The Grapes, Eccles, Salford

There were two customers sat with the landlady at a high table in the small L shaped bar to the right of the entrance when I visited The Grapes at around 22:00 on Wednesday night. Under the front right window are a couple of low tables along with some armchairs and there is a seating room to the left of the entrance. At the rear is more seating and on the rear wall is a projector screen. Televisions are located throughout for airing live sport, but these were all off/muted during my visit in favour of some background music. A DJ is advertised for Friday and Saturday nights. Only keg available and cash only.

Still exactly as ROB Camra described, including the workmen.

This pub is one room now, but obviously used to be three. It looks good from the outside, but the inside is a bit of a disappointment. The clientele on my Friday afternoon visit were a bunch of guys in overalls who were having a loud post work drink gathered around the bar and a number of punters watching Racing UK on the TV. There's no real ale and no reason for me to ever call in here again.
