23/07/24: Lilley's Pineapple cider again! 20/05/24: Lilley's Pineapple cider 4% 04/05/24: Lilley's Rhubarb cider 4% and Lilley's Pineapple cider 4% 05/07/23: first time here, in what I can only assume is the Liverpool Road younger brother. Even though it's bigger and better. Or should I say more modern and more spacious, with a view? Awesome choice of craft ale, Belgian beers, a cider or two and what better than a selection of pork pies! Dog friendly!

Excellent service. There was a gentleman in the outside area who was being fairly apprehensive and slinging around homophonic questions and remarks at which point the bar team promptly came and asked the gentleman to leave. Handled very well and much to our appreciation. Excellent venue and setting a great example! Big thanks 🙌🙌

A relatively new bar in this rapidly developing area. Been to the sister pub in Castlefields many times, this bar is larger and also has outside seats overlooking the canal basin. Boothroyd loved the range of real cask ales. He had a session bitter from Lunebrew. Excellent. Cashless bar. Industrial decor. Will return. Booth was surprised how busy the area is now.

I have been going to Cask in Ancoats since it opened in late 2018. I remember when it first opened it certainly wasn't as busy as it is now - most evenings it is packed now. The place specialises in offering a fair selection of imported European beers including Duval, Delerium, Krombacher and will usually have a Trappist beer on offer if you believe brewing Belgian monks do it better. A welcoming place away from chain pubs + beers and bars with colourful yet often underwhelming "craft beer". Service is usually very quick and staff are attentive to any queues forming behind the bar (which unfortunately is not always the case in bar/pubs) so you're not waiting too long and can also try some of the beers if you are undecided. The interior is simple, nothing extravagant but it works. There is a selection of board games and a dart board - although this is well used so not guaranteed to be available. Cask does not offer food but they do coffee for £2.75 which I definitely recommend during lunchtime over some of the other coffee and generic places in Ancoats which are usually more expensive and busier.

PRICEY. I did apologize to the guy whose round it was! He joked that he thought the price was the alcohol percentage. We used it as a last pre-match stop, walking from town to the Etihad. Belgian beer galore (which is to my taste) but lots of other choices too. 'Cask' is deffo the right name for this place! This time I had a raspberry beer (£6-odd for 2/3 of a pint). It was delicious till right near the end... when it reminded me a bit too much of (really indulgent) jam on toast. For one or two beers, I would deffo try and drag my.. co-supporters in here again.

Probably the best range of beers in Manchester, friendly service and you can get a pint of real ale for under £4 a 2 minute walk from NQ... What's not to like? 2022 update: As expected prices have risen a little since the start of the pandemic (~10%) but the range is still top and the knowledgeable and friendly service is hard to beat. 2023 update: Still the best beer range and staff in the area. Plus they have pork pies 🙌

As perfect as ever. Always rely on Cask for a truly quality beer. A beer that has been brewed with passion, not profit. Cask serves some of the best beers of Europe in Manchester, and includes Krombacher, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr and more, as well as very high quality Martin Audio sound system. It doesn’t go unrecognised! Toilets are a good size and clean. The service is always very welcoming, as well as the bar location being in a perfect spot for sun lovers! I totally recommend Cask as a pub I’d drink at over at Tom’s Beer Bible on Instagram. Also serves stout for darker beer lovers.

Disappointing you don’t allow families inside. We like coming here but attempted to visit today but found we’re now excluded from coming in because we have a 5 week old baby (unlike noisy barking dogs which are somehow seen as acceptable). Lots of bars allow children in until 7 or 8pm, and then they become adult drinking spaces- what you’re doing excludes families and especially women since they are still mostly the primary care givers. Ended up going to Port Street Beer House instead.

I stayed here from Sunday through to Tuesday. It did not rain. I did not hear or see an emergency vehicle. There was a fair bit of banter. I found this hotel's staff brilliantly individuals who work together to give great service when the curtain goes up. Photographs of my room show a clean well thought through offer, outstanding bed and bathroom linen. I love the modern take on the doormans chair , a sort of arm chair with a hood. I have seen a similar one near Exeter at chef Michael Caines manor house hotel. They originated from a Scottish design , I think. Plenty of marble and marble effect in the bathrooms. My room only had a shower, a very effective one too. I am too old to skid about in a bath. I thouroghly enjoyed a cooked breakfast here and Sunday lunch. I can find minor faults in certain aspects, but overall I really enjoyed my stay. It's in a great part of the city, great shopping and many very good places to eat and drink. I also went to Browns bistro round the corner, and to Moose cafe also nearby on York street. Manchester is untouristy on Monday and less so Tuesday. Museums are shut , the hop on hop off buses don't run. There are a few exceptions, the Central Library is open, Science and industry museum is open , though with a limited offer at the moment. On Mondays they both resemble creches with many running riot and having fun. It's a lovely diverse city, and has very much to offer. There are two free city bus routes. 1 and 2. Linking railway stations and the best parts of the city for a visitor And they run 7 days a week. The concierge at the hotel are fun, know their stuff , but perhaps not brilliant at imparting what you need to know. But jolly and kind and helpful. They will have to work on mind reading. I appreciated Nigel's help he is on the apprenticeship scheme. To me this is a perfect boutique hotel, small, private, genuine, authentic quality, with some brilliant dashes and sprinkles of passion and magic. I ate well , slept well, drank well and repeated that over 3 days.

Best Chinese around! Some things better than others, salt and pepper chicken is the best! Lovely family business, friendly staff and quick service. We don't live in the area anymore but we still drive nearly a 10mile round trip to come here as no other Chinese/Cantonese places compare. Highly recommend the s+p chicken, s+p ribs, seaweed, egg fried rice, soft noodles.
