Been coming here for years. Always a good spot to catch the game, and the beer selection never disappoints.

Been here for their afternoon tea a few times. Sandwiches are fresh, scones are warm. Service is always spot on. It&#39;s a decent option if you&#39;re in the area and fancy a cuppa.

Great spot in Shambles Square. The building itself has that proper old pub feel, which is nice. Had the fish and chips. Portion was huge, honestly couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good for the price you pay.

I loved the spacious design of the bar, both inside and outside. It creates a welcoming environment, and the beer garden is a lovely place to unwind, even when it gets busy.

Popped in for a quick bite and the bangers and mash hit the spot. Sausage had a proper snap to it, mash was light and creamy. Grabbed a Nicholsons pale ale and watched the match on the telly. Just what I needed.

Perfect spot for a quick bite. The burger and fries came out super fast. Staff were friendly and efficient. Just what I needed on a busy lunch break.

The Alchemist is a must-visit! The ambiance is lively, and the drinks are theatrical and fun, making it a great spot for a night out.

No. 10 of Bars in Manchester

Menu&#39;s got loads of interesting stuff, took me a minute to decide. Food came out quick, which is what I needed. Everything was cooked spot on. Good for a quick bite.

The outdoor play area is a real plus, very tidy and safe. It let us enjoy our meal without worrying, which is so nice. The staff were friendly and attentive too.

Came for lunch before Christmas, it was packed. Staff handled the rush pretty well, food came out hot. A decent meal overall, though it was a bit noisy.

The steak was cooked just right, tender and juicy. The peppercorn sauce had a nice kick to it, not too creamy. Portion was decent.

Came for a birthday meal. Really appreciated how they handled my request for a dairy-free option. The grilled salmon was so fresh, you could tell it was just prepared. The vegetables on the side were crisp and not overcooked. Made the whole meal feel light and satisfying.

The steak and ale pie was spot on - proper, flaky pastry and a rich, savoury filling. The scouse was just as good. Staff were friendly and quick, even on a busy Friday night. A solid meal.

Handy spot near Lime Street. Grabbed a fruity cider, served nice and cold with ice. Hit the spot. Prices are fair for the area, which is a plus.

Clare was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The pub food is of excellent quality and very reasonably priced.

Been here a few times. The gluten-free menu is a lifesaver for my partner. Food always comes out quick, and it&#39;s tasty. Nice to have a reliable spot nearby.

Lovely lunch and mini pud with coffee. Nice atmosphere complete with log fire adding to the cosy setting. Service from Lynn fabulous as ever.

Perfect spot to unwind after shopping. The steak &amp; ale pie was so filling, great for sharing with a friend.

Been coming here for years, steak&#39;s always reliable. Cooked just right, nice flavour. A bit pricier than it used to be, but you get what you pay for.

The portions here are really generous. I had the chicken curry and it was a proper, hearty meal. The price felt fair for what you get, nothing fancy but solid and satisfying.

The haddock and chips here are unreal. Crispy batter, flaky fish, proper chips. Mushy peas on point. Their tartar sauce and curry sauce really make it. Best I&#39;ve had, hands down.

Fish and chips meal deal. Fish was flaky, batter not greasy. Served hot and quick, perfect for a lunch break.

Tasha and Alex were so nice! They remembered we were celebrating a friend&#39;s new job and brought over a little extra dessert on the house. It was a sweet touch that made our night. The manager was also really friendly and checked in. Staff like that make you want to come back with friends.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always spot on. The bar staff remember my usual drink, and the servers are never in a rush. It&#39;s that kind of reliable, friendly vibe that keeps me coming back.

Love that they have vegan options! The spinach chickpea burger was a solid choice for our group. Nice to sit outside too.

Didn&#39;t eat, but the food smelled pretty good. A decent selection of beers. Brooke was great, very attentive and kept checking on everyone.

Came here after a long hike, absolutely knackered. The rump steak was spot on, really generous portion too. Staff were lovely, made us feel right at home.

Perfect for a quick catch-up. Tea was great, staff were very accommodating.

Booked a room for a birthday party. The staff handled everything smoothly, very professional. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. Atmosphere was just right for the occasion.
