The Crown & Kettle — Restaurant in Manchester

We were going to have s drink in here however while we were waiting to be served I went to use the loo I have never seen anything so disgusting in my life there were used sanitary products and rubbish on the floor from the overflowing bin and the place stunk, i came out andI asked the girl behind the bar if I could speak with the manager when one of the door staff came round the bar and in a very confrontational manner just said, "what do you want" I said I'm waiting to speak with the manager who cane along at that noment and said it's ok and dismissed him back to the door, I explained about the disgusting state of the toilets and he said he would sort it as soon as he could but he was busy with the football it was a volatile situation??? Why volatile there are no away fans only England fans enjoying the game, I also mentioned the attitude of his door staff and then he accused me of being confrontational lol you couldn't make it up, when my friend weñt inside the problem still hadn't been dealt with so we left, and I'm glad we didn't drink there, just to add there was no social distancing in place they had chairs and tables crammed together inside and out obviously trying to make as much money as they possibly can before we get locked down again and you wonder why, this is a beautiful listed building but don't drink here if you value your health it's...

Visited the this weekend (August 2022) on one if the hottest days of the year. We were served by a lad who kept sneezing over our highly priced beers. We went outside to sit on some very cheap plastic benches. I removed my top and within moments was accosted my another person telling me to put it back on. He didn't tell me who is was, but I assumed he was the 2nd coming due to his God complex. "You cannot have your top off in my pub!" When I pointed out that I wasn't IN his pub, he spread his arms and pointed from the top of the road to the bottom saying "all this IS my pub!" I then compiled, we finished our drinks (just short of £12 for two largers ) and left. There was no signage anywhere to state that tops had to be worn. We walked five minutes down the road to another pub called Jimmy's. The difference was night and day. Friendly staff, fantastic beer and sensible prices! I will not return again and look forward to it going bust! Stay away unless you like being ripped off and talked down to. The arrogant "reply "tells you all you need to know about the owner and his view of customs. Enough said really. Karma will do its job...

The C&K used to be my local and it is one of my favorite pubs on Earth. It is small, scruffy and dark. The main bar has an ornate victorian plaster ceiling that has been rotting away for the best part of a century. Drinkers are protected from potential injury by a reinforced net. The second (cider) bar's ceiling has been fully restored but, to be honest, I prefer the faded grandeur of the one that's falling apart. There are no gimmicks at C&K. There's a rapidly cycling collection of excellent real ales and craft beers from local, national and international breweries. There's a good collection of boxed ciders, and an impressive array of gins and whiskeys. There are tables and chairs. The snug has a nice gas fire. They sell pork pies and scotch eggs from the fridge along with crisps, nuts and monster munch. You don't go to the C&K to be 'seen', you go to drink excellent quality drinks at reasonable prices and enjoy conversation with your friends. Everything a...
