The Sandbar: My new favourite pub. Delicious beer, delicious staff and decent prices (considering the location). I'd recommend everyone to try the mighty 'AllSaints' brewed locally by the ever consistent Phoenix brewery, it'll give you a shiver. It can get very busy especially as the night closes in but if you can find somewhere to stand, slurping here is a most pleasant experience.

It's just a shame that they serve food as it spoils it's rating but at least it doesn't effect the beer.

great to hear this place is still as alive and kicking and cool as it was back in my old manc days. i was there the day this placed opened in the mid nineties and was in the every week for about 4 years. it always was my favourite place whether chilling in the day or buzzing at night. not been for many years - but will cetainly make it my first stop next time i'm there.

Err yes we have got all the correct beer glasses! We've had them for quite a few months now. They are hanging upside down above the draft pumps on two newly installed glass racks, I am surprised you missed them.

As you will see some of these glasses are gorgeous and last time we tried this they all disappeared very quickly. So I hope you understand if we are a tad overprotective!

We have copied an idea we saw in a bar in belgium. We require a deposit of one shoe, yes a shoe as a deposit for any customer who wants the correct glass with their beer. This will be exchanged for a very comfortable clog (for safety). An optional £5 refundable deposit will be accepted instead if you do not wish to play our game but we would rather not take the money, it is not as much fun!

We are sorry but the glasses will not be available after 5pm on busy nights

We also have a number of games which are available free using this same system.

SHOES AND DEPOSITS ARE STILL REFUNDABLE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY BREAK THE GLASS

Still worth a visit this place, still no "proper" glasses for the foreign beers.
The real ale was in good nick on last visit, both from Phoenix.

Interesting little bar with several quirky rooms, one feels like an outdoor courtyard, even though you're inside. Has a couple of guest beers on, one is usually from Phoenix, always well kept. It's a bit of a walk out of town, but it's worth it.
