See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Pleasantly refurbished in early 2018 with pine wood fixtures and fittings, there are three or four booths down the right side directly opposite the very long bar. Most of the other seating is of the high variety, but there is plenty of room for vertical drinking in the area around the bar. Bare-boards, large rivets, and lots of filament bulbs seems to be the theme. An interesting photo montage of Cameron's Brewery and of Didsbury line the walls of the stairway to the upstairs loos. All draught products on the bar are advertised on two TV screens that act as a scrolling menu. Any draught beer can be put into a can for takeaway, this attracts a 20% discount. A coralled off area at the outside front allows for alfresco drinking in finer weather. They offer all-day food (most days, till 9pm), a large selection of cask ales, and many bottled beers.
