The Station — Restaurant in Manchester

I visited here with a couple of friends a couple of weeks ago. The bar itself was nice, however the lady who served us, who I remember was wearing a bandana and had glasses, was quite rude to my friend (who for the record, had just joined us and was sober). He politely requested a drink he had already paid for, but the lady turned quite angry. Not looking to escalate a situation, my friend politely responded and turned to join us. Surprisingly, the lady then went to summon security staff over, I can only speculate that this was an attempt to have my friend ejected. The security staff member was quite polite and helpful and after listening to my friends case allowed us to continue with our night. He also apologised for the behaviour of the bar staff which I thought was quite decent of him. He is the reason I am awardning 2 stars rather than 1.

This incident stuck out for me as perhaps the worst customer service I have seen in a long time. A polite, sober paying customer was treated with utter contempt. I can only imagine that this lady was going through some sort of issues that night, but if she is unable to control her attitude towards paying customers, then perhaps she shouldn't be...

Much talk about this venue around their Guinness by those who drink it. While many can see it as a bit of a drink with a cult following, as a big Guinness drinker myself, I had to try it first hand. Without a doubt the best pint of Guinness I've had in Didsbury, perhaps even in the Greater Manchester area. Served cold so if you like it on the warmer caramel side, perhaps not for you but otherwise I can't fault it.

The pub itself is a proper drinkers haven. I made the mistake of walking in with the little one and was told there's a no child policy. Not a problem, really, as they did allow me to try a couple of pints and sit on the front benches, which I had no issue with. Just bare this in mind if you're planning on a flying visit.

I'm giving 4 out of 5 as I've not spent an afternoon but will definitely return at some point to give it a...

Lived in Didsbury 8 years and this was my first visit but it certainly won't be my last. Looking in, you think it's tiny but in actual fact it's more like rhe tardis!! Its a proper pub and if you are a lover of Guinness then this is the place for you! From prooer pints of Guinness to a baby Guinness!! ( you really need to try it! ) this place was warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere ( until I put ferry across the meresy on the jukebox!! ) joking aside, there was plenty of sport on the tv's, the staff and drinkers were all amazing friendly and polite. It's certainly a local pub but don't let that put you of as you are made to feel welcome from the moment you set foot inside. The Guinness is amazing with alot of the old posters and signs. Well...
