93/100
Maltdog Boothstown is a real hidden gem in Manchester, where you'll find top-notch drinks, live music, and a warm welcome that keeps folks raving about it.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of drinks, from local ales and lagers to low-alcohol options and cracking cocktails like the espresso martini – perfect for all tastes.
  • Brilliant live music scene that really supports local artists, making every visit feel lively and special.
  • Friendly and attentive staff who greet you with a smile and provide exceptional service, adding to the welcoming vibe.

Areas for Improvement

The Colliers in Manchester is a cracking community pub with a warm, friendly feel, great value drinks, and live sports galore, though it can get packed and lacks food options.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's a welcoming, community-focused spot that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The bar staff are brilliant; they're friendly, efficient, and really add to that cosy, local vibe.
  • Drinks are fantastic value, with well-kept real ales and unbeatable offers that won't break the bank – perfect for a casual night out.
  • It's clean, comfy, and has been nicely refurbished, making it a proper traditional pub that's a cut above the rest.
  • They've got live sports on HD screens, including football, rugby, and more, so it's ideal if you're up for watching the game with a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • It doesn't serve food, which is a shame if you're after a bite to eat with your drink – you'll have to pop elsewhere for that.
  • Things can get a bit too busy on Fridays and Saturdays, turning it into a lively hub that might feel a tad overwhelming at times.
  • It's still finding its feet compared to some mid-range locals, so while it's solid, it might not have all the bells and whistles just yet.

Under new management, beers ok, same punters from down the Pits along with same tables and chairs. Decent enough but not quite running with the mid range local pubs yet.

Probably the nicest comfiest pub I've been in. It's a bit too busy Friday and Saturday, but all that means is it's a victim of its own success. The landlord is fantastic

Queens Arms is a cosy Manchester gem blending traditional pub vibes with a fresh Japanese flair, offering top-notch food and drinks in a welcoming setting.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in
  • The food is a brilliant Japanese twist on pub grub – think fresh, crispy tempura and flavoursome dishes that pair perfectly with a pint
  • They've got a great selection of drinks, including award-winning lagers, premium spirits, and even Japanese sake and gins for something a bit different
  • The pub's spacious and keeps its original charm while feeling modern, with dog-friendly areas that make it welcoming for everyone
  • It's conveniently located near Patricroft train station with free parking, and the atmosphere is spot on for a relaxed catch-up with mates or family
Areas for Improvement
  • A couple of dishes, like the wings, might not pack as much spice as some folks would like, leaving a bit to be desired for those who crave heat
  • Table reservations are only held for 15 minutes, which could be a tad frustrating if you're running late on a busy night

Wangies is a hidden gem in Eccles with a lively, friendly vibe and great music, though it's worth noting the occasional hiccup with staff attitudes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely cracking, with live music and a top-notch jukebox that keeps the energy high and makes for a memorable night out.
  • Staff are generally lovely and welcoming, creating that warm, community feel that makes you want to come back for another pint.
  • It's a budget-friendly spot, so you can enjoy a good range of drinks without worrying about the wallet – perfect for a casual get-together.
  • The regulars add to the charm, fostering a real sense of belonging, especially if you're into that alternative, goth-inspired vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be a bit of a strict dress code in play, as one review mentioned getting turned away for wearing cycling gear, which felt a tad unwelcoming.
  • Service might not always hit the mark, with that same experience highlighting some rudeness that could put a dampener on things.

The Walkden Bar is a cracking little spot for fish and chips in Manchester, with top-notch food and friendly vibes that make it a go-to for a relaxed meal, though watch out for the occasional slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot on – think fresh, generous portions of fish and chips, plus some cracking salt and pepper ribs that folks rave about.
  • Service is super quick and the staff are lovely and friendly, making you feel right at home every time.
  • It's reasonably priced, so you get great value without breaking the bank, which is always a win for a casual night out.
  • They've got a high rating overall, with loads of positive feedback, and it's open on Mondays, which is handy if you're after a mid-week treat.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was that unfortunate mix-up with a vegetarian order that turned out to have chicken in it, which could really put someone off if they're strict about their diet.
  • The place seems to have some inconsistencies, like the odd service hiccup mentioned in reviews, even if it's not the norm.
  • No website means it's a bit tricky to check menus or hours online, so you might end up winging it when you fancy a visit.

