“Best pub in manchester Great beer at a reasonable price and great atmosphere”

Very good Joseph Holt pub about 20 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly. Two cask beers on handpump when I visited. Fairly busy after the Spurs game at the Etihad. The pub is Grade II-listed with a nationally important historic interior and mottled tile frontage. Remodelled about 1925 the building dates back to about 1800. Split with a lobby in front of a bar, a lounge at the rear and vault at the front.

Classic trad boozer, virtually opposite Shudehill tram stop. Holts bitter well kept, great atmosphere, friendly staff and locals, not expensive for a city centre, landlady and hubby great couple and very friendly. Can well recommend.

In my Camra book of heritage interiors. Said to be unspoilt since 1925 renovation. A proper old style pub. Sadly, there aren't that many left, but Manchester has a good number. A quiet afternoon pint. Friendly service. Just Holts bitter on handpump. A really nice traditional beer.
