| Solid local on corner of busy road just off Oldham Road - bit dark round back but the Ales are always well kept and the choice is pretty good - normally 5 or 6 - well worth a visit. kernott1 - 5 Mar 2010 12:55 |
| Fascinating interior with good, well-kept ales. Often seems a bit empty when I visit, unfortunately. pub_patron - 25 Feb 2010 19:20 |
| This long-closed pub on an arterial route on the edge of the city centre reopened as a real ale pub a few years ago and has been going from strength to strength since. 3 rooms, bar, snug, and vault are served by a central bar. Although the layout and decor are traditional (fine dark wooden panelling around the bar and walls) the place has a clean, airy feel. The most striking point as mentioned is the ornate plasterwork ceiling, most of which was badly damaged by fire in the 1980s. The celiing in the main bar remains so, as a curious historical piece. In the vault the ceiling has been restored to its full glory. Nets hang beneath it to prevent falling masonry! The pub has a strong record of selling ales from local microbrewries and also has a good range of European beers. On my visit Greenfield Autumn Ale (The house brew), Dunham Masey Milk Stout and an Allgates beer were available. The Greenfield was excellent. This a pub that is strong on all fronts and as such is one of Manchester's best, you should try to get here if possible. Carlurmston - 25 Feb 2010 13:01 |
| Bowled in here on a Tuesday afternoon. Predictably quiet, I plumped for the seat next to the radiator and didn't vacate my perch for about 2 hours. I sampled the Darkstar Hop Head, which was excellent, as well as a tasty mild from the Empire brewery. There was a very reasonably priced food menu, traditional pub food and from what I saw, it looked like pretty decent tucker. Food served 12-4 IIRC. Friendly woman behind the bar, this pub will be a true treasure once the restoration is complete (if it is ever complete). Sharp - 14 Feb 2010 13:58 |
| OK firstly the beer, in excellent condition, decent range, very good. Now the pub; well it's historic and was actually closed down for 16 years apparently, now seems to having a restoration, the ceiling is something to behold, 3 rooms as far as I could gather. 2 of them are with afore-mentioned history but the snug, good heavens, some previous owner in the past was totally clueless when it comes to pub architecture, it's worth seeing just for its awfulness, an MFI book case painted brown next to fake brickwork over an equally fake fireplace!
