| 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 |
| A wonderful old British style boozer with a mouth-watering array of guest real-ales if somewhat pricey. The fat, drunken, bespectacled regular at the corner of the bar with the 'Banana-Quiff' is worth a visit alone. radiojoe - 24 Jul 2009 01:02 |
| I agree with most of the points already made, both good and bad. It is a better atmosphere than the plastic pubs in the train station opposite and the staff are friendly. However it is pricey by Manchester standards and the real ales are not always well kept. I haven't been in for a while because there are better, cheaper pubs within a short distance (like the Waldorf) but I notice from the frontage that it's now a Marston's pub so I'd be interested to know what effect that's had. m_j_t - 11 Jun 2009 08:48 |
