead up to the event. We used the space upstairs and it was a great for around 15-20 people. I preordered some welcome drinks and they were all laid out waiting for us as requested. When I arrived, the staff member at the bar was expecting me and gave us a really warm welcome. They were really helpful throughout and we were allowed to bring our own decorations. Would definitely recommend, finding somewhere local was really important to me and Malt Dog didn’t let us down!

Great local. Had forgotten how good!

The malt dog, is one of the best if not the best beer caves in monton, it has a brilliant open mic night run by the self proclaimed “papa flamingo” who dazzles and entertains like no other once a month, and that Dolan fellas not to bad either on the alternate one, the bar is staffed by “swoosh girl” recognisable by her camel like eyelashes and is nothing but a delight and makes the experience of drinking exotic beers just that more delectable, it’s eclectic music which I can only describe as analog jellyfish metal makes it a experience one can’t miss out on when venturing to the area! 10/10 would recommend!🙌🏻

Such a great pub! Katie, Tim & Dan are lovely!

Great drinks, Atmosphere, friendly knowledgeable staff, The owner really knows how to look after his beers

Love this place has so many great ales beers and ciders of choice from so many different countries has such a laid back cool vibe and the bar service is fantastic very friendly and attentive.. its also great for dog walkers who want to grab a crafty pint

Nice little bar in a busy street.

Not a big choice of beers as I would expect Only 1 bitter Still a good place for a night out though

Good selection of beers..there were no cask ales when I visited.. quite small but staff and customers are friendly

My favourite place to go for a drink in Monton. Really good selection of beer including from local breweries, and available in 2/3rds. I only tend to drink beer here but they also have wine, fizz and a good range of whisky and gin and I love an aperol here in the summer! Dan is doing an awesome job, always makes you feel so welcome even if you’ve never been in before you will feel like you’ve been going for years. The staff are great friendly and willing to chat about the beer and recommend if you’re not sure what to have. Open mic every fortnight is ace and we’ve been to a gin tasting event which was great fun. Sometimes downstairs gets busy but there’s plenty more space upstairs and a small outdoor seating area in front. Dog friendly too!

Dan is very passionate and knowledgeable about his brews. Nice friendly place

Well kept ales (cask and keg, but all craft) loved the Shindigger last week. The bar is in a cosy, comfortable environment, and has many local clientele. The bar also has a decent wine list and a good selection of malt whiskies too. The Owners and their team always make you feel welcome and valued.

We went for our engagement party with a small group of about 20 people and the owners were more than accommodating and the atmosphere was great not a single complaint everything was amazing couldn't recommend anywhere better

Nice friendly bar. Good atmosphere. Toilets could do with a bit of sprucing up.

Nice atmosphere, great selection of beers good music what more can you ask for.

Great atmosphere and nice selection of beers. Dog friendly, games upstairs and can even bring over your Homeboys pizza if your feeling hungry! 👍🍻

Brilliant choice of beers. Very knowledgable staff. Good vibe. My first visit but I will be back. By the way, this place us in Monton, about 2 miles from Eccles.

Cool place. Loved the upstairs section with games and chilled vibes. Nice decor, great music, friendly people and good range of beer. It was really rammed on a Saturday night and would’ve liked a bit more ventilation but really loved it and will return.

Shaun was great and we had really good beers there. Best use of a Thursday afternoon

Great place , good atmosphere Top tunes. Check it out.

A belter of a Basque IPA worth the visit alone. Good crowd in there too

... so very busy as the quintet did take over around a quarter of the bar so sitting outside was the only option. Luckily, it was a lovely evening.

Small, atmospheric place with live music, and top beers!

Well kept ales (cask and keg, but all craft) in a cosy, comfortable bar. Excellent wine list and a good selection of malt whiskies too. Dan, Becky and their team always make you feel welcome and valued.

This is a local that makes everyone feel welcome (and I am someone who gets anxious trying new places sometimes). They offer a really great selection, and not just the beers but also spirits and non-alcoholic options (haven't sampled any wine there, sorry), and the staff are always knowledgeable and really friendly. Have been in multiple times and always impressed. Dog friendly too. Highly recommend.

Great pub, with cask ales and friendly owners

Love this place, so friendly and happy to service. To the point of a nice cup of tea for a tidy girl. (not on the menu).. 😁

Good little bar. The manager asked what I like and gave me a recommendation - very nice as well

Great selection of beers, knowledgeable staff. I love the tray of 3 small glasses of you want to try a few.

Having frequented every bar in Monton I have to say that this is not only my favourite but in my opinion the best. Since Dan the new owner has taken over he has spent a lot of time making the refurbishment a lovely place to be. The selection of beers is fantastic and Dan is always introducing new ones to keep any beer fan interested.

Great beer, great tunes, great service. Really like what they’ve done with the place. Exceptionally friendly owner. Will be back for sure!

Great beer, friendly atmosphere, dog friendly and lovely staff!

Fantastic venue, great atomosphere! We love coming to play the board games and try new beers, cant wait to visit again!

Just for clarity my son (Dan)has taken over Malt Dog from The original owner. He has taken time during lockdown to refurbish the whole place giving it a contemporary retro but importantly relaxing atmosphere. Well behaved Dogs are more than welcome As soon as covid restrictions are lifted its his intention to start the live music events again along with many other activities including Whisky, Gin, Wine and of course Craft beer tastings. The bar is frequented by really friendly local people Dan has a wealth of knowledge in the hospitality business running the officers mess whilst in the army managing craft beer pubs in Australia for several years to being a cocktail mixologist in alchemist He definitely knows how to look after beers and will be sourcing new breweries to guest different beers in the future. Of course I’m biased but we wish him all the best and please go along and have a drink and a chat

Great pub. Friendly staff and lovely beer.

