    Another abomination to society. I live locally in the area and decided to come here with some ethnically diverse friends visiting from abroad. Suddenly out of nowhere we had the manager acuse my friends of dealing drugs. We abhorrently confused and tried to get an explanation for the accusation but to no avail we decided to just leave. As a local we feel offended, embarrassed and discriminated. Hopefully the establishment can assess this and make justifiable changes.

    Popped in here on Friday night and left after waiting to be served for a good long while. It felt somehow that our ‘faces didn’t fit’ as person after person were seen to before us. Our money was well spent elsewhere.

    Dante is a proper little dirt, tried coming on to me when my girlfriend was with me. The one with the glasses on she is so rude will not be going in again. Also way overpriced

    An absolutely amazing hidden back street gem pub, the landlords Robert and Lisa absolutely awesome, nothing is to much trouble, a cosy cool boozer, that's had so much work done to it over the last few years and they take very good care, of the pub, the customers and the staff. The landlord Robert has an amazing singing voice and regular holds karaoke, Elaine an icon in herself, such a wonderful asset to the wheatsheaf as are the girls on the bar, highly recommend popping down to a safe, clean, warm welcoming pub a home from home. Everyone goes above and beyond and they make each and everyone customer feel very welcome, pop down for really great priced drinks, great wine selections and a good chit chat thankyou x

    Didn't get a chance to swing by but we were trying to get into our Airbnb nearby and the owner of The Wheatsheaf came over to help without asking for anything. Lovely man and his business is always lively but not noisy throughout our stay. Will be back to specifically visit - cozy lovely corner pub.

    Brilliant place to visit, not extortionate manchester prices either. Great atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff, definitely a place to visit in Manchester.

    Traditional no frills pub -called in today for a tribute afternoon to a regular ‘Motown Kev’ -friendly bar staff , great atmosphere and good prices . My only gripe is there are no locks on the ladies toilets but other than that a great little pub !

  • 2/5 Vic D. 11 months ago on Google
    Music far to loud .can't move in there .Hard work for a man to get to the toilet. As drunk woman dancing in crowds in the gap where u walk just at the bar .be patient. And be ready to dodge people out of way to get to toilet .and bring some ear plugs as people singing on karokee is far to loud .needs turning down. Wee on seats too.

    If you go to Manchester, please go to this pub. The barmaid is an absolute queen, the jukebox is free, and the locals are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Can't recommend a place enough, can't wait to go back 🍻

  • 5/5 King S. 1 year ago on Google
    I really liked it here. Old school pub. We have one in my town, so I had to see this. I left before the karaoke was about to start but it looked very lively mid day. I'll be back.

  • 4/5 Steve B. 1 year ago on Google
    Unique crowd for a city centre boozer. Probably the last of it's kind, a world away from the trendier joints in the NQ. Enjoy while you still can.

    Visited yesterday and enjoyed a few Guinness whilst on a trip to see Black Crowes in Manchester...... probably the best pub in Manchester; fantastic music, friendly staff and great beers!

  • 5/5 Samantha Jane E. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited there last night and previous Sundays on and off. Always a good atmosphere and good music. To the landlord who just asked me what night I was in, I couldn't reply to your question, so edited my post for you. You might remember me, I was the ladt with the crutch.

👍👍 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...
