All Bar One, Trafford Centre, Manchester

This is a wide and thin All Bar One that was very dimly lit during a recent early midweek evening visit. Premium and craft keg is available from the bar counter that runs across the rear wall; I was served a decent pint of Guinness by the very polite barmaid. Most places have a gin or whisky menu, but this place has a nut menu, I didn’t partake. Most of the tables are high and there’s some seating on a mezzanine overlooking the bar. It’s an ABO in a shopping centre, so preferable to walking around Primark.

Could possibly on the site of some other bar that used to occupy it but now its an All Bar One place. As with all of these franchised bars this one is also rubbish. All glisteningly new and sterile. A large open plan load of toss.
