I spent a night at the Stockport pub that's gone viral as the 'best on earth' - and have never felt so appreciated as a human

It might be 5pm on a week night, but the party is already in full swing at The Chestergate pub in Stockport. Regulars are dancing away to The Gambler by Kenny Rogers and there's already a pile of requests for songs piled up at the karaoke machine.

The pints are flowing - and it's no surprise when the price for a pint of Fosters here is £3 and John Smith's for £2.95. And, whether it's down to the pints or not, you can't fail to notice that there are smiling faces everywhere here.

This is the pub that went viral earlier this month thanks to its "Choose your Own Tuesday" video on Facebook, showing regulars "living their best life" on a typical Tuesday karaoke night at the traditional boozer right in the heart of Stockport town centre. Incredibly, over 2m have since seen the video - which led to people from across the world hailing it the "best pub on Earth".