The Royal Hotel is a hidden gem of a pub in Farnworth – think cracking home-cooked food, a warm and friendly crowd, and a solid 4.7 rating that speaks for itself.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely top-notch – it's all home-cooked, with standout Sunday lunches and homemade pies that are fresh and full of flavour, all at excellent value for money.

  • It's got a great selection of drinks, and the overall vibe is relaxed and enjoyable, perfect for a casual lunch or a pint with mates.

Areas for Improvement
  • Lunchtimes can get really busy, especially for their popular food service from 12 to 2 PM, so you might need to arrive early to snag a table.
  • There's no website or online presence to speak of, which makes it a bit tricky to check the menu or get more details before heading over.
  • The business isn't claimed on Google, so updates might not be as reliable, and it could mean missing out on some modern conveniences like online booking.

  • The food is an absolute delight – fresh, locally-sourced ingredients make every dish feel special, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options to suit all tastes.
  • The service is warm and enthusiastic, delivered by dedicated students who are clearly passionate about hospitality, making you feel right at home.

Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open a few days a week, mainly Sundays, which can make it tricky to pop in spontaneously.
  • As it's run by students, the service might occasionally feel a bit nervous or inconsistent, though that's part of its charm.
  • With limited hours and high demand, booking ahead is essential, and you might miss out if you're not quick off the mark.
  • The overall selection is more focused on fine dining rather than a classic pub vibe, so it might not hit the spot if you're after a casual pint and snacks.

  • With no website available, it's harder to get the latest updates or details online, so you might need to call ahead.
  • While the reviews we have are glowing, the overall rating suggests there could be some mixed experiences that aren't fully captured here.

Kings Arms Hotel is a welcoming pub in Farnworth with friendly hosts and comfy rooms, making it a great spot for a relaxed stay, though it could do with more up-to-date info.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The owners, Joan and Alan, are absolute gems – they're super friendly and always go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, which really adds to the homely vibe.
  • The rooms are spotlessly clean and surprisingly well-equipped, with handy touches like a kitchen area, fridge, microwave, and even an iron, making stays feel comfortable and practical.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere for a pint and a chat; you can enjoy a game of pool and a great selection of real ale, plus some tasty food options throughout the day.
  • Plenty of visitors rave about the value for money, especially for longer stays, with comfy beds and strong showers that make it a solid choice for a budget-friendly getaway.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website is a bit of a letdown – it's sparse and doesn't offer much detail, which might leave you scratching your head when trying to find out more before visiting.
  • There's no info on operating hours, so it could be a faff to figure out when you can pop in, and that 'closed' status is a tad concerning – best to double-check before heading over.
  • With no recent reviews to speak of, it's hard to tell if things are still as tip-top as they were a few years back, which might mean the place has lost a bit of its sparkle lately.

Boundary Stone is a proper cosy local in Ellenbrook, offering brilliant food, warm vibes, and a welcoming spot for a pint or family meal without breaking the bank.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is absolutely spot on – quick service, tasty dishes like burgers and bangers and mash, and it's all well-priced for a great value night out.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere, with a peaceful vibe inside, live sports on the telly, and a lovely beer garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun with mates.
  • Family-friendly setup with a kids' menu full of classics, making it easy for a relaxed meal with the little ones.
  • Loads of community spirit and special offers, like 30% off mains, plus it's a hub for watching big sports events with a lively crowd.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's currently listed as closed, so you'll need to double-check the opening times before heading over to avoid disappointment.
  • From what I've seen, the menu sticks to pub classics without much variety, which might not excite those after something a bit more adventurous.

The Woodside is a delightful country pub in Manchester, offering warm hospitality, tasty grub, and a cosy vibe that's perfect for unwinding with friends or family.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty classics like puy lentil cottage pie and Sunday lunches that offer great value, leaving you feeling well satisfied.
  • The staff are a real highlight; they're incredibly welcoming and professional, with servers like Janet adding that personal touch that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's a charming spot with a homely atmosphere, complete with beautiful gardens, crackling log fires, and even dog-friendly areas, making it ideal for a relaxing outing in a historic setting.
  • The location near rivers, canals, and nature reserves is brilliant for a post-meal stroll, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a bonus when you're out and about.
Areas for Improvement
  • As it's a popular traditional pub, it can get quite busy, especially on weekends or for events, so you might want to book ahead to avoid any waiting around.
  • With moderate prices, it might feel a bit steep if you're planning a long session with drinks, though the quality makes it worthwhile for most.

