I was charged £8 for a pint of Guiness and a pint of Lime and Soda. The Guiness cost £5.

Loved the place. Proper old school pub. Bar food at lunchtime 12pm till 2pm. Great staff.
Eddie Hilton
Good old fashioned pub with excellent beer and a seriously grumpy landlord
Eric Hornby
Never saw so many heads turn to look at us upon entering the door. Nice for the yocals, I suppose.

Very friendly, reasonably priced food and spotless toilets. Perfect place to have l7nch pass time while waiting for a train.
Really good traditional pub .. some good ales and a Belgian Kreik and a Framboise on keg. Well run place - no idiots allowed

The landlady was an absolute nasty rude person. Little wonder the bar was empty. Very dirty floors and walls. Outdated furniture. I dared to ask this frosty publican what the ABV was on a beer I was considering and instead of getting an answer she rudely walked away and muttered "if you don't like it go somewhere else". I decided not to lower myself to Her obvious abysmal standards and proceeded to order four beers. The beer itself was flat and tasted a tangy off flavour.. the glass was dirty and I noticed when this person handled the glasses She had her fingers on the inside of the glass ! Hygienic I think not. After giving Me a really unfriendly look I had to ask the landlady for a receipt ..which she was obviously at pains to do. (Strangely She wrote the receipte on a paper rather than a receipt from the till.) To my astonishment on returning from the men's toilet which again were filthy dirty my friends stated She went up to them and proceeded to bad mouth Me. Laughable she did not find it appropriate to actually vent Her vile anger to me personally. So bad was this landlady's behaviour I felt it necessary to contact Camra as well as the local newspaper. Avoid the pub Waters green tavern at all costs. Disgraceful behaviour..disgusting beer and a very dirty dated Bar.

A lovely pub with a good selection of hand pumps ales, wines, quality spirits, the owner has been spending money on the bar area (see pic) and re upholstering the seating, theres a real open fire and a reasonable amount of people coming and going, young and old, the toilets have been renovated a few years ago and still look good and they are clean (unlike many other pubs) there a pool table and darts board, it is a rarity for Macclesfield which seems to be losing pubs and gaining bars with shouty people and eye watering prices, yet the Tavern is reasonably priced.

Great destination for real ale lovers. Opposite the train station. Has proper boozer vibe. First stop on day out in Macclesfield. New brewery for me, Town House brewery from Stoke. Lovely pint of Olicana. In 2021 and 2022 Good Beer Guide. Good start to the day.
Proper pub.
