Finished my trip around didsbury in this place and I’m afraid to say I wish I didn’t bother and stayed in some of the other exceptional bars in didsbury. nothing exceptional, okay guiness, nice staff.
Came in for the rugby. Good Guinness, good spice bag, but who puts the rugby on the big screen and every other screen except 1, and then plays the football commentary? So we left. One of the staff was very rude when I mentioned this. Manager guy in the cool hat was doing his best tbf.
As far as sports bars go it’s pretty naff to be honest. One big screen showing the cricket but then the ridiculously loud audio is coming from the small screen in the corner showing the gaelic footy? Pints on the expensive side also which doesn’t help their cause
A pub with a bustling vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful and service is efficient. We stopped for a bite to eat and a drink and could have stayed much longer. We had the bao buns and Tokyo burger and both dishes were fresh and tasty.
Nice big space. Great for watching sports. One of very few places with a dart board (although the location of the board near the toilets isn't ideal). Shuffleboard is a lot of fun and free to use on some weekdays.
Enjoyed coming here on a week day for a coffee with my young daughter, nice drinks, quite quiet and easy to maneuver with a pram. Bit tatty, the sofa chairs are stained and ripped and could generally use a bit of a deep clean but think they're going for that sort of rustic feel. There is an auto spray air freshener in the accessible bathroom that made my baby cough and start crying when I was changing her so stopped going, weird reason I know but it happened a few times. I did notice it was quite a suffocating smell for me aswell when stuck in there for a while with her.
Four stars as didn’t order any food just had drinks. Lovely place, good vibes, nice bloke serving. Outside seating very cute.
Great for watching sport and a large range behind the bar. I can't drink at the minute so the non-alcoholic selection was appreciated. The Erdinger is well worth trying.
