The Britons Protection Manchester in Manchester

My partner and I did the whisky tasting with John this evening, cannot recommend enough! I am not personally a big whisky drinker but I enjoyed learning about all the personally selected whisky’s and learning everything about their origins, and found some whisky’s I liked myself! Highly recommended to everyone visiting Manchester!

A very poor pub, overpriced & poor service. Only go in this pub if you are desperate & there is no where else to go. It's 5 years since my last visit. When it was a traditional pub a little more expensive then others but OK. On my return I think the furniture & decor is exactly the same, but the price as gone through the roof £5:20 for a pint of lager in a Manchester pub is unexceptable. The bitter is flat & undrinkable. Service is unreal. Can you real have staff who can't tell the difference between a £5 note & £10 note. Or you have have a £20 note in your hand brings a card machine for you to pay. Unbelievable & bad. I will never go to this pub again if it closed tomorrow it would not be early enough

Excellent unspoilt pub. Very busy when we visited. Since becoming a Freehouse, prices seem higher than all of the 8 Manchester pubs we visited. Worth visiting though.

Nice place for a few drinks with an awesome selection of whiskey. For me, not a place to spend an entire evening but definitely a good stopover

This man has more knowledge than most. I spent over £100 in whiskey and each recommendation wanted me wanting more. Not to mention the class in service. He was fantastic.this bar is a real treat. Down to earth, complex, an utter treat I can't wait for mu next visit. No bull...this is the place to go.

Best pub in Manchester. Great, friendly staff and friendly locals. Even before a U*****d match it was nice.

Maybe done this before but lovely old fashioned put with wood and tile decor split into small rooms real ale and usual lager and spirits especially Jack daniels and special vintage and different barrels

Excellent pub just off the popular region of Deansgate. Huge Whiskey collection, and the pub has lots of seating, private rooms and a big log fire! Alan, the manager, has such an in-depth knowledge of Whiskey - so much so he hosts public and private tastings. Myself and 4 others, paid £25 a head and had a unpeated tour of Scotland. We tried 5 drams, with a bonus one provided at the end (which Alan produces). These tastings can be tailored to your likes and requirements and Alan’s knowledge and understanding of Whiskey is unmatched. You learn so much from him! Id highly recommended- excellent Mancunian boozer all round!

The "BP" is a Manchester institution for fans of traditional pubs. Paid a lunchtime visit when it was fairly quiet. Sat in one of the back rooms, there is a garden/yard for those that like to sit outside. Had a couple of the Saltaire bitter which was very good & went down well with the cheese pie, thick cut chips & peas. There are several pie options some of which are unusual. Nice & quiet if you like a relaxing lunchtime.Prominent position on Great Bridgwater street close to Manchester Central, Great Bridgewater Hall & Jurys Hotel. Recommended for fans of traditional pubs with plent of craft beer options not to mention large array of spirits

Great pub old traditional beer garden at the back, snug rooms still kept the traditional look has character. Very friendly staff.
