| I agree with Mr Boswell, great pub, but HORRENDOUSLY overpriced. Mind you, someone's gotta pay for the landlord's regular monthly jaunts to the far flung corners of the earth........ radiojoe - 13 Mar 2010 23:03 |
| Poor old Keith and his whiskey master Dave. The staff would have you believe that it is Marston's who demand so much money per pint not the landlord, but I don't think I believe this excuse any more. It used to be a great pub; full of wonderful beer served by wonderful staff surrounded by wonderful locals. Elano Blumer, Vincent Kompany and Martin Petrov have all worked there at some point whilst training at Eastlands but unfortunately, what used to be my local and second home has become so overly expensive that neither me nor my cronies can no longer afford to drink there. It is unfortunate that if you earn under £42,000 per annum you can't afford to drink here but I wish it all the best; especially with it's new wealthy 'toff' regulars. Keith, I am disappointed I can no longer wind you up about your beer, good luck Dave. macboswell - 8 Mar 2010 15:21 |
| City-centre pub that is the nearest to Piccadilly (excluding the dreary station bars). On the corner of two busy thoroughfares and roughly wedge-shaped, It has the old Burtonwood signage and leaded windows signifying 'Smoke room', 'bar room' etc- a nice touch, however they are relevant no longer as the pub is opened up- one room , with a few raised areas but nothing more. The range of real ales has been steadily increasing, 4-5 pumps now dispense a range from the Jennings/Marstons/Banks' stable. Pumpclips above the bar imply that an occasional microbrewery guest is available but that wasn't the case on my visit. Cocker Hoop was pretty good on my visit. As noted, the clientele is transient which can detract from the atmosphere, and the pub never really seems busy. Would agree with most comments- I don't mind this place, It's a decent bet for a pint as its infinitely superior to the bars in the station and the real ale is more than passable. However for atmosphere, you may wish to head for the Jolly Angler in the opposite direction. Not really a Manchester must. Carlurmston - 3 Feb 2010 12:58 |
| Traditional green tiling on the outside, dark wood interior, good staff and a minimum of four handpulls from the Marstons/Jennings range on the inside - there's very little to dislike about this pub. Prices aren't too outrageous (about £2.80/pint) and the transient nature of many of the drinkers is understandable, given that Piccadilly station is just over the road. A solid 7/10. pablos13 - 3 Feb 2010 09:27 |
| Very nice pub, excellent beer. Location is superb, but prices do put people off staying for long periods of time. I suspect a fair bit of trade comes from the one or two pints before me train trade, so hence the higher prices. Still well worth a visit if you like your real ales. Food aint bad either Saleblu - 30 Dec 2009 14:58 |
