Vinyl Tap every Tuesday, various DJs, some famous, some not-famous-yet, great food and amazing vibes, friendliest staff and lovely happy people. Extra points for the profi coffee machine and the Vegan Burger. Will definitely be coming back xx

What a great little bijou bar in the middle of the science park! Characterful and comfy. Nice selection of beers and drinks, good food served, decent coffee machine etc. well worth nipping in.

The Old Abbey is our local no more. Unfortunately it has been stripped bare of any of it's old character and sold it soul to become a venue rather than a pub. Catering more for student parties. Ask for a whisky and all they can offer is Jack Daniel's or Tennessee. Not even a token Scotch or Irish. They used to have a good balance between pub and venue and as a local you felt welcome. I know that they cannot only cater for locals but believe they are struggling to survive with the direction they have taken. So sad.

We've lived five minutes away from this place for seven years (and been at uni around the corner for three years before that) but have somehow never heard of this place. The only reason we came across it is through a Facebook post about their e-bike sadly being stolen, which they were using for deliveries and community support work. As the owner of a socially conscious cargo bike-powered business myself, my interest was immediately piqued! Then I investigated further and found that this place does fantastic burgers and pizzas, with the best selection of beer you'll find for miles around. They had opened the beer garden following the easing of covid restrictions, but were also doing deliveries and pick-up. My wife and I ordered a cheeseburger, pollo e pepe pizza and portion of chips to share, as well as a two-pint jug of fresh draught IPA. The food and beer was excellent, but what really impressed me was the friendly vibe of this place, that somehow has been hiding in plain sight since we came to Manchester.

Made the effort to walk out of town for this place, as apparently CAmRA pub of the year. The beer I had was nice enough, although nothing special. Quite expensive. There was a small group of self-facilitating media nodes, who left shortly after I entered leaving me as the only customer there. Two minutes later the music, which was okay, was turned off. At the end of my stay I went for a slash, and for some reason the bartender felt the need to come and watch me. Probably won’t be rushing back. (Edit 30/09/23) So I did go back, and preferred it the second time around. They had run out of the beer I wanted though, and the one I did drink was pretty bland. Still, upping my original two stars to four, as at least the barmaid was friendly this time, and apparently they do some of work for the community.

i love coming to the old abbey: good food, lovely bar staff (special mention to the person behind the bar who let me have a rollie), and great prices for all goods provided. the events they put on are always cracking and they're very community driven which i really appreciate :)

A wonderful venue, with a stage in the beer garden. The food is phenomenal and inexpensive, with plenty of choice for veggies and vegans. The staff are very friendly. They have a great selection of beers and ciders, including IPAs

Love this pub, and it’s only made better by the quiet neighbours. Visit!

We attended an talk on the subject of Dementia and absolutely enjoyed the deliciously prepared food from continental Africa

Grubby place, ignorant staff and no lager! 😖 wrong customer you answered! I didn’t go in til Sunday night 23 rd October! So check who you are being rude to ! I guess you got it wrong! . Staff accusing customers of not paying and couldn’t be arsed serving us waiting ! I was hoping for a nice local pub, sadly disappointed ☹️

Everything about this please is great, good staff, good food, great music. But PLEASE update your opening times. We came with family because it says on the website and Google it opens at 2. Says its open at 3 on Facebook and 5 on Instagram. So it's hard to know when to come!
