Northern Whisper Ramsbottom Tap Room in Bury

It looks like Northern Whisper Ramsbottom has now closed. This place could have been a great success. The bar manager was a great fellow but just pulled the beers and then played on his phone, ignoring what could be a solitary customer on their own who would have liked to have been acknowledged. The previous bar staff Lucy and Chloe in particular were very customer friendly and chatted with customers unfortunately in my eyes the bar went downhill when they left. The bar manager sadly didn't display that skill this in my opinion, leading to many customers not coming back or only having one drink and then leaving. Every Wednesday the handpull beers were £2 a pint this was hardly advertised anywhere in Ramsbottom it should have been plastered all over the windows to this day many Ramsbottom people were unaware of this promotion the bar if advertised correctly would have been packed. A major failing too in this modern age is that there was NO disabled male toilet access. Apart from these very big failings, the beer was always on top form and excellent.

My bus wasn't for 35 minutes, so I popped in here and I was glad I did. I had a pint of IPA, which was amazing, and very zingy. The place was near empty, but it was warm and to be honest very homely. The barman was very nice and great taste in music, playing great tunes, like Stoned Roses and more. I enjoy my drink ,infact ordered 2 cans to take away. Unfortunately I forgot to take some photos. So please it's right on the corner at the top of Ramsbottom main street try it.

I enjoyed a gin and a cider here. My husband enjoyed the beers. There were too many young children climbing around to relax properly, hence the 4 stars. It's a really nice place, though, if you're ok with kids.

Great pub for beer lovers. Usually 4 on cask and a range of keg beers. Highly recommend a pint of openchopps only £3.50 a pint.

Love coming here for a chilled pint, along with the dog 😊

Great place, rotating beers and lovely atmosphere

Microbreweries seem to be popping up in the UK now, which are a welcome change from the major distributor owned pubs all serving the same beers. Northern Whisper offered a nice selection and is in a a great little town where a few places can be sampled within a short walk. I'd give it a 5 if I'd sampled a few more selections, and the staff could have described a bit more about what they had on tap. Nobody is going to ask a barkeep to describe a Thwaites Original Ale, but in microbreweries or bars focusing on small local brewers, such insights are expected. I will certainly stop in more often the next time across the pond.

Great place to have a quiet pint and a chat, good beers and a good choice with plenty to choose from their own brewery. My wife loves shake a leg and yet not a beer fan,so there is something for everyone . No food served.

Nice place, basic and functional, very friendly staff and good beers

Lovely place for a drink. Great real ale. Please support it! Would like to have stopped longer to get merry. Good luck.

Always a nice vibe in the NW 🤘🙌🍺

I'm a big fan of the NW bar in Rawtenstall, but our experience here didn't live up to expectations. At 10pm on a Saturday night I expected at least a bit of life, but the place was joyless. The staff were disinterested and seemed keen to close up early so that they could get home. Like them, I won't be looking forward to a return.

Nice bar in Ramsbottom, choice of ales and various other drinks. Basic bar area, but matches the theme. Worth a visit.

Nice bar with a good beer selection and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great Place. CentrL Ramsbottom. Advise check open times. & hrs before walk up Bridge St for it. Ales Great. Wed. £2 pint selected Ales.

Staff always friendly and helpful. Plenty of great beers, nice atmosphere. Fantastic place that we often go to.

Sparse, uncomfortable seating, although to be fair it is more of a drinking establishment rather than cosy pub. Great price on Wednesday's, £2.00 a pint for cask ale and the barmaid was very friendly.

Great place to be with friends and enjoy real beers.

Great selection of locally brewed beers. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit!

Great place for cask beer and as an added bonus male voice Rossendale choir sang Warm friendly atmosphere

Recommended visit, great choice of drinks & on Wednesday some cask ales are discounted.

A well placed typical trendy bar with pared-back decor of wooden floors, long sharing tables or converted wooden topped barrels selling unusual local beers. Situated on the corner at the at the traffic lights on the main road through Ramsbottom, what was originally a lighting shop for many years.

Great local brewery and they have a special £1.50 per pint on Wednesdays.

Lovely place, some good Ales on sale, you can easily miss it, looks like another shop, was clean and tidy

All day Wednesday cask ale 1.5 a pint. Glorious.

Lovely atmosphere....half price pints on Wednesdays....highly recommended...very friendly staff...Dog friendly as well....unbeatable value....

Good ale house, seating not too comfortable

Fabulous place to watch the world go by

Nice tap room, excellent selection of beers

Great beer great atmosphere. Nice to see it in Ramsbottom

Great, nice and warm and lots of reasonably priced real ale,

Wish I had time to stay longer. A very friendly welcome and top quality ale at incredibly low prices.

New on the block but very welcoming and lovely selection of beers

Excellent tap room Superb beers and super friendly staff. One of my favourite Wednesday is great for bargain beer £1.50 a pint on all cask ales. What's not to love!!!

Great pub. Great cask beers brewed by the owners

Great choice of unique beers and a friendly atmosphere.

Another great little bar in Ramsbottom..Good staff and excellent beers

Great town centre brewery tap. Spacious & clean with plenty of seating. Oh and great beer of course. Loved it.

A great asset for the town and a welcome addition to the Ramsbottom real ale scene. Situated at the traffic lights in the centre of town this local brewery tap bar (Northern Whisper) is a breath of fresh air. Featuring a good selection of their available ales (usually up to 5 on cask) they also have several of their keg craft ales on tap too. Definitely worth a visit, with friendly staff & clean loos too! Recommended.

Great beer, friendly staff not hideously expensive. Will be making it a regular stop off

Good selection of beer and spirits, helpful staff, nice atmosphere.

Great beer and atmosphere. This Not sure Why the long face from this guy (any Big Country fans will get that one! )

Love the beers in here. The selection is great with a few lagers and some IPAs (probably others too...). Give them a try!

Has great beer, and it's £1.50 Wednesday

Lovely beer and relaxed atmosphere, stayed longer than expected due to chilled atmosphere. Lovely place for apint. Highly recommended.

Really nice inside, lots of different tables and options to sit. The beer selection was top notch with cask and keg options, I tried three different beers and they were all great. Attentive and quick table service. Great atmosphere and surroundings.

Friendly and efficient staff, excellent cask and keg ale made locally by owners. Plenty of choice to keep real ale AND lager drinkers happy!

Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Beer is very well kept and they offer a good variety including non alcoholic, cider and real ale
