Orion in Manchester

Good, cheap pints. A student pub with a nice atmosphere every day of the week

Shady boozer with a dodgy landlady let's you smoke what you want not happy place keep out

I'm by no means a regular but the beer is well kept and the staff are unfailingly pleasant and welcoming

Proper old mans pub but love the pub

Classic bar, cheap, great place

Cheap beer,rare sight in Manchester nowadays. Great staff

Super friendly staff at this traditional pub, made for a very pleasant afternoon on my first visit to Withington with friends. It has no car park but has a large covered seating area outside.

Paulicarus loves this Joe Holts pub...and I love Joe Holts bitter. Back in the 1970's it was a " non student " bar so only came a few times in my youth. Obviously had a lot of upgrades in 45 years. A large welcoming lounge, a small rear games room snd a surprisingly large patio. A perfect little pub for me and Paulicarus. TV's for sport not too obtrusive...but Arsenal on..not Utd or City. Lovely staff.

The Orion was local back in 1965/68 Always like the place especially when Fred Urmston was the Landlord...

Nice bar , good back ground music , good service .

The staff are fantastic, Ben is lovely and the drinks are reasonably priced!

Great atmosphere and wonderful bar staff .

Cheap drinks and board games, can't complain.

Great traditional pub. It's a J. Holt pub so serves good pints at a good price. Shows most sports and has a good smoking area with an outdoor big screen. Also a dartboard if you're into that. Best boozer in Withington

Just called in for an afternoon pint, was a nice pub,friendly and beer was on form

No frills just a pub, good if you like sports.

Nice tucked away traditional pub on edge of Withington village, pretty cheap for spirits and an interesting selection of beers. Usually very busy with student but there is often a good mix of locals too. Very big outside seating area with a bar if the main one is rammed.

Lovely local pub with great customer service 👍

Small bt gud laugh darts etc cheap drinks aswell

Good pub with good drinks, can’t recommend enough!

Cosy vibe and friendly staff. We went here for the England game and so was obviously very busy, low ceilings and close atmosphere gave a buzzing feel to the place. Good pints, reasonably priced. Only down side is the lack of HD on some of the TVs. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing.

Friendly staff, always happy to help! Cheap pints! Good vibes!

Nice drink with my girlfriend very enjoyable.

The orion was very pleasant and cheap lovely pub

Decent reasonably priced pub, mix of locals and students, doesn't feel intimidating or unwelcoming at all.

An oft-underrated traditional English pub - has a friendly and welcoming vibe, wide range of drinks and the staff are friendly, especially the blonde lady who served me last week. Drinkers are a nice combination of locals and sensible students. Great beer garden too! 🍻🍻🍻

Good pub, good prices and nice people

Very nice friendly staff, good atmosphere very diverse 👌

Great local brilliant beers at fantastic prices

Great experience for students. Incredibly cheap but good beer and a great atmosphere.

Decent cheap local pub. Plenty of students and locals.

Wonderful pub. Good mix of people which gives the place a buzz. Brilliant that you can get a pint of crystal for £2.70, possibly the cheapest pint in Withy?

Great pub with a local feel - good for watching sports!

Chilled atmosphere, plenty of students..

I liked this place. Enough place for a lot very nice people. And cheap larger.

Crackin prices, atmosphere and staff xxx

Packed student pub - good prices, good pints. 👍

Great student drop in, Great atmosphere

The holts beer was forgettable thanks

Great little pub in the heart of withington, love the beer garden and very good prices.

Used to be best pub in withington as a customer a hello from landlady and bar staff sometimes goes a long way great little boozer nice when sun is out on beer garden lots of characters cheap beer we'll worth a visit

Great pub great atmosphere and service would 100% recommend

Ben was the most efficient and charming bar man I have ever experienced. Best pub in Manchester

Small friendly local pub. Nice outside area.

Highly disappointed. Upon our arrival, I was wearing an appropriate face covering. (One which I sell from my own business). The chap on the door stopped myself and asked if I had a face mask. To my dismay, I replied that this is a sufficient face covering and is fine according to the government guidelines. He proceeded to state that a face mask is needed. I'm quite surprised, given the current circumstances that staff aren't up to date with the rules. Im all for supporting fellow local business, however I will not be supporting this local again unfortunately.

