| I have nothing positive to say about this place as I never got in. My wife, young son and I were in Manchester for the Christmas markets today when the heavens opened so we made a dash for this pub. The bar was very crowded and there was no way we were all going to get in with a pushchair so we decided to shelter from the hailstones and rain for a few minutes under the large umbrellas outside. Within a few seconds of finding a spot alongside many others, a jobsworth 'bouncer' (this was around 1pm) told us we'd have to move as no kids were allowed in. We were outside, not taking up much room, and it was pouring with rain but he refused to listen to common sense and made us leave. So much for Christmas spirit. My son, who is 18 months old, spent the afternoon shivering and soaking wet thanks to the 'policy' that this pub have adopted. I'll be advising everyone I know not to go there.

| I was in the middle of drinking a decent pint in a wonderful building when the landlord came in and rudely asked a room full of people to leave - "What are you doing in here? You need to leave". Apparently the upstairs room we were in had closed for the night, even though the downstairs room was full and standing! But there was nothing to tell us this or stop us going upstairs. A large number of very offended and unhappy people ended up taking their business elsewhere... jarofporter - 11 Oct 2011 14:40 |
| Fantastic pub - oldest building in Manc, moved twice, bombed by the IRA and still standing. Great location and when the sun is out (!), a great place to sit and watch the world go by. Came today for the first time in 10 years and was disappointed to be served an OK pint of Lancaster Bomber in a plastic glass! Staggering, really - no warning, no alternative offered - I may not necessarily been going outside either. Mappiman - 22 Jun 2011 21:48 |
| Very busy pub with only person behind the bar on a Sunday evening. I waited and waited and left disappointed. AlieStreetcrusader - 6 Mar 2011 18:59 |
| I liked this place and its neighbour the Oyster bar. Any pub that has been saved by moving it brick for brick appeals to me for starters and these pubs have been moved twice in their history, the first time in the 70’s to be actually inside the old Arndale shopping centre, were then moved again in 1998 to their present location when the Millennium area of the City centre was redeveloped. Now part of the Nicholsons group and the beer quality and quantity has now improved from the M&B days. The downstairs bar now supports 8 hand pumps and seven were going at the time of our visit. These included Twaites Nutty Black, Acorn Barnsley Bitter, Jennings Cumberland and Lancaster Red all of which were good. The two upstairs rooms are reserved for dining, so a disadvantage is that only the small downstairs bar is for drinking only and there is very limited seating and standing room in here. But it does benefit from the large outside benched drinking area, which wasn’t that much in use as it was freezing outside, and another disadvantage is that you have to drink out of plastic if you are going outside.
