The Kings Arm in Salford

Good beer during The Official Monster Raving Looney Party's cabinet rechuffle

Absolutely love this place, I’m really lucky to have moved in close enough to call it my new local! The service is always great, the pub always has a really warm and good vibe to it and never seen any trouble, just fun! Good range of beers and to top it off, there’s a cat called Charlie who roams around looking cute!

Super cool pub. Good choice of beers, lot of table games. Good people here...

Great traditional pub with decent choice of drinks, recommend calling in if you're in the area

Great pub. Can't believe I haven't been here before, lovely decor and atmosphere. Very pleasant experience :)

Good selection of beers and welcoming seating.

We came in with a fringe theatre show and it is a lovely little theatre upstairs and the pub itself has a great outside space as well as a great ambience. However, the theatre is not very well signposted and neither are the loos. The theatre is a small fringe venue so I understand that there are budget issues, but to keep up with other venues, could do with a better lighting desk. But it is a beautiful space and the technician is lovely and so willing to help!

Quiet, friendly little pub, hidden away. Lovely beer garden, helpful staff and a resident cat.

Amazing cat....amateur tech antics. (Note that this isn't anything against the hospo staff, just the guy running the footy!) Been watching the euros in the city and had a great time so far (and not had to pay entry). Came to King's Arms and paid entry to watch the footy for the tech guy to mess up countless times on streaming, out of sync sound, switching streaming platforms whilst watching and the nail in the coffin was he decided he had enough and turned it off straight after it finished when people hadn't finished watching and didn't give a damn about it. I'll come back for a drink and the cat but won't be back for any productions again!

Constellations play was incredible! Beer garden is a nice space for post play drinks!

Perfect back-street boozer in Salford. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service and complete Juke Box.

A great pub, cosy corners great for relaxing too

One of the best pubs in Manchester! Has a wide variety of beers and ciders to choose from, the staff are incredibly friendly, the interior is very cosy and beautiful and it also has a cute little beer garden for the sunny days as well as an upstairs floor is usually hosting some kind of event! We had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back! 10/10

My favourite local pub. I take everyone who visits me here. I love their local ales that are consistently changing, great to try new beers. They also have a piano, some board games and a spacious smoking area

This a hidden gem! Fab pub and brilliant theatre

Nice atmosphere and surroundings including upstairs theatre. No parking

A surprising little gem. We’ve been here a few times for events and the space upstairs is a great spot. Drinks are well priced too.

Great pub with great beer. It has a decent little beer garden, and upstairs there's pretty regular events from live music, to comedy and theatre. One of the best and basically perfect.

Lovely traditional pub with decent beer selection

Excellent, intimate music venue and characterful pub

Great venue and good range of decent beers.

Great place, cosy, authentic venue with friendly staff and a great little theatre upstairs, just has a lovely feel to it- and they do oat milk too, bonus!

Great local pub with the added bonus of the pub cat Charlie. Good quiz nights if a Wednesday too.

One of the top five best pubs across Greater Manchester. Friendly staff, great beers and the customers it attracts are just so lovely and friendly. Feels like a proper local even after all this time with great music in rotation, its own local theatre and of course, Charlie the cat.

Great venue, really nice event space for small shows. Went to improv and bingo and really enjoyed both. Good events on

Fantastic venue with friendly staff. It has a great, relaxed atmosphere and it's a great place to catch some live music :)

Great night out, any cat lover will love the resident feline Charlie (though don't feed him, he has diabetes) and all the art of him on the walls.

Great food, Manchester standard, but without the hassle of getting into the city centre

Great quiz and even better quizmaster in Brendan, Imogen behind the bar is also fab

Went to see a show in the little theatre upstairs. Pre show drink downstairs had me discover a great little traditional boozer full of friendly characters. I'd like to return here. It looks good if you're into your real, but you'll be equally satisfied if, like me, you're a fan of Fosters.

