The Bar

Supporting our local breweries is something we like to do at South West – Moorhouse, Brightside, Bear Town and Robinsons are just a few of the breweries we’ve featured with regular ‘Guest’ appearances from firm favourite Wainwrights! If there’s a tipple you fancy, let us know and we may just get it on for you.
There is always a guest ale on at the club as well as our session ales Wainwrights and MPA
Beer Festivals
South West is now an important player on the real ale circuit in Chorlton. In fact, we’ve already had successful beer festivals at the club with more planned!! Keep your eyes on the ‘News’ section of the website for more details.
In 2010 South West was awarded the prestigious “Certificate of Excellence” from Cask Marque. This is a voluntary accreditation scheme that allows publicans to display a special symbol indicating that their cask ale is of excellent quality, as judged by a series of surprise inspections.
Opening Hours
The Bar is open from Noon until Eleven o’clock from Sunday to Thursday and until Midnight on Friday and Saturday. On Christmas Day the Club is open from Noon until 3.00pm.
It is the Club’s policy to keep prices as low as possible. Only drinks purchased at the Bar may be drunk on the Club’s premises (both inside and outside). This includes bottled water
