ROB Camra left this review about Jack in the Box @ The Picturedrome
A smaller verion of Mackie Mayor in Manchester, complete with a Jack in the Box bar with beers from Blackjack brewery. It's quite a pleasant space inside, but much too warm, so we got our beers and went to sit outside in the beer yard. The beers were pretty reasonably priced for around here, but the food was very expensive, although it looked and smelt good. May call in again on a sunny day.

Quinno _ left this review about Jack in the Box @ The Picturedrome
A Blackjack bar in an overpriced hipster eatery like its sister in Manchester. I say ‘bar’ but it's basically a hole in a wall with a few rickety stools opposite. A range of their cask, I went for the Best, a pretty bog-standard malty ale which was a tad over-vented (NBSS 2.5). Spent the rest of my stay gasping at how much the moneyed locals were willing to spend on basic food to eat in a pretty soulless canteen environment. Do it once I suppose but I wouldn't countenance a revisit. GBG23 listed.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Jack in the Box @ Picturedrome
Blackjack Brewery bar in the converted Picturedrome cinema, now a food hall. Very busy on a Saturday evening, so it was pot luck with finding a table (but I found one to share as I was looking to eat from one of the seven kitchens). Beer-wise, I found four of their beers (including the New World Summer Bitter, £4.00), plus a guest cake ale and a cider on handpump and ten craft offerings from the keg taps.
