Oxford Social, Manchester

Revolution is a small open plan bar with worn padded benches under the front windows and up the left-hand wall. High tables run up the right and the serving counter is found along the rear wall where it faces a central line of high tables before a line of standard tables behind. There are more than enough televisions on the walls, these were all of during a recent Monday afternoon visit. There is an upstairs area, but this was closed off due to there being hardly any punters. The service was polite, but the draught stretched to premium keg and Neck Oil. The San Miguel wasn’t great because the lines needed a clean a long time ago. A below par city centre bar.

A generic square box with an upstairs area that was closed on my visit. One, fairly small room downstairs with lots of dining tables and chairs, there's also lots of fairy lights. They were doing a roaring trade serving fish & chips on a Friday late afternoon though. The only saving grace for me is that they have Goose Island IPA on keg.
