| Paid a swift visit to this JW Lees house yesterday afternoon. 5 of their beers were on - Bitter, The Governor, Brewer's Dark, John Willie's & Hopmeister. Seemed to be more popular with a younger crowd than some of the other nearby pubs. The interior is quite spacious and there is also a large terrace overlooking the canal at the rear. Ok, but there are better options in the vicinity. blue_scrumpy - 25 Sep 2011 15:52 |
| Lees is (on the whole) a filthy pint of beer, but here they do their best with it (which is basically just putting glitter on a turd). However, it's a great pub on a sunny day, because it's one of the very few pubs in Manchester with much outside seating down by the Rochdale canal, and the food is pretty good, but the rest of the time it's just a possible stopping off point between The Salisbury and the Briton's Protection.

| I always stay near to this pub when in Manchester as this is a gem of a pub. Just love JW Lees beer and the choice of all the ales are always so well kept. Love the staff, really friendly, the tables are clean and are cleared quickly. The food is really to die for and I do not say that often. The downside is that this lovely pub closes early in the evening on a weekday which is sad as they could have so much business from the local hotels if they advertised in them.

| I loved the architecture of this building and had a cracking pint of lee's for reasonable money. One to add to my list when visiting Manchester for a few beers, a shame I've only found it now summer has gone as the outside seating area overlooking the canal looks very pleasent indeed. boltonbloke - 13 Oct 2009 20:03 |
| 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 |
