City pubs.

You must be bloody quick mate. I live next to those pubs and it takes me closer to half an hour.

Can do it in 20 from SS315 to Cask2. I do cut through though.

You're not missing anything, that pub is a depressing sh#thole at the best of times, and quite a few local rags use it.

A few years back i had a mate who ran that pub for a couple of years, and he was upstairs washing his pots one day, looked out of his kitchen window, and saw two young towrags nicking his car off the pub carpark!!

I was told some time ago to avoid it... and I have

Pheasant.

I'm a Camra & real ale man and some of the 'flavoured' beers are superb.....Marble Ginger for example !!

Ha, I was half joking mate.

But I’d just come in from night out with a pal who took me to a taproom and it seemed like every beer I tried was a headless grapefruit-aromad new IPA of some sort!

I was really pining for a draught Bass or Marstons Pedigree by the end of the night, and I happened to chance on that post of @aka blue jambo when I’d got back. I’m sure the Ginger beer you mentioned is lovely though ;-)

The Gibraltar is seen in these two 1964 photos as a Wilsons house on the corner of Bower Street and Grimshaw Lane, just off Oldham Road in Newton Heath. Pictured more recently below in 1985 thanks to the ManMates Facebook page [1], it was still known as the Gibraltar until Manchester City moved from Moss Side to Bradford in 2003. The landlord did what a number of pubs around the City of Manchester Stadium did, and changed its name to commemorate the development (or more likely, try to attract match day custom), to the Kippax (after the huge old terrace at Maine Road).

My grandad grew up around there, and that was grandad's local in the 50's. Sadly he was a rag (my dad always said that's why we buried him) and I expect he was spinning the day they renamed it The Kippax :-)

It’s been a while since I’ve been back in Manchester but I always enjoyed a pint or two in the City Arms, Kennedy street.

Two cracking pubs side by side, The City & The Vine. Wetherspoons makes it three if you’re into them.

Only slight issue on match days is, probably because of their proximity to St. Peters Sq. they can get totally rammed.

There was quite a lot of lot of City fans in Mulligans, off Bridge Street, before the last home game, which surprised me as its pretty much got a reputation as being somethin' of a rag pub ..... plus the Guinness is 7-50 a pint now.
