| A traditional boozer that's co-operatively owned. Two cask ales. alexw - 29 Jul 2018 13:10 |
| Recently called in here for a couple of pints after the football at Salford FC. The pub is tucked away up a small side street and despite its location there were quite a few people in. Its very basic and traditional which adds to it for me, the local clientele shall we say were interesting but very friendly. The real ales are very well kept, i enjoyed this pub and will definately be visiting again. bellevueace - 1 May 2016 11:27 |
| I dropped me dad and boyfriend off there a few Fridays after they re-opened and they enjoyed themselves and my boyfriend got a little tour (as he is nosy) and said it's looking good, excellent ale too as you would expect from Bazens. My turn without the car next on a Saturday night! No. 98 from Mcr stops near Bazens brewery. I will rate it for my old man and better half as they are technophobic. mandylou - 1 Mar 2010 17:29 |
| This unspoilt suburban boozer hit the regional headlines recently when it became the first urban co-operative pub - the former owners, Robinson's Brewery. were about to sell up and the locals clubbed together and bought the pub. You can read more about this on the pub's website. It's situated in the pleasant Cliff Conservation Area (presumably so-called because it is high above the River Irwell) in Higher Broughton, about 2 miles north of Manchester city centre, an archetypal Salford area of Victorian housing and cobbled streets. Accessed from a back alley, the pub is currently de-signed as the Robinson's stuff is being replaced, making it even more difficult to find. Very much a locals' pub (in more than name now),it's a basic, unpretentious place with a small bar room as you enter and a separate large lounge to your left, through a door. There are some interesting original features, such as a swing door, and handpumps that are side-mounted at the bar, not on the bar front. The lounge has rustic green leather mounted seating and stools to match, and unvarnished tables. 'Star Inn Bitter' brewery mirrors are the extent of any further opulence. TVs and occasional piped music. Robbies' rather dull brews have been discarded in favour of Salford microbrewer Bazens', and the brewery now brews the house 'Star Inn Ale', a malty hoppy beer that was very quaffable. The other pump dispensed Bazens' Black Pig Mild, although the growing number of pump clips around the bar suggest that other microbreweries often feature. The pub is obviously going through a period of transition and there's a refurbishment-y feel to the place that will hopefully soon pass. Apparently, this is the last of several pubs in this area and its great to see it continue in such a way. The landlord will happily talk to you about it. The pub is about 30mins walk from central Manchester but as it's through a rather uninspiring area you may prefer to get a bus. Probably not one for everyone due to its ultra-basic and traditional nature and as it's quite a way out you might not make time, but I urge everyone who can get along to support this venture.
