A waiting room until the Circus Tavern's 15.00 doors open. Commercialised and foody with an overbearing whiff of vinegar everywhere, thankfully not the same with the beer flavour..
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bootleg - Chorlton Pale Ale | 4.00 | | Refreshing blonde beer with a hint of citrus and long dry finish. |

Met up with Michael Moore. Not many in and no real atmosphere but a pleasant enough pub.

A busy Thursday evening, good service, and a good mix of customers. This is part of a very convenient crawl with tree excellent pubs almost next door to each other, and all offering different beers.
