A lovely pub we went into the first day of our Manchester trip because it was close to our hotel. Kept coming back each day. Food is great, staff is cool, beers are great, vibes are lovely!

A real Manchester pub. The crowd is very diverse, here you will meet both young people and quite old people drinking beer The staff is very nice, the atmosphere is what you need, I recommend drinking the local dark beer (instead of drinking Guinness once again)

We ordered food and drinks for 2 people. (£34.80) a Chicken Tikka Masala and Sausage and Mash. Obviously not cooked on premises, simply reheated food. The curry, £12.95, was so overcooked that I couldn't cut the chicken. The staff on duty had to phone the manager to authorise a refund. The drinks were nice enough and the sausage and mash quite nice. Music was piped in, so not a great deal of atmosphere. It was clean and tidy though. We'd not go back.

Very good Manchester pub about 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly Station. Six cask ales on handpump when I visited including a mild. Fairly quiet after the Spurs game at the Etihad. The pub was Manchester brewer Joseph Holt's first ever new-build house in the city. Built on the site of the Queens Arms beer house, it opened in 1993.

The Old Monkey Pub in Manchester offers an impressive array of beers, showcasing a diverse selection that caters to various tastes. However, it's worth noting that on two separate visits, the pub was not serving food. This might be disappointing for those looking to pair their drinks with a meal. Despite this drawback, the charming atmosphere and exceptional beer choices make it a noteworthy spot for beer enthusiasts.

Darren behind the bar (short,chubby, wee fella) charged me four times for a two dashes, I asked Darren why, I was told; “that’s just what we do”. My friend paid double for his dash aswell. I thought this was odd so I stood at the bar, another customer ordered a spirit and dash, who only paid for one, when I asked why, Darren said “because he’s only drinking soda”… I thought I heard him asking for a spirit, could be my mistake. However, when my other friend was served by the older gentleman behind the bar, he was not charged double for a dash. Very confusing

Ho trovato questo pub mentre girovagavo per Manchester e il nome mi ha attratto fin da subito. Ho pranzato con una pie ripiena di carne e una birra: tutto era squisito e soprattutto, visti gli standard dei prezzi inglesi, anche economico. Lo consiglio anche solo per una pausa, si respira proprio l'aria da tipico pub inglese.

We spent £100 for two people here. The ribs and lamb chops were enjoyable, but the two steaks we ordered weren’t great and were unexpectedly spicy, even though we hadn’t requested that. They also came without sides like chips, which seemed odd for the price, and sauces were an additional charge. The Coke tasted like a budget supermarket brand, and there was also a 10% service charge added to the bill. For the cost, I don’t think I’d return. However, I do want to note that the staff were friendly, talkative, and respectful.
