Historic Stockport pub to reopen for the first time in four years with new revamp

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A popular pub in Stockport could be set to reopen for the first time in four years following a 'complete remodel and refurbishment'.

The Pineapple Inn, on Heaton Lane, has been closed since 2020 after shutting down during the pandemic. Originally a family-run pub, the venue had previously been described by locals as ‘kitsch’ with a ‘friendly fab atmosphere’ and a wide selection of ales and beers.

Situated behind the Runaway Brewery, who will be hosting their first ever beer festival in May and June, owners Robinsons Brewery & Pubs have now submitted planning permission documents with Stockport Council to transform the venue and bring it back to life.

The brewery posted: "Great to see [Robinson's] are looking to renovate and re-open The Pineapple! It's been closed since 2020 - will be so good to have active neighbours with beer at their heart." The planning documents suggest that the pub building, which overlooks the Stockport Viaduct arches, would be in need of a full re-fit, with a new shop front, alongside new windows, gates, and decoration all proposed.
