Manchester Pubs .....fave and worst.

Our Favourite is quite a few
We have a penchant for Waves ex fridays when they do Karoke afternoons.
But even when they dont it's brilliant and they do good priced meals and drinks
And thay have a good jukebox.
And everyone I have spoke to in there have been superlative folk and enjoyed their comapny
And get this I have never been stabbed in there.

My next favourite is shambles because it is the home of Taddies
I adore Tadcaster lager and it adores me
And the price adores everyone !
I also like Lllyods because it does what is says on the tin

I dislike any of the chop houses that have you over for a fat lad
I once ordred off St Annes square two shep pies and two pints and thay said £34 !
I could not eat the shep pie because I was fisically trembling.. ..
I do not like any chop house at all now...
Chop houses think they have the god given right to pop there index finger where they really shouldn't !
The emporers clothes and all that

Out of curiosity, are card games dying out in the pubs over there, too. Rare to see anybody under the age of forty, playing cards in a pub, around here (Limerick), these days.

(Sorry for hijacking the thread. Hardly worth starting a new one for something so trivial).
 
Everyone bemoans a pub closing but if they were making money then landlords would keep them open. The pubs need to find other sources of revenue but punters need to use them too. A good local or two was an absolute godsend when I moved down to London for work. I knew nobody and it took the initiative of getting out there and talking to people to make life more bearable!

The Crown and Anchor in town is a personal favourite of mine. I also really appreciate The Waldorf putting a coach on before home matches. Every fucker on there is pissed. It's great.

The pub was once the principal way that people could interact with others outside their families and workplace. That is no longer the case; Bluemoon being a case in point. There are a number of ancillary factors that point to their decline, not least the price differentials between supermarkets and pubs: a generation ago it was 2:1, it's probably nearer 4:1 now, which has changed the nation's drinking habits, as have the drink driving laws, the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Health Act 2006, which introduced the smoking ban. Nothing in our society has been immune to the social changes which have swept the nation since 1976, the 'peak year' for beer volumes. Look how much football has changed in that time, for example. More immigration and a decline in our manufacturing base are other changes over that period which have undermined the pub.

They won't disappear though. We're a nation of inveterate drinkers. There's still a good living to be made for people who tick enough boxes, but the days of just opening the doors and waiting for the customers to pour in are long gone.

Looking for a bit of help, Didn't want to start a new thread do thought I'd ask here.
Looking for a few pubs to go to in Manchester (I live in Ireland) I go over regularly but always seem to find myself going to the same pubs when I go over, So looking for somewhere new in town to have a few pints, I'm staying over for the Everton game so if anybody can recommend somewhere good to go after the game I'd appreciate it. Was in TIGER TIGER a few times but never stayed for a while was only in for a few, What's that like?
Cheers folks.

Thats not a pub. Its a 'bar', part of an identikit chain.
