The Old Monkey - Manchester

Lovely proper bar , shame no food on was starving . friendly staff and good range of drinks . Just stayed for one going to a show and needed some food

Having been in the pub before and enjoyed the experience, I was extremely disappointed this time. The guy behind the bar looked far from happy and we left after one drink

100% recommend for the staff alone. Bar staff were exceedingly friendly and imparted a load of local knowledge to me, a first time solo visitor to Manchester. The second day I visited, I was in a bad situation and the owner helped me out tremendously (without me asking). I can't possibly thank her enough. Will defo be back next time I visit.

If you are looking for a good meal then this is the place to go. Good portions and not too expensive. They also have a range of craft beers to choose from.

Shutting early is OK if it's done in a professional manner. This wasn't and the barman just couldn't wait to get the away. Avoid on a Sunday night.
