    Really nice pub just down the road from the train station. Ended up in here as it was near our hotel, and we were looking for somewhere to watch the football. Liked the place so much we came back most nights for a drink. They've got sports on the TV but also good music on in the background. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

    Last few pints last night before heading back home to London. Used to live round the corner from this place and always have enjoyed a pint in here! Staff are always lovely, chatty and welcoming. Food looks good and hearty portions (friend of mine ate last night) and they have a good selection of lagers/beers on offer. Location is fantastic, near major hotels, Manc Picc Train Station and Piccadilly Gardens! Shows the footy too with loads of big screen - only downside is that it’s a City pub…. 😉😁 Top little boozer for a few pints and a couple of games of footy!! A gem!

    ⚽️It’s a great place for watching football. ⚽️ The staff are also very friendly. I came here for food, I had Lasagne, garlic bread and chips.🍽 The food was nice, the Lasagne was very cheesy. 🧀

    Came here from Arizona. Nearest pub to where I was staying. Out of 3 days of pub crawling this was my local that I felt so comfortable with and made my home away from home. Jess and Jay were very welcoming. They made me feel home away from home. Great service and entertaining conversations. I would call them my lucky charms!! Very memorable times and can’t wait to be back.

    First time in here as I was meeting someone after traveling from Glasgow, I was pleasantly surprised by the Scottish choice of beers on offer, Brewdog and Innis & Gunn, I loved the atmospheres and the jubilee vibe for next week. Great pub.

    Forget your trendy bars, or places you only drink in, some others can see you. Just off main road, this is a proper boozer. Friendly staff, great range of limited edition ales and regular popular drinks. A throw back pub, meant as a compliment.

    Best place for man city fans to come and have a drink before a game but when your not going to a game its a nice off the street pub thats relaxed not too loud place to visit. Prices are fair here and the food is nice too!

    Called in for a quick pint and thoroughly enjoyed the place. Good selection of beers which were reasonably priced. Whilst I didn't get to sample any food from the menu, the choice looked very appetising, so much so I will be going back to give it a try. Still as good as ever.

  • 5/5 William N. 10 months ago on Google
    A very long time (29 years) since I was last in here. Was here with a large group in the function room. Reasonably priced drinks and food available. The food could be ordered upstairs in the function room. The pub downstairs seemed busy enough as well.

    A nice traditional pub close to the station. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks reasonably priced for the area. A nice mixed crowd.

  • 5/5 Alan B. 9 months ago on Google
    Haven't been there for a few years, it's had a spruce up since then and it's a nice pub to visit. They serve food but I didn't sample anything this time but it looked OK from what I saw being served. Beer was excellent and the prices are on a par with Manchester City centre prices.

  • 5/5 Lee G. 11 months ago on Google
    Spot on pub. Lovely clean. Bar staff were on it, making sure we'd got everything. They were very polite and pleasant. The drinks weren't badly priced for Manchester. I'll be adding this place to my list when I'm out for a pint in Manchester.

  • 5/5 Dot H. 11 months ago on Google
    Found this when looking for somewhere to have a quick lunch. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff were friendly and the food was delicious. Next time I am near the railway station I will definitely pop in again and I would definitely recommend it.

    Used to come here regularly as a footie pub. Back in 2004 saw Utd beat Arsessall in FA cup semi ..day after Milldew beat Sunderland at Old Trafford thus stopping Flat being at Wembley to see Sunderland v Utd. Seen many great sports events here. Good real ale selection. Wily Fox from Wigan was very good. Can get rowdyso close to Piccadilly...seen England fans here at their scummiest .. almost made me a foreigner..some nasty people support them..as seen at Wembley Euro final.

    What a lovely little pub down a side street off the main road. We was in Manchester for the day due to the football match. First time in Manchester we was looking for somewhere to eat and we was checking everywhere but all full so we just kept walking on the main road where we stopped and had a look round and I just seen a big notice on a side of a building saying great food. I made my husband to go in and see if there were any tables available. We was lucky there were a couple of tables free. We was welcomed by the bar man he was very friendly. Great selection of food. My husband had a burger with fries and a beer, my son had the southern fried chicken foot long sub with fries and a coke, I had the southern fried chicken wrap with fries and a J20 and a side of garlic bread. The food was amazing, cooked freshly and great value for money it was around £35. It also gives you 3 different options and prices that includes a drink, so you have soft drink, alcohol drink and drink premium drink some drinks are not included but it tells you on the menu what you can choose from. Very friendly staff. We would definitely go back there when we are next in Manchester. Highly recommended and you won't be disappointed.

    It was brilliant!!! The patron is lovely and the food and atmosphere was much better than expected!!! Fantastic British draft ales, and a great selection of lagers too. Great to watch football!!!

    Bar staff ignored me for a few minutes even though I was the only customer at the bar, the bar person was involved in the very pressing activity of putting glasses away, however, in my extensive bar work experience, that can wait, customers can't. I asked for lime and soda and was given a short glass, I politely asked for a tall glass and the bar person pulled a face at me. The atmosphere was good, the tables were cleared regularly and the toilets were clean. I'd go back as it was pleasant enough

    Nice pub, friendly staff and good food in a great location (not far from the station). Veggie burger available which is good to see. Sports on TV but also good music in background.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
