Quick info
About White Lion Manchester
White Lion Manchester is a Craft Union pub at 43 Liverpool Rd in Castlefield, near the canal path and Aviva Studios. Dogs are welcome, and the team brings water over to them, so owners can bring a pet along for a drink. Live sport plays on the TVs, with football among the coverage. The bar runs several taps, including Landlord on draught, and stocks alcohol-free beers such as Guinness 0.0 for anyone not drinking alcohol. The pub presents itself as a local for match days and for catching up with friends.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly staff and the relaxed, homey atmosphere of this local, with a few calling it a great little pub. Live sport is close behind, with good TVs and football on screen making it a spot for watching a match. Drinkers mention a pint of Landlord that was spot on, plenty of choice on tap, and a good selection of alcohol free beer, including an ice cold Guinness 0.0. The beer garden and big outside seating come up repeatedly, and a few describe the prices as reasonable or pretty cheap. One reviewer says the pub has been up and down over the years depending on the landlord and staff, but feels it is now back at its best. The one sharply negative account involves a flat vodka and coke, where the bar would not pour another and told the customer to drink it flat. Elsewhere, one visitor with dogs found the bartender welcoming enough to bring over water for them.
