Pi, Chorltonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Large selection of beers accompanied by a free egg cup of peanuts, surly staff.

As its name suggests, popular for pies and more of an eating place, but also served a decent pint.

Hasn't been a review on here for a while so I thought i'd post one, went in there the other day, simply fantastic. As djl said, it's not about the real ale it's about types of beer from all over the world and the range is amazing. Very relaxed atmosphere and wonderful place to spend an afternoon.

This is a great friendly little place, a fantastic range of beers and pies to die for. A superb range of draught continental beers.I love the Dutch Lindeboom. There is even a real hand pulled cider on, though this is drunk at your own peril as I have found out!
Getting a table can be a bit of a problem, but in my experience they free up fairly quickly if you're willing to hang around (and believe me it is worth the wait). According to the website and displays in the venue, the pies are served until 11pm every night. I know I've eaten there late and seen pies coming out of the kitchen well into the night.
Well worth a visit

Whilst the ambiance of Pi was undenaibly appealing, the size of the place presents drawbacks. When I went there la while back, with a party of six to celebrate a special occasion, we waited more than twenty minutes to be seated. Nevertheless, the appeal of the pies on offer (which had been highly recommended to us by friends) made it worth the wait in our opnion, that is until we tried to place our order at the bar and were told that they stopped serving food at 8pm. It had just turned 8 O'clock, and technically we had been in the establishment for almost half an hour by then. We left....hungry. :-(

A friendly bar. Beer selection is top notch and the real ales are always impeccably kept. Pies are a great idea and even the music / ambience is spot on. Well recommended.

Pi probably doesn't have the best real-ale selection in the area, although it always has a few specials on, changing regularly. What it does have is one of the best beer selections anywhere in Manchester. If you ever have a hankering for a 14% Austrian Samichlaus or a refreshing James Boag from Tasmania, then this is the kind of place for you. As an added bonus they also serve pies, mash and mushy peas.

Probably my favourite bar in Chorlton. Nice cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. And an excellent range of bottled beers plus two hand pump real ales are always available.
I concur with Scottie - the pies & mash (and mushy peas) are excellent value!
