Steve C left this review about The Schooner

The Schooner has patio furniture on the path out front, half of which is found under an awning. Inside is a bare board bar with high tables and a wooden serving counter on the rear wall, above which sits a screen that shows the available craft lagers and cask ales found on the four hand pumps. Bridgewater’ Blonde, Big Trip’s Chime, Brightside’s Grafters and Dunham’s Dark were available during my recent midweek evening visit. There are also a couple of tall fridges full of cans for those with brimming pockets. At the rear is a surprisingly large seating area and there was some background music playing, so whether this is a micropub is debatable. The service was polite and the Chime was on good form so I’d pop back in if passing.

Rob Hunter left this review about Prairie Schooner Taphouse

The Prairie Schooner Taphouse has an ever changing and interesting selection of real ales. The last time I went I even tried one of the keg options, which is not like me. The chalk board lists what is available and at what price. Usually quiet at lunch time in the week but pretty busy at weekends. We managed to jump on a table as a group left though, allowing us time to take in the impressive selection of bottles and cans on display. No issue with quality. One to visit when in Urmston!

Not strictly a micro pub as apart from the usual small room with a bottle bar, there's also a lounge area behind the bar with comfy seating. I sat at the bar and got talking to the friendly barman. 4 handpumps on the bar and both the pints I had here were in very good nick. They also have a large selecton of gins. I really liked it here and would definitely call in if in the area again.
