| Well worth a visit at least before it dissappears of the radar - Tetley's is not a beer I rate that much, but it was cask in here and was well kept and suprisingly enjoyable - it can be done!! (take note other landlords). Staff and clientel very friendly. Would really love to see it carry on as a boozer. kernott1 - 5 Mar 2010 13:06 |
| This pub appeared on BBC TV this evening due to the long-standing owner selling up. wirraldrinker - 15 Feb 2010 18:57 |
| Very busy on our vist, a member of staff guided us to a seat and delivered our drinks order to the table, very impressed with the service but less so with the average pint of Tetleys on offer. As Holbornboy I wasn't keen on the pictures covering the interior and would consider the pub to be much better without them, same goes for the customer wandering around with a girlie mag sticking out of the back of his somewhat ample trousers. Worth a vist but not one I will rush back to time and time again boltonbloke - 5 Feb 2010 19:44 |
| One of Manchester's must-visit pubs, this Tetley Heritage Inn features on CAMRA's National Inventory and is beleived to be the smallest city-centre pub in the UK (The Grey Horse 2 doors down gives it a run for its money). As you enter the tiny corridor is where the bar, which can only be about 2 feet long, is, and the 2 small rooms are off to the right. They are each about 10ft square yet manage to have about 3 tables in each, along with wall-mounted seating. Each room has a pleasant gas fire and the walls of the entire pub are filled with pictures and photographs of Man City, Man United, Coronation Street and almost every other Manchester-related person you can think of. The rear room also has Sky Sports on a small TV. Impossible not to get talking to the friendly regulars in such a small environment, and you'll be glad. Peanuts and crisps are often provided free of charge by friendly staff. Possibly the only downside is that Tetley Bitter is the only real ale here, but it is invariably well-kept and I alway seem to enjoy it more than I expect. You'll probably want to visit at a quiet time to fully appreciate the pub, unfortunately there aren't many of those in here. Weekday afternoons are the best bet. Well worth a visit.

| Attempted to visit fri 4th dec, the doors were locked, went back sat 5th at dinner time and the barman informed us the doors get locked when the pub is too busy. This is another fine example of what a public house should be! Apparently its the smallest bar in europe, i opted for a pint of tetleys ( there is only 4 pumps at the bar), the pub soon started to fill up and the pub had a great old pub atmosphere, there is loads of intresting pictures of celebrities and locals that use the pub, barman was also very accomodating and friendly and made us very welcome, overall an excellent pub stevenlufc - 9 Dec 2009 20:30 |
