| Proper locals pub for those disillusioned by modern chain pubs, pleasant atmosphere and a reasonable pint, will add it to my list of pubs to visit on the Albert Rd run. Reverend - 23 Mar 2011 17:55 |
| Absolutely correct to say that this place is somewhat time-warped; 1970s at best. However, there are many aspects to an older-style boozer that bring to it much credit; a warm welcome, a "proper" landlady, a real local feel to it. Personally I found these traits to be rather refreshing, in a world of branding and management who create a comfortable but so often sterile environment according to a corporately-engineered template. The Duke resembles a community centre as much as it does traditional beerhouse, and that's fine by me. Granted, cask ale selection and quality - my usual talismans in passing judgment on pubs - were limited; I had a decidedly average Doom Bar experience on my quick whistle-stop visit in January. That said, its other charms would mean I wouldn't rule out popping in for a quick snifter if back in the area again. TWG - 14 Feb 2011 17:00 |
| Great pub if you want to go back to the 60s. Great jukebox and 3 decent ales. Lovely landlady. caskforce - 10 Feb 2011 17:41 |
| Good pub let down by the quality of the pint I had. Boddingtons Bitter was very average but I can forgive that as a Mancunian visiting for the weekend. anybody - 6 Feb 2011 10:38 |
| Good no-nonsense boozer . Good beer from Irving etc, but wish they wouldn't use swan necks and sparklers as it drives the hop flavour from the beer. baxterfish - 29 Jan 2011 19:31 |
