Marble - Dobber5.90GoodWas hoping for a logonda but it was not on. Tasted the dobber and it was a great improvement on the last pint I had. But still not the beer it was,

The whole of Manchester (and Newcastle) seem to have been drinking in the town's pubs today, and this was no exception but we found somewhere to sit and got served quickly. Only one beer on as the others had run out.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Marble - Pint (was 3.9%)3.40GoodA good well kept pint but it probably would not have been my first choice if any others had been available.

Excellent, almost a micro pub but not quite. I had a good chat with the barman who told of a few other newish places worth trying.

13:30 Long table occupied when we went in but group soon left. Had a problem with the beer, tasty but warm. Glasses or gravity? Couldn't be certain.

21:30 visit. Another new one on me in this area. Impressive range of foreign bottles noted as I sat near the storecupboard. Marble Ales, straight from the cask were top notch as always. Impressive place, at a price, but still impressive.

Strange cafe/pub with possibly the longest pub table I have seen.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Marble - Little Evelyn7.00GoodA collaboration between Marble and Hawkeshead, very nice but a bit to much alochol on the taste, a pale IPA style.

Busy but was able to get a seat at the long table and in a very un-British fashion you never know who you will sit next to or opposite. An interesting addition to the Northern Quarter pub scene. Lots of foreign bottled stuff available too.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Marble - Brew W903.90ExcellentPale bitter with big citrus hop taste. Full depth of flavour leaves a crisp clean citrus finish. My score 16/20.

Website.

The pub is found in Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1NA.

Initially a Marble Brewery venture, this is a long, thin shop conversion with a single long continental style table down one side opposite the bar. After a two month closure in late 2015 it re-opened and instead of selling real ales through gravity it had become a keg beer only haunt. Closed in August 2020 upon its sale to Fierce Brewery and re-opened on 4th September 2020 with this new operator.

We have visited this pub 8 times, seen 11 different beers and tried 7 of them.
