The Queen Vic in Denton

Ah, The Queen Vic – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Manchester. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this warm, inviting vibe that's perfect for kicking back with a drink after a long day. The live entertainment on weekends, with DJs and karaoke, really stands out – it's clear folks love the music and the atmosphere it creates. Plus, the drinks are sensibly priced, and there's a good range of beers on tap, which is always a win in my book. The staff come across as genuinely friendly, adding to that homely feel. On the flip side, though, it's a shame it's only open late on Fridays and Saturdays; if you're out mid-week, you might find yourself heading home earlier than planned. And it does seem to draw in an older crowd, so if you're after something more energetic, it might not be your first choice. Overall, it's a decent spot with a solid 4.3 rating, but I'd say it's best for those evenings when you fancy a bit of nostalgia and good company without the hustle and bustle.
