Traditional pub just north of Salford Central Station. As you enter the pub there is a room on the left, the main bar is to the right.
Six pumps, beers available as I arrived were Pride, Bombardier and Deuchars. I reluctantly ordered a pint of Deuchars. I'm not a great fan but It was okay, despite the ubiquitous head. I assume they were changing barrels because two more beers came on as I sat there - Allgates Caskablanca and Bazen's Flatbac. I tried a pint of the Flatbac, a light golden beer and not bad at all.
The bar has fixed seating running almost the entire length of the room. The leather upholstery was torn in several places. Varied selection of music playing in the background, at so low a volume as to be virtually pointless. The pub has a definite student vibe to it.
In summary, an okay pub that I might give another go in if I was walking past but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

Traditional pub with a good real ale selection and mixed crowd, just 2 minutes walk from Salford Central station, but it's the 'wrong way' in that it leads back into Salford instead of being on the short route into Manchester where most people go. It has an unspoilt interior with a tiled entrance corridor, a small room witha piano off to the left and the main bar room off to the right. The 5-6 beers are mostly from Lancashire/Cheshire microbreweries, and my Blakemere was in good form. Landlord also available, very nice. Manchester prices creeping outwards though- £2.80 is steep. It regularly hosts cultural events such as bands and is a keen promoter of such stuff. Mixture of young uns from the nearby yuppie flats and real ale fans. In short, it's well worth a visit combined with the New Oxford , Eagle and Crescent if in Salford- all of these pubs are worthy of a visit but are each very different.

Old pub located close to Salford Central station and only a short walk from Manchester centre. Six handpumps selling a varied mix of well kept ales. Friendly staff and regulars. Good value home made food available. Pub hosts live music, theatre and artists. Interesting Juke box not overpowering. A great boozer.

Fine pub on the Salford real ale trail. We've been coming in here every couple of months for years now whenever we're in Salford. Good range of real ales usually involving Bazens' and Phoenix, all well kept. Always a friendly atmosphere. Attracts a new breed of regulars from the posh flats around it now as well as the established crowd which makes for a good mix of people. Has a separate room behind the bar and another one upstairs that hosts live music. Also has a stained glass window with a picture of.... yes you've guessed it, a Kings Head rather than his arms! Don't miss it when doing the Crescent/New Oxford crawl.

Good old fashioned looking boozer with good choice of beers. An excellenet place to sit in the afternoon and listen to the very varied and good piped music.
