Nags Head

You'll find yourself on Waters Green in the heart of Macclesfield, pushing open the doors of a place that feels genuinely lived-in. The Nags Head is the kind of pub where you'll see the same faces at the bar, where the landlord actually knows what you're drinking, and where the vibe is comfortable rather than trying too hard. The food's respectable—proper pub fare done without pretension—and the ale selection keeps the regulars satisfied. It's not flashy, but that's precisely why it works.
