A busy Saturday but plenty of seats outside - even in October ! The Verdant IPA was particularly good tonight !

Small real ale pub with good selection of cask and keg ales and ciders. Friendly staff, and a pleasant atmosphere
Top range of beers on tap and of excellent quality too ! Reasonable prices too. Nice wooden decor with outside, pavement seating (though partitioned off). Well-recommended.
Brilliant choice of beers. Very knowledgable staff. Good vibe. My first visit but I will be back. By the way, this place us in Monton, about 2 miles from Eccles.
Cool place. Loved the upstairs section with games and chilled vibes. Nice decor, great music, friendly people and good range of beer. It was really rammed on a Saturday night and would’ve liked a bit more ventilation but really loved it and will return.
... so very busy as the quintet did take over around a quarter of the bar so sitting outside was the only option. Luckily, it was a lovely evening.
Having frequented every bar in Monton I have to say that this is not only my favourite but in my opinion the best. Since Dan the new owner has taken over he has spent a lot of time making the refurbishment a lovely place to...be. The selection of beers is fantastic and Dan is always introducing new ones to keep any beer fan interested.More
Great beer, great tunes, great service. Really like what they’ve done with the place. Exceptionally friendly owner. Will be back for sure!
Just for clarity my son (Dan)has taken over Malt Dog from The original owner. He has taken time during lockdown to refurbish the whole place giving it a contemporary retro but importantly relaxing atmosphere. Well behaved Dogs are more than welcome As soon as covid...restrictions are lifted its his intention to start the live music events again along with many other activities including Whisky, Gin, Wine and of course Craft beer tastings. The bar is frequented by really friendly local people Dan has a wealth of knowledge in the hospitality business running the officers mess whilst in the army managing craft beer pubs in Australia for several years to being a cocktail mixologist in alchemist He definitely knows how to look after beers and will be sourcing new breweries to guest different beers in the future. Of course I’m biased but we wish him all the best and please go along and have a drink and a chatMore
My partner and I love this place! He’s a serious beer drinker and enjoys the wide selection on offer. We’ve been a few times now, travelling to Monton from the other side of Manchester because the atmosphere is great. It’s such a friendly spot and...we always have a good laugh with the staff and customers. Looking forward forward to our next night out in Maltdog and would highly recommend. Cheers guys.More
We called in here before and after a meal out in Monton... Malt Dog is a great bar located on Monton's main High Street... The bar looks small from the outside but has an upstairs area as well... plenty of seats downstairs and upstairs -...upstairs even has a couple of settees... Staff are friendly & welcoming... decor interesting and wood themed, with even a mural of the band 'The Smiths' upstairs... children & dogs are welcomed... There is a great drinks range with beers/largers/etc from around the world, plus three handpumps for cask ales... We enjoyed sitting in the window watching the world go by before going for a meal, then sitting upstairs on the comfy settees when we returned... well worth a visit!More
Excellent range of beers for outside Manchester. Got served once the barman had finished telling his story. The beers we had were good but the markup on half pints was very wrong, and there is no economic reason for this). We like to taste several...beers but the minimum mark up tonight was 20p (annoying but acceptable) to 70p (ridiculous).More
Malt dog is a decent addition to the monton high street. There is some smashing beers on sale here at good prices. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the only down point is the cliquey atmosphere but I’m being picky. Nice terrace out front even...if you do have to observe the balloons drinking over the road at The Park. RecommendedMore
Will not be visiting this place again. Staff threatened to chuck us out for being slightly loud just after buying 6 full drinks. Aren’t bars supposed to be loud? Rather than respectfully asking us to quiet down which we would off. They were rude and...made us feel disgracefully un welcome. Do not visit if you plan on chatting between friends as it seems silence is all that is allowe.More
Quite a good atmosphere but drinks are expensive. A lime and soda cost 2 pounds .That is a massive markup. Owner/ manager of the bar wasn't very friendly unless she already knew you and then you'd be ingratiated with her sitting in your company. Would...like to go back but reluctant to now as the owners demeanor has slightly put me off.More
