Lower Turks Head

Jan Rhodes

A traditional old pub done up sympathetically in keeping with it's style and age. Much nicer inside that it looks from the outside. Larger than you initially think as they've knocked through to next door. I particularly like the pew seating opposite the bar and the story in the ladies loo telling you that it once was a barbers and that you're stood on the original floor. Excellent friendly service but it was quiet.

I love these old Manchester pubs with the tiles on the outer walls, Don't be fooled by the outside, it only looks a small pub but there's plenty of space inside over 2 floors AND THERES A BEER GARDEN UPSTAIRS. A good Holts' pub surving the regular beers Crystal, Diamind and also Bootleg IPA, Trailblaser Stout and a Citrus Holts lagar as well. The staff were happy for me to try them and let me have a look around this great pub. Also it's just opposite the Hanging Ditch Metro stop so not far to walk.

There used to be two pubs on Shudehill called The Turks Head so one was called the Lower and the other the Higher. The later was long since demolished. The Lower Turks Head was closed for a good while but reopened a few years back after a good refurb. Martin Meerkat's first visit but I have visited many times for a delicious pint of Joe Holt's. They also served Chorlton's Bootleg on this visit. Two good sized rooms downstairs with another room upstairs. Great location opposite Shudehill transport interchange and three minutes walk from Victoria. Have eaten here in the past. Good pub.
