Head of Steam, Manchester

Converted from an old tailors this is a fairly new opening in the N/4. It specialises in Krusovice Czech lager from a tank above the bar and small Asian themed dishes cooked in an open kitchen at the rear right. Lots of industrial looking pipes and beams in the current trendy style along with a wooden floor. It was busy and quite atmospheric on my Friday evening visit. I decided to have a pint of Krusovice which was a rather steep £4.80. It's one for the late twenties and early thirties crowd, but the food did look and smell very good, so I may bring the other half in at some point.
