TL;DR - Food and drink is still good, but tough to recommend any more…read more I've reviewed Brewdog before and have given them 4 stars. I've been plenty of times, but feel I've got to downgrade them now for a couple of reasons. Don't get me wrong, the food is still great and the selections of beers are great. The venue itself is really nice too... but the prices have been creeping up and up. But worst of all was my recent visit when five of us ordered our food within a couple of minutes of each other. Then one person's meal came and the others came 30 minutes later! No apologies from staff, no explanation, nothing offered in compensation. Really disappointing.

Made a stop at BrewDog while in Manchester. This place is on a busy street and they are pretty well…read moresituated to catch some of the visitors in town and/or locals working in the busy city center. Also not far from Manchester Central convention center, Bridgewater Hall, and several hotels in the area. Service: everyone was friendly. Amy was super helpful and made some solid recommendations for beer to match my preferences. Food: the food was good. Typical pub food I suppose based on what others with me ordered. The special of the month - a fried chicken burger - was really good and came with two big pieces of thighs. The only thing worth mentioning - It seems like they were out of sauces everywhere. I asked for a cup of bbq sauce and got a super small portion. The host mentioned then ran out. Then when I checked the tables for ketchup and hot sauce, several of the bottles were empty or close to it. Not the biggest deal - just something to mention.

I went on a Thursday at around 6.30pm and it was a little quiet but on the plus side we found somewhere to sit no problemo. This place serves up street food, drinks and beats (boom boom) Great for a balmy summer evening :) I love that they have covered seating areas in case it rains/for those that can't take the sun. I went for the jerk chicken with rice and peas from 'Jerk', £7 for a very decent sized portion. It wasn't the best chicken ever but the gravy that came with definitely upped the flavour and made the meal delicious. Rice and peas were nicely done, I just wish they did dumplings. My friend got a bagel plus fries and was very happy with her meal, the portion of fries were enough for two to share. Fun summer addition to Manchester's food scene.

I love it just as much as I thought I would…read more I'm so so happy something like this has opened up in Manchester, in my eyes it another 'take that London' and it's about time! You've got plenty of food options, though I was too full from my swine fries (cheers Bangers and Bacon) to really enjoy some more grub, and you've also got some cool drink options. I had a couple of pints of the Pilsner at Kozel LoKal and it went down a treat! Get yourself a spot on the deck chairs on a sunny evening and you'll find yourself not wanting to leave! Great option of quality street food and an overall top place to chill out!

I didn't get to try the food or even see the menu but there's an impressive looking kitchen so hope to return for that at some point (actually have now found menu online and as well as a grill they have a big sushi menu!!) Drinks wise, they had Antica Formula vermouth! The bartender had NO IDEA what it was or how to serve it but we quickly got the ice/lemon/appropriate glass sorted and although it might seem expensive at £4.50 for 50ml it's a good alternative to wine for an aperitif. Prosecco was £22 a bottle which wasn't bad either. I thought the ale selection was a little limited although and I couldn't work out what the microbrewery aspect was (curiously they only seem to have a wine menu even though they have an extensive amount of fancy sprits which you can't see properly). As the evening (Saturday) wore on it became increasingly busy and uncomfortable to sit at the bar with people bashing past you to get their order - they probably need to move some of those chairs on busy nights (/you might want to try another option - amazingly the market was actually quieter by that point!).

If you want a cosy, old-style boozer, avoid this place as it really caters for the discerning drinker and sports fans. All the customers seem knowledgeable about both and there are big screens for when any important games are on. As an "incomer" to this area, I was pleasantly surprised to find them watching Rugby Union on one occasion - a rarity in Warrington! The pub is extremely clean and well-looked after and the service is always excellent. The other half of the building is currently another bar, owned and run by the same people but specialising in music - still with a vast choice of drinks.

When he told me about the name of the pub (several times), I was enchanted. I had the fish and chips and much were very fish and chips. I am also a long time vegetarian trying to eat some fish. Failing miserably. The draft beer selections were the same as every other pub in London that I had tried. Found out in my next to last evening in England that Heineken controls the draft scene. I was searching for local, traditional British beer. Only one place in Oxford! I'll keep trying!! Delightful and charming brewpub or pub (again, American). Very homey feel to the restaurant/pub. The service was something. Fine but I enjoyed my experience thoroughly!

After walking for 8.5 miles we ended up back here where we had booked a table for dinner…read more Walking in we were led to a table right in front which was in a middle of a 3 way much to our dismay as people kept constantly walking past us. What I did see of the decor was nice. The majority of the waitresses were young and what I felt inexperienced . Asking us immediately what we wanted to drink without providing a menu and us having to enquire what the soup and pie of the day was. Drinks ordered I browsed the menu. It was just a lot of generic pub grub with not a lot of fish dishes. Saying that I did see some fish and chips get served that looked fab. I did find the menu a bit uninspiring but luckily I clocked the special board and saw the Strawberry Duck with bubble and squeak with garlic mash. Himself had the minted lamb pie and we shared chipolatas with mustard mayo. The starter was nice but forgettable...the mains were the star of the show. My duck was cooked to perfection and everything tasted fresh. The sauce was of perfect consistency and not too sweet. The mash could have done with more garlic but it was a fine dish especially while sipping yummy gooseberry gin. The minted lamb pie was rich and full of flavour with thick chips that were a little undercooked in the middle. To finish we had coffee as we were full. Overall I felt the service let it down a little, Asking if we want sauce when the starter was served with it, not asking how are food was in the beginning , not informing us about the specials etc and in the end we had to order Drinks at the bar as felt a bit neglected. It was nice to have a swift recommendation of what to have with the gin though and the bill was reasonable . Yes I would come back if I went for a walk in the area.

The Swan was sandwiched in between a few early pints in other bars to get us in the swing of things, while also keeping an eye on the clock to make sure we could get to a pub showing the Grand National later in the day - so in all honesty we didn't have more than an hour to hang around and smell the roses! What we did get from this warm and welcoming Leeds Brewery boozer was a flight of 3 thirds for £3.30 from any local breweries (6 to select from I think) and these were a great and good value way to enjoy a few beers and not get too tanked up! I also had a butchers sausage sandwich with home made chips which really hit the spot and was great value for sub-£5 A great suggestion from my friend and a place that although I probably wouldn't want to spend all afternoon in, was a great little find and somewhere I'll be hitting next time I'm in town!
