Crown & Anchor, Manchester

Traditional looking corner pub, the L shaped interior has been opened out and modernised a little, not to the pubs benefit in my opinion. The pub seems to lean toward the cheap pub grub side of things, and the beers are also a bit on the pedestrian side, four beers on from five handles,these were Doom Bar,Moorhouse White Witch, Landlord and Robinsons Trooper. Its pretty average stuff and I would likely bypass this if I happened to be in the area again.

A brilliant looking Victorian corner pub the exterior of which is dominated by its red glazed tiling. It has a few outside seats. The interior has been smashed up a lot and is simply an L-shaped room around the bar with a second area that has a pool table at least. Brick and a black sponge effect is the main decor, with a wood floor. A few pictures add interest. They do food. TVs on, silently and soft music played. Service was fine and a couple of people were in. Only two of several pumps were in action, with Doombar and an OK Tim Taylor Landlord. OK for a swifty.
