The Salisbury in Manchester

A lovely pub with friendly staff and some great tunes on the juke box

Great bar that offers discounts on food and drinks if you have a gig ticket for the same day

A piece of Mancunian history. Quite cosy and sweet. Nice outside area downstairs

one of the best places in terms of price for spirit and mixer

So, I've been going to this pub on and off for about sixteen years now, and 8 can definitely say I love the place. The staff are fantastic. The atmosphere is always enjoyable, and the fact that it is waking distance from Manchester Oxford Road Station is a blessing. I would recommend this pub to friends and family.

Best pre drinks pub before gigs for rock music

A proper pub! Great selection of whiskey and Ales, I will return next time I'm in Manchester.

My personal favourite alt pub in Manchester. The drinks are good and well priced, the staff are really nice and most of the other customers are chill too.

Good beers, friendly welcome. Nice pub. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good vibes and one of the only places I've ever found that has old peculiar on tap Also they now do pizza and money off food & drink if you have a local gig ticket

Beautiful, very clean apartment with a comfortable bed in a prime location. We felt very comfortable and contact with the host was uncomplicated. Fast response times and good tips.

Great selection of ales and great music, friendly service too. Didn't have food but many others were having pizza which looked good so will try it next time.

Great traditional boozer. One of the rare places you'll find Murphy's Stout on draught.

Great little pub right around the corner from the train station. Excellent choice of ales and a welcoming atmosphere.

Great pub with a wide selection of good beer. Now doing good pizzas too

Excellent outdoor seating. Excellent staff. Quality ales and beers to choose from. Located ideally for Manchester Oxford Road train station.

Pizzas amazing always friendly staff and chill atmosphere.

What a superb place! Great choice of beers; pizzas were delicious (served in boxes so the pub still felt more like a drinking pub than a dining place, which is good!) Best of all, we’d just been to an event at the O2 Ritz & by showing our ticket we got a huge discount (I believe any city event would be valid) Superb atmosphere too. We'll come again 👍

Excellent selection of beers. Fast, efficient service.

Always loved this pub, it's a bit annoying that it's card payment only, but the choice of ales and the friendly staff still makes it one of my favourite pubs in Manchester.

Great place for drinks and good music

Great rock bar with lovely pizza at reasonable prices. Staff were all friendly too.

Great time before a gig , staff were boss , drank trooper it was F-ing amazing, Morgan our bartender was great, very friendly and helpful. Was really amazing, great atmosphere, good for people who enjoy good music and good beer. Pool table was a pound, great pub all around , not enough praise given to the staff , Morgan was very very friendly and was great to chat too , highly recommend!!!

Such a good pub, best in manc perfect after a gig

It's a fantastic Rock Pub, been going in on and off for years. Great place to call for a quiet drink if you're nearby in the day or a really good place at night with a great atmosphere. Good food (Pizzas) great beer and discounts if your off to a gig. It's card-only

Possibly my favourite pub in the Northwest of England. Stellar jukebox pumping out some of my personal favourites, great beer selection and friendly bar staff and patrons.... Highly recommended 🤘

This is a pub with a wide choice of beer that is kept very well. Probably the best beer you'll get. We got a few pizzas to help soak up the several pints we had.

Traditional English pub, authentic and with a great atmosphere. Pints ​​at a reasonable price and great variety. Personal, attentive and good music

Awesome classical rock pub with great selection of Beers and awesome staff 👍🏻✌🏻

Didn't eat so can't speak for the food, but the beer selection was really good and the place was as vibrant and friendly as ever.

Not much of a pub but beer to die for. A tribute to Camera! Try their spicy cheesy nachos sharer. They are hot! Nice and cool interior on a hot day.

Staff are great, laid back atmosphere for alternatives. Drinks are cheap and plenty of seats

Favourite bar in Manchester. Great music and cracking pizzas

Great pub with lovely, down to earth folk 😺

Great character pub with excellent juke box. Good choice of beers and a decent pool table. Always quick service with friendly staff. Evened choice of whiskey and hard liquor!

Great music (rock focused), drinks & pool table

Best pre gig pizza and beer anywhere

Great Rock pub, very busy with a atmosphere.

Love the Sal, much better than the local competitors

I'm here now, it's lively, friendly, trouble free. The beer is great, the prices are good. The Salisbury is an absolute gem for the rock/metal/alternative Manchester community. I've been a customer here for 34 years, and counting.

Great juke box. The staff are fab. Been coming here for over 30 years. May be should reinstate cash payment as one or 10 friends won't come in now, which is a shame.

Called into this pub on the offs chance whilst heading down Oxford Street. Ordered a pint and a 14 inch pizza. This was on a cheaper mid week offer, I think. The barman was very pleasant and attentive. The food was excellent. A well enjoyed visit. I would definitely return. A nice old pub as well with good decor. A good place to visit for a nice pint and pizza.

Great place . Friendly staff ..happy to serve and gave us discount because we were attending a gig in Manchester

No cash, no serve. WRONG on every level.

Great pub supporting the music industry.

Greta place for rock music and great food and drink

I've always enjoyed The Salisbury over the years because of the great vibe and music played there.

Basic pub pizza. Quite busy at bar. No real atmosphere tbh. Used to go regularly for rock atmosphere but that seems to have gone now. Not sure if they are looking to appeal to everyone and not just the rock niche they had nailed

Our go to pub before and after live music in Manchester. Friendly staff and our kind of people in the bar.

