After work drinks in Manchester

“Not had the pleasure for a while but no need to worry. Usual great beer albeit slightly smaller choice. Awesome bar staff;Lucy even remembered my dog's name after more than a year and miraculously produced a sausage to welcome him back! As for the locals I'd challenge even a Tory MP to leave without making new friends! Best pub in Tameside by far.”

“Good, friendly local, has some charactors, but that's what I like. Doesn't do food, has a pool table, darts and sports on the TV.”

“Attend a busy birthday function, the atmosphere was fun, and the queue for drinks was kept to a minimum due to quick serving staff”

“Great local pub. Amazing friendly staff. Fantastic atmosphere. And a large beer garden”

“Great pub with friendly staff and amazing guiness”

“Wide range of obscure but tasty local beverages. Awesome selection of food too. I'd recommend the hot-dog for the hungry, and the puppy-dog for the not-so-hungry. Attracts a good mixture of people, young and old. Good for families too.”

“Lovely little pub on a nice spot next to the canal. Cosy inside but probably better outside on a sunny day.”

“A great pub with amazing staff, especially Millie! Prices are really really good. £19.05 for Dbl JD & Coke, Dbl Jamesons & coke and Dbl Armeretto & Coke. Very clean, welcoming and friendly pub, no issue was to small with happy faces all around and sport on the TV. Also a dartboard which is rare in a pub these days and great slot machines. Will certainly be back to try the food which smelt and looked amazing.”

“Great pub. We visited on Friday. It was Friendly! Clean. Lovely local barmaid. She even rang the last orders bell for me :) We went next door for fish and chips and got to eat in inside too.”

“Nice and cosy local pub and great beer ,friendly staff too .”

“Lovely pub with friendly and knowledgeable team. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made sure we felt right at home. The place was clean and tidy, which added to the overall positive experience. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great place to relax and enjoy a good time.”

“Saturday 19th July 2025 Today i visited the best real ale pub in didsbury A really good range hand pulled ales on offer a propper edwardian pub with small rooms and staff and locals suprb This pub for real ales the best pub in Didsbury”

“Great beer, fantastic friendly atmosphere, even on derby day. Good screens for football and they tend to put food on for the football too. Best pub (without food on offer) in Dukinfield for me.”

“New Sunday lunch menu is delicious!! Really good gravy, lamb/beef/pork/vegetarian options all looked great. Bar staff unsure which is their favourite - always a good sign!! Haha very friendly bar staff too. Very full and content now :) vegetarian pictured. Looks like not enough gravy, but plates are huge so there was actually plenty. Thanks! :)”

“Great local pub with a warm welcome for all. A great selection of larger and other draught drinks. With the added cocktails for all to enjoy.”

“Superb pub, attractively furnished with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and a good range of Holts cask ales including an excellent stout.”

“We had a big group booking for our annual Christmas meal with our friends and the food was incredible. The servers couldnt do enough for us and catered to our every need. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back next year”

“Cosy pub in a former post office building. Wide range of local and international beers. Events include: pub quiz, poetry night, live music and painting night. I haven't eaten here, but friends have told me it serves good quality, pub-style food. Outdoor seating available. Friendly and efficient staff.”

“Great pub food always Always lovely food here”

“I had a couple of guinness. No food. Didnt see they had Murphys until late so i will be back for a pint of that They have tayto Great atmosphere here, people enjoying the craic or watching the GAA. I visited this pub when it was the Tavern. I wrote a bad review amd critised whoever was running it, as it seems like a nice wee spot. The new people who have taken it over have put some love into this. Well done. I went in with low expectations and was proved utterly wrong. I cant understand how they can offer a free buffett. I would urge you to give this place a go.”

“The best pub in the NQ, great layout, atmosphere and outside area that’s perfect for all occasions. We’ve been here a few times for bottomless brunch and it’s been faultless, great value, great food and even better service. They also have a good happy hour on cocktails and pints. Recently we went specifically for food, trying out their new spring menu. The food was fantastic, classic British menu done to perfection and it’s an absolute bargain in comparison to other pubs of a similar calibre in Manchester. The fish and chips was huge and absolutely delicious, the batter was so different to any other fish and chips I’ve had and it was thoroughly enjoyable. The steak pie was full of meat and incredibly fresh and rich. It really superseded our expectations. Given the quality of the food and the portions I’d say they could charge more but they keep it at great value. The service was also fantastic considering it was busy, our server Katie S was excellent, attentive and even wished my mum a happy birthday which I’d forgotten I put on the booking notes. Thanks for a great afternoon, we’ll be back to try the rest of the menu. It’s a must visit for anyone in Manchester.”

“Great pub. Attractive and traditional, retaining its original character. Well over 100 years old, built to serve the local Smithfield Market in particular. Good beers at sensible prices. Very friendly atmosphere. Seating outside which was very welcome on a hot day.”

“Very cosy pub. Staff and regulars make you feel very welcome. I love it in there”

“Lovely pub, great staff and a really nice outdoor garden area! It had sports playing on 3 different TV’s and the prices were very reasonable, will definitely visit again when I’m in the area!”

“Superb..listed National Inventory pub Friendly staff excellent Holt cask ales”

“Best pub in Eccles. It's absolutely beautiful. Beer garden is decent enough as well. But the staff are brilliant and an easy place to pop in on your own and have a good hours chat with whoever is about. Stout always well served”

“Had a great night here .Staff very friendly good quick service at the bar . Hadn't been before but would go again. Good size dance floor large round tables we were at a function great night.”

“One of the best traditional pubs left in the town centre. Excellent bar staff & friendly customers. Comfortable seating areas upstairs & below I would definitely recommend a visit to have a pint or two.”

“Had our Christmas do here on Friday. Staff were SO lovely and efficient, food was phenomenal. The vegan mushroom pie was excellent, plenty of extra gravy provided. Really nice night thank you.”
