Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Moon Under Water (JD Wetherspoon)
Doesn't look much from the street, with a relatively narrow frontage and just a few outside tables. However, once inside, you see a large bar with eight handpumps which extends back some distance. Nothing unusual in that, but once you realise that there is more than a few extra seats up the four steps and explore further you will find the larger back bar with another six handpumps in use. Again, that's not all, because if you look up you see a substantial balcony area which includes a third bar (with a further six handpumps available). Another notable feature is a rather grand full-height stained glass window at one end of the back bar. Considering that it is branded as a Lloyds No.1 bar, the beer selection is excellent with guest ales (e.g. Ninja Beer from Summerskills Brewery) well priced at £1.99. Overall, pretty impressive for a large chain establishment.

No problem with wheelchair access at this place it is massive everysense of the word. Not certain about access to the upper floor though.
Staff are on the ball and it is only when the place is packed out that standards start to drop, but it really does take one hell of a crowd to fill this place.Usual good range of beer and standard menu available.
Due to the accoustics of the place if you stand on the top floor and look over ,the the place sounds if it is filled with birdsong like the inside of an avairy.
At the end of the week the place fills up quickly with young ladies working upto Manchesters famous clubbing scene. Very nice to but at this time my Mrs drags me back to the hotel before hypertension sets in. Spoilsport.

This Witherspoons pub has the longest bar in the country I'm told. It's a pretty good meeting place. Used to be a cinema. Cheap beer and good food too.
