Quinno _ left this review about Abel Heywood
Hydes pub with a smacked-around L shaped interior and grubby-by-design baccy-stain painted walls. Some nice touches in the woodwork and tiling but ultimately it's a bit soulless sub-hipster (a 2014 opener, which explains why). Six cask with four Hydes on, my Hopster was a poor soapy brew but served very well (NBSS 3.5). GBG’23 listed – I can see why but I wouldn’t recommend it as an experience.

Corner pub, restaurant and hotel in Manchester's Northern Quarter. I was one of the first in on my Friday lunchtime visit. A few more arrived for food shortly after. You can either eat in the spacious ground floor bar or the upstairs restaurant.
Six handpulls can be found above the corner of the bar, but be wary of the signs on each. Two said they were getting ready in the cellar, one said it would be on next and another was cask ale of the week. All 6 were clipped, but only 3 were actually available. They were Hyde's Original & Dark Ruby and also Lum Swopper from Hyde's offshoot brewery Ralf & Alf.
The young barmaid seemed to be fairly new to the art of pouring beer, but was soon helped by another of the bar staff. I ended up with two halves, instead of the one I'd ordered and was then charged for a pint anyway, until I pointed out that the price seemed to be a bit steep by Manchester standards for a half and the error was rectified.
The Abel Heywood is in the current Good Beer Guide. But there's better pubs in Manchester city centre that don't feature in the Guide.

The Abel Heywood has a central L-shaped bar that faces open plan seating to the front and booths down the right that run to a narrow section with tables at the rear. A staircase leads to hotel rooms upstairs. This is a Hydes pub so the six hand pumps were drawing their Dark Ruby, Original and Lowry alongside Ralf + Alf Brewery’s Hopster Blonde, Pip Squeak and Ballad Monger, the latter coming soon. Standard and premium keg was also available, as was food with the burgers starting at £14. This is a decent pub with traditional décor so I wasn’t surprised to find it busy with an after work crowd on a recent Friday visit. Worth a look if passing.
