called in for a quick one tuesday teatime, first time in years. Only the vault open, couldn't see any cask on just keg bitters and a poor lager selection, Carlsberg, Carling or Coors. Wasn't in long enough to form a fair opinion of the pub these days but it didn't seem like there was a great deal happening

Popped in for a cheeky one while walking past. A lot smarter than I remember it the last time I went in. At least 5 ales on, mainly local ones but I went safe I'm afraid to say and had a Black Sheep. Difficult to form an opinion over one pint but seemed a nice enough place.

The Airport Pub, Manchester Airport
Popped in for a cheeky one and totally changed since the last time I came in. More of a diner/restaurant these days. Nevertheless had a pint of Robinsons 'Trooper' which was well kept and the place had a good atmosphere.

Went in Saturday, first time in ages. The place is becoming a health hazard. Copper dragon, about as clear as the Ashton Canal, San Miguel, reeked of eggs and those gents, dear me. Used to be a cracking place and sorry to say this, but its become a bit of a hole to say the least

Hidden gem in an area where so many pubs are disappearing. Three cask: Mild, bitter and 'Two Hoots' which is especially good and friendly regulars. Real, honest Holts' local

What a find! Only stayed for a pint and a sandwich but will definitely be returning

Nice pub with Range of Black Sheep and Theakstons beers. Only stayed for a couple but seemed a nice, laid back kind of place

Ye gods , more like a young offenders institution than a boozer, went in with a few of the lads over Christmas and got constantly stared at by what looked like a smackhead in the corner who then came over and threatened to have us all shot! Nice...

Can't knock the Kings. A big Joey Holts house that does what Joey Holts' houses are supposed to do if you know what I mean!

In my opinion the Bush seems to prove to me that if a Landlord/brewery invest time and money into giving the punters what they want out of pub rather than being driven purely by maximising profits and minimising costs, then they will survive and even thrive. Good cask beers on even though the landlord is relatively new to keeping them which proves the time and effort that has been put in, sandwiches on a sunday, a good beer garden. can't fault the place.

Closed again, another pub in Droylsden/Audenshaw that used to be good before someone decided to adapt policies that ended up turning it into a dive.

lovely big pub in a nice setting. Good range of beers with a house cask and a usually seasonal guest, The 'Old Santa' that has been on over Xmas being particularly good. Food and service can be sometimes inconsistent but a nice pub alltold

Good Pub with a good selection of beers at reasonable prices. Landlord runs a tight ship in a pub which otherwise could attract goons. One major problem though, the gents are like an open sewer, they stink the place out and are in dire need of investment.

Used to be such a good pub, always packed and a good atmosphere but has sadly gone downhill over the last few years. Not surprising given that you have a draught choice of Carling, John Smiths Smooth, Keg Boddies, Guiness or cask 'Outstanding Blonde' which to be frank was awful. All prices sky high as well. Not sure who sets the policy regarding what they sell and at what prices; the Landlord or some external concern, but to me it has destroyed what used to be a quality pub. Have a look at the Lazy Toad. Not as nice a pub but a good selection of beers at reasonable prices. By far the busiest pub in Droylsden
