Jane Eyre, Manchester

I liked this place mainly due to the 6 handpumps on the bar. It is open plan with 2 areas, one facing the bar and one to the left side. Wooden floored throughout except for the raised tiled area at the bar. An old/replica(?) gramophone is in the front area. Outside is a pavement patio. Beers were from Thornbridge, Red Willow, Robinson's, Track, Moorhouse and whoever does a beer called Wingman. Quiet on my afternoon visit.

This is a small wooden floored corner shop conversion. It forms an L shape with the bar stuck right at the back. There is an old fashioned looking jukebox prominently placed. It was quiet on my Saturday lunchtime visit. The bar has six hand pumps which had Mobberley WhirlyBird, Beartown Black Bear, Happy Valley Small & Mighty and Redwillow Directionless, Sleepless & Smokeless. I went for the Sleepless which was served in a stupid dimple mug which I spotted too late to get changed. They charged a whopping £3.90 as well which to me is London prices but at least it was in good condition. Despite the GBG 2015 listing, I thought this place was expensive and uninspiring, but the three Redwillow beers are an attraction.
