Lounge About, Northenden

Lounge About is a bar of two halves, well what was two shops really. The left half is a drinking area with tables set out for drinking or dining, whilst through the wall on the right is the lounge which used to have low leather sofas and coffee tables for a more relaxed ethic. This was changed in early 2015 to give a more rustic feel as it now houses three huge tables carfted from wooden railway sleepers with accompanying benches. Decor is very much cafe-like with lots of mono photos (many featuring Manchester bands) and some bric-a-brac. Sports, particularly football, are shown on three big screens. At the back is a beautiful little, secluded beer garden; whoever tends this does so with great care, it's a real picture. A nice place to get away from the bustle of Palatine Road. The real ale changes after each product goes, thus keeping the range an ongoing surprise to customers. For variety two 'craft ale' lines also operate.
