So I was in Town Picking up my Mrs from Piccadilly station after a business meeting in Oxford and I got there a little bit early so as I was walking up the station approach I stumbled across the Piccadilly tap so I decided to wet my whistle.
I walked in and headed straight to the bar and I ordered a pint of IPA(I can't remember the name) but service was friendly enough, Great pint i paid £5.50(You can pay cash or card), Chilled out relaxed atmosphere mixture of working class to office types, There is outside seating aswell internal seating.
Pint was very nice and very hoppy and was well served and the bar was clean and tidy, Polite and friendly staff.
Great experience, Great pint and a stone throw from Piccadilly station.

An oasis of excellent cask ales compared to many of the grim, over priced, keg beer pubs in the local area. On the station approach so extremely handy for meeting people or having a last pint before catching a train. Attractive design, friendly atmosphere, plenty of stools, an upstairs area and balcony as well as tables and chairs on the pavement to watch the world pass by. Pleased to see that there was a stout available and it was superb.
Argyle on tour! An excellent choice for pre match drinks.....once we found it !! Mixed directions on Google. It's only just off Piccadilly Station. Plenty of unusual craft beers and lagers to choose from. No food, just a drinking pub and obviously was a favourite of many judging by the continual flow of trade. Lots of Argyle and City fans mostly mature , with no idiots, all having a great time. It's got an upstairs as well with a balcony which looks out onto a busy, busy, vibrant street. A couple of City fans guided us through a magical "local " route to the Etihad.....quite bizarre !!
Absolutely amazing place. Spent a couple of hours trying a fantastic selection of beers. I wasn't sure what to choose so Ceri (who is the best bar assistant ever) gave me some small tasters. Probably the best bar and member of staff in the whole of Manchester. Thank you Ceri ❤️
I am a big fan of the Picc Tap. Whilst they have a diverse range of beers, I invariably end up drinking Big Trip. ‘Coz it’s bloody good and always on. The decor is ‘retrutilitarian’ and funnily enough takes me back to ‘80s Dublin. Bus Áras. No idea why. But it works for me.
The thing I love most is the music. It’s always fantastic, eclectic; my knee taps, my head nods, and it makes me stay for another pint, and more. Staff are always great and it’s good value.
The Tap does however, need to update the hours on Google, so I know whether it’s worth coming in or not. I’m sat here on a Thursday night; Google says midnight closing and at 1030 they are turning away a LOT of people, in January! Anyway, that is but a minor gripe. Still love it.
It’s a great place to watch people hustling to, and dragging themselves from Piccadilly Station.
