The Jolly Nailor, Manchester

The Jolly Nailor has a room in the left front that has seating around the walls that face in to a central pool table. This room is served by a small section of the bar counter that continues into the main bar area to the right. In here banquette seating runs under the right hand windows opposite the counter that support standard keg alongside Madri and three hand pumps that were drawing Wainwright, Moorhouse’s White Witch and Wychwood’s Hobgoblin Gold. There are a couple of gaming machines against the rear wall that are separated by a fridge full of craft beer cans. In the rear of the pub is a wooden floored area with seating up the left and right walls to a stage area on the rear wall. Live music is held here on Fridays and a disco on Saturdays. My visit was midweek so the stage stood empty, that is apart from a dartboard. I didn’t see anything here that would have me rushing back.

Not too bad a pub and much better than its neighbour over the road. 3 roomed with a small room to your left on entering, the bar are as you enter and a room to the rear that looks like its set up for live music. 7 handpumps on the bar but sadly only 4 on on this Saturday afternoon (Rat White Rat, Wainwright's, Ossett Silver King and a Welsh cider). Its a pub that's worth a visit and was very quiet this afternoon.
