stopped by for a drink on the way to the football a droylsden fc and the good thing is the pub is next to the ground, decent ale from holts i had a pint of holts bitter also on was holts mild and ipa. it was quite busy as they have sky sports. also if you are going to the game next door and you like real ale it might well be a good idea to stay in here right up till kick off as the club house has no cask

The council said the tram would bring people to Droylsden but all it has done to the pubs of Droylsden is send people to the many cheap john Smith's and carling pubs of Ashton under Lyne. This is a real shame because the kings is a great holts pub that has lost its characters due to cheap beer up the road. This pub is in the good beer guide and with Ashton under Lyne only having wetherspoons as there entry it tells you Ashton isn't a big real ale area. If your travelling by tram try a pint in Droylsden for a change.

After a brief visit to the Railway in Openshaw (not listed in here, but reasonably good), I pulled into the Kings Head at Droylsden. It's a large pub with 3 rooms sited around a large central bar. It's a Holts pub with friendly customers. 3 ales were on - Bitter, IPA & Maple Moon. I had the latter, which was ok, without being too spectacular. The pub car park is adjacent to Droylsden's football ground.

Deserves place in the Beer Guide; usual style Holts pub with high turnover of quality Bitter (about �2.20) which is all you need. Good mix of locals, no signs of food but plenty of screens. Next door to the football ground (missing you in the Conference).

Now in the good beer guide for 2013.

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!

A local of mine so im always going to be biased. The Holts is always on top form and the staff are always welcoming. Has started to put a guest beer on but its only found in the small room as the locals tend to go for the Holts. Its next door to the football ground which doesn't serve real ale only bland lager and a poor imitation of mild so make The Kings a must visit if your team ever plays The Bloods (Droylsden F.C)

Had a couple of well-kept pints of Holts Bitter in here before visit to nearby Droylsden football ground. Classic room layout and very friendly staff and locals.

Large purpose built Holts�s pub near Droylsden market. It has multiple rooms including three lounges and a massive tap room. There�s a very mixed clientele leaning more towards the mature end (OK it�s full of fossils really and we were some of the youngest in there). Holts�s cask Mild and Bitter on the bar at very competitive prices as usual. It�s a decent pub but it�s pretty basic and definitely a working mans local.

Decent Holts pub with large screen for sports and smoking area.