A very historic pub, beautiful both on the outside and inside. Friendly atmosphere with an excellent choice of quality ales. Regularly has theatre, comedy, gigs and other entertainment in the upstairs room. A meeting place of numerous local groups including the world's oldest angling club. Overall a brilliant pub.

They have live music and bands on, nice and clean looking, polite staff just no parking

Great pub with a brilliant beer selection, live music and a friendly pub cat! Will definitely visit again next time I'm in Manchester.

An excellent pub, which we've only come here for drinks. Been a few times, and it's always such a great "bohemian" and friendly atmosphere. Happily can waste a night here playing some of the supplied board games or friendly chatting. Good range of beers/cider and the staff always friendly and helpful.

As well as being a film set for one of my most favourite comedy shows it's a lovely old pub. Great staff, great beer, and a great beer garden when the weather's fine. They also have theatre nights too. It's rapidly becoming one of my favourite pubs on the Salford/Manchester border. It would also be great as a low wedding venue.

Great beers, good value, friendly service and cool atmosphere

Nice pint of Guinness for a fiver, a belting duke box and five star staff. Hidden gem on the Salford and Manchester border

I had my birthday party here for free ! The staff were lovely and the drinks were flowing (not free drinks) lol I the rooms are sound proof so you can bave as much music as you want. Everyone has chill vibes

Brighde Chambeul was awesome, so was the draught beer and the bar staff. Gig could have been better organised, timings & communication on the night but hey, 9.5 outta 10

This pub was once owned by Paul Heaton and that's why I wanted to go there when I'd ever visited Manchester. Finally made it there last week and it's a really great pub, so great we went back a few nights :). The service was perfect, I was even shown the upstairs room that is used for theatre and shows: so cool ! Only negative is that I was so impressed that i forgot to take a photo upstairs... I you're visiting Manchester, don't forget to go for a drink here, you won't regret it !!

Great city pub. Friendly staff and plenty of places to sit and enjoy a drink. Popular for young and older.👍

warm beer, nice old place thought happy they keep it alive with all the new high risers

A favourite pub of mine, nice little beer garden out the back.

A good selection of beers and lagers. Outside seating. A pint is cheaper than 2 half pints.

Great music venue and atmosphere

Some interesting beers on tap, all served by friendly staff. There are a couple of rooms, so you can find a quieter area for a chat if needed. The modest beer garden is also available for your enjoyment in the unlikely event that Manchester experiences some decent weather.

Great afternoon watching some high quality theatre as part of the GM Fringe with an enjoyable pint or two afterwards. Would recommend on both counts!

Brilliant venue for live music. Friendly.

Nice pub to pop into for a drink. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting the cat unfortunately, but enjoyed all the graphics dotted around. Friendly atmosphere, good tunes.

No wonder it’s an institution! Wonderful pub with great beer, service, and plenty of events happening there. With a great beer garden as well!

Nice traditional pub, a good selection of ales and friendly service.

Excellent team every time smiling and need anything there happy to help , 😊 love to visit this place again

I wanted beer. They had beer. I drank beer. Successful mission...

My favourite pub in Central Salford/ Manchester. Always has a choice of real ales, friendly customers, little garden and theatre upstairs

Fantastic small gig venue to see Bruise Control.

Great pub with live music, theatre and events

Good pints at a fair price. Don’t move the tables.

Good drink selection Friendly staff Nice atmosphere

Nice bar off the main road. Good beer in an old style bar in Salford.

Performed upstairs in the theater space as part of the Project North. Sold out performance. Pub was lovely and had great atmosphere.

Would give an extra star for the salford monopoly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always incredible, have beartown beers on tap a wonderful quiz on a Wednesday and a lovely cat.

Great venue and pub tucked away. Enjoy.

Great pub, bar staff are very laid back 😉

Had a carvery roast here, it was ok, nothing special. The roast potatoes were a bit soggy and the yorkshires were tough. But it’s relatively good value. You get what you pay for.

Went here to watch a play The Arden had put on. What a lovely old fashion pub. Lots of little room. Only had time for one drink as we travelled back to North Wales straight after. Lovely bar staff and acknowledged that they’d seen us. Lots going on there, wished we lived nearby.

