8 handpumps in use in this two room pub. Also has a beer garden. Food not sampled put looked good being served to a party that filled the rear room. Range of breweries on offer though none represented the LocAle sticker on the door.

I have to admit to being slightly disappointed by this place. The ale selection was reasonable - there were plenty of guests, but only 2 or 3 more unusual ones sourced from decent microbreweries. It probably didn't help that my visit was at about 9pm on a Friday night - and therefore it was packed, and I didn't see much of the pub (the bar was very small). We managed to find somewhere to perch outside though - nice to see somewhere where pavement drinking is allowed and tables are provided for standing drinkers. The service was friendly enough, but I won't be rushing back.

One of my favourite pubs in Manchester, although I will admit there’s a fairly long list of them. I’ve never been let down by the beer here, there’s always something interesting on and the service is good. A decent honest pub that hasn’t changed much over the years and remains a good place to sink a few pints.

One of the hidden gems of Manchester though only 100m from the visitor centre. They currently have 6 or 7 guest beers on tap everyday, which regularly change, and not just your usual northern ales like Jennings but ales and ciders from everywhere in the country. The staff are very friendly and most know their stuff. It still looks very "18th century style" when they disappear down the floor hatch behind the bar! You can regularly see CAMRA members doing tasting sessions before they buy. Hardcore! The "upper" room and bar are small but if you can fight your way down the steps to the "lower" room it's quite snug. Yes it is hammered after work on Fridays but only til about 6.30 or 7.00. There's now a small "smoking area" (where I think they used to keep the delivered barrels?) next to the women's loos. The blokes loos have always been tiny and a bit rough but after a couple of pints of Adnams or Shepheard Neame you don't realy care! The Black sheep was especially good last time. It's not as homely as Briton's Protection but for real ale lovers it's definitely one of the best in Manchester city centre
