A city within a city. Salford is well worth exploring, if only for the great ale pubs and architectural delights off Chapel Street (a three-minute walk from Deansgate). Salford Quays is just the gentrified (read: largely dull) part of a very characterful city.

Chapel Street and elsewhere, Salford

Nice quirky but chilled out pub, in an area usually dominated by student dives punting cheap vodka. Good music, regular DJ and poetry reading nights, good beer and the nicest food - the panninis are brilliant and portions are gigantic!

It is on a small side street just off Wilmslow Road beside the Cheshire Cat.

Unique triangular shaped pub dressed in garish green tiles. This pub is an insitution in Manchester. Three contrasting rooms surround a central bar area from which great Guinness and fine ales are dispensed. This pub has a local feel for a city centre pub with the usual suspects propping up the bar and passing trade all getting along famously.

Great Bridgewater Street, close to Oxford Road and Deansgate stations.

Mother Mac's is an old pub in the heart of Manchester. I watched England vs Portugal in the Euro 2004 semi-finals there and that's a great memory. It's shabby but very friendly and for me and my mate Tomas, to come to Mother Mac's for a few pints of Boddingtons is to come to England.

Mother Macs is on Back Piccadilly in central Manchester, close to Piccadilly gardens.

Oldest building in Manchester, with a great seating area for sunny days. Moved brick by brick after the bomb to its present site.

Exchange Square, just beyond the cathedral from Victoria station and next to Urbis.

A fine pub. Very good selection of drinks(increasingly featuring real ales, on rotation) at reasonable prices, 2 pool tables and a very friendly landlord who cooks up a lovely pizza. The pub also has a big poem on the side of the building... if you're into that sort of thing.

Wilmslow road, right at the south end of the curry mile, Rusholme.

Owned by the same lovely people as the Soup Kitchen down the road on Spear Street, the Bay Horse is a great, chilled out pub in the hip and trendy Northern Quarter.

Enjoy the great tunes at all times thanks to the eclectic musical taste of Chris the manager.

It's regularly packed out, especially after 5pm Thursday-Saturday, so get there early to bag yourself a table - my favourite is the one by the window.

There's a pool table downstairs for those partial to a game or two and a 'secret' garden out the back- best enjoyed in the summertime.

It's a cheap local Manchester bar right near UMIST and Piccadilly. By day old mans pub; by night alternative, vintage crew, indies local. If you can't be bothered getting dressed up, go here. Doubles £2! Staff friendly, music varied and at weekends and some week nights themed club nights are held downstairs. They're good fun.

Just near Spar off Piccadilly approach rd. 5 mins from Canal st. 2 mins from Granby row, 2 mins from UMIST. 5 mins from Oxford Rd.

While wandering along an apparently deserted stretch of canal, having fled the über-trendy Deansgate bars, we stumbled across a glorious beer garden with crowds of relaxed and friendly drinkers basking in the golden sunshine of a July evening and enjoying a feisty barbecue. Great atmosphere, great canals and bridges (both 19th century and modern) round about.

A great old fashioned pub with a great restaurant at the rear. A small bar but seats outside in the summer and decent real ale.
