Service
Pros:
"Friendly staff, a little longer wait for food than I was hoping but it was worth it when I tasted the juicy burger and the skin-on fries which were so nice they didn't need sauce."
"Friendly and efficient service, lovely vibe in a mixed setting."
"The staff was lovely, helpful and funny."
"Staff were great, barman knew his stuff and pints were great!"
"Staff were friendly, venue was clean, pints were great and food came out quick."
"Staff really good friendly place has a upstairs which is open for gigs definitely a place to visit."
"Staff are exceptional and went the extra mile with their service."
Cons:
"Took 40 minutes for our food to be ready, we ended up having to leave before we could eat it as we had somewhere to be."
"Worst service I’ve had in a long time."
"Poor customer service from white male bartender."
"They were chronically understaffed."
"Staff repeatedly overlook people who have arrived at the bar earlier than others."
"Lovely pub but the customer service from 2 males there was disgusting."
"The staff are friendly however on my last visit were slow and forgetful."
Accessibility
Pros:
"Split on 2 levels with steps so lower part not wheelchair accessible upper part one small step with a ramp this is used more for live music than just a bar can accommodate person who is on sticks or can mobilise on their own."
"Set back from the main road (Crescent) the tables outside sit next to the river and are shielded from traffic."
Cons:
"The steep access stairway might be an issue for disabled people with mobility issues."
"We were looking forward to going in for food however we found it wasn't wheelchair friendly."
"After checking and confirming on Google maps to see that this place was wheelchair accessible, I drove my daughter who has an electric chair so she could meet up with a friend. The building is about 20ft below the car park with steps to every entrance. It is completely inaccessible for wheelchair users."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Amazing spot with beautified view of the river and great food, when the sun's out it becomes the most amazing place to be!"
"It is such a beautiful scenery, you overlook a canal, and the drinks are really good!"
"The Old Pint Pot is nestled away amongst the trees overlooking the River Irwell making it a nice place to go for a drink on a sunny day."
"The atmosphere is great, casual vibes but still very clean."
"Brilliant local pub with a vibrant atmosphere and a beautiful scenic overlook over the canal."
"When I went it had nice atmosphere and nice drinks."
"The surroundings are relaxing and friendly."
Cons:
"Formerly quirky and charming riverside pub sullied by a new refurb which has unfortunately stripped it of much of its character."
"Bit of a grotty student pub (and I’m only just not a student)."
"Awful atmosphere in this student pub."
"The building looks like it has seen better days."
"A run down pub in a beautiful spot overlooking the river irwell. This pub could be great it's in desperate need of refurbishment."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"Food is tasty and fresh."
"Enjoyed the beers and burgers. Catered well for meat eaters and veggies."
"Friendly staff, between us we had the Cheese on Malted Bloomer, Buttermilk Chicken Gujons on Malted Bloomer, both come with chips, and have to say that they were very tasty chips."
"The food was absolutely delicious."
"The burger itself was pretty good though."
"The food was excellent. I would recommend the Ultimate Burgers for all the burger fans out there."
"All the beers I tried were well looked after and tasted great."
Cons:
"The food is questionable at best and the boss is grumpy."
"Purchased two sharers (veggie chilli nachos and cauliflower wings) both very small portion sizes and bad value for money."
"Food was way over cooked, onion rings nothing like anything on earth and the lettuce was off, flat and tasted bad."
"Food took more than 40 min to arrive and when it did was awful."
"Food was poor, one person had 6 chips while another had about 30. Chicken over cooked an grey."
"The burger which I order was dry, stale and the cheese had melted to non-existence."
"Ordered burger, burger came but they were out of the stuff that was special about the burger, basically was a normal one but I still paid for the one with extra stuff on it."
Value
Pros:
"Very cheap for Manchester and would be even better if they cut back bushes a bit outside to get a better view of the river."
"Drinks are about the right price but would like to see soft drinks a little cheaper for the none drinkers and them that drive."
"Favorite pub in Salford. Monday is 2-for-1 burgers, which comes to about £3.50 each (normally £6-8) which is a steal because the burgers here are GREAT."
"Add the cheapest prices in Salford and you'll see why it gets 5 stars."
"Beers are so reasonably priced its unreasonable!"
"Solid food and great selection of drinks at reasonable prices."
Cons:
"They only thing that let's the place down is the toilets. They are awful there is hardly ever loo roll, really need updating."
"However the portion size of sharers for how much they charge is not good value for money."
"Although they were a little expensive, at £7 for a double g'n't - maybe the rhubarb gin was a pricey choice, or maybe the prices are always harsh - can't comment as was first visit."
"Slightly expensive on the wine (£7.00 a large glass) for being in 'Salford'."
Location
Pros:
"The Old Pint Pot is absolutely awful. One guy on duty at the bar while 20 people wait to get served."
"Beautiful situated beer garden overlooking the River Irwell, perfect for a pint in the Sun."
"I highly recommend this pub for events, it is also very well located, right on the canal."
"An impressive building with great outdoor seating on the river just next to Salford Uni, this pub has picturesque views and can be enjoyed all year round."
"Picturesque setting down by the river, great for a relaxing pint."
"Nice relaxed atmosphere and spacious seating area outside by the River Irwell, a true hidden gem in Salford."
"Great energy and vibes, with lovely indoor and outdoor seating."
Cons:
"The pub is in a great location next to the river. It sometimes smells heavily of sewage which is very disturbing if you are sitting outside."
"It was empty despite Manchester being busy on a nice Saturday afternoon. A shame really."
