First of all, narrowing down the list to 15, there are going to be some glaring omissions for a city the size of Manchester.
I do feel that Dukes 92 currently taking the lead is something of a travesty, but just goes to show we all have different views on what makes a good pub.
Some surprising inclusions on the list such as the Millstone and Moon Under Water, as well as a couple that are actually over the border in Salford.
That said, there are only two or three I have never been in, and one of those is on my list for an upcoming trip.
Been in 7 of those,all very recently apart from Dukes 92 ...............a very brief visit when working Lock 92 many moons ago.
