The Treacle Tap in Cheshire East

Nice real beer and food. Cosy and friendly. Not quite as good under Buxton Brewery cut good to see it re-open. 04-07-24 Sadly closed again with stripped out fittings and furniture with a sad now on the window from Buxton Brewery saying we tried 😥

Lovely little bar with really nice staff and great atmosphere

So happy this great little bar has reopened. Nice atmosphere and doesn't feel crowded even though bijou. Great choice of ales. Thanks Buxton Brewery.

Good selection of Buxton Brewery and other beers, friendly and helpful staff

Great addition to the Buxton Brewery family. Had a great choice of Buxton beers, the staff were very welcoming and friendly (Kymara and Molly). Will return when in Macc.

Great beer! Recently reopened and now part of Buxton brewery.

3 of us popped in (and stayed) whilst we were over to watch Buxton play Macc. Lovely beer, very welcoming, the pies are superb. Even went for another after the football. Cheers

One of best places in Macc. Real ale. Belgian beer. Great pies. And good atmosphere. Nothing more needed!

Fantastic little pub,visited for the first time yesterday. Good range of keg and cask beer. Really cosy feel to the place. Food was available too but i didn't have any. Definitely be visiting again.

Despite What Pub claiming this was closed we were happy to find them open. Friendly micro bar close to railway Station. Beers for all tastes. Lovely pint from Notts Castle Rock.On the Spritz. Ginger n Elderflower.. very refreshing.

Micropub serving craft cask and keg beers from across the UK. Stripped back interior, weekly events and a short menu of sharing platters, pies and small plates elevate this pub above the competition.

Wonderfully tasty pies and great beer selection. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Awesome beer selection and good vibe

Great pie 🥧 food beer staff were very helpful 👍

The Treacle Tap was sadly disappointing. We went into the bar and waited a few minutes before a member of staff appeared. The young man finally arrived, no smile, no eye contact just looking down and muttered what I think was an apology for keeping us waiting. The bar had a few people in it but didn't feel welcoming. Not in a 'you're not local' way but just felt......odd. We didn't even finish our drinks before we moved in. It's such a shame because it's nice inside but we won't be returning.

Cosy, little bar selling a great selection of bottled beers, particularly Belgian. Decent food available if you like pie peas and mash and deli style platters with cold meats. Games and books available as well as regular social events. Worth noting location is on a street affected by anti social drivers, so do take care.

Brilliant find, I had 30 mins, to get in, get fed & get out as I had the last train to catch to London. I asked the staff how long 10mins, let’s do it & im glad I did the food was delicious! When I have more time I’ll savour the ambience & enjoy a cider with it too🤘🏼

Shop conversion to nice little alehouse

Great little pub. Fantastic quiz on a Sunday Night. Cash prices. Several events on during the week. Food's alright, a little expensive but well worth the pennies.

My favourite bar in Macclesfield. Staff are lovely and so is the beer!

Always a good selection of beers, cosy bar and friendly nice atmosphere.

Came here before the match. Great beer in a friendly setting. Helpful staff. Recommended.

Fantastic bar, great beer and prices. A first time visit for us as we were in Macclesfield for a wedding reception but definitely be back. Cheers Daz

Lovely atmosphere and excellent home made meals.

Great food and Beer, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely, small, tasted some great ales/craft beers, my wife enjoyed the wines and we loved the food and snacks well worth a visit.

Lovely little pub, cant wait for them to re-open.

I go here regularly as its a nice micropub, and it also does a small selection of nice dishes. There are about 10 keg taps, and three of four cask beer to choose from most of the time, and they have a good selection of Belgian and German beers in the fridge. The bar staff are always friendly and able to offer suggestions if you aren't sure what you fancy.Its small and cosy, and feels welcoming.

Small but perfectly formed pub/bar. Great real ales & friendly staff.

A hidden gem. Been past in the car many times, took my son for a quick drink on the way home. Lovely place, great beers and great atmosphere.

Best pub in Macc. The staff are the friendliest people in the world and the pub quiz is great!

Excellent small pub with three cask ales.

Cosy little pub. Great beer selections. We had the spearing meat and potato pie, which was ok. Games and piano inside.

Superb beer food and service. Everything a pub should be.

Great selection of beers for a catch-up with friends. Belgian beer selection is excellent.

