The Lass O' Gowrie in Manchester

Nice pub with good pints, an outside area over the canal, and sports on the TV.

Packed out, but staff not happy chaps the guy was as if he wished he was elsewhere but clean nice cider

Nice rum, good smoking area, Rosie was great, definitely come again

amazing service!! very lovely lady behind the bar , rosie , and prompt food service too! portions are much bigger than i thought and could hardly finish dessert! would definitely recommend for anyone in city centre looking for good service & hearty food. pub is also currently very christmassy & is a great place to end the evening after a long day of christmas shopping!

Excellent bar. Lovely setting. Cracking pint of Guinness.

Good selection of beers and ales (although quite pricey), the food was unfortunately the standard across all GK pubs I've been to - overpriced and underwhelming. Went on a mid week evening so lack of atmosphere to be expected, but the design and layout of the pub is nothing to write home about.

A really nice pub which is hard to find these days.The bar staff was quick and helpful. This place takes Cash and card best of both worlds. You can smoke here on the terrace which is above a river which was nice to have a drink outside even in November will go back to this lovely pub again.

Called in here for evening meal. What a fantastic pub! Great welcome on arrival, service, drinks and food outstanding. Would recommend a visit.

Top notch little spot hidden away in Manchester, brilliant selection of Ales and food that is great too.

Great pub. Good beer. Nice atmosphere.

Waited for our food for over 50!!!! minutes, after being told 20… absolutely insane (we just ordered 3 small plates)

Decently priced food and a good variety of Ales on tap.

Nice staff and environment food is decent and there are tv's for the football

One of the best burgers I've ever had.

Good pub, not overly busy for a Saturday night, DJ on, staff welcoming.

Booked a table for 4.30 to be told our meal wouldnt be until at least 5.30 due ti chef being on break? Why take a reservation if your not prepared to meet the required time

Good beer selection. Did not eat here so cannot comment

Great beer, good food and welcoming staff.

We just moved to the neighborhood and our local pub is Lass O’Gowrie, across the road. The atmosphere is fantastic and instantly welcoming. We had signed up online when checking out the menu and received a voucher for a free cider so went to redeem them and enjoy dinner. The barmaid had difficulty with the vouchers so we will use them another time. No big deal. We ordered steak and ale pie but they were out so went with the scampi and the chicken katsu burger. Both were absolutely delicious. We had a great time but it was disturbing to see a barmaid spray insect spray on bar fruit that was behind the bar which had fruit flies around it, with the lids open, possibly to be served in drinks? We made a mental note not to ask for any garnish in future. Other than that, a great pub, delicious food with an excellent variety of options, terrific atmosphere and friendly staff.

The management is very poor and the service is poor the food came out cold

Was a bit early in the day and didn't eat, but really enjoyed my time here.

Really friendly staff, good beer, some good food options as well.

There were some members who were relatives✨ A place where you can relax with a calm atmosphere 😌 There was music playing from late at night (around 9pm) and it became a lively atmosphere...

Good night was had by all..pleasant staff too.

Good stuff good place good people❤️❤️❤️❤️

A place of real character and history and one of the best listed pubs in Manchester. Choices of beers and cocktails Brilliant

Bit quiet but comfortable with a great choice of draught beers

Became British Powerlifitng Champion! Great host!!

Great selection of beers good service and afine atmosphere

Good beer, nice place, just a bit disappointed by the food. Maybe I didn't choose the right one...

Wonderful meals, really good portion sizes, beautiful pub, felt very comfortable and welcome

Absolute delight! Had a lunch deal with a sandwich+drink for 8 pounds (+2 if you prefer beer + 2.5 if you crave a side of potato) and my husband had a delicious pie. Fish in my sandwich was juicy and crispy, pie was amazing as well. Let alone the beer and the atmosphere of the proper English pub. Definitely recommend.

Perfect place to watch the football. Great atmosphere

We called in to have a drink, it was early afternoon, so not many people in there at the time. Very spacious, looks a lively pub, will definitely visit when in Manchester again

Everything was great ubtil bouncer decided my cargo pants (clean ones and branded) are joggers and asked me to leave. Another case of terrible power hungry bouncers causing issues that don't need to be an issue. Having a sia badge shouldn't give you the authority to decide if someone is classed as incorrectly dressed when have worn cargos into venue many times before 👌🏼 won't be returning due to ignorant bouncers but staff great and Guinness is best in Manchester. Aware of the rules for dress code due to location but you're a pub, not a bar or restaurant. If you don't like a bad review due to poor door staff hire better door staff as they're the first representative most people come into contact with within your establishment. A review is based on my experience and your door staff ruined my experience so I will not be removing it for the sake of your business reputation as you employ the door staff. Improve, don't request reviews to be removed.

