Early afternoon just a few others in this classic Mancunian beer house with lots of banter from the jovial barmaid..

Robinsons - Dizzy Blonde Amarillo Pale Ale3.80ExcellentThis crystal clear light refreshing beer has a clean zesty hop dominated palate complemented by a crisp dry finish. 4.5* if this option was available!

I Saw ChrisE's review saying this was one of his favorite pubs in Manchester so I gave it a go. I really liked it. Pints were £2.20 too!

Holt's (see also Joseph Holt) - Bitter4.00ExcellentLovely beer. They didn't kill the flavour with a super tight sparkler so the nutty best bitter flavour shone through

I was looking forward to coming here as it was one of my favourite pubs in Manchester but this afternoon I was put off by somebody playing a keyboard and attempting to sing in the rear bar, it was so loud that you could here it in every bar and outside the pub. I walked in the front door and exited from the rear door without stopping for a drink.

Joseph Holt (see also Holt's) - Bitter4.00ExcellentAvailable on 2 of the 3 handpumps, the other not in use. Surprised at £2.10 pp for Manchester City Centre but the barmaid reminded me it was bought through the free trade here

The pub is found in Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 4AA.

Located in Shudehill just a minute's walk from Shudehill tram stop. Divided into a number of drinking areas this pub has 3 handpumps and has, for a long time now, sold Holt's Bitter obtained through the free trade hence the cheap price that applies. In an area increasingly becoming a drinking circuit for the young this pub retains its traditional boozer feel and clientele.

We have visited this pub 7 times, seen 3 different beers and tried 2 of them.
