    Huge beer list, a rare whiskey menu and amazing organic home made pizza made by super Mario himself. What else do you want?

    A real revelation. Been slowly exploring dog friendly places in Manchester and this is one of the best. A huge beer list, great pizzas, extremely nice staff. Good vibes all around.

    Beer, wine, pizzas, staff and clientele are all excellent. The only place in Manchester, nay the world, that sells salmami.

    A frequent pub stop for cyclists. Lock bicycles on the racks behind, at the sports centre.

    Best place for real ale for miles around. Occasionally do really good little jazz gigs in here as well.

    Lovely bar - much nicer than The Pub just down the road, and cheaper than The Deaf Institute.

    I don't like the sensors at the toilets! Bar is rich and relatively cheaper

    Rude manager kicked me out for chatting to bar staff, terrible customer service. Note to manager: If you don’t know how to interact with customers, you should consider a change of career all together.

    Toilets have been renovated and are much better now, only urinals in the men's though...

    A bit hipster and kind of surly staff. Pizza very average given the price, beer selection very good not amazing. Would come back before a deaf institute gig again, probably not eat pizza though...

    These toilets are pretty much what you'd expect... Small and slightly grotty. You DON'T have to touch anything with your hands in here! Elbows all the way! :) slightly confusing on the way out... 6/10
