| Modern, warehouse conversion with spacious, dark wood interior but sterile atmosphere. JW Lees range of ales. I had a pint of Coronation Street, which was slightly lacking in the flavour department. There is outside seating overlooking the Rochdale Canal, which was busy with just-finished workers. Bouncers on the door when we passed later in the evening. holbornboy - 15 Jun 2009 12:27 |
| Agree with Rob, prices are good for MCR centre, If you can stomach JW Lee's beer! We visited on a Friday night after a gig, good atmosphere, mixed friendly crowd and nice canalside location. Not bad at all. lill1971 - 28 Apr 2009 11:23 |
| Had a pint of Hopping Mad the Lees seasonal which was £2.71 on Saturday. I still don't think that's bad when a pint of GK IPA is £2.75 in the Lass O Gowrie. ROBCamra - 30 Mar 2009 11:45 |
| JW Lees Bitter, John Willie’s, Brewers Dark, Moonraker (7.5%). JW’s £2.90pp! Dunno where RobCamra is drinking to say that is relatively cheap round here? Large pub with diverse areas & seating styles, woody snug to left of entrance, booths & tall tables around bar-area, small lounge beyond, plenty of picnic sets outside next to canal presumably make it a summer hotspot. Impressed by friendly staff. trainman - 4 Feb 2009 11:20 |
| Modern pub converted from an umbrella factory, hence the name, rather than the Manchester weather. Lee's pub selling Bitter, John Willies and at least one of the seasonals. Pricey for a Lee's pub but pretty cheap for Manchester city centre. Decent beer, good wine list, good range of food. It's a nice place to go with the other half. Packed in summer at lunchtimes and early evenings with the office crowd, but very pleasant early evening at the weekend. ROBCamra - 13 Jan 2009 14:31 |
