The Metropolitan

There's a sense of 'little London up North' about the Met. You'll struggle to hear a Mancunian accent and the bar prices are more akin to those of the capital than a friendly local. That said, it's busy every day of the week and serves a great roast. And as it's a popular haunt for off-duty doctors, it's a safe place to be too - they'll be lining up to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre should you choke at the bar prices.