Well it's a lovely pub but makes it amazing its the staff they can do enough for you, assistant manager Naomi is so attentive and friendly 😀 I loved her..but a mention goes to Jordan who is a fountain of knowledge of the area and was so helpful. For the days we were it become our local , beer was good to...cannot praise enough really

Pretty decent pub with a bit of character, a good beer selection and sport on the TVs!

Amazing historic and interesting find on our first visit to Manchester 😻 - Outside area a treasure above the river with the history of the industrial revolution flowing peacefully below a nice outdoor area to enjoy a drink with the menu for good pub food. Inside I found very helpful friendly staff - especially smiley kind Naomi who found us a table seat 🥰even on popular busy quiz night 🙏 A bonus is the pub accepts Blue Light card 😁- then to top the evening, an amazing selection of nice wines by the glass - so toasting this local feel pub with a very pleasant glass of Picpoul De Pinet ! 🥂 If I lived here I would be a regular ! !

A nice place to have a beer and something to eat. It's a shame they don't have table service, otherwise we really liked it!

Pre gig drinks, def recommended 👌

Excellent food, good range of beers, nice staff, good service, recommended.

Lovely place. Never been in before so was slightly apprehensive about our visit for a works day out. We had ordered a buffet for 12 people, everyone said how nice it was. There was a good verity & there was plenty of it. The service was extremely good, the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We highly recommend the Lass O’’Gowrie & will definitely return ourselves 10/10

The Lass has been a favourite bar of mine for several years, from the good old days when the BBC was there before the new office developments have now been built. I don't think the original brewing facility is there anymore but there is now an outside terrace built over the adjacent river which adds a further option to sit outside, a benefit when the weather is currently wonderful in Manchester. The beers on offer are still as plentiful as I've recalled and with guest ales always on offer for visitors to try. There is now YES, the music venue directly next door which is always full.

Great lunch deals: Mon-Fri noon-3pm: £10 for a hefty sandwich + ANY of their ales/ ciders (£6-7). Soft drink lunch is just £8. Tell this to londoners.

Great atmosphere, good beer, friendly service. Well worth a visit.

Popped in before heading home on the train. It was quiz night and the quizmaster was great. Good selection of beers.

First visit here in almost 30 years. Oh the shame. Now owned by Green King! The pub has changed, not for the better. Perhaps rose-tinted glasses back then, but it has lost all its charm. Gas lights, gone, the lovely bar area and own brews gone. The only thing that had not changed were the lavs! The pint of Cwtch from Tiny Rebel was not up to scratch. Won't be back

Very nice pub with a good range of cask ales. Definitely worth a visit.

Not a place to come for food. We came for the roasts. The Yorkshires were stale and the gravy was oily. We also had a pie, and it tasted very odd, especially the pastry. The inside was fatty as well. The mash also had weird rubbery lumps in it. The waitress was lovely and very helpful with our issues though, and I can't give her enough praise.

Music bar where you can also eat very well. It's a bit noisy, but that's normal in houses like this in England. The live music, while well-intentioned, prevented any opportunity for conversation.

Unfortunate they didn’t have sandwiches, but the pie was good as a fall back. The sticky chicken small plate would get 10 stars if I could.

If you go here, just do yourself a favor and order the Karaage Sticky Chicken.. soooo good. Service was good and quick. Cod Goujons were also very tasty

Beautiful old pub with a heritage serving really good beer, friendly staff and a good crowd of people. Food always look good.

Always a good pint to share with friends over there good service and prices as well

it’s still a lovely little pub but it has lost some of its authentic pubbiness on this visit… Genuine advice to the management - a bit more of a relaxed approach at the bar would go a long way. Maybe reintroduce barstools too to create a convivial atmosphere. Today it felt a bit like I was queuing for a McDonalds drive thru.

Great pub with friendly atmosphere. Nice beer and good food. Not much more to want really.

Home game and Sunday roast, it must be good! Unfortunately, all the roast beef was sold out, but the chicken was a surprisingly good option. And even though we weren't able to attend the football match, the atmosphere was in high spirits! Nice staff who made sure we had a good time, I'd love to come back here!

Proper pub, proper beer. Staff were on it and wasn't overly expensive

Service was excellent- Lily served us our drinks and was lovely. Would cone again

drinks were nice, was made to feel very welcome by lily and live music was good

Great pub great atmosphere staff amazing

Friendly staff and comfortable surroundings

Pretty busy, but was 17:30 on a Friday night - 2 tables free though!!. Stopped in for dinner prior to Peter Kay. Had the vegan pulled mushroom chilli - delish even though I'm not vegan, and partner in crime had the cheese and bacon burger which was demolished quick smart!! Staff smiley and friendly. Well worth a visit, whether just for a drink, or for food.

