Vine — Restaurant in Trafford

The barstaff charge what they like £3.80 for a pint, also the barmaid pours the slop tray into a pint glass and tops it up from the pump .the seating is damp and stinks of urine ,the management hardly ever there and open when they feel able ,there is the local professional drinkers who claim seating around the bar so nobody can get to the bar ,the beer is mostly gone off and when it's on its cloudy wherein have had to contact the brewery but this pub is not a Robinson's alehouse ,no idea who's it is ,,the barman thinks that you tipped him and deducts it from your bill ,they have stopped doing food and allow some customers to bring in takeaways from local ,the tables are sticky there's fly's sharing your drink and most of the usual heads smoke and congregate at the ladies toilets and it drifts into the pub and stinks like a sewer also the music taste is saddo whiney rubbish they have a DJ sometimes and I think it maybe karaoke and cheese flip flops ,overall it's a sad sorry state they should demolish it and then the local residents would be able to park cars outside there properties instead of the drinkers,(edit ,,zero stars...

The Vine is literally around the corner from me and yet I’ve never been before.

Today with the lovely weather, and the wife being out, I thought I’d venture in. What a great pub!

It’s got the decor of a traditional pub, along with darts, sports tv’s and a pool table and it looks like it’s looked after.

The gents were remarkably clean, though there was some tack on the wall where I guess a sign was. The urge to go back with a scraper to remove it is huge!

They have a beer garden that also has a sports tv is pleasant enough. Clean, tidy and a little wonky as it’s on a slope.

The pub was quiet so they only had one bar person on, who remembered my drink each time I came to the bar and was very pleasant.

The other patrons were a mix of ethnicities and sexes so it’s not just a blokes sports bar.

Overall, a lovely experience… 4 pints down I went home with a smile on my face.

I will definitely be back to...

Not been in here for about 30 years, and the layout has hardly changed. I must say the landlord was very welcoming and the wine was a damn sight cheaper than the majority of pubs in Sale. Good place for early doors drinking, and there were a few stalwarts happily whiling away the twilight hours supping their chosen beverages. No complaints here, and Eric, the resident toddler, grabbed my wife's little finger and tried to evict her to the garden. We will return. Back in again tonight, early doors. Great atmosphere, shared a table with a bunch of lads having a great time. Well decent prices and a very efficient landlord. Again, this is what a proper pub...
