About Lord Nelson
Lord Nelson is a pub on Foxfold in Manchester, where DJ nights spinning 60s and 70s tracks give the room a reason to fill on music evenings. Drinks centre on draught beer served by the pint, with keg rather than cask lines on the bar. The pub works on a walk-in basis, so there is no booking to make, and orders are placed at the counter. A step-free entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without a lift or a step, and seating outside gives drinkers the option of sitting out rather than staying indoors. The doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcome from the barman, the landlord and the regulars, with several describing a friendly local atmosphere where the second visit brought a "nice to see you again." Close behind is the pint itself, with one reviewer praising a Guinness that was properly rested and another a pint with no short measure or heavy froth. Beer selection and prices draw praise from several, though one reviewer found the range was nothing but fizzy keg. Live DJ nights and 60s and 70s music come up, and one diner danced all night despite not liking dancing. Another says the room feels more relaxed than on an earlier visit, and a third watched the World Cup there. Reviewers also mention a clean bar and toilets. The caveats are mixed. One reviewer felt unwelcome as a non-local and was put off by no card payments and no wifi, and another found a barperson wearing rollers behind the bar unprofessional. One regretted that the pub serves no food, and one was surprised it wasn't busier.
