The Elk beer 🍺 goes down very nicely and a good choice of whisky 🥃 as well. Only reason not 5* was they got my final drinks order wrong 🤪 Didn't eat anything so can't rate that!

£34.50 for a bottle of Prosecco. Jesus Christ! Second round, ordered a bottle of cava that was advertised on a board as £28.50 and still charged £34.50 as the board ‘needed updating’. Know it’s Hale but this is still an absolute pisstake.

Good pint selection, fair prices. I’m disappointed that I’ve lived in the area for a this long without going in. The individual screens at each booth are a huge positive for football, too often I’m in a bar and leave with a sore neck trying to get a good view - not the case here. Will be making this our go to spot for casual drinks/football now, really impressed. There were some negative reviews on here about wait times at the bar - not our experience whatsoever.

Great little bar in middle of Hale with good gins all round! Still as good as ever but they run the new cocktail bar Westgate across the road which has no TV's which is 100% better so visit both will be my recommendation!

I visited the Elk on the evening of 23rd September before going out to a restaurant in the village. On arrival I stood at the bar for 5 minutes without any service, a rude barman then appeared and informed that I had to sit and wait for table service. We waited a further 25 minutes without any service, in that time the one barman walked past our table several times going outdoors for a period of time without any acknowledgement to the fact we had not been served. I appreciate that this is a challenging period for business, I would however strongly recommend visiting another bar if you expect any level of service.

Great atmosphere and as the night went on other friends joined the group.

Regularly stop off on our walks through Hale. Small place so it can get busy. You can reserve a table which can be useful. A few televisions on the wall so always good to catch a football game. Choice of beers et. is really good and they often have specials (the wife likes the gin specials!!). Dog friendly place.

Manager said that I picked the most expensive wine - Sauvignon Blanc !, just as well I didn't ask for a Sancerre! This place will always be busy but it's a rip off bar with nothing special about it at all . I had to clear a dirty table tables of drinks and bottles before sitting down whilst the staff just looked at me and didn't even say thanks. Will not be back

We have visited this bar on several occasions. Great beers and nice atmosphere and friendly bar staff. The bar is attracting too many dog owners (seems to be a trend) who see fit to frequent with their four legged friends. The bar isn't massive and it was starting to get a bit ridiculous with 4-5 pooches in there too. Especially annoying when the dogs start to bark. Ignorant owners let them get in the way of access to the bar area and sniff around those queuing at the bar. It's a shame as it puts me off what could be a nice little watering hole.

This place is not bad. Always quite lively, but rather small. The size means that if you get one largish party turn up (say8-12 people) then it will feel overcrowded very quickly, but then jump to feeling deserted by time they leave. Difficult to strike a right balance. Also, there is only one bathroom each for men and women, so the queue can get quite long. The drinks are rather expensive for what they are. Given that the place has more of a pub feel and look to it, you would think prices were a bit more reasonable. It's a nice enough venue, just watch the step if you are sitting at a table. Finally they also have a downstairs area which you can book out for occasions which may fit 30-40 people comfortably (providing they are shorter than 6'2", as head space is pretty limited).
