| Beautifully preserved interior but and this is a big but, I won't be rushing back at £3.40 for pint of Coach House Blueberry bitter. cfowler - 27 Mar 2008 22:58 |
| Mrs Sardines thought this place looked dodgy but we went in regardless and it is has been painstakingly and beautifully refurbished. Drinks were fine, service was fine but they paled into insignificance given the surroundings which were just lovely. grilledsardines - 17 Feb 2008 23:21 |
| My second visit since it has been refurbished. Classy establishment serving 4 real ales, tried the Theakstons Best Bitter, IPA,& Directors, all very well kept. Mmm, will be a regular visitor in future! AlRobis - 13 May 2007 13:52 |
| Popped in here on Saturday for the first time - liked it. Quite a big place with a few different rooms. Nice decor, interesting features and pretty efficient staff, though have to say it was the night of Englands heroic 0-0 draw with Israel, and not showing the game meant that the place was pretty quite. Worth a visit if you're passing atsoutar - 28 Mar 2007 17:02 |
| What was once Galvin's Bar has been re-jigged, the black signage is gone and a very nice building has been found underneath it. The new pub has a completely refitted interior (the bar is in the same position as before) real log fires (although I've only seen one of them going) and comfortable seats which smell of new leather. Thankfully there are four real ale pumps, which while I was there were serving Theakston's Best and XB, a beer that wasn't labelled, and the fourth was off. There's also a restaurant area upstairs with its own bar. So long as they go down the quality route with the likes of the Chop Houses and the nearby Knott Bar, this place shouldn't go far wrong. Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated, it's an enjoyable environment. My only gripes include the clean but deeply stinky toilets (on a par with the Rain Bar), blinding lights in the display cabinet of empty wine bottles and the loss of any seats overlooking Deansgate from the front windows because of the disabled access ramp. Surely that could have been better thought out? The final gripe is the biggy, though. Why on earth have they called it 'The Deansgate' as opposed to the 'Crown Inn', which is engraved in stone on the building above the door? Overall, a good pub with a lot of potential and a decent pint of Theakston's. roobarb_ - 19 Dec 2006 12:14 |
