Project 53 in Cheshire East

This used to serve the best pizza for miles but the pizza chef left: : not sure what it like now for food. However, a great place with excellent beers : great for early doors

Still going strong. Great selection of local and guest ales with friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious pizza and a lovely venue. Easy to get to. Thank you.

Great bar , very basic / industrial feel , very new and clean and an upwardly mobile crowd

Pizza mate is unreal, loved the pizza and garlic bread!!

Great evening, pizza was top notch and dealt with my allergies without complication

Really enjoyed our evening at Project 53. Pizzas from Pizza Mate were delicious.

Beer is decent, but unfortunately the service is very poor. Staff seemed half-asleep and kept disappearing upstairs for ages. Customers were walking out as there was no one at the bar.

Friday evening and most bars in Knutsford were heaving. Project 53 almost empty. Discovered why, very loud group of friends spread out near the bar with dogs roaming free (I love dogs but having to step over them at the bar/watch as their wee is moped up is a bit much) making for a generally unpleasant experience. Hopefully a one off, but will there be a next time, not sure with so much choice on offer in the town.

Friday Night (open till 00:00) The Staff didn't serve any more at 22:00 (espacally themselve and some special guest's)..... Saftladen!

Lovely little bar in Knutsford. They do lovely cocktails and the attention to detail with the drinking glasses they use makes it feel that extra special. Wanted to share this as things like this makes you remember certain places. We came again on the 17 December with a group of friends, all couples. We were looking forward to having a few drinks here after such a positive experience last time. Unfortunately when we arrived just before 10pm on. Saturday Night there was already a group of people inside drinking. As soon as we entered the bar the staff told us they were closing due to running out of drinks . When we asked what drink they had run out of he informed us he had run out of beer, coke and ice. Clearly he was assuming this would be what we wanted to order, when in fact we wanted something totally different.It was clear they no longer wanted to take anymore orders as they wanted to close early. I feel I needed to raise this review in case the owner is unaware that her staff are closing early, which indicates to customers that don’t want to be bothered serving anymore. This could impact a business significantly and it would be a shame to see such a nice place close due to being inconsistent with their closing times..

Great outlet for Mobberley Brewery. Three real ales. Went for the Golden ale, Summit. Three real ales plus craft fizz. Opened at 5pm so first customers. Good beer but card only..so only 4 stars from me because of this. Otherwise please visit.

We had four excellent pizza and good beer and wine. Very friendly service and great value. nice music playing

Simple but good pizzas at great price.Enjoyed the choice of beers too.

Great beer, great food, great service.

Came here for a drink with my wife on our anniversary. Advertised as a beer, gin, cocktail and wine bar. The bar man was very obnoxious and condensing when asked if they could make my wife a cocktail off their limited menu. Btw, they close at 9 not 10 on a Sunday

Great place to go for a drink with a wide selection of beers and gins.

Very quiet and limited menu 🤔 the pizza was average

Interesting choice of beers and friendly staff.

We just love this place, great atmosphere

Great selection of craft ales from MBH in a fantastic bar.

Lovely find, modern rustic with a limited menu but excellent food. Dog friendly, big plus. Recommend.

Excellent, choice of music needs to be more chilled thou. Pizza is excellent

Great Al fresco dining hope this will become a regular thing

Excellent place the ales and pilsner perfect totally enjoyed. Pizza was excellent would go again what a lovely place to enjoy fantastic ales and they sell gins and the food super go and have a great time 😊🍻

Brilliant pizzas with lots drinks options! We had two different pizzas and shared them both. Can’t say which one was better as we loved them both! So delicious with rich ingredients and really good and crispy dough! Very comfy seating as well! Liked the high comfy chairs. Ambiance was cool, not loud but rather nice music and good for chatting to friends without shouting loud ;) Loved the selection of drinks as well. Plenty of local gins and my choices was great! I absolutely enjoyed it! Thank you for the team who served us!

Lovely ipa, friendly atmosphere, reasonably priced

Perfect spritz, and really good garlic bread.

Great bar, staff very pleasant, pizzas are amazing. Go if you've not been

Absolutely brilliant loved the pizza 🍕 and beers 🍻

Pleasant enough bar with friendly staff. Had a good Dry Cider from what looked like a drinks menu of smaller select breweries. Not cheap but where is in Knutsford?

Great bar with nice lager/ale/ipa, been a couple of times and today they offered me a free drink!

We called in for a few beers before a meal and really enjoyed the experience. Good quality craft beers in a great room which was ideal for conversation.

We wanted to visit Project 53 in Knutsford after going to the one in Stockport last year. We visited twice over my boyfriends birthday weekend and really enjoyed it. Good selection of beers and we would really recommend the pepperoni pizza bites!

Lovely atmosphere and great selection of drinks. Fantastic place for a relaxing drink.

Excellent pizza, great beer, and relaxed atmosphere.

My favourite bar in Knutsford! Laid back and understated. Love the beer, great atmosphere and good service.

Good locally brewed beer and tasty pizzas.

Great little craft beer bar. Good selection of unique beers. Good atmosphere. Recommended.

Good beer in a friendly environment. Pizzas were great too. Does well to keep it simple with range of beers / gins and pizzas - deserves to do well!

Mobberley craft beers and guests, right in the centre.

Decent range of craft beers, lovely sharing platter, nice staff and a great place to spend a Saturday

Great atmosphere, is busy enough and great pizza. Well worth dropping in.

