This is ABSOLUTELY fantastic! Thanks Si. What an amazing watch. Just literally off the plane from a week in Spain and just opened a beer and got this on. Amazing mate. Always a loyal member to this channel. God to see Rob as well.

A couple on there I've never been to, though I knew of them, the Turks Head and Wellington and must remember to visit them next time I'm in Manchester. Never been to the Shakespeare either, but there can't be a pub that promises so much from the outside that delivers so little on the inside, so won't be going there. This video and some of the things said, got me thinking of some of the pubs that existed when I first visited in 1997, just before it started to change, and that have now closed. In 1997 that area around the Angel was built up, with terraced streets, and remember going to a pub called the Pot of Beer, alas no more. Simon I'm sure would've loved the Jolly Anglers, RIP. The Northern Quarter back then was like the Bronx, mean and moody, the Smithfield Tavern was always popular, a place where contractors would stay, I stayed there once, excellent accommodation for the price. Lots of places like Bar Fringe nowadays, but back then it was a trailblazer, foreign beers a rarity in those days.

@ronniechambers2555 spot on about the Shakespeare, it's awful inside..northern quarter/Ancoats was on its knees in the 80's. So many pubs gone in that area. Pot of Beer was called the Harp n Shamrock those day due to the Irish connections around there. Building still stands. Defo go to the Turks Head Ronnie ( hare n hounds next door also super)..some good shouts there mate!🍺👍

Came looking for Marble Arch, was not disappointed. My favourite pub in the world, lived across the road for several years, an absolute treat being able to call that my local. Wish they still did chocolate marble! There’s also the Angel back up the road on the corner, cracking pub.

Just finally finished this (work truly is the curse of the drinking classes) and just brilliant. Used to live in Manchester area and know most of the old places well, but great reminder of their histories. More like this please Simon - much as I love your beer reviews I think there's a market for tours of towns/cities and chats with breweries - maybe smaller towns to a) keep the length of the video down and b) stop you getting wobbly gob 🙂

Looks like you guys had a great day 🍻

Flew into Manchester and made sure i had a few hours before train back to Scotland.. Sureshot ..Cloudwater and Track brewery taprooms really close to each othet. Heaven !! ❤

Really enjoyed that, 3 hours of Manchester, my favourite city, though don't like the way its being Londonised. I did my first pub crawl there in 1997, just before it started to change ( for the worse IMO ). This video has reminded me though, that it still has a lot to offer in the traditional sense, and restored what was on the wane, that is my love for Manchester, its industrial history, culture and its pubs, a place you could easily spend a week, visiting 7 or 8 good pubs/bars and taprooms a day.

Crackin tactic you've adopted there Si. Walk into pubs, get the round order in then ask if its ok if you take a look around the pub to film, while poor old Rob is left at the bar to foot the bill! 😁 Great video Si. 👍

3:35 After The Mill Bar & Kitchen, I'm surprised that you didn't walk out of the front doors (which HopZine's Rob Derbyshire initially pointed to) and visit the Piccadilly Tap, a Bloomsbury Leisure venue.

I was nearly going to Manchester last Saturday too. Never mind. Maybe next time

What a treat! :)

Lees also makes the Moonraker strong ale which is pretty good. Manchester Star was nice too but I'm not sure whether that's still brewed.

Simon. The 'MB' above the door at the Turks Head stands for 'Manchester Brewery Co' 1800's. It became a Wilsons pub in the 1970's. Wilsons was merged with Websters in Yorkshire. Watneys aquired them both and closed them. 1986. How's that?

I fucking love this , reminds me after a good clubbing night with a good kebab.

What a ride!

Black Jack brewery is at the bottom of the hill at the side of The Marble Arch where you visited. Has it's own bar in there too and the owner is a really nice bloke. Absolutely great video of my home town boozers and you did well to be still standing at the end of it!
