The Albert

You know when you walk into a pub and it just feels right? The Albert's that sort of place. Withington's got plenty of student dives and trendy spots, but this one's different—it's got the kind of worn-in comfort that comes from being genuinely loved by the same crowd for years. The sort of pub where regulars have their spots and the staff actually remember what you drink. It's the antidote to Manchester's endless craft beer posturing; just good honest ale, proper lagers, and the kind of no-nonsense atmosphere that's becoming rare.