The Horseshoe is a charming historic pub with a welcoming vibe and tasty grub, but watch out for the occasional service slip-ups that might leave you wanting more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Horseshoe has such a rich history, dating back 300 years, and it's in a brilliant spot right by the River Irwell, making it ideal for a relaxing pint after a scenic walk.
  • The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, always ready with a smile and a chat, which really adds to that cosy pub feel.
  • They serve up delicious homecooked food that's locally sourced – the menu has a great variety of pub classics that hit the spot every time.
  • The beer garden is a real gem, well-maintained and perfect for enjoying a drink outdoors, especially on a sunny day after exploring the nearby trails.
  • There's a lively events scene with things like quiz nights and folk groups, which makes it a fun spot to catch up with mates or meet new faces.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit inconsistent at times, with some folks mentioning long waits for food or the odd mix-up with orders, which puts a damper on the experience.
  • Recent visits have shown it's not always hitting the mark, with a few complaints about getting squeezed into awkward spots or not feeling looked after properly.
  • It might not be the best choice if you're after a quick bite, as things can drag on, leaving you a tad frustrated when you're hoping for a smooth evening.

  • Drinks are incredibly affordable, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly night out.
  • The staff and bouncers are top-notch; they're chatty and make everyone feel right at home, even if you're new to the place.

Areas for Improvement

  • No website or online presence means it's tricky to check details or book ahead, which could be a hassle in this digital age.

Unit 21 in Manchester is a hidden gem for hosting lively events, with friendly service and a great vibe, but it's currently closed and lacks easy online details.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

The Jolly Carter is a welcoming local pub in Bolton with some cracking Sunday roasts and a buzzing vibe, but it's let down by steep prices and inconsistent food quality – worth a try if you're in the area, just keep expectations in check.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday roast is absolutely top-notch and offers great value for money, making it a real winner for a traditional meal out.
  • The staff are brilliant, especially when they're handling a busy bar and still getting food out quickly – it's impressive to see.
  • It has a lively atmosphere, particularly on Friday evenings, and the drinks are reasonably priced, which keeps things enjoyable.
  • There's a good variety of food options that seem to please most folks, with plenty of choices across the menu.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices have shot up and feel more like a high-end restaurant than a cosy pub, which can be a real shock for simple dishes like sausages and mash.
  • The menu's become quite minimal, so you might not find as many options as you'd hope for a standard pub grub experience.
  • Food quality has taken a dip in some cases, with reports of burnt items like paninis that just aren't up to scratch, leaving you disappointed and still peckish.
  • It seems the place has gone downhill overall, based on recent visits, so it might not live up to its reputation every time.

  • Drinks are reasonably priced, with a decent selection of ales, wines, and spirits that won't break the bank.
  • It's got a great vibe with live music, karaoke, and a DJ on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays – perfect for a fun night out.
  • The pub has been recently refurbished, offering loads of seating and an outdoor patio for when the weather's nice.
  • There's a brilliant jukebox with some cracking tunes, adding to the lively feel of the place.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer selection could do with more variety, especially when it comes to lagers – it's a bit lacking for those who prefer them.
  • Without a website or phone number listed, it's not the easiest spot to get info on in advance, which might put some off.
  • While it's open all hours, the overall buzz might not always be there, depending on the day, as it can feel a tad quiet at times.

The Barton Arms is a charming pub in Worsley that's spot on for a laid-back meal with mates or family, boasting friendly service and a cosy vibe, though it has its off moments with food consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always helpful, friendly, and quick to make recommendations, with folks like Lauren, Yas, and Josh getting special mentions for their top-notch service.
  • It's a fantastic spot for family gatherings or a casual meal; the food is generally tasty and great value, with options for kids, vegetarians, vegans, and even a Sunday roast menu.
  • The atmosphere is really cosy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed drink or fun events like the quiz nights, which sound like a blast based on the lively feedback.
  • Convenient location near the M60 makes it easy to pop in, and it's pet-friendly too, so you can bring your furry mates along.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; some dishes didn't live up to expectations, like a festive roast that was a bit underwhelming compared to the price.
  • There have been a few slip-ups with orders, such as getting the wrong meal or dealing with a cracked glass, which puts a damper on the experience.
  • It's not always spot-on for everyone – a couple of reviews mentioned it tasting better on the menu than in reality, so it might not wow you every time.

