The Old Nags Head, Manchester

Called in on the 17th of Jan 6 hand pulls on the bar had a pint of Tiger rut very good got talking to 3 guys that had just been on the train to Dews bury getting off at the stations with the old stile buffet bars with real ale had a good chat. Good bar for a quiet pint and people to talk to if you want will call back

Slightly hidden away up a side street just off Deansgate, this pub doesn’t get the Deansgate crawl lads and lassies in, which is a serious advantage. It’s a long thin pub with lots of old wood, cosy alcoves and old paintings all over the walls. There’s also a roof terrace which was being well used on Saturday when it was sunny. It has two handpumps but only one was being used, which is often the case in here, it was serving Old Speckled Hen. I had a pint of this which was pretty average. It’s a lovely old pub but the beer selection and quality always leaves something to be desired. It’s OK to call in for one.
