Right outside the giant mall of Edinburgh. The outdoor area is sick. The indoor pub is sick. One of two historical pubs framing a little square behind one of Manchester's main shopping areas. If you turn your back to Harvey Nichols and Selfridges you can pretend to be in a medieval market town. Thousands of patrons drinking ales and being sociable. Strangers chatting-it-up with locals, taking smack. Love it. Not one cell phone in sight, everyone's yappin, face-to-face. Dayum, I'll be back soon
Great little hidden gem in Manchester, England. Friendly and cozy atmosphere with great bartenders. And - they have a little hotel built into the place with reasonable rates!
Always a hit with its spacious beer garden, and fantastically whimsical interior. Surprisingly cheap pints smack in the middle of City Centre, many a much-needed break from Arndale shopping has ended up here. On a sunny day the garden will be packed full with people, but even on a rainy evening this pub has great atmosphere. It isn't for the claustrophobic with the low ceiling (watch your head through the doorways!) and narrow staircase, but the ambiance makes you quickly feel at home.
great little pub! Awesome atmosphere & cheap pints... one note: BRING CASH!!! They stop serving food pretty early (I'd say no later than 4, maybe earlier) and after that it is cash only. I felt so bad because I went in there and ordered a pint before I knew...stupid American! Luckily a nice local gentleman next to me paid for my beer. There was a very interesting/funny crowd of local men in there and the bartenders were quite friendly. I would highly recommend this place to come and get royally pissed for cheap! The restaurant next door (recommended by the bartender) was great too (they do take credit). So if you are in Manchester, check this place out....but don't be an idiot like me; BRING CASH!
Oh, Sinclair's. How excellent and awesome are you? Let me Yelp the ways... First off, this place looks fantastic. Look at the pictures! Maybe most people going to a pub could probably give a toss about how it looks on the outside as long as the drinks are good and the service is decent, but Sinclair's gives you great aesthetic in and out. Right in the middle of all the new, typically modern buildings of city centre you've got this excellent, old-world style pub that's just oozing character. The outdoor patio is spacious too! What could be better? Well, how about the inside? SInclair's interior is all dark woods, nook-and-cranny rooms everywhere, fireplaces, and embossed wallpaper. It feels a little like the "Clue" movie mansion meets Swiss Family Robinson treehouse meets classic English pub. And I risk sounding too overenthusiastic and cheesy when I say that I can't get enough of it, but truly, I can't get enough of it. Too bad I'm always showing up later in the day and getting kicked out of the upstairs as they're shutting it down. I suppose I'll just have to start boozing it up earlier in the day so I can soak up all that atmosphere as my liver soaks up all that beer. Hehe. As a Yank residing in Britland, the exchange rate between the weak-as-hell dollar and the stronger-than-thou pound is always at the forefront of my mind. Not so at Sinclair's, where I can get a tasty pint for just £1.50 - a price that even this broke bint can afford! That's probably the best bit about this place is how cheap it is for such quality ales and lagers. And that's probably why it draws such a huge crowd on most days. I've stuck to a strictly liquid diet on my adventures at Sinclair's, so I've got nowt to say about the food here...wait a minute, is there food? Are there oysters? I can't stand oysters anyway, so for all you Walrus's and Carpenter's wondering if the oyster bed is tasty or not, please refer to other more thorough Yelp reviews about Sinclair's, and I apologize for my ignorance (and distaste) to the subject. Anyway, Sinclair's is not to be missed if you're looking for a great place to park it for a while and enjoy a frothy pint at a nice price. Check them out; you'll be happy you did! Maybe even as happy as I am! Hehehe.
