A traditional pub with an impressive tiled frontage and stained glass windows. Inside it is decepively large, being split over three levels. Alongside the bar a short flight of stairs runs to an upper level with more fixed seating at the front, with a mixture of sofa's and bar stools to the rear. Taking the stairs down to the lower level takes you to Malt & Cask - the pub's specialist ale & whiskey bar created by conversion of the under utilised cellar bar in late 2013. Malt & Cask offers three handpumps on the bar and a wide selection of single malt whiskeys. The exact age of the pub is uncertain but the main bar has been part of a pub for many years, while the upper & lower level rooms were added by knocking through into the adjacent building in the 70s. The pub retains a traditional feel. Sky sports etc are shunned, but there are TVs in all rooms showing news channels with the sound off or sports when on BBC/ITV. The upper room has a dartboard, while a selection of board games, including Monopoly Manchester Edition are available from the bar. The CD jukebox has a wide selection of music and the pub hosts occasional live music evenings. Quiz on Tuesdays start 8;30pm.
