Good little pub, well worth a visit. Timothy Taylors, Landlord, Black sheep Best bitter & Copper Dragon Best bitter on handpulls. All were great. Its been a long time since ive been in manchester and I do like what they have done to this place. I bit of money has been spent here. Its nice now and your feet no longer stick to the floor. The staff were very polite with very quick service. Its a nice place to take your wife / or your bit on the side......
Good all round pub.

****Reopened August 2011.****
Now in the hands of Greek George, formerly of the renowned Circus Tavern. Anyone familiar with George and/or The Circus will know that life will not be uninteresting. Quiet so far, but word is spreading and many familiar faces have homed in. New menu at the planning stage - probably with a Greek influence . . .
So far, no scrotes. (One or two members of the eccentric community, but one wouldn't expect anything else where George is involved)
By the way, it's "Abercromby," not "Abercrombie."

Now closed!!

This pub is a disgrace. Ventured in for the first and last time a week ago. A dirty little hovel with a strange smell in the air. Only ale on was something from beartown brewery which was poorly kept and vastly overpriced. Less than enthusiastic service from the bar person. How do these pubs survive!

Went in sat 5th dec 3pm and was surprisingly quiet, good pint tho.
|
Stumbled across this pub recently after having to leave our chosen venue when it was invaded by a bunch of vile pondlife.
Nice pub, friendly staff and a couple of Copper Dragon ales on. Good outdoor area in the sun.
|
A good pub in the centre of the city, near to the Town Hall and right next door to Bootle Street Police Station!
|
Gosh what a contrast, can be inviting with its old charector, real ale and fantasic duke box......but can also be uninviting with its smelly bogs, indifferent staff and a tendency to have more beers off than on....
|
A nice pub, with a generally well behaved clientèle. Good range of beverages.
|
Not been in here for a couple of years but enjoyed long lunches and drinking the Cains, it was always spot on. Friendly landlord who was good at getting the Test Match on early doors.
|
good pub and good beer. beer garden is good in the summertime and it's not far to stagger to 42's.

I used to frequent this pub regularly, and although I have moved to pastures new....I miss my time in the Ralph. Top landlord/lady! It is true that the Heineken here is the best anywhere.

I was in this pub in December last year with 3 mates watching Bolton v Leeds, and we were the only ones in, but the service was excellent, and the landlady was very courteous! I'll be back there again soon!

If they actually turn upthe lights you willsee how dirty this pub is. Last week we went in the quiz and food is supposed to be available. It was not and the excuse the landlady was ill, but I heard the barstaff says she couls not be bothered du to a fight she had with the landlord so he handed out a bag of crisps each

This is a strong contender for my favourite pub! Friendly bar staff, a relaxed atmosphere and the best pint of Heineken I've ever had.