Chilled atmosphere, great staff and a fantastic array of ales and gins, very civilised!

Great range of beers and the food was excellent

We have had a great time in the Treacle Tap again, I go in quite a lot Great Beers and good company. !!!

Really loved this place. Punches well above it's weight and has curated a cool, quality selection with some specials from Belgium.

If you like beer, then this is the place in Macclesfield. Great selection, knowledgeable staff. Also, food is lovely. Fab place.

You get an extra star for asking so nicely. I'll pop back in soon see if we can get it up to 5 lol

Perfect little cosy bar with friendly staff

Like having a beer in your front room! Good selection of beers in a really cosy setting.

Good choice of beers and plenty of scheduled activity nights.

A little gem of a place. You just have to go and try it yourself #seeyousoon

Great little pub, excellent beers always available

Called in at The Treacle Tap for early evening drinks, bar is small but has a great selection of beers with something for all tastes, staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the bar has a nice relaxed atmosphere, shame we only had one night in Macc as we had lots of other places to try but the Treacle Tap is on the list for a return visit next time we stay over in town.

Awesome little café, 10 mins walk from Macclesfield train station.Vegan option / vegetable curry hotpot - spicy, tasty, homemade and delicious. Freshly made to order with a nan bread for the sauce Amazing choice of European brewed beers and infused gins.Nice vibe with chilled music and open mic / music nights.Highly recommended, if you need food when waiting for your train at the station!

Great little bar. Good selection of ales and Belgium beer. Also does food.

Alright bit of a local shop for local people vibe

Love the place. If I was a local I would use it as my regular.

Stopped in for. Quiet pint with a friend and the beers are very good, good range and well kept. Have a quiz on Mondays.

Amazing selection of beers and a warm cozy atmosphere! What more could you want?

Small but cosy with a great selection of local and foreign beers

Being coming here for several years now, but the service and food just petered out in both quality and quality. But now, things are becoming epic once more!!!!! Sean, the new manager, has started to build a really good vibe arena for both fine ales and good food, although we are aware that he doesn’t create the gastronomical delights they are now serving, his service to drinkers and eaters alike is faultless! He has been a breath of clean air in this hidden little gem and we are now waiting for better things, at last...“If it’s Not Broke! Don’t Fix it guys!!!

Great wee place with a few nice beers and ales available. Haven't tried the food yet but it looks nice! Dog friendly too. Recommended.

very good selection of beers and lagers

They give the answer to the quiz as the question and people didn't realise and kept arguing about it????? Geography is not a strong point!

Chilled out small and slightly more sophisticated bar with selection of interesting drinks. Live music on the night I visited.

I found this bar by accident during a brief stay in Macclesfield, it was very busy but the service was fast and pleasant and the beers of a very good quality, enjoyed my visit and when I am in Macclesfield again I would definitely call in here again for a couple of beers, recommended.

Impromptu guy on the piano great beer but a tad pricey overall fab night

I've visited The Treacle Tap on a number of occasions and dropped in there again last Friday with a couple of friends.Unfortunately we were disappointed for the following reasons:1) The live music was loud and did not allow us to talk to each other easily -- is an amplifier really necessary in a small bar like this ? Due to the noise we left after 1 drink.2) There were 3 beers on draught but each was a variant on pale ale -- more variety would be good.3) We asked to taste a couple of the beers before buying and a small sample was provided but only 1 glass, which we shared -- surely the bar can allow all interested parties to taste the beers ?

Decent enough but not the best selection of beers compared to five clouds and a lot more expensive.

Once again had a wonderful night here on Friday , Great live music with great staff and drinks will be back again soon :)

Lovely little place, look forward to the day when I actually have an alcoholic drink here! Been the non alcoholic versions on my past couple of visits

Great spot with really friendly bar staff. Just came for one pint but stayed for four! Will definitely be checking out the quiz night 😃

Good choice of beer nice staff good food especially the pies not expensive and a warm atmosphere I recommend 👍🏼

Superb friendly pub with three cask beers and a good choice of craft beer.

Not the kind of place you expect to find its small but amazing,

Stumbled on this place while visiting Macclesfield and was not disappointed. We needed to eat and although the menu was limited to a variety of starters and pies the quality was great. The pies are supplied by an artisan pie company and served with mash, peas and gravy which was most welcome on a rainy day.

