Converted 16/6/2017 to nine apartments. Closed 16/11/2015. Planning Application DC/062802 | Conversion of existing building from pub/offices to residential to provide 9no. apartments over 3.5 stories. Granted 2/12/2016. History: Re-opened on 22/10/2014 as a bar and music venue called Live Stockport, later on becoming Bank Chambers Live. Large Grade II-listed former Victorian banking hall with the bar set at the back of a fairly open room. That bar was divided by one of the ornate red granite Corinthian columns that added character and history to the mainly open space. Walls were part-painted, and marble panelled elsewhere, the floor was bare-boarded. A stage for live entertainment (this was the pub's real point of difference) greeted you as you entered, this had large feature arched windows behind it. A mezzanine floor partly covered the opposite corner of the room, beneath this were sofas and low tables for relaxing in. A small room off the entrance afforded some peace from the hubbub of the music and the busy main room. From the time they re-opened they were offering ten cask ales from Greater Manchester and nearby micro breweries (mostly Outstanding who provide two house beers, Phoenix, and Moorhouse's), plus a real cider. That starting point proved to be somewhat over-ambitious, hence we usually saw three permanent beers plus a guest, and on Monday to Thursday the visitor may well have found a reduced range.
