This is one of the finest surviving Ale Pubs in Manchester city centre. This gem has been grade 2 listed since 1974 & is well worth seeking out. The current management team are very friendly & helpful. Beers are stocked from far & wide including some unusual regional specials, eg Neptune from Maghull, that you are unlikely to find elsewhere in the city centre. Looking forward to my next visit Cheers !
