| Closed and lifeless this afternoon. Is it still a pub? wobblybob - 14 May 2014 22:13 |
| Wow this Pub has really changed recently, a load more beers on sale, full fridges, specials on three bottles and big brand lagers and bitters and they even do real ale again. I tried the Hob Goblin and Bombadier at �2.30 a pint and they do a light Priors organic ale at �1.50. The staff seem to be really friendly not the usual miseries you get at some places and there seems to be new customers coming in from the MEN and the Green Quarter. The kitchen has been gutted out and they are now doing proper home cooked style foods to attract the workers that like a drink at lunch and after work. The new pricing structure seems to be attracting the right people to popularize the pub with new customers. I was chatting with the new owner and landlady (Sylvia) she was telling me that the Sports channels would be on three TV screens in time for the start of the football season along with more real ales to bring in the old customers that have been lost by previous bad management. I can definitely recommend the fresh spicy shish kebabs and the real ales and on a warm day the Beer garden is fabulous. billycamm - 20 Jul 2011 16:36 |
| In response to ROBCamra, yes i ventured into this establishment a few weeks ago after hearing it had reopened and what a disappointment! The same shabby, tired looking interior, two ales available one from Acorn which i sampled and left without finishing. Once again a pub that has been taken over by people who don't understand the concept of real ale and think a pub runs itself. Interestingly Jim left rather hastily, which is a shame really as he improved the range of ales at the Smithfield. Looks like another wasted opportunity. nokegthanks - 4 May 2010 16:43 |
| Once upon a time this pub was a fixture on the N4 Manchester pub crawl and was in the GBG for several years. It was then sold to a complete numpty who decided that his customers didn't want real ale. They did, and after a while it shut. Happily it's now reopen again and on Friday had two beers from Phoenix on the handpumps Navvy and Hopsack, both at the amazing price of �1.90 a pint. I had a pint of the Hopsack which was very good. The pub's had a bit of a spruce up on the inside, especially the toilets which certainly needed it. On the negative side the pinball has now gone and there were two sweary blokes in the pub who couldn't speak without fffing and this was despite the fact that the barmaid/landlady's young daughter was in the pub. Overall I'm glad it's reopened, but it's going to be a long hard slog to get it back to where it was. ROBCamra - 4 May 2010 16:13 |
| Back-street boozer in an area of derelict warehouses about half a mile north of Victoria Station. Formerly a CAMRA stalwart, it was run down and then closed last year. Owing to its location, few expected it to reopen but it has, and is serving real ale. The pub is half-tiled outside with green and maroon, giving an atmosphere of faded grandeur. Inside, it's hardly changed- a central bar serves a roughly horseshoe room, with a a large TV as you enter and a pinball machine and gambling machine on the other side. It was very quiet on Friday afternoon visit- hopefully more people will hear it has reopened to rectify this. Pumps from Acorn, Prospect and Phoenix microbreweries shown on my visit, but only the Phoenix was available as the other two had run out- Hopsack, and it was very good indeed. Not sure it's back to its best yet, but it's good to see it reopened and it's worth popping along to give it a go. Carlurmston - 31 Mar 2010 16:41 |
