| Bowled into this cosy bar after a few pints at the nearby Crown and Kettle. I don't think I'll bother leaving the former next time I'm in Mancheser. Tacky interior which a collection of random articles on the wall - seating was very limited, and to be frank, by Banktop Bad To The Bone was very disappointing. I browsed the Belgian beers, and nothing really jumped out at me, so I switched onto the Thatchers Katy, an unusual sight in the North of England. Wouldn't rush back. Sharp - 14 Feb 2010 14:01 |
| Had a 'locals' pub kind of feel to it, slightly alternative which was a good thing. Beer was pretty good as well. Abteilung - 29 Jan 2010 20:00 |
| Good range of ale but I was a little disappointed with the Belgian beer selection - indifferent to the fruit beer selection on draft and not much in the fridge - unless I'm missing something? Booze_Allen - 27 Jan 2010 22:44 |
| Five beers on here and as we were on our way to the Winter Ales Fest, we chose Nelson and Boggart beers from the 4 new ones to us. The beers were fine, and I do like this pub, but it seemed acceptable for a small child to run up and down the pub and behind the bar screaming. Not what I need in a pub really. Sorry. It will always be on my list of pubs to visit for the excellent beers though. gillhalfpint - 20 Jan 2010 19:58 |
| Slightly bohemian bar on a run down thoroughfare on the edge of the city centre, and within spitting distance of the Smithfield and the Crown & Kettle. One narrow room is dimly lit and has the usual items adorning the walls, from saucy postcards to road signs etc. A high-ceilinged part at the front has an interesting collection of bottles and vehicles if you look above. Not many seats and apart from the walls decor quite spartan. The pub's real strong point is the beer, with a vast array of Continental beers complemented by 5 handpumps serving microbrewery ales. Kelham Island, Allgates and Salopian often feature alongside the more local Phoenix and Bazen's. Had a Salopian Oracle which was brilliant on a previous visit, this time Allgates went down well. Nothing of great note for the pub architecture fan here, but I recommend anyone to visit as part of the Northern Quarter ale trail. Carlurmston - 30 Dec 2009 14:17 |
