An absolute gem, the likes of which we don’t have enough of nowadays. The walls of this totally unique community pub are bedecked with arcane treasures and curios in glass cabinets, art and photography, items of historical interest and perhaps a dozen Best Pub awards, which are well-earned because it’s a centre for community and arts activities as well as a proper boozer where strangers receive a warm welcome and a cold beer. The beer itself is perfectly looked-after with a good selection in the traditional pub style, the pub dog is a charmer, the building is phenomenal with grand high ceilings, sweeping red curtains, a conservatory and cozy alcoves with a real log fire blazing beneath the ornate Victorian hearth. The poetry night is superb on the 3rd Sunday of each month. An unusually high standard of work. The Station has heart and soul and history in spades. Best pub in Ashton, and depending on what you’re looking for, a contender for best pub in greater Manchester.

First time we’ve visited this pub (my partner lives in Ashton, I live in Manchester) and we’ll be back! Friendly bar staff/management, enjoyed our drinks, and it’s an interesting and great looking pub. Recommended.

CASH ONLY. Great hidden gem, few parking spaces outside, if not a bigger paid carpark close by. This cosy place has live music on and spoken word/poetry nights. It has an outside garden at the back. Welcomes all people. Check fb page for opening times as it is a community hub as well which makes it extra special. 😀

A great local that caters for everything and everyone from local Bands, Brass bands, even elastic bands if you need one . Lots of Charity nights. The pub itself is a well established free house selling all types of beers, lagers and ciders. It's quirky but modern, it's new, but it's not? Well worth a look up on Google to see just some of the things that are happening from here. Great community spirit in this pub. Oh and not forgetting Pauline, the Landlady that makes it all tick.

My old second home. The beer could be better, the PA isn't the best, there's still a host of guitars on the walls and there's still signs from over a decade ago. What can I say, I love it!!! If you want honest folk and the best punk and metal scene in Ashton, head down immediately!

An amazingly preserved, grade 2, listed building. Many of the original fixtures and fittings are still in place. There's real ale, various lagers and ciders and soft drinks available. The large, fully enclosed, beer garden, to the rear of the pub, is the perfect place for people with children. There's a conservatory that connects the beer garden to the pub. In here is a piano, a selection of books to read and table football can be found. With chesterfield sofas to sit on, a long, low table for your drinkarge windows that allow not only a clear view of kid's playing in the garden. Recently, one of the regulars re-upholstered all the seating. Pauline and Andy, the pub managers, host various events throughout the year raising thousands of pounds for various local charities. While all this is going on, besides the daily running of the pub. The pub is also a place where people, who for whatever reason are having to sleep on the streets, worrying if they are going to get through the night without being robbed of what little they have and being beaten up. The pub hands out packed lunches and food boxes daily, all made up by the generosity of local people and businesses. If all that's not enough they also help people to not only get a flat or house from the council, housing associations and local estate agents. The People being rehomed, usually have very few possessions. Once again, the pub tries to help as much as possible to furnish and decorate their new homes. All new faces, old or young are welcome and dogs are also welcome. So if you feel like trying somewhere new for a night out come on down and become one of the family.

A very special place. Brewery free, real ales, large back garden in the summer, roaring open fire in the winter. Very cosy feel, more like being around at a mates very big house. They also do a lot of great work in the local community (which they are a real part of because they're not owned by some corporate entity). Regular live bands in the evenings, especially when it comes to local rock, punk and metal. This is their life rather than just a job, and it shows. No fancy menu, just very reasonably priced drink and pub snacks the way it should be. Oh and of course when you are done, there is a ton of fast food and taxis to be had very close by.

I came here for a friends gig and it was a great, cosy atmosphere. However you could say that it was too cosy as there was little seating and the guitarists that were almost hitting people in the face (by accident) when they were trying to walk past to their seats (the band had a very small space to play in).

This is a great pub, a real pub, with books and games and music and good beer. You don't get many places like this anymore. I'd recommend it. Good real ale too. They have live music and and open mic night every other Wednesday. The staff and locals are friendly and the outside seating area is very interesting, if a little tired, Very friendly pub dog too.

I heard about Bees through a friend of mine, my word it was well worth the trip, it was a hidden gem, firstly all the staff were smiling, friendly, superb service and food was amazing, while I was there they invented a new croissant 🥐 white chocolate and pistachio, unreal! Keep up the amazing work, will be there in the next few weeks
