The Bulls Head in Manchester

Ah, The Bulls Head – it's one of those reliable spots in Manchester that you stumble upon when you're near Piccadilly and fancy a pint without the fuss. I have to say, the beers are a real highlight; they've got a solid selection of cask ales that are kept just right, and if you're in for a Sunday roast, it's a proper winner – nice and hearty, just what you need after a wander around the city. The staff are absolute gems too; that landlady is as welcoming as they come, and the bar team work their socks off, making the whole vibe feel warm and genuine. It's dead handy being so close to the station, so if you're passing through, it's an easy choice for a quick drink. On the flip side, though, the toilets are a bit of a letdown – they're not up to scratch and could do with some TLC. And let's talk prices; that £4.55 for a small Budweiser feels a bit cheeky, especially when you know there are other places nearby that might offer better value. Overall, it's a decent shout for a laid-back pint with mates, but if you're after something more polished, you might want to explore a little further. Still, I'd pop in again for the atmosphere alone – it's got that authentic pub spirit that's hard to beat.