Good selection of beers, great music ( walked in and one minute silence was playing). We had pizza (food served after 1500) and they were really good Great pub

Always a great atmosphere and eclectic crowd

Left my phone here Friday 24 May on a rare night out. Phoned them Saturday and was told, yes they have my phone. Went to pick it up from a lovely staff member who had put my phone on charge. To the person who handed my phone in, thank you. To the staff at the Salisbury, thank you so much for for everything.

Brilliant little pub. Well kept ales including Old Peculiar 🍻 Decent pizza and plays good music! 🎶

Short greasy long haired man behind the bar told my foreign friend to “speak English” when he tried to order a pint and impersonated his accent and laughed at him in a derogatory way. Will never come here again while he works here. Absolutely appalling and have contacted head office with no response yet hence the review.

Don’t come here if you are Asian. The short bartender will make it clear you are not welcome by racially abusing you. This bar has made it clear it is not an ally of the Asian community and the community is aware of its racist staff member which will be taken further. The community is tight and does not stand for this kind of behaviour.

Great meeting place, good selection of beers on draft too!

Brilliant rock pub near Oxford Road railway station, cracking staff, brilliant jukebox

Lovely staff and tasty food!!! Reasonable drinks and good music. Always a good night out here

Probably one of my favourite pubs in Manchester, the vibe is always so friendly in The Salisbury. Really good selection of drinks in a great location too.

If you love heavy rock then this is the place to come to in Manchester. Very busy with a mixed crowd. Bar service was quick even when so busy.

Always an awesome place to drink!

A great rock/metal bar that has stood the test of time, pizzas served upto 11pm, great music, great beer

Was a regular here some decades ago and I'm pleased to say the place has changed since then. It doesn't look broken and soiled like it used to. Nice place on a Saturday afternoon - ticking over but not full. Clientele a mix of ages and musical leanings (patrons in the Salisbury often wear their music taste on their sleeve - literally) with folks eating, drinking and just having a sport-free afternoon in the pub. Bar star friendly and helpful. Music absolutely fantastic (mixture of American punk and UK post punk 'powerpop'). Spent a good few hours in there chatting about everything and nothing over a few scoops and a few bags of crisps. This old rocker had a great time.

Great public house, excellent selection of food, beers, wines and spirits. Staff are awesome, very good service and so helpful. This is one of Manchesters finest gems

Great pub. Great vibe. Great pizza

Met up with friends today for a catch up. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good selection of beers and cider. Pizzas lovely - 8 of us. Had several of the 7" pizzas- margarita, ndjua, pepperoni, garlic bread- vegan with mushrooms. Goes without saying music is great 🤘🎸

Advertises food until 9, shuts kitchen early

Bar staff very friendly. A beautiful clean pub.

In the top 5 proper bars in Manchester

Great pub, great beer, occasional half wit queues are formed, but other than that all good

Only grabbed a quick pint before my train from Oxford Street station. Friendly staff, excellent beer selection, rocking playlist. . Shame I don't live closer, I'd probably be in all the time.

Great selection of ales, good jukebox, lovely staff.

Cashless ! Love it in here when we go to Manchester but won’t go in now as cashless. Grand central accept cash will take our money there.

Excellent vibes in this place, always friendly and fill of decent folk.

If you need a rock bar you can't go wrong here. Bonus outside space that is often rare to find in the area.

Great prices, money off with a gig ticket, lovely food and brilliant atmosphere! Staff are always great too, what more could you want?

Great pub with excellent pizzas and the best rock music this side of Download!!

Great real ale. Discounts for gig goers and Camra members. Brilliant Dukebox and insane (but safe and friendly) clientele

Saturday night up Manchester, great pub for good ales and great music. Had fun playing pool. Good selection of beers on tap, real ales and lagers. A great stop off if you like the rock music.

Best pub in the whole of Manchester and every other country

Great pub with some good music couldn’t fault it

A handy place for a pint, while you wait for your train at Oxford Road. Not cheap, but this is city centre Manchester. Cashless bar, as far as I can tell.

Rock music, nice cozy atmosphere and the pizza was excellent!

Lovely pub first visit here, drinks great 👍🏼 staff friendly and helpful

Great place to meet up with friends staff friendly and nigel the door supervisor is one top geezer

Good pint of Guinness. Pool table. Can be slow to get served once it gets busy

My favourite rock music venue in Manchester. Always a great atmosphere. Great range of ales, rums and whisky. Serves basic pizza. The pub is down a steep hill - then a couple of steps up into pub - not sure if there is a disabled entrance. Discounts with gig tickets.

Fantastic pub in the centre of Manchester.

Incredible pub for just chilling after work or a night out, music is great as well as the service! Can get a little crowded sometimes but it's really worth it. Deffo my favorite pub in town.

Great staff. If you like rock/metal then it's great. If not just enjoy the beer and pizza.

Bar staff take notice of who is next to be served when the bar is busy and are knowledgeable about their stock.

Very quiet Sunday afternoon but Sam on the bar was a lovely gentleman Has a great atmosphere come Friday/Saturday evening

They have nice beers and a really good Pizza. All you need

Pool table is as useable as an ashtray on a motorbike. Red Stripe on draught, can't complain.

Best place for pints and food before a gig, a staple for going to gigs in Manchester for me!

Fantastic for a pint of red stripe. When I went in mid week it was lively, mainly with students, but wasn't too crowded. Plenty of seating. Pool table is in a bit of an odd spot making it hard to play as any shot you play the cue is up against the wall.

I've been coming here for years. Good classic pub with a modern jukebox usually blasting rock, metal and pop punk. Nice locals and atmosphere in general. Solid selection of drinks at good prices, especially for town.

Brilliant place People thare very friendly

Consistently my favourite pub in Manchester for over three decades

Always get stuck at train station, easy fix is the Salisbury.. never lets me down.👍
