The Salisbury, Manchester

Thanks, Dave. Love you too.

I have had several evenings in the Salisbury over the last few weeks and, sadly, found the beer very variable. In comparison with the pubs in that area, then 'Yes', it was better - however, it did lack consistency and did not encourage me to ask for more.

Sorry if you took that as sarcasm, it was intended as a constructive comment. The pub has a good atmosphere, good staff and great clientele.

If you want to see how it could be done, I would suggest you check out my review(s) of The Cricketers, Keighley - and, then, pay them a visit. Try a Tuesday night, you won't be disappointed.

And, no, I won't call you names...

And another good night tonight. Great band - although they never said their name.

Why - oh why - don't other pubs get it? Look after your beer, employ (and, hopefully, pay well) alert and friendly bar staff, provide good, free entertainment and reap the rewards.

Shame I'm on SV116 tomorrow...

Work overseas and stay in Manchester over the summer. In two months, haven't managed to find a pub with good beer OR decent music. First night in Keighley and back to the Cricks. With the Midnight Special band playing. AND Yates' on tap.

Memo to self, 'Don't waste money and time in the big city'.
