Quite simply, marvelously bonkers. I have no idea what their target demographic is, but it seems that all are welcome. Also not the sort of place you will stumble on by accident. Bravery required for the back streets of the NQ.
Friday at about 7pm, the only people in seemed to be friends of the young landlady. They had the music going and a bit of a party going but made me feel welcome, if not slightly out of place.
We then had a number of people coming in that I think may have been residents. The eyes of most of them seemed to be screaming "what they hell have we let ourselves in for".
Then groups of lads on a pub crawl. All quiet, one phones. With just the original girls partying.
I didnt notice any cask on - nor would I have risked it - but they did have Blue Moon on keg. Served in a Boddingtons glass.

Decided to call in here yesterday afternoon. It was pretty quiet to begin with, just a few regulars in, but then a large group entered which filled the place up.
Two hand pulls at the bar offering TT Landlord and Doom Bar. The Landlord was fine and £3.80 a pint.
Nice to have called back in as this was the first time I'd been in since 2013 and it has had a bit of a spruce up since including the toilets.
It's one of those Manchester pubs you have to go to, even if it is only the once.

Has had a bit of a refurbishment recently, but it hasn't really changed the pub. Now has 3 handpumps, 2 of which were in use, pulling TT Landlord & Robinsons Dizzy. The Landlord was in good nick.

Hidden down a back street just off Piccadilly Gardens this is a pub that isn't easy to find unless you know where to look. It's a tiny one roomed pub that is a proper workingmans local. On Friday evening about half the people in here were wearing flourescent jackets. It's a boisterous and friendly little place but definitely a bit cliquey (although the regulars would probably deny it). Only one handpump which was serving Hydes Original. The pint I had was OK but not top class, almost everyone else was drinking lager. I'll probably give it another try.
