Odder – One of my favourite pubs on Oxford Road. Wonderfully decorated and always seems to be full of really fit girls.

Kro Bar – The upstairs is very tasteful, antique style tables and great pictures on the wall. However, the downstairs looks like a school canteen, it’s awful.

Pitcher & Piano – My favourite pub in Manchester. The drinks are a bit pricey, but the decor and layout is superb. The beer garden at the front overlooks some beautiful water features. Also, the staff are lovely and the music is always top notch stuff.

Paramount (Wetherspoons) – Want to snog some cheap tart that’s wasted? Then get yourself down to this place on a Friday night.

Britons Protection – One of the oldest pubs in Manchester. It’s very traditional inside, but it has some very serious faults. The drinks are a rip off!! I can’t read my paper in there cos all the lamps have orange bulbs. The beer garden is a comedy of errors.

Monroes – The place where everyone knows my name. Much like ‘Cheers’, everybody knows everyone else. Very much a regulars pub, the staff are very good friends of mine.

Bull’s Head – You will not find a pub that keeps it’s beers as good as this. The best pint of Guiness in Manchester, by a long way.

Sand Bar – Shit heap!!

Atlas Bar – Very expensive, but has a really nice beer garden. Inside in need of decorating. Looking very 90’s.

Rain Bar – Was a bit of a dive 5 years ago. But I popped in last week and it looked superb. One of the best beer gardens in Manchester, inside looks like a pub should look like with oak tables and antique furniture. Upstairs is not as nice, but often used for functions.

Czech Bar – The emptiest pub in Manchester. However, it has 2 pool tables that are usually empty. Everything is empty about this place.

The Pheonix – Often referred to as ‘The pub of doom’. I actually don’t mind it that much. Always good for a quick game of pool after work. The beer is quite poor, so I always drink bottles in there.
