The Cabinet, Manchester

This is a very unusual place. It has a small frontage and when you enter you walk into a small bar with mainly dining tables and chairs. What you wouldn't expect is when you walk through the door opening to the right of the bar is a further room that looks like it's available for private hire and then a huge room with another bar and an open kitchen. It's so much bigger that you would ever expect. There are 3 autonomans in the place as well. Two over the small bar and another one between the rooms. Sadly there's no real ale, so I had a half of something on keg and had a chat to the friendly barmaid. Shame about the lack of ale, but I really quite liked it in here.
