The Nelson Inn, Manchester

The Nelson Inn is a small Craft Union pub with a bar counter on the rear wall to the right of the central entrance. It supports standard and premium keg alongside a handpump that was drawing Sharp’s Doom Bar. Banquette seating runs under the front windows both sides of the entrance and to the left is a dartboard. Three large televisions were showing muted Sky Sports football and Racing TV whilst some background music played. Karaoke is heavily advertised. The service was polite, but there’s not much to this pub.

Old School pub. Single room.... football on one TV and horse racing on the one at the other end. Clientele as you would expect from the entertainment on offer. Dont think there was any cask, so Staropramen it was.

A one roomed pub that looks to have had a refurb fairly recently. It's all painted in gentle pastel greens inside and there are 4 very large TV's, all showing racing on both ATR & Racing UK on my Friday, late afternoon visit. There's a dartboard and they were advertising a DJ on a couple of nights. I don't know where they fit it all in as it's not very big. Two handpumps on the bar but only Doom Bar actually on with a turned around Timothy Taylors Landlord clip on the other. As it was Doom Bar I only had a half, but it was in good condition and very cheap for Didsbury at £1.13. It's a decent enough pub, but the pedestrain beer range is a negative.

A traditional boozer. Basically one roomed though there is a distinction between the bar area on your right and the 'lounge' part to your left. 2 handpumps of which only one was on, Cumberland. Its alright I suppose.

The Nelson is set in a terrace and is close to the busy junction of wilmslow road and barlow moor road. I was a bit dissapointed when i noticed the Websters sign outside because i was not that struck on Websters beers. Once inside the pub was quite nice i had a drink in the room at the front which was a nice comfortable room to have a drink in,there may have been other rooms but i didi'nt look. There were two real ales on the bar and surprisingly one of these was Joseph Holts bitter which was a very nice drink the other beer was Websters Yorkshire bitter. I qute liked this pub and the beer was also very drinkable. Pub visited 4/4/1993
