The Dog and Partridge, Didsbury

Great pub. Quiet in the afternoons and evenings with good music but busier at night. TV's normally show sport but an ask will get them changed on request especially during quiet periods. Always draws a crowd for big rugby and football matches.

Up to 4 guest ales at any point as well as the ever-present Tim Taylors' Landlord and Theakstons Best. Fosters, 1664 and San Miguel on draught as well as Guinness and Strongbow. Once in a blue moon the landlord gets in Old Rosie, ah lovely.

Wide selection of Wines and Spirits (50ml shots!!!!) accompany massive selection of crisps, nuts and pork scratchings! Tradition lives on in the barrel of FREE monkey nuts in the corner of the pub which are guaranteed to give the sweeper at the end of the night a job to do.

Mainly a regulars pub (isn't Didsbury as a whole?) although it's very accommodating including Pint Pot Paul. As his nickname suggests he can balance a pint pot on his head and dance. Well worth buying him a pint to see him do it.

Drinks reasonably priced and anyway the cheaper drinks in Slug and Lettuce and O�Neill�s attract the scum to them instead leaving a merry crowd in the D+P :-)

On the whole, good surroundings, great staff (good-looking too!), good punters and nice drinks. What more could you want?
