  “We visit Freemount regularly and have always enjoyed it, but lately we’ve been getting let down by some of the staffing, particularly on the door. Last week we were at the very front of the queue and didn’t end up moving from there to inside for almost 30 minutes. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue if it was just busy, but during that time we counted almost 30 people who were clearly friends or acquaintances of the door staff (mainly the lady, I think called kayla (?), who always works at the front door) being allowed to skip the queue and go straight in while everyone else waited. The queue was wrapped around the corner, and people were understandably confused and frustrated. It came across as really unprofessional and unfair. Not to mention the dirty looks the door staff are frequently giving, which doesn’t exactly make you feel welcome before you’ve even walked through the door. It’s a shame because we genuinely like Freemount and visit often, but experiences like this leave a bad impression.”

  “Went to Freemount Sunday night for a few drinks. Best bar in northern quarter for sure! Even on a Sunday there were amazing vibes! Brilliant live music, great range of drinks and Tess, our Bartender, was so helpful and friendly. Definitely will be returning! 😄”

  “Such a cosy gorgeous pub, was very busy when I went but it was a weekend. Had a lovely chat with Fran and one of the other bartenders who were both really friendly. Great guinness on tap”

  “My first experience at this bar, very nice atmosphere and service was great. I require assistance to move around and the server named Fran was very nice helping me get up and fetching my cane. The staff were all very helpful and pointed out the accessible toilets when I entered”

  “Great place, spacious however this may not be the case on a weekend evening time. Great selection of whiskeys but dies have plenty of other stouts and beers. Typically a good Irish collection.”

  “Great bar and great service from Ilinca. She was really friendly behind the bar, made some great drinks, and kept the good vibes going all night. Even when it was busy, she was quick and always had a smile on her face. Will definitely be back!”

  “Here I am in Manchester on a Tuesday night and I hear Irish music. Excellent. I was in Ireland not that long ago, guess what. All I heard was cover music. The atmosphere here is excellent, service is brilliant. If looking for an entertaining event, by all means, check out this pub.”

  “I came in here on a whim, wanting to enjoy the lovely sun. As a bit of a novice drinker, I felt slightly out of my depth. Luckily, Katie was working the bar. She gave me an extensive tour of the whiskey, we lost a solid ten minutes on peat alone! She soon pointed me to the Dalwhinnie. I had several. Feeling a bit out of my depth and like a mortal kombat character waiting for a fatality, I decided to switch. Emilie and Jack thankfully steered me to the Lagarita’s. The rest of the afternoon, while blurry, was one of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come here again. Cannot begin to recommend enough! Ask for Catelyn if you want to lose a Tuesday afternoon in the best way!”

  “Where do I start. The moment I walked in, atmosphere: absolutely buzzing. Nothing but good vibes from side to side. I walk to the bar and Caity descends like a winged Valkyrie ready to propose an offer I couldn’t refuse. Of course I ordered a jubel; upon this request I was served with the speed and precision never before seen by the likes of human kind. I, but a humble patron was blown away and left blindsided at the fact that my pint was only £5 (before 5pm apparently). The acoustic act blessed my ears like a chorus of birdsong as I walked away with my absolute steal of a pint. I bumped in to a lad and spilled a quarter of my pint but I wasn’t mad , how could I be? We shook hands and he bought me a pint, why wouldn’t he? It’s only a fiver! I will tell my children about this day. I also had a great packet of nuts.”

  “Out and about in Manchester with Albrecht. Have not been in this non real ale pub in many years but fancied a pint of Guinness. A very good choice. Albrecht had a pint of Estrella. £12.20 for the two pints. A one room pub taken back to the bare brick. A small rear outdoor area. Impressive spirit collection. Very friendly staff. The toucan murals take me back 60 years; we had metal trays with the Guinness toucans when I was a lad. ( sister still has them!) They do have live music. Pipped music was pretty damn good.”
