Lower Turks Head in Manchester

Absolutely TARDIS of a pub.......feels so comfy, with tradition all around it within

Beautiful pub. So unusual, with the little tables and booths. Nice staff and clientele. Definitely going back.

Lovely traditional Manchester pub. Good selection of Holts beers.

Proper boozer, not a hotel from what I saw full of couples of a certain age, oh yes my age tonight. Massive choice of beer, not a Holts', we all had something different and everyone happy. My partner couldn't get an espresso so had a Trailblazer stout and she wasn't disappointed. Next time I want to sit in the beer pews and women's toilets have double cubicles. Music was a bit too 90s brit pop, the place didn't need music.

First time I've been here. Really enjoyed it, very busy good beer . If I'm that way again will definitely visit

Great little place on a stag doo tour,chatted with the locals, bar staff charged my phone for me , enjoyed the visit

Great pub. Sometimes the DJs are on and too loud for me.

A traditional British pub in Manchester's northern quarter. The decor in old glazed tiles and gets a selection of tourists and locals in. A good selection of drinks on offer, something to suit all tastes.

Great evening with the „open mic“. Very nice People!

Nice pub, Trailblazer stout is a standout...it keeps me returning!

Wonderful traditional Holts pub. Recommended

Great pub with a good selection of ales and lagers.

Brilliant old fashioned pub, friendly service, well kept beers, good choice

Lovely little inn where we stayed in the hotel attached upstairs, room was small but clean and tidy and had all of the essentials with a separate entrance from the bar. Staff were very welcoming and helpful with any questions we had and the location is great to reach the city centre and transport links. Bar and pub had a great atmosphere too and reasonably priced.

Nice pub decent price for Manchester

Wonderful little pub, just right while waiting for my bus! Will be coming back if I'm near Shudehill again

Great pub with full range of Joseph Holt ales. The IPA was 👌🏼

To be honest I had virtually given up on Joseph Holt's bitter as being a pale shadow of it's old self but this was the best point I've had in ages. Typical lively friendly Manchester boozer.

Decent pub. Decent pint. Decent staff

Nice bar and fine rooms. Very welcoming staff , just a proper place . Can highly recommend 👍

Great pub 👌 don't walk past go in and enjoy cheers 👍

REVIEW OF THE HOTEL: The fire alarm went off at 5am- nobody came or was reachable by the phone! We had to call the fire department by our selves, when the drunk landlady came (after the fire fighters woke her up cause the fire alarm did not do the job) she was rude and yelled at one of the guests. Then the fire alarm went off again at 8:20,8,30, and 9. I barely slept. Plus don’t forget it’s above a pub so it’s extremely noisy and it smells like piss downstairs!!!! Of course no refund was offered! When we asked we were asked if we would rather go somewhere else (at 5:45 am after freezing outside!!) And forget about early check in!!!! No one is there cz it is a PUB!!

Very tasty beer. Very cool shop We went in here rightly and stayed for a very long time

Staff amazing. Such a lovely place to enjoy a drink and chat

It's nice staff were friendly but it's expensive so won't be going there regularly

A relaxing pub with a good atmosphere and nice staff. Enjoyed a few pints of pale ale. They have a television showing live sports. A good place to call in for a few drinks if passing.

Stopped for a couple of drinks with friends - lovely Christmas atmosphere ❤️

Great traditional façade of glazed tiles, interior is less authentic but still nice. Sadly it's a Holt's pub so nothing worth venturing in for.

Well stocked friendly mid town pub.

I didn't eat here but otherwise this is one of the best pubs in Manchester City Centre. Amongst all the grey misery outside and run down businesses and store fronts and litter, this is a gem and when you step indoors it's like a whole other world. Great beers and ales, cool seating and plenty of it and everyone is friendly, even the patrons.

I'd imagine the old cook Geordie might be gone but he treated the Illinois high school Select side to wonderful roast dinners upstairs the couple of times we booked. Excellent location and near youth hostels.

Nice local bar. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff.

A Holts house, Nice bar area a bit outdated in the furnishings and decor.

Son moved in to apartment close by. Been in this pub a couple of times when visiting. Love the atmosphere and the vibe

Lovely old pub modernised but respects the past

From the outside it doesn't look great but it's a lovely old Manchester bar.