I've been here a few times and tonight felt really at home. There's a really good atmosphere about the place.

Used to love this hidden little gem on Sunderland Street In Macclesfield when John and Aran ran the place. Since the new manager took over, he’s hardly around, they run out of food, they run out of ale, the bar man walks round with his underwear hanging out , it’s more empty than usual and the toilets run out of toilet paper and/ or they’ve run out of paper towels etc, etc...

Visited this lovely little real ale pub on a Sunday lunch time as a group of four and what a fantastic find this was. Will, the barman was riding solo but he couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The real ales were well explained and his wine knowledge was very good. We ordered four pies, mash and peas which Will cooked and served and everyone really enjoyed their meal. I had the chicken and Stornoway black pudding pie which was very very tasty and supplied by an artisan pie maker. I would highly recommend the Treacle Tap as it has really friendly atmosphere and excellent staff. If we're ever in Macclesfield again we will definitely pay the Tap a visit.

A gem of a place. Great decor, amazing range of beers (craft and real ales, on tap and in cans/bottles) and really knowledgable, helpful and enthusiastic staff. My responses to the other questions on this site are based on this being a bar and NOT a restaurant

You could almost think you were in Portland Oregon. Great bar, great interior, an amazing selection of high-quality drinks on keg and cask and in bottles and cans, and staff who really know about the stuff they're pouring. I could have spent far longer there than would have been healthy for my liver or my wallet.

Small venue but really nice with friendly staff. Food available with speciality being a varied selection of pies.Not your normal everyday pies however! Has a good selection of local brewery beers and you can also get tea and coffee.Nice,clean surroundings.and can be family orientated in the day but more of a drinkers pub at night as can get quite crowded. .Situated on a busy road but there is a public car park at the back of the premises .Worth a try if you like a pub with a nice atmosphere and no telly blaring out while you are trying to talk.

They offer some of the best pies around. Incredible range of bottled beers and always a nice selection available on draft. One small drawback is that the premises are somewhat small and so it can get cramped in here.

Lovely Sunday night pub quiz, great variety of ales and good pie and mash.

Fabulous loved the pies the atmosphere and wonderful staff

Awesome little bar. Great beer and Gin and really friendly :)

It doesn't feel like Macclesfield.

I had the cheese and Lancashire onion and my better half had the steak. The pies were fantastic as always and the gravy was particularly nice this week. I had the squawk and she had a pop. Always like the treacle tap. Perfect snow weather.

Nice cosy bar with good selection of beers. Easy walking distance to station

Drinking a well kept pint of awesome Squak session IPA. Always a great selection of beer here even though it's only 3 pumps .. Landlord chooses wisely and wonderfully. Food also good but very small menu and a tad pricey imo

Great place for a pie and a pint. Can recommend it.

Small, cosy good atmosphere. Excellent real ales plus more on offer, now a favourite.

Friendly - beers very well kept - and good prices!!

Good choice of beers and welcoming.

Small friendly bar with just 3 hand pumps for real ale. Pies available too in daytime.

Quality little micro-pub located near to the town's rail station in the lower section of the town. Sister pub is in Congleton. Narrow but fairly deep interior, boarded floor and a good display of local artists art on the walls. Always three cask ales on. Recommended.

No disrespect but it's lost its sparkle

Great quirky place with great pies and beer.

One of the best places in macclesfield to get really good real ale always a varied selection on tap and changing every week Artisan pies and mash always available Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff

We went for just a drink a bit later on but it was still an excellent place to go. Not only was the beer awesome but the guy running the pub was so enthusiastic, helpful, and friendly, it was a pleasure to be served by him.

The bad: it's tiny (no, I mean, really tiny). But that's it... For the remainder: some of the best pies you will find anywhere and a seriously great selection of beers (they even have my beloved Flensburger on tap). They also put on tons of activities, from foreign language societies to music and everything in between. Lovely, little place!

Good atmosphere as quiz on. Marble Brewery Pint was excellent

The smallest of a chain of three. Very cosy but still a good range of beers

Great little bar with friendly staff, serves food which is a choice of pie with mashed potatoes, peas and gravy.

Small and cosy. Excellent choice of quality ales. Food is pie, mash, peas & gravy! Great place for conversation :)

Some unusual ales but too loud to talk on a weekend evening.
