City Road Inn, Manchester

This could be a really good pub, but sadly at the moment it isn't. As you enter there's a pool table on a raised area to the right. The bar is straight ahead. There's an interesting gantry with loads of bits & bobs. There are leather sofa's and some dining style tables and chairs. There's also a dartboard, but it's difficult to see how you could use it without some removal men being involved. There are 3 handpumps on the bar, but only Black Sheep bitter was available. My pint was in decent condition to be fair. The 2 barmaids were much more interested in talking to a couple of regulars rather than serving a stranger though. Spend a few quid on a spruce up, give it a good clean and add an interesting beer or two and it will be streets better.

Called in on the 23rd of Jan it was 4pm the lad behind the bar said we were the first of the day been open since 11am no hand pulls so had a pint of Carling tasted very yeasty did not drink it all. The young lad said it got very busy on a week end with a late licence till 4am will give that a miss