Areas for Improvement

  • Parking might be a tad tricky at times, as it's reserved for visitors and could feel a bit restrictive.
  • Occasional minor delays, like with certain dishes, might pop up, though the team does apologise and handle it well.

84/100
Farmhouse Kitchen in Worsley is a welcoming, family-oriented spot with tasty food and attentive service, but watch out for the occasional queues that come with its popularity.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome, like having a chat with the team while you're there.
  • The food is spot on, especially the carvery and vegetarian options – plenty of hearty portions that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank.
  • It's a brilliant spot for families, with things like indoor and outdoor play areas, making it easy to bring the little ones along.
  • The place is clean, spacious, and has great facilities like a car park, disabled access, and even EV charging, so it's hassle-free to visit.
  • They've got some lovely deals and offers, like affordable afternoon teas, which add a nice touch of luxury to a casual outing.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, leading to queues for drinks, ordering food, and even waiting for the carvery, which might put a dampener on things.
  • Sometimes the wait times for seating or your meal can feel a bit long, especially if you're popping in for a quick bite.
  • While it's generally well-run, a few tweaks could make the flow smoother, as it's not always the most efficient experience.

The New Inn is a cracking little pub in Manchester with a friendly vibe, affordable drinks, and some great entertainment, though there might be a few bumps with management changes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's warm, welcoming, and has that classic old-school pub feel that makes you want to stay for another round.
  • Staff are super friendly and quick with service, which really makes for a pleasant visit every time.
  • Prices are reasonable and drinks are cheap, so it's easy on the wallet for a night out.
  • They've got live bands on the weekends, which adds a brilliant buzz and turns it into a proper lively spot.
  • There's a great beer garden that's perfect for sunnier days, and an excellent pool table in a separate room for some fun games with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pub's operating status seems a bit unclear right now, with mentions of it going under new management, so it might not be as stable as we'd hope.
  • No website or phone number listed makes it tricky to check what's on or get in touch if you need to.
  • While the reviews are mostly glowing, there aren't many recent ones, so it's hard to get the full picture of how things are going lately.

The Moss Rose is a charming little pub in Bolton with a warm, friendly atmosphere and plenty of entertainment, though it might not suit late-night plans or food lovers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a great selection of beers, including some non-alcoholic options, which is perfect if you're driving or just taking it easy.
  • Loads of fun activities on offer, like a pool table, dart board, live sports screenings, and even live music events that keep things lively.
  • Plenty of outside seating and parking, ideal for a sunny day or if you're popping in with your furry friend.
  • It's a clean, well-run spot with events like the Sunday quiz that add a real community vibe, and it's great for celebrations.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be hitches with some events, like open mic nights where not everyone gets a turn, which could leave you a bit disappointed.
  • Food options aren't really highlighted – I didn't spot any menus, so it might not be the go-to place if you're after a proper meal.
  • The closing times seem a tad early for a pub, wrapping up around 4 PM typically, which could cut your evening short.
  • No website means it's trickier to check out what's on or get more details before you head over.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • Friendly and attentive staff who add a welcoming touch, like getting a shamrock on your Guinness
  • Solid food and drink quality for the price, with highlights like perfectly done toast and chargrilled bacon
Areas for Improvement
  • A few wobbly tables in the beer garden that can make things a tad unsteady and spoil the vibe
  • Some dishes feel a bit plain, like the burgers that could do with a bit more flavour to liven them up
  • Staff can be on the quiet side at times, which might leave you wanting a bit more chat and engagement
  • It's your standard Wetherspoons experience, so if you're after something unique, it might not quite hit the mark

