The Prince Of Wales, Manchester

The Prince of Wales is a U-shaped pub with a central U-shaped bar stool lined serving counter where a late Tuesday afternoon local crowd had assembled. Standard keg and Madri were available from the friendly woman on duty, but the two hand pumps were unused. Seating is found under the windows both sides of the front entrance, and in the right rear corner is more seating next to the exit to a small side beer garden. Some DJ equipment sat around this door ready for the weekend. There’s a pool table in the left rear and televisions are found throughout, BBC News being the channel of choice during my visit. There were a couple of raised eyebrows when the aging locals heard my West London drawl, but they soon went back to their swearing and putting the world right. I didn’t see anything during my visit that would entice me back.

The Prince of Wales is a pretty normal pub. When i visited this pub it had a couple of rooms and i had a drink in the bar which was a decent enough room,the pub was a Whitbread tied house and there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Chesters bitter and this was a decent drink the other beer was Whitbread Trophy.
