The Knott, Manchester

I'm glad to report this place is still excellent. There was a beer festival on during our weekend visit, and it was drunk dry by thirsty rugby league fans. Excellent location right on Deansgate, I particularly enjoyed getting stuck into Veltins. Top drawer.

Great place,with a smart bar feel but not poncey and great selection of real ale,always featuring a good number of the Marble Brewery ales and some interesting guests from other local micros.Having spent lunchtime quaffing in the Marble Arch ,we carried on here on the Ginger Marble and Coach and Horses from Millstone,which were top notch.Lively atmosphere,efficient young bar staff and a mixed age group clientele this is a great place to get boozing.Can get very busy if a concert finishes in the nearby arena.

Great choice of real ales, continental beers on draught and bottled. Good quality food. Mixture of different tables, chairs, sofas etc under brick railway arches. Covered balcony for outside drinking. Good atmosphere and efficient,friendly staff.

Not much more to say about this pub which is built under the railway arches, only that it has a balcony which is heated. The menu is very good and is availiable until 8pm. The pub is also across the road from G-Mex Metrolink tram station. It is great pub to chat and with an excellent choice of real ale or try one or two of the bottle beers, while the trains rumble by overhead.