The John Gilbert in Worsley is a charming pub with a warm, family-friendly vibe, where the food and service shine, making it a top pick for a relaxed meal or catch-up with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • The food is spot on, with delicious options like stacked burgers, crispy fish and chips, and a standout Sunday roast that keeps everyone coming back for more.
  • It's a brilliant spot for families or special occasions, with a welcoming atmosphere, dog-friendly vibes, and even private rooms for events like christenings.
  • Set in a lovely picturesque village, complete with a beer garden and handy facilities like WiFi and parking, it's perfect for a relaxed day out or evening unwind.
  • They've got some great deals, like lunch specials and seasonal twists on classics, which add a fun element to your visit without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be a few small niggles, like the occasional lack of decaf coffee, which could disappoint if you're after a caffeine-free option.
  • While the overall rating is solid, some visits might not hit the mark every time, as not every review is glowing – it's worth checking for consistency.
  • Portions can be generous, meaning things might disappear quickly, but that could leave you wanting a bit more variety in certain dishes.
  • Opening hours are fairly standard, but if you're hoping for late-night options on weekdays, it closes a tad early compared to busier spots.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking atmosphere, especially when big sports events like the Women's Euros are on – perfect for catching the action with mates.
  • Food comes out quickly and there's plenty of great choices, like that beef and ale pie which sounds spot on.
  • It's got some lovely facilities, including a beer garden that's been spruced up, and it's dog-friendly and family-oriented.
  • Overall, it's good value for money, with honest pricing that won't break the bank for a solid pub meal and a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • Sometimes the little details slip, like serving beer in the wrong glasses or running out of ice, which can put a dampener on things.
  • Tables don't always get cleared promptly, so you might end up with a cluttered spot after a while.
  • The service can feel a bit lackadaisical at times, like staff not going the extra mile for simple fixes.
  • A few recent gripes suggest it might not always live up to expectations, especially on busier nights.
  • As a Greene King spot, it has that chain feel, which means it might lack a bit of that unique, cosy local charm.

Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times for food can be a bit of a drag, especially when it's not too busy, leaving you twiddling your thumbs longer than you'd like.
  • The quality of the food isn't always consistent – some dishes might turn out bland or overcooked, which is a shame after all that anticipation.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of Joseph Holt beers, along with wines and spirits, plus some cracking special offers like Fizz Friday to keep things affordable.
  • It's a proper community spot with loads of entertainment on offer – think pool, darts, live music, discos, karaoke, and even live sports on the TVs, complete with a free hot dog at half-time.
  • The heated outdoor area is a lovely touch for when the weather's playing ball, and they've got a separate space for functions and parties, which is spot on for celebrations.
  • It's child-friendly until 9pm and has disabled access, so it's accessible for everyone looking to pop in for a relaxed pint or gathering.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few instances where service wasn't up to scratch, like reports of a hostile welcome or staff enjoying a drink while on duty, which can put a dampener on the evening.
  • Families might find it tricky as children have to leave by 9pm, so it's not ideal for late-night outings with the little ones.
  • The opening times start a bit late on weekdays (from 1pm), which means it's not great if you're after a cheeky morning pint or an early meet-up.
  • Some reviews mentioned issues with facilities, like bathroom access, which could be a minor nuisance on busier nights.

The Moorings is a welcoming canal-side pub in Boothstown that's ideal for a relaxed drink or bite, with plenty of charm, though it has a few niggles that keep it from being flawless.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location by the canal is absolutely spot on – perfect for soaking up the sun with a pint and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the views.
  • It's super family and dog-friendly, with thoughtful touches like water bowls for pups and fun extras such as a pool table and board games to keep everyone entertained.

  • The staff are friendly and attentive, and it's a brilliant place to watch live sports with a cosy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food portions can be a tad on the small side, so you might find yourself wanting a bit more after your meal.
  • Service can sometimes feel stretched, like when there's only one person handling things, which might mean a bit of a wait during busier times.
  • While recent feedback has been glowing, the overall rating sits at 3.9, suggesting it might not hit the mark for everyone depending on what you're after.

  • The bar staff are really friendly and polite, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Drinks are relatively cheap, which is a nice touch for keeping things affordable on a night out.
  • They've got good food and great beer on offer, perfect for a satisfying meal with your mates.
  • It's welcoming to families, with kids allowed, so it's a versatile spot for all sorts.
  • There's plenty of TVs for catching the latest sports action, plus a lovely beer garden for enjoying a sunny day.
Areas for Improvement
  • The atmosphere can feel a bit dead at times, like it's not buzzing with energy when you'd hope.
  • It might get quite cold inside, which isn't ideal for settling in with a pint on a chilly evening.
  • Food quality isn't always spot on – some have complained about a disappointing breakfast buffet that was sparse and underwhelming.
  • It's apparently the most expensive pub in the area, which could make you think twice before heading there regularly.
