The Station Pub in Tameside

Great Community pub, very friendly landlord and customers. Like pubs used to be in the good old days.

Excellent community pub with free live music and friendly and helpful staff. Looking forward to going back!

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.

Great pub, great people, and great atmosphere.

Been 3 times in a week for tea with my mum and dad.Good job by kitchen staff and good job to the people who work behind the bar. Looking forward to the station fest.can’t wait to come back!!

Some life changing stuff going on here... #WSO

Pauline's is a place for free meals to the homeless she and her staff do an excellent job

This pub is scruffy and I mean scruffy

Great entertainment. Great staff very friendly x

Small, full of atmosphere and characters. Great staff.

One of the best pubs out there with exceptional staff and the best landlady you can get. Every single gig I have played here has been amazing!

Fantastic little gem of a pub with a true community spirit. The lovely staff go above and beyond to help however they can and love a bit of banter. Highly recommended

Lovely pub run by Lovely people

Pauline helps the homeless. I delivered supplies to help

A traditional pub, with sound, all round values, decent beer, and a dedication to community commitments, such as providing food and other help to those in need.

Great atmosphere, friendly service . Interesting old photos on the walls, and regular events

Brilliant pub, good beer, excellent staff. They have live music and are always welcoming.

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. 😀

Now open again with 2 changing real ales available.

A beautiful pub ! Good beers ! Live entertainment! No one is judged in here we shall overcome amazing charity !

Not open as a pub until May. A hub for the homeless, vulnerable and people in need of food. Pauline the landlady does an excellent job in feeding, helping and directing people who need help finding somewhere to live.

Its homeless station to receive hot food

Friendly, helpful lovely people

The work that Pauline and WSO is wonderful, deserve medals, daily.

Proper pub. Loved by people who love live music, good conversation and the general love of humankind.

Pauline is someone that is very special and unique. Selfless to a fault.

Ace community pub good bands good beer nice people. What more could you want

Love watching bands play here, a diamond in the rough 💎

A blast from the past pub with open fire, real ale and memorabilia in abundance, great live music and biker friendly.

Wonderful friendly community pub. Ran by great people.

This is the hub of the 'we shall overcome' homeless charity. Its also a community meeting place and the friendliest of spaces. Great bands and open mic nights on a regular basis. Pauline the landlady is a local legend

It's like being home from home!

It's an old school pub, very homely with friendly staff and the landlady does a lot to help and feed the homeless through a charity. Called WSO.

Love it, proper back street pub, great music venue, do lots for charity,left wing. What's not to love

Good music but beers a tad deer

Made very welcome and friendly atmosphere

Amazing pub, best landlady in the world.

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.

Went to meet friends and see a band who were very good. The drinks are cheap and locals were friendly and chatty. Had a good night. A little run down but good people and free live music, brilliant

Slightly odd but friendly little pub. Serves good beers and the open mike nights are well attended!

Great music venue, very old school, could improve on the lager selection

Wonderful atmosphere and great business with its heart at the centre of the community.

Great night at the station good beer

It depends on what beer is on offer, however I have never had a bad experience there. Bar staff very friendly and helpful.

Only ever been in here once, felt like I was in a strange town no atmosphere whatsoever

Best pub in Ashton, live music, great ale and the best Landlady in the uk

Great Little Place Woz Our First Time Visiting (We Went To Their Poetry Night Which Is The Last Sunday Of Every Month) We Woz Made To Feel Very Welcome Buy Staff And Their Customers Lots Of Lovely Banter Between The Regulars We Only Had Soft Drinks But They Were Very Reasonably Priced All Round Great Night And Hope To Go Back Again If Not For The Next Poetry Night Then Possibly Before (We Aren't Really Social Drinkers (Or Drinkers, Or Social 😂 But We Had A Lovely Night And Would Happily Go Again For Events (But Not Karaoke 🎤) Thank You To The Staff For The Warm Welcome Duk

The friendliest and most community minded pub around.

Great place, live gigs, cheap beer. What else do you want?

Always excellent real ale and a true welcome from Pauline and her team. Best live music in the area and Pauline's work to support homeless people in Ashton is truly humbling! Any excuse I can find to escape Oldham you'll find me propping the bar up! Druid X

A good and friendly atmosphere lots of live punk and rock music played hear

Nice little local pub with welcoming staff and good ale

Excellent pub, always worth a visit. Good hosts, great music and a community hub too. Well worth our support

Beer is expensive. It was cold. Beer tasted good. Has a lot of regulars. Had a good atmosphere. But was nearly empty when I walked in. Livened up later on. Landlady was nice. And liked the dog. A bit out of the way.

Atmosphere was great with good drinks and concert but it's a free house.

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!

Great atmosphere and staff, eclectic live music, great beer and does great work for the local community.

Fab pub good open mic night enjoyed the pulse made guiness. they seem to prepare food parcels for the homeless great garden with books and crannies,pool table.

Fantastic place to go to enjoy good beer and good music. Such a friendly welcome from the bar staff and the land lady Pauline

Amazing people doing amazing things. Pauline is a real-life hero. And, folks really listen to the music. I love playing there.

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.

Proper old fashioned pub that helps the homeless and supports local musicians.

Fantastic little place, excellent atmosphere, nice outdoor areas, front and back and great for live music! Best part is that three landlady is heavily involved in fundraising and helping the local homeless population and by drinking here you are given an opportunity to support that.

Always a good friendly atmosphere

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.

Licensee and staff are extremely friendly, great atmosphere. Great old pub

Lovely biker friendly pub with great atmosphere and live music... Owner and staff are Very approachable and do many great things for the community

Great time and enjoyed playing gigs here to a differed crowed who always manages to please

Great real ales. Nice and cosy round the open fire .

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).

Down to earth pub .the landlady is lovely..

Great pub with fantastic live music.

Great pub for DIY punk gigs. Friendly staff. Good beer.

Great hospitality and friendly staff

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.

Really nice pub, friendly atmosphere. The owner does a lot of work with the homeless which makes it an even better reason to go for a drink and support the work. There is a lot of music happening throughout the week that is really enjoyable. DEFINITELY WORTH A VISIT!!!

A proper pub with a good sense of community. Always something happening. Good live bands with usually no admission fee. Decent beer, if they don't run out!

Decent. Bit expensive for drinks

A great atmosphere, great music. A second home, everyone is treated like family.

Welcoming, friendly, quirky, a great place to visit.

Good selection of guest ales and always a really friendly crowd.

Home from home with great friends music and real ale!

Caters mostly for the biker/rock music fan types. Good friendly pub but a bit cramped, with little seating, especially if there's a band on.

Nice & friendly old school pub, popular place for the nice biker folk, great staff, big hearted charity events and live music regularly. Pauline, Swampy, & Miv are some of nicest people you could hope to meet. A big 🖒

Quiet cosy and friendly. And a lovely open fire

A great little pub for live music and a great crowd. If you like to support your local community and local music this is the place to go.

A great selection of craft ales and fantastic live and local music. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Friendly real ale. regular gigs dj. just like being at home
