The Lower Turks Head, Manchester

The Lower Turks Head is an 18th century Holts pub with split level seating to the right and left that is served by a central bar on both levels. There are some tables in the front windows, but the main seating is at the rear. Opposite the bar on the left wall is some interesting pew seating with little beer shelves. These were unused, but I bet they were te place to be back in the day! Upstairs is another seating area and there is an advertised roof terrace that I didn’t visit. There are also four en-suite bedrooms upstairs. There are televisions for showing live football and some very low background music was playing during a recent midweek evening visit. During my visit I remained in the left hand bar as the lower right had its light off and was unused. The six hand pumps were drawing Bitter, Two Hoots, IPA and Fools Gold. As I approached the pub the original tiled exterior had me hoping that this would be a decent pub, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Still searching for a city centre pub with a beer garden/terrace. This has one, but to get to it, you need to fight your way through the kareoke and dancing. At tea time. Upstairs bar - Timothy Taylor Landlord an unexpected find in such a place. Terrace bar was super but of course packed.