Came across this pub when trying to find somewhere to enjoy a bit of craic on a Sat night. Was close to the hotel so figured we'd give it a go. It was busy and there was a comedy night upstairs. Everyone was very friendly and the prices were great. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because I had to go online and create an account to buy tickets to go into the comedy show even tho I was there - they had no way of taking money from us directly; and the ladies wcs were very compact and doors insecure. But we had a fab evening !!

Great wine ,great staff,well worth a visit.

Good food and a nice atmosphere

Just a lovely pub with real beer, and house cat.

Smashing pub! Great little local gem, cat is great!

Lovely place inhabited by one of the most endearing cats I’ve ever met.

Great traditional pub with lots going on.

Nice place, very friendly staff and good beers

Good beer. Friendly staff. Warm atmosphere

Very nice pub. We attended a talk in a room upstairs and then moved to the terrace for a bit. Good atmosphere and service.

Great pub, with a good selection of beers and wines. Very friendly atmosphere! Ideal place to come with friends 👍

Very eclectic pub, subtly hidden away but proudly supporting music and the arts. Saw a great version of Titus Andronicus there in the theatre upstairs. Really glad I checked this place out.

I held a book signing in the main performance space upstairs. The whole team were brilliant and made sure the event went smoothly. Would definitely recommend it.

Great pub with a good selection of drinks and good music. They also have a resident cat. What more can you want or need?

A really great pub that is embedded in the community. A bit of hidden gem.

Went to a gig. Gorgeous place. Amazing staff. Beautiful cats

Excellent pub quiz. Brilliant pub

Great pints, good atmosphere, always have a fun time at the pub quiz.

A quiet pub with a good selection of beers

Could be possibly the best pub in England. First went here in 2019 when I found out it was the pub from Fresh meat. I've travelled from Leeds to Manchester on more than one occasion just to come. Good drinks, beer garden, and juke box. The cat is very chill and enjoys a stroke. I throughly enjoy the art work of the cat as well.

Very clean, with a good mix of people. An old pub with history. Has a theatre room upstairs for shows and plays. Beer is great. A right hidden gem. They do a knitting club for local enthusiasts. Now serving food too. Even the pub cat Chaz is friendly ^_^ - highly recommended.

Cool venue, upstairs for a private event, pretty warm as the windows couldn't be opened!

"A hidden gem" can be said about a lot of places, and many might roll their eyes. This place is the real deal. It's a proper pub; booze, a jukebox, nuts and crisps, some simple food, and an adorable cat! Add on top a program of arty events upstairs and it offers everything. Set off the main drag in a stunning bulding. No knobheads either. Stop reading this and go and find it!!!

Had to visit the fresh meat pub when in Manchester. Really good selection of beers and burgers. Seems like a good music spot as well.

Love coming here. Always a great atmosphere & stuff on upstairs in the theatre. A proper Salford treasure

Great music venue, lovely beer garden, good selection of beer

Fantastic boozer. Great beer and atmosphere.

Beer, cats, and quite often great theatre / bands / music stuff going on. What's nit to like?

Came here as Fresh Meat (Channel 4 show) was filmed here! Staff were very friendly and helpful! Had a few drinks very reasonably priced before going for dinner 🥰

A nice little pub that we only went to thanks to it's inclusion in Fresh Meat. Was nice to see the area that they filmed, staff were nice, and drinks were a good price.

Great little pub with a lovely little performance space upstairs. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff AND it turns out I played a gig here in 2002 with The Darkness which now seems completely insane.

We visited as part of a 60th birthday celebration. It was horrible, the toilets stank, lacklustre customer service, no music. Being a lifelong housemartins/beautiful south/ Heaton and Abbott fan; this was a horrible experience. We won’t be going back - ever

Delicious food & beers...Attentive & friendly staff. I'm glad I stopped here. Gotta get The King's Head Blood Red Ale...To me...it's Ireland's BEST BEER 🍺

Good boozer a good selection of beers on offer
