This is quite a large pub on a split level with a long bar downstairs. It is a relatively modern building in contrast to those around it and serves the student community of Salford University. There is an outside terrace with views over the horseshoe bend of the River Irwell which the 'Crescent' is built on. Came back into the real ale fold in 2010. There are six hand pumps selling Marston's Pedigree, a house beer and up to four changing guest beers.
