    06/06/23: I've seen some changes in Altrincham since first moving here in 1996, then moving away again in 2007. Costello's was one of the changes in Goose Green, and tonight, having not been in for a while seen change again in the layout, size and direction it's gone.

    Always love this place. Excellent friendly staff. Local Dunham Brewery beers and great prices with Goose Green to look out in. Great chillax venue on a Saturday afternoon

    My current favourite bar in altrincham. Good friendly atmosphere with a good outdoor seating area ideal for meeting up with friends.

    Great place, only ever visit in late afternoons but nice atmosphere, friendly staff and fellow customers.

    Shame it's so dark inside and that although this is a CAMRA award winning bar, they don't offer discounts for CAMRA members. The beer is good, as you'd expect and it's a good place to while away a few hours.

    Visited after a trip to the cinema, not been before. The outside tables were full, the inside was fairly quiet. Bar staff personable and friendly. Clean throughout. The lighting was subdued - fitting for the time of evening/night (10.50pm). Was able to chat easily. Felt relaxed and comfortable. Would definitely go again.

    Pretty average , recently done up and extended but not a great choice of tap ale , fine for a quick drink ,

    Good beer, nice atmosphere to meet friends, especially on a mid week night!

  • 5/5 Andy from M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent selection of beers and the people in there were very friendly such that I ended up chatting with two of them.

  • 1/5 Ian B. 11 months ago on Google
    Well presented bar with the usual decent range of beers you would expect from the Costello chain BUT..... for a Wednesday evening it was v quiet with only few customers and the barman and his mate who spent the entire evening swearing openly in front of the few customers who were in there whilst discussing their varied recipes for (I assume by looking at them) those living the single life. Personally I'm not offended by the language but really is that customer service at it's finest? I will stick to the Stockton Heath branch in future.

    This place is one of the best i know for real ales. Chilled out vibe with decent tunes on all the time (Low volume). All 7 handpumps are Dunham Massey Brewery ale which is top quality stuff. Really good Cask ale/ Real Ale. Also 4 other pumps with various lager beers. Real ciders in the back too so if you drink that then ask for it. My recomendation is the Dunham Dark. Its a multi award winning dark mild. Whatever your reservations are on dark mild, try it :)

    I really like the changes they have made in the refurb. More beer choices too.

  • 5/5 Simon C. 2 years ago on Google
    Recommended to visit here by a local who knows his stuff!! Great selection of beers, very friendly service, and a fantastic location near the station

  • 5/5 Ray M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for real ale, young girl was not customer friendly, seemed occupied by other things !!

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    The barmaid Joanna could not have been any more friendly and cooperative to Costellos. A wonderful person with attention to detail and amazing customer service. A credit to your establishment

  • 3/5 Thomas F. 2 years ago on Google
    Good selection of beers. No music or TV (a plus for me). Reasonably priced. Stars lost because of the poor state of the gent's toilet and the whole place smelled of dirty mop.

  • 5/5 Jeff I. 1 year ago on Google
    The best pub in Altrincham for real ales. Good range of Dunham Massey brewery beers. Friendly staff. Not food orientated, just good beer, music and conversation. A hidden gem.

  • 4/5 Andrew K. 2 years ago on Google
    Unassuming exterior gives way to comfortable bar with an excellent array of real ales from the Dunham Massey Brewery sold at good prices. Great atmosphere on a Friday afternoon, and a warm welcome from the staff.

  • 5/5 Ali J. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent choice of ales in this friendly local bar. Nice atmosphere, seats inside and out - with heating. Friendly staff. Good prices. Will Definitely return If in the area

  • 4/5 Nik K. 5 years ago on Google
    The ales are average but it's cheap and they do third pint measures so you can taste a few. Friendly service

  • 5/5 Bradley N. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite bar in Altrincham, great prices and friendly staff.

  • 2/5 Ian C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good location, lovely beers, but the staff made me feel like I was inconveniencing them by being there - weird

  • 4/5 Brett W. 2 years ago on Google
    Not much character but always friendly and a nice pint.

  • 5/5 Ronnie A. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent pub with superb beers from Dunham Massey. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Mary H. 2 years ago on Google
    It was nice to sit and relax and unwind, to watch the world pass through Goose Green despite the cold wind. I chose to sit outside as I've noticed since Covid I prefer to sit out than on. Costello's have a covered outside area so I was sheltered from the wind a drizzling rain. The wine was good too. A nice hour was spent chilling and I'm not talking about the weather.😄

  • 5/5 Conor P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely one of the best bars in Altrincham, always fantastic customer service and a great array of pints available. Fantastic seating options inside and out with a great smoking area sin Goose Green, tucked away from the other late-night bars on the other side. Definitely recommend Costello's for a pint whatever the occasion.
