Olde Cock

An old inn given new life, set in the historic area of Didsbury Green. It appears to be two large houses joined together, it has a well-appointed L-shaped interior, with a rather grand outside drinking area at the rear. Muted colours, low ceilings, and a mix of furniture create areas for dining, lounging, and simply drinking. An interesting bar is on the right side of the main high-ceilinged part of the pub; the back of the bar features a collection of mirrors. A snug at the front affords a more intimate experience. Food is served daily till 10. The current range of six ales may be increased, so keep your eyes open for interesting newcomers on the bar. Occasional beer festivals are becoming a feature. Events during the week include a quiz night every Wednesday; live music every Saturday evening; open-mic night every Sunday. CAMRA members benefit from the price per pint being 25p cheaper. Historically, this operated as a Loch Fyne fish restaurant, then in June 2011 owners, Greene King, converted it back to mainstream pub-restaurant use.
