The Lass O'Gowrie, Manchester

The Lass is a quality boozer, of that their can be no doubt. The ales are kept well and rotate on a regular basis to keep up the interest. In the age of the chain pub (F*!@%$ awful things) it is a breath of Fresh air. The most important thing about the Lass is how accommodating the landlord and staff are to a wide range of punters. Whilst keeping the tradition of a traditional town boozer, they have not been afraid to push the boundaries a little and try something new. From exhibitions of rock �n� roll photography to free vintage computer games and even the occasional gig or poetry reading there is something for everyone. If you enjoy your sport there is no need to be worried either. The Lass caters for you all, with the snug or upstairs rooms available to book if your event clashes with The Manchester derby for example. I have seen supporters groups as wide ranging as Manchester QPR supporters (who have made the pub a regular watering hole, to lovers of Gaelic Football and more. All this alongside a regular helping of locals that cover most demographics, which always makes for a good atmosphere. Whether you�re a fan of real ale, poncy lagers or good food, the Lass is well worth a visit.
