• "Great atmosphere but may St Patrick take pity on you should you need to empty your bladder. The dirtiest, smallest toilets in Manchester award goes to this place."
• "Use the earplugs, you're gonna need them. A bit tricky to find, and not exactly the 'deluxe' room we thought we had booked - we did expect some noise being in such as good location but rolling barrels up and down at 5am onwards, bottles crashing all night and even the fridge going at it!"
• "This place is dangerous.. if you go here you'll probably forget how you got home and wake up with a kebab in your kitchen."

• "Best guinness in manchester? Yeah fair enough, £6.70 a pop though."
• "Even more expensive now (feels like cashing in on cost of living)."

• "Drinks are very expensive."