Donna and her crew make this one of my favourite places in the world! Cracking range of craft lagers, the staff are brilliant and Donna's the queen of warm welcomes

My partner and I love this place! He’s a serious beer drinker and enjoys the wide selection on offer. We’ve been a few times now, travelling to Monton from the other side of Manchester because the atmosphere is great. It’s such a friendly spot and we always have a good laugh with the staff and customers. Looking forward forward to our next night out in Maltdog and would highly recommend. Cheers guys.

Nice friendly place with a great selection of beers and wines

Tempted and teased when I saw the Paulaner tag on one is the taps bit unfortunately not the wheat beer. However the Weinstephaner was a decent alternative. Good craft ale selection

Great beer, friendly bar in a lively village.

Popped in a couple of nights ago, not many people in but it looked a nice place

We called in here before and after a meal out in Monton... Malt Dog is a great bar located on Monton's main High Street... The bar looks small from the outside but has an upstairs area as well... plenty of seats downstairs and upstairs - upstairs even has a couple of settees... Staff are friendly & welcoming... decor interesting and wood themed, with even a mural of the band 'The Smiths' upstairs... children & dogs are welcomed... There is a great drinks range with beers/largers/etc from around the world, plus three handpumps for cask ales... We enjoyed sitting in the window watching the world go by before going for a meal, then sitting upstairs on the comfy settees when we returned... well worth a visit!

Excellent range of beers for outside Manchester. Got served once the barman had finished telling his story. The beers we had were good but the markup on half pints was very wrong, and there is no economic reason for this). We like to taste several beers but the minimum mark up tonight was 20p (annoying but acceptable) to 70p (ridiculous).

Good pictures on the wall and beer.

Good guest ales Good atmosphere

Fab little pub . Really cool place stairs bit steep n only one lady n men toilet. But omg the beers ect they sell are Brill. Loved it here will be bringing my uncle from Dublin here. I kno he will love it.

Malt dog is a decent addition to the monton high street. There is some smashing beers on sale here at good prices. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the only down point is the cliquey atmosphere but I’m being picky. Nice terrace out front even if you do have to observe the balloons drinking over the road at The Park. Recommended

Good selection of various beers and wines, friendly atmosphere, dog friendly (appropriately enough for its name!), aboit 5 tables outside to sit as well as upstairs and downstairs indoor seating.

Great choice of beers and very friendly staff

Will not be visiting this place again. Staff threatened to chuck us out for being slightly loud just after buying 6 full drinks. Aren’t bars supposed to be loud? Rather than respectfully asking us to quiet down which we would off. They were rude and made us feel disgracefully un welcome. Do not visit if you plan on chatting between friends as it seems silence is all that is allowe.

Love this little craft ale bar, allows dogs! Would give it a 6th star!

Great beer and good conversation

Quality place nice atmosphere :)

Nice place to have a drink. Seating inside and outside. Wide selection of drinks at reasonable prices.

Good town centre bar with plenty of seating upstairs level too

Quite a good atmosphere but drinks are expensive. A lime and soda cost 2 pounds .That is a massive markup. Owner/ manager of the bar wasn't very friendly unless she already knew you and then you'd be ingratiated with her sitting in your company. Would like to go back but reluctant to now as the owners demeanor has slightly put me off.

Was a bit quet but that what was needed. Nice cherry beer and others.

this place is just dirty..the toilet walls behind the loos are covered in mould as is the bathroom window.. my hubby said the beer tasted like the lines haven't been cleaned..very grubby run by bits of kids..it has gone right downhill over the last year

Good little bar, slightly expensive but not excessive

Its a shame the owner of this bar takes scrimping on the costs to new extremes. Too many examples to list, but please get real - our cosy homes are infinitely better than your frosty pub. Don't scrimp on putting a log on the fire because I'm loathed to pay £5 a pint to shiver when I drink it. Love the regulars and the staff are great - it's how the business is run, and it barely deserves the regulars it's got.

Always warm n welcoming with enough choice of drinx , has become integral part of the new monton experience, music experience pretty good. Chris n mandy. .😎

Always a great place for an afternoon weissbier!

The toilets are absolutely disgusting. I had to get my own toilet paper from the cupboard and there wasn't any towels to dry your hands on

Great real ale bar Nice friendly staff, great selection of real ale

Love having an afternoon out in Monton and this place I always visit top notch as per usual

Friendly atmosphere and great beer 🍻

Lovely place for a drink and, on the first Sunday of the month, live jazz! Good wine but no coffee! Dog friendly. 🐶👍

You can rely on this place for a cosy drink in a well presented bar that serves good quality German beers

Nice atmosphere, get in hsve a beer.

Cosy bar where plenty of events and things go on. Good selection of beers though could offer more in the way of other drinks. Friendly staff too

It’s a shame this bar is ran so poorly by the owner, it has the potential to be great. The atmosphere is terrible. There’s nicer places to visit and spend money than feeling as though you’re intruding on someone’s property by paying for their drinks

Great range of beers, rotating and keeping interesting new beers and ales on offer. Great service and entertainment.

Top beers slightly expensive but no overly in comparison to other places nearby..good vibe..

Classic monton bar, one of my regular spots.

Always a good atmosphere in here. Plenty of beer choice and also good selection of wine. It can get pretty full. Seating outside.

Good atmosphere to sit and drink

Cozy but buzzing with life this place has a fantastic range of craft brews to suit most tastes.

My husband was well impressed by the selction of ales but when he asked questions the staff seemed to have little knowledge of what they were selling. Tried to make conversation but they weren't interested. Nice little bar but marked down for the service.
