The Unicorn, Manchester

At a time when trendy wine bar style things are omnipresent a good traditional boozer is a godsend and in this area of Manc Central its very welcome indeed.

A multi roomed pub wth a very large island bar which means it can be difficult to move around the pub at busy times. There's a narrow bar area and lounge plus a larger lounge to the right. There's also a small rear room where there's a TV. There's a function room upstairs which I didn't visit. This pub gets pretty busy at lunchtimes and early evening with a bunch of friendly, more mature locals. I've been in here at 10 at night and it's been very quiet though. Several handpumps, but only 2 on during my visit Draught Bass & Copper Dragon Golden Pippin. The draught Bass is always good in here. A Manchester institution.

A traditional local populated by traditional locals. The island bar seems to take up more space than the public space, so it's a bit of a squeeze moving around but you can usually find a spot. Friendly and efficient service despite the crowds and nice Copper Dragon beers. Worth seeking out

Called in on 23rd of Feb a fine old pub call in every time when in the city one girl has been there years its getting tiered but still good atmosphere its one of those fun places hit and miss it can be busy one day and quiet the next worth a visit
