Tank & Paddle, Manchester

Strongers . left this review about Tank & Paddle

Now called the Tank & Paddle, it was very quiet during a recent Tuesday evening visit. The serving counter runs across the rear wall where premium and craft keg were available from a bored, but friendly barmaid. I went for half a Camden Hells which was a bit whiffy, which is shameful for such a large pub in the middle of tourist central – clean the bloody lines! The counter faces a long high banquette that backs onto booths that run across the front windows. Olympics and Cricket were airing on the televisions throughout, including a massive screen on the back bar. The upcoming Football Premier League season was also advertised. Stairs opposite the entrance lead up to a mezzanine with another bar counter, and seating that faces the aforementioned huge screen across a balcony that overlooks the downstairs counter. I imagine there’s a good atmosphere in here when the seats are full for an important game, but other than that it’s just a drinking barn with bad beer.
