The Old Nags Head, Manchester

Slightly hidden away up a side street just off Deansgate, this pub doesn’t get the Deansgate crawl lads and lassies in, which is a serious advantage. It’s a long thin pub with lots of old wood, cosy alcoves and old paintings all over the walls. There’s also a roof terrace which was being well used on Saturday when it was sunny. It has two handpumps but only one was being used, which is often the case in here, it was serving Old Speckled Hen. I had a pint of this which was pretty average. It’s a lovely old pub but the beer selection and quality always leaves something to be desired. It’s OK to call in for one.
