Dutch Birds Inn, Manchester

Steve C left this review about Dutch Birds Inn

The Dutch Birds Inn is an L-shaped pub with a central L-shaped bar counter that supports standard keg alongside Cruzcampo, much like many of its peers. As I entered on a recent Monday evening it was hear-a-pin-drop quiet as an intense league pool match was in progress on the pool table to the right. I made my way to the bar and whispered “half a lager” before the barman informed me that there was no need to whisper, and just then with almost comedy timing the jukebox started blasting out some 90s house music. It was lights out in the left rear, where there may be another pool table. I was more interested in the free chilli left-over from the pool match which the barman was trying to get rid of rather than throw away. It was very good, well better than the Fosters anyway. I sat in the front left corner where I had prime viewing of a rowing chav family who were sat on the banquettes along the front of the pub. They looked like the sort that walk to the shops in their dressing gowns and slippers whilst being followed by a gang of urchins. BT Sport is advertised, but the televisions were off. 8/10 for the free chilli and 2/10 for the pub, so I’ll give it a generous 4/10.