Great couple of hours, great music, atmosphere and lovely landlady. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely pub to visit and have a pint or any beer that you're searching for. As a B&B, it was a fantastic experience to live the genuine Manchester. Enjoyed so much the atmosphere once Man United played Champions League, unforgettable.

Stayed at the hotel above this place, honestly it was shocking. We were left waiting ages to check in (very bizarre that we had to wait at the bar in a full pub to do this) ignored multiple times by the bartender. Finally he told us that someone else would come to sort it, this was about another 10 minutes. The guy who checked us in was nice enough, but we were already stressed and tired at this point. The room was very basic considering the price per night, and there is very loud traffic from below at all times. Would not recommend.

Nice chilled atmosphere, friendly bar staff and good ale.Good boozer.

Great traditional pub with good range of reasonably priced beers. Generally older people in it which suits me as I'm one of them.

Very atmospheric old pub. Friendly service.

Only went for a drink. A bit basic but very acceptable for a quick drink if you're in the area.

Decent little pub in the centre of town.

Looked dubious from outside but really old and quirky inside. Very friendly & helpful staff. We asked about food & they said we could get a takeaway & eat it in the pub - 9 of us got a kebab from the Turkish takeaway 2 doors down & ate it in the pub. Reasonably priced drinks. £15 for a bottle of decent house white - so would go back x

Was introduced by a friend, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Went back with my husband for one of the Northern Soul Wednesday's. Took another friend on a Saturday afternoon, she loved it too. Hoping to go to one of the Northern Soul Sundays.

Didn't see any food service pleasant atmosphere grand

I love these old Manchester pubs with the tiles on the outer walls, Don't be fooled by the outside, it only looks a small pub but there's plenty of space inside over 2 floors AND THERES A BEER GARDEN UPSTAIRS. A good Holts' pub surving the regular beers Crystal, Diamind and also Bootleg IPA, Trailblaser Stout and a Citrus Holts lagar as well. The staff were happy for me to try them and let me have a look around this great pub. Also it's just opposite the Hanging Ditch Metro stop so not far to walk.

Had a pint or two here, cozy little pub nice to chill and chat

A big little pub with great atmosphere, attentive employies and sports on telly if you like.

Beer a bit pricey but it's a city centre pub. Not much variety of beer and larger. Don't think they do any food except nuts and crisp.

amazing place to go 😍 great atmosphere and great beers 🍻

We didn't have good. Great pub, quirky and quaint. Good beer, good atmosphere, love it .

Great pint in a very welcoming pub.

Excellent. No mobile phones allowed - marvellous! Peace and quiet.

Great unpretentious pub, with some excellent beers and good music.

Good couple of drinks at a quiet time. Staff were friendly and helpful, and I can imagine the atmosphere is great when it gets busy.

Fab old fashioned pub we found on our last day popped in for one but stayed for a few hours. Beer was excellent, lovely old quaint pub great atmosphere and friendly people. Special thanks to Joe and Jess perfect hosts who made us feel very welcome, great bar serving duo a credit to a manchester iconic pub.

A traditional old pub done up sympathetically in keeping with it's style and age. Much nicer inside that it looks from the outside. Larger than you initially think as they've knocked through to next door. I particularly like the pew seating opposite the bar and the story in the ladies loo telling you that it once was a barbers and that you're stood on the original floor. Excellent friendly service but it was quiet.

A brilliant restoration of a classic Manchester boozer

Absolutely disgrace, I'm a disabled person who was refused a pint because the person in charge decided I had to much to drink. I told her I had 4 pints all day but was refused being served a pint of bitter. I was told that I stumbled into the pub, this being the reason for not being served by. I then pointed out to the lady in charge of the bar that my right leg was 2" sorter than my left leg and that I had a problem walking. I was told because I was disabled that if iwas served with an pint and fell the pub would be responsible. So it seems to me that if you are disabled you are still being victimised. After leaving the Turks had I had 3 pints of Blonde bitter. When ordering the 3rd pint I asked the gent serving me if I was drunk. He told me that he knew that I had a few pints but no were near drunk.

Landlady made me amd the family very welcome. A great atmosphere in there also

Great little place, didn't get food there but it was friendly and good music , would recommend a visit

Fantastic pub. Friendly staff and a good pint of local ale

Wednesday Club with lots of soul music.

