Best O’Brass, in Bottom Mossley, served its last pint back in February 2023.
Although there were hopes locally it could be revived as a drinking establishment, its future is going to be as three flats.
The Manchester Road site already has a flat on the first floor, but this plan will transform the bar area on the ground floor into a residential space.
The cellar would also be turned into a one-bed studio flat, according to developer TMJ Contractors Ltd.
The other two flats will contain two bedrooms as well as separate kitchen and living areas.
The pub in the heart of Bottom Mossley was put out for auction in March 2023 and was later sold on.
Before that, the former owner put out an advert for a new landlord in November 2022 with an annual rent of £10,000.
The advert read: “The Best O’Brass is a friendly ‘locals’ community drinks only focused pub, which is well supported.
“Cask Ale, Quiz Nights, Open the Box and Bonus ball should also be used to drive footfall.
"Trade will come from locals looking for a friendly place to meet and have fun.”
The pub has been de-licensed, making the Commercial and Britannia Inn the last two traditional pubs standing on the main high street in Bottom Mossley.