A hidden gem! Friendly bar at reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit if you're in this side of town.

I stayed in Manchester over the weekend and I popped in here for a drink and some food was all good. Good place to watch the football on the tv

Oldy worldy boozer around the corner from Whitworth Street.

Dropped in after work to meet friends. Good food menu and a great selection of drinks.

Went in to grab a pint and turns out the quiz was on. Annabelle was a lovely quiz host and made me and my friend feel very involved and accepted. Luke and the other girl behind the bar were lovely to talk to and a joy to be around. Sadly we had to get a train home. Would love to come back again. Highly recommend

Didn’t have food but a nice vibe and friendly staff

We called in this afternoon on a trip down memory lane as I frequented this pub as a student in the 90s. We ordered cups of tea and food and the staff were just lovely. It was relaxed with groups enjoying a beer and eating. The chips tasted just great with plenty of sea salt. A very welcome stop with great service and food.

Delicious food and very nice atmosphere

Excellent service and atmosphere

Great space for Saturday evening. Fantastic food

Alright if you're in your 20s not the place for a relaxing drink and a chat far too noisy can't hear yourself think let alone talk

What's not to like about this place. 💫💫💫

Proper Manchester pub with great atmosphere and excellent ales! Good staff and friendly locals! Most enjoyable!

Feels very corporately run. Doesn't have any character. Pints and service are perfect but it doesn't feel like an English pub, more like an Americans idea of a pub.

Short visit on a trip to Manchester to tick off some interesting pubs again. Good choice of real ale and had a good chat and advice from the barman , who gave us samples to try before we made our choice. Loved the tiled exterior. The interior isn't quite so interesting, but we'll worth a visit.

Great pub shame it's hidden away

Lovely Assistant Manager Naomi and Sean the chef xx from Eeyore

They didn't have the beer I always have and it is, presumably, their own beer. Also their Internet service wants to keep your phone information.

Decent pub in good location. It was packed on a Friday night and we were a large group so we struggled to find a spot but managed eventually. Drinks are expensive but it’s a Greene King and prices seem typical of that area. The atmosphere wasn’t really up my street with a musician so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves talk.

We came to hold a meeting in the VIP room, and what a gorgeous room it is! A real gem in the heart of Manchester! The staff are friendly and kind, and really easy to talk to. I urge people, especially tourists, to visit, it's wonderful!❤️❤️

Awful food and over priced.Never again

Decent beer and a decent 'properties vibe.

Very nice pub with friendly staff, can't fault that at all but as a real ale drinker the beers were a very poor quality and limited range compared to the Lass under different owners when the beer selection was superb.

Naomi looked after us Yard and coop lot amazingly. Food was spot on and service was excellent, couldn’t ask for a better venue

Called in yesterday evening for an impromptu dinner with my daughter post filming close by! Fabulous old building with a grwat atmosphere and very welcoming staff. I had a Pirter yo drink it was exceptional, wish I could have stayed for more!!! Food was well cooked and presented! It was also very tasty. Well worth a visit a fabulous nook to relax in!! Thank you Bx

Had some drinks watching football. Your typical Brittish pub. A bit pricey.

On a busy Friday tea time, one poor lass working by herself. Service levels seriously affected. Ridiculous for a city centre boozer charging a premium. No heating on either..

Just called in for a drink with a friend.

ridiculous prices for average drinks

Great little pub that I have visited several times. The beer is good with lots of choice, good atmosphere I would recommend paying a visit.

Good beer, helpful staff. Reasonable pub grub.

Very nice place, local pub with great atmosphere. Highly recommended to have a good pint of Guinness and a local meal. ☺️

Probably my favourite pub in Manchester. Retains the traditional features and charm, but modernised tastefully. Decent selection of ales too

Really cool pub centrally in Manchester. Service was great, and the food menu was a lot better than in many other pubs I have been to (fairly healthy, classics and modern touches, about 30% vegetarian dishes). We had the luck to be there on a night with live music and they also have evenings with quizzes or live sports. Highly recommended!

After enjoying a multitude of new artisan Manchester boozers, this was a refreshing trip back in time. Great atmos... tremendous selection of beers... it can be forgiven for the period (smelly) urinals.

Beer and live music on Saturday

Always enjoy a good pint of Guinness (including the zero) in here, and like to stop in regularly during the week for a pie and mash. It’s good value with the staff attentive.
