user reviews of Lloyds No. 1, Manchester

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Ventured into this Spoons Lite and found the predictable surroundings comforting in a garish way. Fairly spacious with low key lighting, this has two levels, no real ales on the top floor i'm afraid.

Supped a xmas ale from Phoenix, which for the jaw dropping price of £1.60 was more than adequate. A pub that will be worth the (very) occasional detour, only during weekdays i should imagine!

One of the worst Wetherspoons in Manchester (there are several). Poor choice of guest ales, loud music, chavvy clientele. Not really worth it. Try the Waterhouse or Paramount if you can only afford Wetherspoon prices. At least they're decent pubs with decent people in them.

Best value cask ales in Manchester, Abbott, Pedigree and IPA all at £1.39.

Groovy place, but don't know why they bother with hand pulls, its awful stuff! Stick to the Lager!

On various visits have been
refused admission - lone mid-40s trouble maker in jeans maybe
unable to get a beer as they were all 'off' despite the pump clips being displayed
served rubbish

Avoid.

fantastic pub, found the food extremly good (especially when they told me it was serving till half one!!

Good for a crawl as the printworks have some top bars and clubs

Not the best place to go for a drink in the daytime/early evening as most of the seating is reserved for those ordering food.
