| Gem of a pub, due to the real ales in the most part, great selection and in tip top condition, they seemed to make an effort for the MWAF refugees by putting on a beer festival. Abteilung - 29 Jan 2010 20:03 |
| Have to agree with gillhalfpint - what a great beer festival list, and what an inspired idea to let people order another seven beers from the cellar. All in tip top condition, friendly service, and an old style pub atmosphere. Will definitely pay this pub a visit whenever I find myself in Manchester. Amarillo_Tyke - 25 Jan 2010 22:28 |
| Wow what a great beer festival list on here. There were 9 great beers on the pumps at the bar, and another 7 available from cellar runs. Fantastic. Enjoyed 8 here before making my way to the Winter Ales Festival and it will be a start to the next couple of days too as there are lots more beers on the festival list. Today the beers in excellent condition were from Bees, Bluebell, Castor, Graffiti, Ha'penny, WC, Beeston and Tydd Steam. There has been a bit of a revamp and the old kitchen area is another seating area now. gillhalfpint - 20 Jan 2010 19:53 |
| A typical "spit and sawdust" type pub in a run-down area near the city centre, but with excellent cask ales. Worth dropping in on a pib crawl. alexw - 7 Dec 2009 18:44 |
| Just a Lancashire beer festival actually, to celebrate Lancashire Day (November 27th), featuring beers from around the Palatine and some from further afield. This was the busiest I've ever seen the pub, added to the post-match Man City crowd it made for a good atmosphere and not a seat to be had. ^ handpumps of Lancashire beers on my visit. Tried the house brew Smithfield Bitter, a snip at £1.90 a pint, plus Bazens' Lancashire Hop Pot. Both in great condition and served with a smile. One of the best and widest-ranging beer ranges in the city centre. It's a basic one roomer in a run-down part of town that some might call shabby, with a a pool table and warehouse style pillars. The open kitchen that faces out on to the room is indeed an oddity, but I've never seen it in action. It's a proper Mancunian pub in a city that seems desperate to eschew its heritage in frenzied pursuit of modernity, so don't be put off by the careworn exterior. It's completely different from the surrounding pubs in the Northern Quarter and complements a crawl of the area well. Carlurmston - 3 Dec 2009 12:43 |