Interesting diner with selection of beers and pizzas. Dog friendly! Toilets upstairs so not access friendly.

Nice pub with live music. A good selection of beers.

Great veg sharing plate and dogs made welcome

Great pizza and good quality drinks. Discreet position. Good for romantic interludes.

Always good service at Project 53

Great staff, fantastic pizza and drinks

Great selection of local beer served in a cosy welcoming setting with friendly staff. Can't go wrong. Mixture of families, some with dogs, couples, and friend groups while we were there. The pizza looked good. Was plenty of space upstairs if downstairs is full. Enjoyed the street party while the street was closed.

Recently moved to Knutsford and didn't even know they had little bars down a side street. This one is the best soo far in Knutsford. Lots of gin and strong IPA's. Dog friendly too

Great beers and even better pizza :-)

Visited this place several times with friends and family. They have a great range of beers and gins. The pizza’s are the best I have had for a while!!

Nice atmosphere, good pizza. Had a good night.

We live in Knutsford and are huge fans of many of the bars and pubs. We’ve been to Project 53 before for a few drinks and thought it was ok. We went today and had some drinks and pizza and actually enjoyed it more. They have a great selection of beers and some wonderful gins but they are a little gimmicky by putting sweets in the gin making it feel a little cheaper like Revolutions. They play some great music, the staff are helpful and they have an upstairs setting area as well. The pizzas are also excellent and they have a vegan offering as well. Will definitely go back but there are preferred places to go drinking in town.

Absolute stunning place food awsum atmosphere awsum magic place

Visited with a couple of friends last month for a few beers. Staff are great and really clued up. Will definitely be back

Awesome food, great atmosphere. Really recommend the wine, some great ones on there. Really friendly staff

Good gins, dog friendly and helpful staff. A great place to go in knutsford.

We came here this weekend from Macclesfield after reading all the good reviews and I guess they were all from friends of the owner/ staff. Insanely priced drinks, £6.50 for a beer, £10 for a house wine. We gan get cheaper in the centre of London! No atmosphere. Clueless staff (at least the fella behind the bar seemed really out of his dept having to deal with all of 2 orders at once). We even got a splinter off the shoddy furniture. Maybe they should drop their pretentions (AND PRICES!)

Nice bar, the staff are all passionate about the beer that they both brew and sell. This a tap for Mobberley Brewhouse. Well worth a visit.

A great place with a huge range of beers. The vegan ones taste wonderful, but do look a bit strange.

We stumbled across this place by accident and I’m glad that we did! Excellent selection of gins and we had the gin teapot which was lovely. Also, one of the best pizzas I’ve had for some time. Looking forward to coming back again :)

Great place. But seriously only 2 toilets....

You have to choose your time to visit, it's often empty! They need to offer some guest ales as it's all their own offerings i.e. Mobberley Ales

After seeing a review in the beer magazine Out Inn Cheshire we felt we must visit,and great it was from the start was a really warm welcome & such a nice place.The beer was excellent(3 cask) & a short but interesting wine list.We ordered pizzas which were truly excellent.We couldn't fault anything and will be back soon.But it was the lovely staff who capped it all!!!

Excellent beer & pizza. Nice atmosphere.

Lots of craft beer choices, and fab pizza available

Excellent friendly staff. Nice setting but very pricey.

Having failed to get into Gusto tonight (as they were far too busy!) we floated round Knutsford in desperate need of a good pizza, not the rubbish piccolinos et al serve, but good, tasty pizza. We stumbled across Project 53 on Minshull Street and I feel I must share with you, my fellow Mobbites, what a great evening we’ve had. I’m no relation to, or have any monitory interest in the Mobberley brewing company near the Church Inn at Mobberley but these guys have opened up in Knutsford to serve their excellent ales, lagers and a various amount of great gins. To go with their drinks they have a small menu of bar food and snacks. We had olives and chilli smoked nuts to start followed by 2 varieties of pizza, all fab and I highly recommend you pay these local boys a visit, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Don’t expect silver service but do expect, good, simple food, good drinks, good music and a good atmosphere. A rare, honest find.

Nice themed bar. Good selection of drinks.

Good bar, good variety of Craft Beer and the staff are nice.

I absolutely love this place. They’ve got such a good selection of gin and beers. Every time we go in they have new beers on tap which means you’re always trying something new. As for Gins they have a wide selection (orange marmalade is a must try). Staff are really friendly and the place has a good atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and if you get hungry you can always order wood fire pizzas at the bar.

Great new bar with plenty of ales and a wide variety of gins. Staff are friendly and happy to recommend a drink

My husband went for the first time on a Christmas party and promptly took me 2 nights later as he was so impressed.

Managed to reserve an area of the bar for a short notice Christmas drink-up with colleagues and friends - Olly was very helpful in sorting this out.

Came to visit the Knutsford Project 53 having been to and loved the Stockport Project 53. These guys serve a great range of fabulous beers, huge selection of unusual gins, some great wines and the best pizzas ever! This bar has a really cosy, intimate feel. The décor is great and the staff really enthusiastic and attentive. A must visit place and we will be back!

Nice place, pizza very tasty- light, crispy, lots of flavour. good selection of beers. Child friendly. Prompt service all made for a pleasant visit with a nice view of the street.

Went to Project 53 tonight for a early evening drink great choice of wines and fab beers Decided to have a pizza which was very good Recommend you try it
