Pie & Ale in Manchester

Came here as part of a large group and the food, drinks and service was impeccable. Great tasty pies and they also show sport

I haven't been in the Pie and Ale for about 4 months because I no longer work in central Manchester. It hasn't changed. Its still as good as ever. The staff are as friendly as ever and the pies are amazing. Continues to be a favourite and this is why I'm having my wedding reception here.Really good selection of craft beers at reasonable prices. The food is delicious and worth visiting for the pies alone.

Great selection of pies and funnily enough beers too. I'm into my Belgian beers as well as some British microbreweries so I've tried a good few here. As well as the odd drink deal we had 2 cocktails for £12.50

Would have taken photos of the food but it was too delicious to keep hanging around and needed to be wolfed down. Really recommend this place, great drinks, awesome food - my turkey was delicious- and helpful friendly staff too. I will definitely be back here again.

Great atmosphere. Great food and beer selection. Shows the football. Very friendly helpful staff.

As a solo traveller, sometimes I hesitate going to a restaurant that is too busy. I was there at around 8pm on a Sunday night. Not too busy, quiet enough to enjoy my meal. The ambient was lovely and music was not too loud.The waiter was very nice and kind to explain and answer my questions. I went there for PIES but I chose the sunday roast pie eventually and it is a stack up open pie with puff pastry on the bottom and top it with creamed leek, roast beef (or turkey or veg option), mash potato and yorkshire pudding, alongside with some roasted veggie and of course gravy! I would say I eat a lot but the portion was quite big and I could not finish it 100%.. probably 90% with a 5-month pregnant belly when leaving.I also asked for some recommendations on beers which are from Manchester breweries. Tried the Shin Digger pale ale and Arbor Mosaic and both of them taste right! Glad that I go for Shin Digger first as it is more crisp and fresh to have alongside with the pie. The Arbor mosaic is a gluten free one which I am literally surprised.After all, it was a nice Sunday casual dinner and I enjoyed myself good enough there. Would love to return and try their mixed grilled pie (which the waiter recommended for meat lovers. As well as the tikka masala one)

The pies are absolutely delicious! I have been several times and every pie has been amazing! My personal favourite is the steak and ale with the dirty mash! They have a big choice of ales (its in the name!) One of our favourite spots in NQ.

Delicious yummy pies, the best I have tried so far! Super friendly staff, we spent an amazing night dining outside. I can't sait to go back to try more.

Fantastic place. Visited at the start of December and ate from their Christmas Menu and absolutely loved the food.Everything was very tasty and well worth the cost. All the staff were friendly and attentive.Already looking forward to visiting again when I'm next in Manchester.

A great selection of pies, the two our table had were both tasty. The beers on offer were ok but could have been a higher class of breweries on offer in my opinion. They were ok but nothing special.
