The Northern Type in Salford

Ah, The Northern Type – it's one of those hidden gems in Eccles that really stands out for anyone who's into their craft beers and ciders. From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, they've got an incredible lineup of brews from independent producers, always changing and full of surprises, which makes every visit feel fresh and exciting. The staff come across as genuinely friendly and chatty, creating that laid-back vibe where you can relax with friends or even fly solo without feeling out of place. It's got a solid 4.7 rating, with most people absolutely loving the quality and the welcoming feel, like Sarah and Joshua who couldn't stop praising the beers and the overall experience. On the flip side, though, it's not the cheapest spot – those craft prices add up, and if you're after something straightforward like a cheap lager, you might be better off elsewhere. Plus, with varying opening times and a focus on the craft crowd, it might not suit everyone, but for us beer lovers, it's well worth a visit for that authentic, community-driven charm. All in all, I'd say give it a go if you're in Manchester; it's a proper spot for sharing a pint and discovering something new, but just keep those expectations balanced for the best time.
