Station Hop, Manchester

Micro-pub and bottle shop in a narrow terraced unit, but additional seating can be found up a few steps beyond the compact bar. Bright, modern, canteen-style furniture, limited decoration apart from the display shelves at the front but rather disconcerting paintwork (and some interesting pictures) further back. Up to ten craft keg beers on tap, plus a couple of real ales on handpump: Fyne Ales Jarl (£4.00, and a bit disappointing) and Saltaire's Chocoholic.
