  “A proper pub. Staff know about their beers and whisky and are helpful and friendly. No airs and graces, a place where people go to drink in peace and meet friends. Probably unchanged since the fifties.”

  “Great boozer, although small it’s an interesting space with character and some good beers on tap. Will defo return, hopefully once they’ve got the darts for the dartboard”

  “Never had food there, not even sure they serve food but the snacks are good, although I miss the monster munch. Great pub with great beers. A proper boozer. My favourite place to drink in Manchester”

  “Probably at this point the best pub in Manchester. Great range of Cask ale and a few nice pints on keg. Prices affordable and all in a beautiful historic building. Bar staff are always great.”

  “Old school pub with lower than average city centre prices……..so long as you don’t mind the bad decor and smell of sweat and p*ss! The “Odin” was a decent pint. Could have done without the smart a*se comments from bar staff when I couldn’t remember the 10 drink order!”

  “Cracking boozer in Manchester City centre. Large selection of ale including gluten and vegan options. 2 main rooms both with a nice ambience for drinking. Small outside area at back which is sheltered. Very good service behind the bar. Sells jumbo packs of midland pork scratchings for £2. Highly recommended is this pub 🍻 🐷”

  “A truly fun, cozy pub that was rockin’ on an early Friday afternoon. Full of groups of friends catching up over some fine ales. Rustic is an understatement. This place has seen its share of time and patrons. Young, friendly guy at the bar explained some of their cask options, of which there are many. Plenty of regular draft, too. An absolute classic of a pub that I fear will disappear based on the age of the clientele.”

  “Superb side street traditional style pub in Manchester City Centre, offering a great selection of cask ales and a few keg in lovely condition. As you can see from the photos, the range of styles on cask - all of the board is cask except from the bottom two, and is constantly rotating - is very varied and well balanced from a DDH Pale, bitter, mild to porter - and the breweries they are supplied from are absolutely top notch. I paid £5.50 for a pint of the Brew York DDH Pale, which was served in the correct glass with a lovely head. Staff are friendly, and the atmosphere was good with a nice splattering of couples and groups in on a Monday lunchtime. Definitely one for ale lovers to seek out.”
