Manchester – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs
In case you didn’t know, Woodstock is not only a favourite meeting&drinking venue, but is a place to hold inspired academic discussions. So, if you are looking for a cosy space where to debate the future of capitalism or the latest discoveries in nuclear science over a pint of beer, head to West Didsbury.
Woodstock is located just off Barlow Moor Road and is all but hidden from the view in summer. In these warm summery evenings it is like the proverbial secret garden, and indeed Woodstock’s beer garden is very lovely. But the real discoveries still await you inside. The interior offers a peculiar mix of old architecture and furniture and some modern decorations. The comfy sofas, ottomans, and armchairs are just the order for a romantic evening in candlelight or a friendly get-together by the chimney.
The selection of beverages is good, and the food is delicious. The menu ranges from traditional English burgers to more sophisticated fish and meat dishes, and deserts are lip-smacking! The place is certainly one of the must-visits in Manchester, and, unless you are a resident, is a good reason to take a bus to West Didsbury.
