| Small trendy bar in the Castlefield area of town, practically opposite the Museum of Science and Industry and in the long shadow of the Hilton Tower. It's one big, unremarkable room with two slightly separate styles, the front area where the bar is has traditional furnishings, whilst the rear has sofas and other 'comfortable' furnshings, albeit ones that are becoming slightly careworn. Slightly bohemian feel, but nothing compared to, say, the Odd bar. Usually quiet on my weekday visits, there is an emphasis on Continental beers with a wide selection from Belgium and Germany etc, plus two handpumps which have always been dispensing microbrewery ales. Only one in operation last night- Pictish Alchemist Ale, which was excellent. Usually a local CAMRA rag plus newspapers to peruse so I quite enjoy coming here whilst waiting for a train from the nearby Deansgate station. Not usually my cup of tea as it's hardly a traditional pub environment, but the beer is always spot on and it's relaxing. If you've only time for one pint in this area you'll probably want to get to the Knott or the Briton's Protection but for a change this place is certainly worth a visit .

| Cask Bar is one of my favourite bars in Manchester, and I was gutted to read the review from March that this place had closed. Me and several drinking colleagues slipped in for a sly one on a Saturday evening - I was expecting it to be heaving, but it was in fact pleasantly busy, and we scored one of the view tables available. My heretic lager drinking associates informed me that the Cruzcampo was on top form. I was enjoying the Abbeydale Brimstone, a beer I am very familiar with, and I can happily say that it was tip top, and I was distraught when it ran out, only to be replaced by Abbeydale Absolution. Great bar - also, there is a chippy next door - it might not look amazing but the food is decent and you can eat it inside the pub. 10/10. Sharp - 21 Oct 2009 13:50 |
| Went in last Friday after work and at the start of a bit of a session. Great pub. Never too crowded, good atmosphere, the outdoor area is great and the jukebox is excellent. Drinking Cruz Campo makes me feel like I'm holiday too, one of my favourite Manchester city centre bars. whatsoever - 2 Jul 2009 10:04 |
