Crown & Cushion, Manchester

The L-shaped Crown & Cushion has a bar counter on the rear wall that had nothing special on, just standard keg and a premium lager. To the left of the of the central front entrance is a pool table that was hosting an intense Monday night league match. To the right of the entrance is seating and a conservatory is found at the rear. The jukebox was playing rock music, probably put on by the illustrated barmaid who was in rock chick attire. If I’m honest I thought the atmosphere was akin to a social club, but my stay was pleasant enough.

A fairly average pub that's been modernised inside. A pool table is to the left of the bar and the rest of the place is a single room. A beer garden is to the rear. Its nothing special and there's no real ale. It was friendly enough on this afternoon visit.

A decent enough looking pub from the outside with some bench seating at the front to allow you to sit and watch the traffic go by on the very busy Oldham Road. Once inside though it's been modernised to within an inch of its life. It's one fairly small room with a small stage to the left as you enter for Karaoke (spelt wrongly in the pub) and a giant screen showing sport. To the right there's a large video screen jukebox. There's also a beer garden to the rear. No real ale I'm afraid, so I had a half of Guinness. It's a totally nondescript pub really.
