About us
A small, independent bar in the middle of Culcheth that cares about what's in the glass, and about the village around it.
Since 2021
Proper craft beer, a warm welcome, and something new every time you visit.
Taphouse opened on Lodge Drive in October 2021, bringing proper craft beer to the middle of Culcheth. Under its current owners it has become a regular spot for locals who want something a bit different from the usual.
The kegs rotate constantly, with beers from independent breweries near and far and plenty of different styles. In autumn 2025 we added cask ale too, with up to two changing beers on handpull.
When the weather allows, our covered outside seating looks across to the park, with heaters for the colder evenings. It's a relaxed, friendly place to sit with a good pint, whether you know your hazy IPAs from your milds or you're just curious.
Four-legged friends
Taphouse is a proper dog-friendly bar. Well-behaved dogs are welcome inside and out, there's fresh water on hand, and a jar of dog treats lives on the bar for good boys and girls.
Some of our most loyal regulars have four legs. Here are a few of the faces we see most.
Snap a photo of your four-legged friend at Taphouse and tag @taphouse_culcheth on Instagram, or send it to us in a message, for a chance to be featured here and on our page.
In the community
Taphouse is a proper local, so we like to give something back. From sponsoring a junior rugby team to raffles for local causes, here's what we've been up to.
Sponsorship
We're proud to sponsor the Culcheth Eagles under 7s. In December 2025 the team popped in for the big reveal of their brand new kits, with the Taphouse name on the front, and a well-earned Fruit Shoot. Future legends, every one of them.
Good luck for the season, lads.
For the Culcheth Eagles under 7s
At £1 a strip, our hamper raffle raised funds to send the team on their first ever rugby tour, the Leeds Rhinos Challenge in Skegness. Up for grabs: craft beers, Prosecco, cider, a Taphouse hoodie, a Taphouse glass and a stack of snacks.
For Willowbrook Hospice
We raffled off a Vocation Brewery advent calendar and raised £200 for Willowbrook Hospice. Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket.
Merch & gifts
We usually have stock behind the bar, so you can pick something up when you visit. You can also pre-order through Instagram and collect from the bar.
In the bar
Hoodies, t-shirts and caps featuring our hand-drawn mural design, in a range of colours.
From £15
Pick your cans and we'll box them up with a Taphouse glass. A great gift for any beer lover, and we can customise them for birthdays and Christmas.
Seasonal
Last year's Father's Day boxes were £15 and came with two cans of choice, a Taphouse glass and three bar snacks. Keep an eye on Instagram for this year's.
£10 & £20
Not sure what to get them? Taphouse gift vouchers come in £10 and £20, ready to spend at the bar.
Send us a message on Instagram with what you're after and we'll have it ready to collect from the bar.
Taphouse on Tour
From the top of Snowdon to the bars of Belfast, York and Lanzarote, Taphouse hoodies and tees have been spotted all over. Here are a few of our favourite sightings.
Spotted somewhere in your Taphouse merch? Tag @taphouse_culcheth on Instagram and you could end up on the wall.
