Went there for tea last night, really good choices, plenty of food on the plates, the cup cakes are to die for, will return soon �

Went especially because of reviews about the great vegan food there and it definitely didn't disappoint. Best burger I've EVER had. Lovely staff, great choices on the menu, and in my opinion great prices for amazing tasting vegan food, especially in town. Would definitely recommend and I will be returning soon.

The right kind of bar/venue in the right place playing the right kind of music with the right kind of people! Smashing!

Relaxed setting with great home cooked #vegan food and good music. It's a while since we've visited but we won't leave it that long to visit again. There was a selection of specials along with burgers and breakfast options and everything was well cooked and tasty.

Nipped in on my travels to manchester

Drinks are reasonably priced

Staff were lovely

Had the 1/4 pounder chxcken burger platter filled me up well worth the price would reccomend to any vegans or anyone qanting to try some nuce pub grub

Also the cook was beyond lovely

Thanks for the experience

Near Oxford Road Station under the Railway. Excellent Bar with a good selection of Cask Beers in top condition. Friendly staff.

Love this place, great music plus a wide choice of beers

Love the venue and the vegan menu! :D The chef was very friendly- he came to our table a few times to check if everything was ok. Thankyou! :)

It's a ace bar with a lovely atmosphere. Making it our official meeting place! Great choice of drinks, great music and people �

I attended a gig here last night. The staff were brilliant. Due to my disability it is difficult to use the spiral staircase entrance. Instead they allowed me to use an alternative entrance. No fuss was made just very accommodating and happy to assist and made me welcome. Thank you to all staff and security.

Great pub with great music. One of the best places to hear the best alternative and indie music in Manchester. A must in the town!!!

Great place, great music, great staff and better still the food they serve is vegan!

Fabulous, vegan food at an excellent price. Well worth a visit!

Excellent bar great staff

Nice and chilled. good prices .

Great food

Martin the mod top chef and DJ

Cracking boozer. I always stop in here for a drink on my way to shows at the academy, and it’s always been lively and fun. The DJ in there last night was also a full on character.

Called in last sat night before we went to the theatre....an old mate Martin the Mod was on ... fantastic music ...some fab old R&B tunes spun and a great atmosphere .....will deffo go back and spend the night there 👍🍹🥂🍾🎶🎵🎼🎷💿

It's a good pub and a good place to see a band. Reasonably priced alcohol, loads of seats, big undercover smoking area. And it isn't their fault that some people like to hang around the bar area screaming loudly about how they just got barred from Grand Central. Yeah love, I can't imagine why!

Ordered Amaretto and lemonade. Got given Amaretto and coke. Told the bartender (politely) I asked for Amaretto and lemonade and he just said "no, you ordered it with coke". Asked him why I would order my own drink wrong when I don't like Amaretto and coke and he just responded with "well you should make your order less ambiguous in future". Asked him to swap it and got told he would give me an Amaretto and lemonade but I'd have to pay for both drinks.



Would not accept that he got the order wrong and told me to pay for the drink (which I didn't want or order) or get out.



Class A oxygen thief. Won't be going back.

Only thing that really put us off our visit yesterday around 3pm was the really happy bar staff(sarcastic of course) what a grumpy sod.
