ROB Camra left this review about Head of Steam

Now a branch of the Head of Steam chain. There are now 6 handpumps, all of which were badged on our Wednesday, late afternoon visit. We decided to eat here and I had some chicken wings which were OK, but not great value for the amount I got. I tried 2 of the beers which were both OK without being top notch. So, overall a bit of a mised bag, but at lease they now have cask ale.

Strongers . left this review about Cottonopolis

Cottonopolis is a long trendy bar and restaurant that was busy with a late twenties crowd during a recent midweek evening visit. The L-shaped bar on the right wall from the entrance supports a large range of premium keg, I didn’t spot any handpumps but that doesn’t mean they weren’t there. Half of the patrons were eating and the other half were drinking. This isn’t somewhere I’ll be visiting again.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Cottonopolis

Modern-style bar / restaurant - all dark furniture (mostly of the annoying tall variety), exposed brickwork, feature lighting and an open kitchen. The beer emphasis is on the Kruscovice tank beer and a variety of craft keg offerings, but a 'house' New World pale ale (£4.20) was available from one of the pair of handpumps.
