Close to Deansgate rail and tram stations, this is a Greene King pub with a fairly traditional multi-roomed interior. It has only recently opened after a period of closure. The house beer is Greene King Deansgate, whilst their IPA is also on offer. The guest beer was Timothy Taylor Landlord. I opted for Level Head, also from Greene King, but a keg beer. Food seemed to be fairly popular here, with a fair few diners present. However, we still managed to find a table in a room at the rear. This is one I can now say I've ticked off. I doubt I'll return anytime soon though.

The Deansgate has a U-shaped island bar with high tables and a beer shelf at the front, banquettes up the left and seating up the right. At the rear is a separate seating area that looks more geared towards dining. No televisions, but there was background music. I counted four hand pumps that were drawing Greene King IPA and TT Landlord. One was unused and the fourth was clipped with Deansgate Manchester which I imagine is either just for show or a rebadged beer. Premium keg was also available, although most were off so maybe it had been a busy weekend. This place is OK for a city centre pub so close to a main station.
