The Piccadilly Tap is of course very convenient for the nearby Piccadilly railway station. However, as railway taps go, I much prefer the Victoria Tap across the city.
There are 2 floors to this bar, with the bar in the centre to the rear of the ground floor. A blackboard on the right-hand wall lists the cask and keg selection. Most drinkers congregate on the ground floor, meaning there are often free tables upstairs, where the unisex toilets can also be found. There is outdoor seating to the front at street level and also on a balcony upstairs.
Cask ales on yesterday were Bradfield Farmer's Blonde & Stout, Runaway Queen Bees & Adnams Southwold Bitter. Bag in the box ciders can be found in a fridge to the rear right. These were Pulp Apple Cider & Lilley's Bee Sting Perry. Craft beers were Runaway Queen Bees (also on cask), Adnams Mosaic, Siren Lumina, Vault City Cloudy Lemonade, Squawk Mallard & Skua, Shindigger Mango Unchained & JW Lee's Stout. There was also a fizzy cider (Adnams Wild Wave).
It's been over 5 years since my last visit here and it's not my favourite bar in Manchester. However, I wouldn't rule out a return visit as it's an easy final stop if catching a train from Piccadilly.

Drops in and out of the Good Beer Guide and is currently there in the 2024 edition.
Former shop right on the station approach, so a better place to stop than greggs.
Typical collection of interesting beers but a low score for serving Rothaus in a standard UK pint glass. If I am paying for the experience, I want the full experience.
Head upstairs for more tables and a fine view of the commuters below.

A busy pub just outside the station. The bar is unusual, being shaped a little like a pier, sticking out into the dock which is the floor space where the drinkers congregate. There are five hand pumps along one side, but it seems the staff don't serve from that side (or maybe that's just how it panned out when I was here). I had plenty of time to contemplate this while waiting to be served as it was so busy, and one of the beers was misbehaving and another needed changing. My half of Hawkshead Bitter was in good nick and I would have no problem calling in again, though next time I would try to make sure I have more time to spare before the departure of my train.
