Highly recommend Zapato - beautiful location with such a lovely beer garden, great variety (especially the beer flights), friendly customer service and good street food too. Great spot for a fun night!

I like it, it's conveniently placed to go on a nice dog walk and have a drink, maybe some food. However, the lack of facilities to dispose of dog waste is bizarre. A lot of people take their dogs there, it must be a huge source of their revenue, so why not allow people to dispose of dog waste? Plenty of places to put a bin and it's massively inconvenient to not be able to. Nobody likes the smell of it! There are lots of places to put a bin well away from the seating. What a silly response.

Came across this place randomly on social media and decided to pay a visit as was in the area. Lovely little tap room, friendly knowledgeable staff, and a nice range of beers on tap. More interesting beers than the now commercial Magic Rock so we'll be back when next in the area for sure. They also have various food pop ups and open deck nights, nice to see some variation. YoYo the beer monkey also enjoyed it so it's five stars from us!

Called in for a coffee and wasn't disappointed. This place is a quirky place that is obviously known by local residents. It was lovely and busy but we're able to find seats next to the window to watch the world pass by. We'll call in again if in the area. It'll be lovely in warm weather when sitting outside is more comfortable.

Amazing bar/brewery. They have the best outdoor seating I've ever seen. They have events with food often. The beers are good, the service is nice but a little slow because the beers seem to be too heavily carbonated, so they spend a lot of time decanting to deal with the head. 🤣

The definition of a hidden gem! This brewery is far enough off the beaten track to deter ale-trailers and wronguns, resulting in a really chilled, family friendly vibe. Alongside their own beers, Zapato serves local independent alcohol, as well as Lancashire squash. The outside seating features tables (some covered) and a large field which leads to a stream, and on a sunny day it's truly idyllic. The indoor seating and bar area has been recently refurbished and is lovely and cosy. Almost every weekend, Zapato hosts a food truck, making it possible to enjoy anything from dumplings to Sri Lankan food via pizzas and Mexican - all a short walk along the canal.

A relatively new micro brewery located between Slaithwaite and Marsden, it has an appealing decor and play a selection of chilling background music to suit all tastes. Seating inside is comfortable with a number of picnic style seating outside and it's also pet friendly. Zapato have a varied selection of drinks to choose from, which I believe they produce the beers and ales themselves. Food is fantastic and there have a different style of street food on site every week! A great place to be and look forward to going there again!