Is a proper Holts pub now and therefore the ale selection is severely lacking

Came for the man city parade. Had drinks . Watched the parade and called back in on our way home . Proper vault pub . Good service . Clean and safe environment. We would come back again

Cosy historical pub serving superbly kept Joseph Holt beers. Fascinating multi roomed interior including a roof terrace. Warm and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff a good drop of Holts Bitter and a great place to people watch.

An institution, whilst ever Manchester exist, so should the Turks head. Holt's just made perfect better.

Nice quirky pub with unique seating (not going to give the game away go have a look). Nice selection of beers.

A nice place to stop for a pint

Lovely place to have a pint or few. Minus they do not serve food, but are OK if you bring your own takeaway from place around. Their own brewery beers were delicious.. definitely will visit if need wait for bus again next time

Absolutely love this pub, I honestly believe this place is friendly and welcoming, the staff are amazing and welcoming too, I'm from Newcastle and this place has been super friendly to us :)

Lovely holts pub and hotel near shudehill bus station 2 large rooms downstairs and 1 upstairs timber floors old photo's and TV 's 📺 for sports,full range of holts beers and lager very comfortable place for drinking 🍸 😀

Nice but it's lees pub so I had cider pub lovely though

Love this pub and the atmosphere plus the open beer garden at the top is class..

A real pub, friendly staff,good beers,

Enjoyed quiet drink with family, Reasonably good prices for beer and vodka. Nice atmosphere, clean and friendly.

Plenty of TV screens for sport.. Staff friendly a couple of them are not the sharpest tool in the shed so you might have to make sure theyve got your order right.. A lovely old fashioned boozer with good priced rooms

Decent pub with lots of space and a good selection of drinks. We found a table quickly despite it being quite busy on a Friday evening. Roof was leaking quite badly.

Top welcoming landlady brilliant place and atmosphere

There used to be two pubs on Shudehill called The Turks Head so one was called the Lower and the other the Higher. The later was long since demolished. The Lower Turks Head was closed for a good while but reopened a few years back after a good refurb. Martin Meerkat's first visit but I have visited many times for a delicious pint of Joe Holt's. They also served Chorlton's Bootleg on this visit. Two good sized rooms downstairs with another room upstairs. Great location opposite Shudehill transport interchange and three minutes walk from Victoria. Have eaten here in the past. Good pub.

Great pub, Good pint of Holts. Worth a walk to get to from the bustle of town and the Yates' and O'Neil's vibe.

Cracking Wednesday afternoon Northern soul 2-8

It's okay. Nice enough inside. There's a balcony upstairs. Bit pricey but where isn't in Manchester these days.

Beautiful bathroom tiles, such a nice vibe, really good selection of beers, really friendly staff!

Great pub for cosy drink and watching sport, little expensive considering its a brewery pub!

Whichever way one considers to be the start or finish of the Northern Quarter, the Lower Turks Head is a welcome calling point either way. It has the feel of a local pub and is always friendly.

Relaxed,atmosphere, friendly service and good beer

When I've visited, it's always been a lively and friendly atmosphere. We'll kept old fashioned pub who know how to keep the Ales good.

Lovely quirky pub right in the city centre.

Out side for smoking and cool bitter

Class pub grateful mix of young and old with respect to match, open mike night last night show casing young Manc talent well worth a visit, outstanding staff and owners who are there to meet, great and socialise with could not recommend more highly. A fantastic peice of Manchester not to be passed up on, the hotel rooms are second to none also, give it go what's not to like.

Stopped in here for a quick drink, as our son drinks here and works in another Holt pub. It was busy and friendly and great layout for watching sport. Good pub.

Great pub, great people, had an absolute blast & a great place to stay, proper Manchester pub!

Lovely welcome from staff, relaxed and good choice of drinks, all credit to to staff.

Good accommodation and decent pub in excellent location. Staff helpfull.

Great Holt's pub selling excellent Holt's ales and lagers and bottled Holt's beers. Ground floor and first floor with a sun trap on the first floor.

I stayed here overnight and was pleasantly surprised with the room. It was very suitable for an overnight stay when out during the day. I can't fault it and would stay again. Friendly service, clean room, quiet (even though above a pub), comfortable mattress. I had the best night's sleep I had in weeks!!
