The Ducie Arms, Manchester

Great pub, good looking and comfortable inside, nice welcome, good atmosphere, no d***heads! Want a good, tasty pint without getting hassled? come here, a true hidden gem. Bit tricky to find if you don't know the area, but well worth it when you do find it - don't give up!

The Salutation, Manchester

Comfortable, fit bar staff, but smokey as F***! gets unbearable on a weekend night.

The Arch, Manchester

On the good side - an abundance of characters, attractive bar staff, good food, never boring, good pint of Grolsch, open late. Bad side - empty and bare during the day, pool room particularly threatening, dirty sofas, toilets have no bog roll or locks, local nasties/scallies seem to have free licence to waltz in and wander about looking menacing without buying anything, like the wild west on a sunday afternoon, girlfriend guaranteed to get hassled if you leave her to go to the bog, be prepared to 'lend' at least 5 fags on a night out.
