Top 30 Best Beer and spirits menus in Manchester

“Great traditional pub with a good range of drinks. Friendly staff & a warm atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit for a couple beers. I've not been in while the live music has been on but can imagine this would be a brilliant venue. I will be calling in again very soon.”

“Small local pub (Circus Tavern next door even smaller. ) Located in heart of the city. Refreshing change from the trendy bars. Been many times. Good Hydes beer but limited selection due to size. Toilets to rear in what was once an uncovered alley. Many years sgo the local Police foot patrol would pop in for a cheeky pint in said alley.”

“I have eaten here tonight, rather too much in fact. The chicken and tarragon ham pie was so delicious, and the veg was cooked just soft enough for my liking. The portion of side chips was generous. The chocolate torte was rich and I'm honestly glad I didn't go for cream on it! Highly recommended.”

“Lovely pub/restaurant. Very friendly staff and the food is fab. The crispy duck salad was especially tasty! We had lunch out in the garden - beautiful setting overlooking the river. So peaceful and picturesque.”

“First visit to the Horton Arms today and I wasn’t disappointed .Lovely, cosy pub- great menu with lots of choice and the food was delicious.

“My first time I was invited by Narrow Margin Tameside band to write a review on their comeback gig ! A real gritty place which encourages our new bands to play & to get discovered ! Truly an an amazing place to be seen & spotted ! Fantastic for the music scene! In the heart of Manchester’s music scene !”

“Absolutely fantastic. My partner brought me here on the 4th February for my birthday and all I can say is WOW! Staff were brilliant, the food was fantastic and soo well presented. Will 1000% be visiting again soon!”

“The savoury food here is incredible, the pizza, cheesey garlic bread and tatertots were all perfectly delicious! (Definitely get the cheesey garlic bread!) The cocktails were delicious too and they have a good selection of beers. Let them know if you’re celebrating as you might get a free shot! The servers are very friendly, attentive and genuine. The only slight disappointment for us was the dessert, it looked good but it tasted very claggy and it wasn’t the same quality and taste as the savoury options. Their is only one dessert option, so it really should be a good one. Will absolutely go back here, especially for more cheesey garlic bread and cocktails!”

“The staff were great with the kids taking them up to the football pitch upstairs! Made our day. Food was great and seemed made from scratch.”

“We went here for our Xmas football do and the restaurant was very accommodating. The restaurant was able to provide a TV so we could watch the second half of the England/France match and were more than happy to let a few of our party amend their order when we arrived. Very accommodating, lovely restaurant and the staff are really helpful. Food was lovely.”

“Very welcoming last night watching the football. Nice clientele and staff, thanks”

“Great atmosphere, good vibe,staff was brilliant , enjoyable time spent there”

“Really nice to see that some small brewers are happy to fly the sour flag in a market overwhelmed by IPAs. The only thing I would say is that there were lots of 'imperial' drinks - maybe these are good for winter, but I tend to steer clear of such strong beers.”

“I'm 62 yrs of age and been in many venues but pub is the cleanest one I have ever been in. The landlady is very friendly and the customers are too. Will definitely be going in here again”
