Micro Bar, Manchester

Compact market-stall bar and bottle shop under the cover of the Arndale Centre. Very limited seating with just a few tall chairs around the angled counter. Five handpumps, dispensing Phoenix Arizona, Dancing Duck DCUK, Old Forge Bitter from Half Moon and Bradford Winter Warming Stout (£3.00) plus Old Rosie cider. Fine for a quick one.

Tiny bar in the Arndale Centre which opens 11 - 6 weekdays and 12 - 5 on Sundays. There's a mix of seating including a few table and some high stools. 5 handpumps including one for real cider. A couple of beers from Boggart, Wilson Potter Harcle Hill and one I can't remember. The Wilson Potter was in good nick. Loads of bottled beers for sale as well. It's an interesting place for one and if you want to eat you can buy food from the other market stalls and eat it here with a beer.

Our first visit to this bar that is in the Arndale Centre. We were there January for the Winter Ales fest, and this bar had extra beers on stillage. I found the beers on the bar in good condition, but the ones from stillage weren't top notch really. Plenty of breweries to try though, and we had them from Clarence & Fredericks, Luckie, Ayr, and Dunham Massey.
