Mr Thomas' Chop House, Manchester

A very nice pub if i'm honest, yes they've tried to emphasise on the food side of the trade but a lot of pubs have since the smoking ban, it's definitley not a reason to winge. The food that i saw being brought out looked very appetising and the smell from the kitchen was fantastic

Now for the important bit, The Beer, yes it tasred good and no, it wasn't the cheapest pint in Manchester but you get what you pay for, a well looked after beer an a city centre pub. I hate to say it but if you drink in a city centre pub, you must expect to pay city centre prices, and comparing the prices to other pubs around it, you couldn't got it much cheaper anywhere nearby!

The Sawyers Arms, Deansgate

Looks like a nice old boozer from the outside but once you walk in you can tell they've tried to update it, some say it's good, some bad. The beer was average to be fair, i've had better and i've had a lot worse. My only real grumble is that although they had Sports news on, which i do like to watch while supping a cheeky afternoon beverage, i don't think the whole pub wanted to hear it and they could've turned the volume down a little or tried to isolate it to one area of the pub!

The Knott Bar, Deansgate

CAMRA manchester pub of the year 2009 and rightly so, a good variety of real ales on, good selection of bottled beers, some you'll know and a few you won't. Again, this was an afternoon visit so i can't comment on how busy this place gets but i'm guessing by previous reviews that it's very popular, which you can easily see why. I'll definitely be visiting here again next time i visit Manchester
