Moor Top

You'll find Moor Top tucked away on Heaton Moor Road, exactly the kind of neighbourhood pub that makes you wonder why you don't visit more often. Walk in and there's no faffing about—just straightforward drinking, decent company, and the sort of atmosphere that gets busier on match days and quiz nights. The regulars clearly rate it (451 reviews don't lie), and you'll clock why immediately: it's unpretentious, properly maintained, and does what a good local should do without trying too hard.
