Hidden in a hollow of the historic “little Ireland” section between Oxford Road Station and Oxford Road, this brown-tiled pub has long been a favourite with rock fans. The interior has lost a lot of its original features, but the bar has some areas of interest. There are usually up to 6 real ales on, including the (for Manchester) rare Old Peculiar. Also serves two ciders which are non-real. The beer garden is out the back of the pub, past the jukebox. Always friendly, it also serves pizzas from 3pm with happy hour on pizza 3-6..
Although it is generally quieter mid-week, it gives a discount to those with a gig ticket, so can be very busy. Plenty of nooks to sit in with your pint.
Of interest as decoration there is a small cask of Watney's Red Ale on the bar.
Payment is by card only.
