Grade II-listed pub, opposite Shudehill transport interchange, with a nationally important historic interior and mottled tile frontage. Remodelled about 1925 the building dates back to about 1800. Split with a lobby in front of a bar, a lounge at the rear and vault at the front; the pub can be busy most days. Free and Easy sing along and other entertainment takes place regularly and it appeals to the mature drinker and sports fans. Since our last visit sympathetic redecoration and new photographs of ‘Manchester as it was’ feature on the walls throughout the pub and are an interesting addition.
