The Salisbury, Manchester

It's a rock pub. Yes, in the evenings, the jukebox plays rock and metal, and loudly at that, but that's not a problem. It's still the finest rock pub in Manchester, even though it is cleaner and better furnished, with a little less atmosphere than it had back in it's real heyday. Beer is better though.

The Rain Bar, Castlefield

Lees is (on the whole) a filthy pint of beer, but here they do their best with it (which is basically just putting glitter on a turd). However, it's a great pub on a sunny day, because it's one of the very few pubs in Manchester with much outside seating down by the Rochdale canal, and the food is pretty good, but the rest of the time it's just a possible stopping off point between The Salisbury and the Briton's Protection.

The Peveril Of The Peak, Castlefield

Good atmosphere and lovely looking, characterful pub, but always seems to be bloody shut! They definitely need to put a bit more effort into the beer too; it's real ale, but lazy, unimaginative choices and they need to keep it better.
