The Northern, Manchester

They have finally got an entrance on Oldham St and boy does it help passing trade.

My visit on Saturday around 7pm was a good one.

I would definitely go in there again (despite the loud music).

Not one for real-ales fans and there are plenty of real-ale alternatives close-by.
Unfortunately they were all full of City fans post-match!!

The Black Lion Hotel, Salford

With some regret I have to agree with the recent negative comments about the real ales selection since it re-opened

The people who have taken it over are locals and hats off to them for trying to make it a community pub.

It was never going to be 'New Oxford 2' and nor should it try to be.

If you like real ales, stick to the Oxford and Crescent

Sam's Chop House, Manchester

There is a lifesize bronze of LS Lowry sat at the bar now.

A permenant monument apparently, as it was one of his old haunts
