Student bar. Loads of youngsters. Good atmosphere especially for football matches, but very young crowd. Can be hilarious at last orders!!! Cask ales are well kept.

Hydes boozer popular with locals and students. Good selection of holts ales and plenty of guest ales to choose from. Roomy inside with lots of varied seating. Plenty of outdoor seating too. Good for a stop off on a cycle as it's just off the fallowfield loop line. Happy hour 12-17 mon to Friday (approximately but deffo from 12 ) with deals on all the ales. Shows sports, plenty of tellys to choose from.. Recommended

Good selection of well-kept cask ales. Staff are friendly, prices are moderate. The food is very delicious and rich in flavour. Had a "Mancunian Burger" with fries for 5 pounds. Was the best burger I've had in ages. You have to add mayo, ketchup and brown sauce yourself, through. I should go there again. Wait, that's what I'll do now.

Well kept and good selection of the Hyde beer range. Cheap too, 2.30 real ales every day on week days when this was posted. Good music from the piped jukebox. Good fun!

Has been my local for about 3 years now, layout is nice and big but lots of cozy seating. Traditional pub vibes with fire place in the winter. Akin with locals and students, this place is always busy but you always feel at home - there have been a few fights, but I have always felt safe - tbh the locals seem to sort the issues out! There is massive outside seating area which catches the sun. Always show major sports, even horseracing and golf etc - can get rowdy but part of the fun. Drinks are reasonably priced, especially if you come before 6 for the happy hour where a pint is about 4 - bargain. Staff are very friendly, hardworking and seem to be having a good time - love coming here on Friday nights where they sometimes have some loud music and everyone is buzzing!
