The Toll Point, Manchester

Toll Point is a large L-shaped Craft Union pub with a comfortable seating area in the left hand side and bar counter on the right wall that supports standard keg and Birra Moretti. Adjacent to the bar in the right rear is a dartboard and a pool table that had a small toddler sitting on it. Televisions found throughout were showing muted darts via Sky Sports and background music was playing. Unfortunately, even though I had sat as far away from the pool table as possible, I could here the toddler slamming pool balls onto the table time after time. If they were doing that in my local they’d have been slung into the road, but strangely they seemed to be friends of the barmaid. Strange place this, think it needs adult supervision.

Multi-area pub. The bar is to the far right as you enter and the interior is basically L-shaped. A pool table is to your left on entering. It seemed like a locals local and was very quiet on my midweek visit. No real ale.
