| Not been here for ages. Last time I went I was the only one there and felt like a spare part. The rum porter does however make this place "worth a visit". realalerules1983 - 8 Dec 2011 17:27 |
| This superb 'pub' is merely a stall in the busy market. It's an idea that other markets should adopt - it works very well. 5 handpumps (always a Boggart or two) and a good array of American and other bottled beers. Particularly impressive was the number of beers from small independent British brewers. They seem now to have a link up with the cheese stall next door, and you can get a pint and a platter of cheese for a fiver. arihall - 1 Dec 2011 08:49 |
| It's difficult to write much about this bar as it's so small it's almost insignificant. The bar itself is situated in the indoor market section of Manchester's Arndale Centre, yes, it's restricted to their opening times too, but that said, if you're passing it's usually worth a visit as they often have a decent locally sourced ale or two on tap. Unfortunately the seating area is very limited & restricted to half a dozen bar stools with a few additional seats on the window bar opposite, but this also serves the adjacent "take aways" so finding a seat at lunchtime is just pot luck. On the day of my visit I did manage to get a one and on offer were; Darkstar~Hophead, Boggart~Rum Porter & Blue Moon Rising, Worsthorne~Some like it blonde, not a bad selection considering the size of the place & all in good condition too. Contrary to an earlier report, I found the young lady serving very helpful, pleasant and happy to give out tasters, so no complaints here. Food - n/a Toilets - n/a - Available in the Arndale Centre Offsales - There is a small shelved area at the back of the bar which is stocked with a good selection of bottled beers, but as someone commented earlier, they are on the expensive side. Overall, it's nothing special, it's a basic watering hole & you pretty much get what it says on the tin, a micro bar! If you're passing, it's worth a visit as the beers are often good, but as for anything else...there isn't anything.

| Get real here, a stall in a crappy shopping complex. Dull range of bottled beers on offer at inflated prices, young girl behind the "bar" not at all helpful. Idea good, execution less so! nokegthanks - 24 May 2011 22:23 |
| Wonderful place. A true oasis on the edge of the arndale. Beer is good value and very good. The bottled selection for off sales is great too - Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout is keenly priced at 2.86 GBP (4.50 in the Sheffield Tap for instance). Boggart beers are well kept - a little warm for some tastes perhaps but that's carping. Nice well informed bar staff. This is 10/10. dry_riser_inlet - 20 Mar 2011 09:32 |