Slightly out of the way, popular with the students and locals alike. Drinks are REALLY cheap considering where it's located. Pints for under £3 that's even without any discount! Live sports and a beer garden if Manchester weather ever gives a bit if sun.

The orion is a good pub great conversation and a good game of cards.cheers lads.

Good price beer. But no tea or coffee.

Cheap beer/drinks and great friendly staff. They have kareoke on some nights, recommend this pub.

Cheap cheap cheap cheap! And full of students

Great place to have diamond.....

CHEAP BEER FRIENDLY STAFF QUICK SERVICE BECOMING A REGULAR THE ALL READY REGULARS ARE PLEASANT COMPANY TO BE AROUND. TV SHOULDN'T BE ALL ONE CHANNEL FOOTBALL RACING & RUGBY SHOULD BE ON EACH TV AT THE SAME TIME. STAFF SHOULD HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE REMOTE CONTROLS AND NOT THE CUSTOMER'S

It's a local pub in the heart of students young and old alike shops close by buses easy to get to around the area Cheap drinks

Great night Friday karaoke lots of good singers check it out

A fabulous pub staff are all.very polite and a great pint at a good price

Could be nice bar staff friendly and welcoming. Found it a bit dodgy out in the beer garden though.

Locals Manchester Holt's public House. Called in on a very hot afternoon, hoping to try new ipa. Only one cask on being Holt's bitter which was very poor quality. Busy with locals who seemed to be mainly drinking lager (I can see why!)

Was a den of cloudy characters over the years but has picked it's self up over the last couple of years and no too bad these days. Good value.

Brief visit which was ok smoking area had heat lamps nice and cosy but to small for the amount of people wanting to sit outside only few benches with tables at the side of the pub,great pub to have one drink and move on.

Very good and the landlady is plesent as well

It is what it is, a traditional back street boozer catering for the locals, the beer is excellent and the regulars are friendly.

Holt's smooth on tap. Nice one.

Nice local pub with good prices

Very nice pub, went in with my friends lots of of us some from Ireland first time in myself it was the first time in 30 years well done the lady who served us pub was very clean too.

Cheap as chips and chips are great.

Banging tunes, cheap booze, stale poos

Really really friendly pub a good mixture of people and nice surroundings. And the barmaids and landlady I think her name is Donna the best run pub in Withington God keep the folk and pub truly blessed. Defo 5*.

Friendly atmosphere, cheap pints, great pub quiz each Tuesday.

Best pub in Manchester; top staff, top people, UNITED TID

Cheap and cheerful local boozer Don’t expect much and you’ll have an absolute belter

You honestly won't believe how cheap a round is. My dad ordered 2 pints of Guinness and thought they'd only charged him for 1. Always some characters in as well. Top pub.

It is we're everyone knows each other and Avery warming place the landlady makes sure everyone is fine and if you have one too many she will make sure you get home safe and sound

I have been drinking in here for more than 20 yes the beer is great and the atmosphere is even better

Nice place friendly staff and customers

Excellent pub, cheap drinks, friendly bar staff and clientele, shows all sports all you need to do is ask! Got a beer garden, what more could you want? Karaoke on a Friday and quiz night on a Tuesday. Give it a go!

Traditional old school pub a bit special

It's never short of entertainment. And the cost of the drinks is very reasonable 👌

Very nice people. Chilled out place

Okay pub for a few cheap drinks

Brill night as per gotta love a karaoke Friday night

Switched the scotch for cheap shite and charged full price. Fireball for the price of jura

Possibly the best pub in manchester

The landlady has a cracking arse

£1.99 a pint really cannot be sniffed at. Pub was dilapidated though, could do with some TLC

Great ales and a cosy environment

This is a long old favorite pub of mine...Always good beer, great staff and also good banter...shows all sports, just ask.....also in Paul Heatons (beautiful south) #Favpub #top10pubs....also all draught is £1.99 a pint so really can't say more than that..an am on the Strongbow, Guinness is included of the offer too!!! happy days!! can not fault the place.
