I visit Manchester very often, but I had never been into the Old Monkey before this year. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. We love Traditional English Ales - They were fantastic, and such a good range. Food was very well prepared and quick to arrive, although I do think there should be a little more choice - but that's just me! After only 2 visits the Bar tender knew my drink order, and what I ordered the previous MONTH. Amaze staff! I would recommend to all. Beautiful Old building, very good times.
