The Queens Arms, Manchester

Have visited this pub several times over the last twenty years or so, and have always rated it highly - great ales and a friendly welcome. However, a recent visit at the start of a Northern Quarter crawl was a huge disappointment. Of the three ales I tried, two were undrinkable. The last of these was bought in a round of seven pints. The Landlady? refused to change these, saying there was nothing wrong with the drink - but refused to taste it herself as she "doesn't drink the stuff". We left seven almost full pints on the table and went for some proper ale at the Marble Arch.
