The 30 Best Pub style in Manchester

“Good pub but no music better if there was music and entertainment. New houses facing try and get younger and new people in the pub. Always been a good pub gone in for many years needs bringing in to the 21st century. Still plenty of characters go in the pub but it is an older type of persons pub so could or needs more to attract new people in. Just needs to attract more people. Pub is old school like a proper pub should be.”

“Visited randomly during the day for 2 pints en route to Manchester Airport. Good pint of Guinness and friendly barmaid. Plenty of regulars enjoying themselves. No trouble. Enjoyed my hour or so there.”

“First time visiting came for the jazz night, love the decor not your usual generic old man’s pub, came solo didn’t feel uncomfortable what so ever, the owners clearly have taste in the whole old meets new vibe… manifesting this to be my local when I move”

“What an absolute banger of a pub this was to experience. It’s like stepping back in time at how pubs should be. Really nice beers and ales on tap and a absolutely huge beer garden. Covered and uncovered seating for any weather”

“What can I say cheap good beer and great people Friendliest pub in Farnworth”

“I attended an event in the upstairs lounge bar. I loved the environment. The staff were quick and friendly. Overall, a great time was had”

“A fabulous pub. Despite being hemmed in by the continuing high rise building that the dreadful council allow to make this once fine city as ugly as possible, this gem retains its character. It was around during the Peterloo Massacre and injured were brought there for treatment. It serves some fine real ales, has an extensive beers garden, comfortable interior and a room with some excellent United photos and memorabilia. Well worth a visit.”

“Came in yesterday at around 7 to grab some food and a quick drink with a friend, Keira on the bar was lovely, very friendly, chatty & pours a lovely pint! Despite having a queue at the bar she still managed to keep a smile on her face and give every guest the best & quickest service possible. She even told us about a great deal on the restaurants app for two for one on the cakes, which we used to get desserts for when we was finished! The food was amazing, we had a farm giant burger and a mixed grill. Wonderfully cooked and presented! Will definitely be returning here!”

Not been here for quite a fee years. The new management has greatly improved. Will defo go back. (Didnt take photos of food)”

“Ak, thanks Great pub with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The drinks are reasonably priced, the music is not too loud, and the place feels genuinely welcoming. Perfect spot to relax after a long day. Definitely coming back!””

“Friendly staff, great tasting food with quick service but it was very quiet when we visited. No unnecessary fuss made over a customer being disabled yet adjusted made where required (chair moved from table after being asked,not presumed thats what's required, suitable accessible bathroom, extra napkins)”

“Looking for a place to enjoy the night with good people then this is the place. Free pool on Wednesday for those who enjoy a good game with a pint. They also have a team who have won a lot of trophies as well as the darts girls so well done for that. They have karaoke all weekend and then karaoke competition on a Monday which is fun but also you get to see Hyde for some of its good talent. Not often a place for trouble and any time there is any then it's dealt with immediately to allow the good people to enjoy their night. Also run by a brilliant landlord and landlady who are friendly to everyone and join in with the fun.”

“A great, friendly pub, for everyone. Warm in winter, if you’re trying to save on heating come and have a pint instead for not much more. Also shows all the football without feeling like that sort of place. Newly added beer garden is great.”

“Only go for the slimming world It's great”

“Called here for a Christmas tree at the weekend.... Wow it was like a magic wonderland with a path leading through the trees and they had a lad there that was working with the families and encouraged them to shout happy Christmas when they found a tree.... It made it really magical. The tree was super great value compete with wooden block and free local delivery the trees were priced up and what you see is what you get/ pay. The service with a smile, the great advice and the whole experience I would recommend, family business that's been there years.”

“First time in tonight and couldn't have been more welcoming great barmaid would highly recommend”

“Called in while driving past. I have visited many times over the years and have not been disappointed with the food. Plenty of choice of meat and vegetables. They often have a choice of pie as well. I can't comment on the other menu just the carvery. I always enjoy the food when I visit and would recommend it to anyone wanting a carvery.”

“We have just moved into the area and decided to take a chance on this place after a long day of unpacking. What a wonderful evening we had! We were greeted and served by Luize, Kate, and Sue who were all very warm, welcoming, and inviting. The food was gorgeous and exactly what we needed, and the atmosphere was great (I'm an 80s child and to hear lots of the music of the time was just the icing on the cake for me). Firmly think this will be one of our favourite places for the foreseeable future! Thank you guys for making a very hard day that much more bearable!”

“Great pub and atmosphere friendly people and bar staff very helpfull”

“Now this is good customer service. We’ve come here for a bite to eat after lots of walking. I am pregnant currently so There’s lots of cheeses and sauces I wasn’t sure if I was allowed for being pregnant so we asked one of staff members and they went to check for me. After this, the Manager then came over went over the whole menu with us and reassured me. She even went back to check the tubs and to google the brands of stuff they use to make sure it was safe for me to have. Top tier customer service absolutely lovely staff and food. Couldn’t recommend more xxx”
