Really nice place & quirky but so cold so bring your coats. Didn’t have any food so can’t comment on that, didn’t see a food menu.

Love this place! The atmosphere and staff are fantastic. The only downsides are the crazy high prices for craft beers and the lack of subtle lighting. But the staff were great, the beer was excellent and the whole vibe was perfect. We’ll be back again!

Visiting Manchester for the weekend, discovered this bar on the off chance, was hoping for an intimate, hospitable and unique experience compared to the franchises dotted around the city centre. It's nothing special compared to the rest. Staff attitude was terrible, came across that they didn't want to be there. Asked for a Mojito but they couldn't make it as it wasn't on their menu, strange as any cocktail bar should be able to make the classics. Asked for their recommendation instead on beers, couldn't give one nor when I asked what the punters drink, they couldn't remember. Asked for a light golden IPA, was given a citrus fruit pale ale. Left rather promptly.

The Cask Pale was really fresh and of excellent quality - pretty cheap as well as far as city centre prices go. Terrific bar staff seem to be able to keep on top of everything as this bar fills up really quickly with the after work customers.

Great little hidden gem off Bridge Street going towards Salford Central. If you are into history, this is one place to visit. This was the old soup kitchen that used to feed the children at Wood St Mission. Good selection of ales, spirits, and non-alcholic drinks Reasonably priced too for the city centre. Less than £5 for a pint.

Extremely attractive basement bar with beautiful tiled walls. It's in what was the kitchens of a former mission hall, feeding the poor in what was a very different Manchester in Victorian times. Very good selection of different ales. The only drawback is they don't accept cash. I don't want to have to use a credit card just to pay for a pint of beer.

I would say this is a place for winter due to it being underground. Love the old tiles and the atmosphere. Even tho on the edge of Spinningfields there are no posy people which is good. It’s definitely quirky and I would bring people who haven’t been to Manchester before here. Great range of gins I was spooky for choice and it’s a good idea to have a gin of the week as it was difficult to choose.

Small and quirky pub, fair amount of seating spaces, vast menu with some pricey drinks. The customer service is pretty standard. Nothing outstanding. The menu is quite vast and has craft beer options, The interior design could use some sprucing up, there isn't much to look at. I didn't see any food menus or any food being served at all. This includes simple starters like French fries, onion rings, etc.

Horrible place, do not go there and certainly don’t tell your mates. ———————————————————- Truthfully, this bar is an absolute gem and I don’t want too many people to find out as it would no longer be the brilliant, quiet and well stocked, ‘off the map’ city centre bar that it is. The spirits, specifically the gin selection is what drinking at a bar is about. You can try wonders from all over the world. You can have a taste of a bottle you never would buy yourself. The beers are varied and delicious. Please don’t change Gas Lamp

Has a great low key, back in time, sort of feel. Really chilled out, despite having hundreds of different sorts of gin, it still manages to avoid being pretentious.

Hotpot in general is good food for cold and wet weather. But this hotpot itself I think is just okay. The vegetable soup is rich and light. The tomyum doesn’t really taste so tomyum. The price is reasonable for a hotpot.
