The Crown Inn, Stockport. Under the viaduct - the largest brick structure in Europe.
Stockport is a bit of a catastrophe, tbh - it should be a major southern hub of Manchester, where people make pilgrimage to the Holy Source of the river Mersey. Too many planning mistakes have put it down in a hole, though, and it's now one of those places that's gone past 'rough' and arrived at ghost town with boarded up shops and nothing to do.
Almost nothing to do, because quite a few seriously high-quality alehouses have survived, making it a phe-nom-enal spot for bevvying. The Crown is one, real ale pub for years - they'll stick a few hop monsters on for the kids, but it's more for your serious drinker who wants to get stuck into some session ale in a traditional alehouse.
Two places up the road called The Magnet and The Hope which have both won CAMRA pub of the region. The Nursery, The Arden Arms, plus a scattering of modern beer shops. Very civilised for the ale.

The brewery tap in Chester. No music, no telly, all cask ales and the food is all locally sourced which makes it a pleasant change from what I call drinking factories that infest the city.

Red Lion - York City centre.
Slightly off the beaten track, proper bar, three open fires and a cracking well kept selection of ale.
In fairness this is one of many cracking pubs in York. The place is full of them.

Used to go out without girl from Stockport and I have very many happy memories of this pub.
Great write up mate.
The Falkland Arms - Great Tew Oxfordshire.
Cracking pub - 16th Century coaching house in the most picturesque of settings. Good selection of cask ales and single malts...They even serve snuff behind the bar!
