| Unchanging - a good thing. Would have been good to round off a Manchester visit with some Old Tom.. meurglys_iv - 13 Dec 2009 11:53 |
| A fairly small pub about two minutes walk from the Crown & Kettle. Main bar at the front, with a smaller room with a piano behind. The clientele were mainly young on my visit and the pub has a slightly 'alternative' atmosphere. The music was good - obscure sixties stuff. The pub was packed but I eventually managed to get a seat. Six pumps serving Robinson's Unicorn, Hatters, Old Stockport, Dizzy Blonde and Old Tom and Hartley's Cumbria Way. I had a pint of the Cumbria Way and was not impressed. I also had a half of Old Tom which had the diacytol taste and the Dizzy Blonde, which wasn't too bad. I'll give the pub another go sometime. holbornboy - 20 Sep 2009 18:01 |
| Called in one Saturday afternoon, the barman was friendly and we tried a non-Robinsons real ale as these taste bland to us. We didn't greatly enjoy what we did have, the place felt quiet despite its location on busy Oldham Street, but looked populated by a few loyal regulars. The front room felt rather drab, and with the uninspiring beer priced at a daft £3 a pint, we headed off for one of the other excellent Northern Quarter boozers. Roy22 - 17 Aug 2009 19:31 |
| Popped in for first time today to see effect of overhaul, pleasantly surprised to find it still a basic, multi-room, Victorian pub. As ToxtethOGrady says, the prices are a bit steep, especially compared to Robbies' Stockport pubs, but they do have their full range, including Old Tom, on draught. That and the Unicorn Bitter both well kept. m_j_t - 1 Aug 2009 17:37 |
| Popped in recently while I was in Manchester. Good to see that the pub still seems to be the same old wonderful drinking establishment. No visible changes other than the back bar remains closed while a new floor (or was it roof ?) is being fitted. The ale I tried (Unicorn and Old Tom) were both in excellent condition. My only gripe was that there was an incredibly loud and foul mouthed individual stood at the bar shouting (and I mean shouting) with another customer not 20 feet away discussing the merits of Manchester City over Manchester United. I cannot understand why bar staff permit such behaviour. It simply drives away custom as it did me. Grailhunter - 2 Jul 2009 16:12 |
