Love the Lower Turks Head . One of the Northern Quarter best pubs..Great ales great food friendly staff. Well worth a visit.
Great friendly pub in the nothern quarter. Music great and a fabulous roof top area. Manchester's little gem x
Great staff busy pub but loads of staff on never had to wait more than a minute to get served
Not been in for 30 years before last night but won’t be that long before I go back
Excellent place to drink. Met some great locals and gained a new Facebook friend.....lovely to meet you Gary 😁
Staff are friendly and fast which is a bonus in such a busy pub. Always visit when in Manchester.
Top bar great staff always friendly and a top pint of Guinness
Beers are a little bit pricey for what you get, but nice enough inside. It's a great pub for picking up milfs, and they are a lot cleaner than what you get at the Millstone round the corner.
Nice inside, really friendly bar staff and a roof terrace great for sunny days 😎🍻
Sunday afternoon, northern soul music and dancing, very warm in there, great atmosphere
Friendly, locals pub. Loads of great bears and choice of vino. What's NOT to like!
Always head here when anywhere near Shudehill or the Arena great pint of Trooper or Timothy Taylor's
A traditional old pub done up sympathetically in keeping with it's style and age. Much nicer inside that it looks from the outside.
Larger than you initially think as they've knocked through to next door. I particularly like the pew seating opposite the bar and the story in the ladies loo telling you that it once was a barbers and that you're stood on the original floor. Excellent friendly service but it was quiet.
I love these old Manchester pubs with the tiles on the outer walls, Don't be fooled by the outside, it only looks a small pub but there's plenty of space inside over 2 floors AND THERES A BEER GARDEN UPSTAIRS.
A good Holts' pub surving the regular beers Crystal, Diamind and also Bootleg IPA, Trailblaser Stout and a Citrus Holts lagar as well. The staff were happy for me to try them and let me have a look around this great pub. Also it's just opposite the Hanging Ditch Metro stop so not far to walk.
There used to be two pubs on Shudehill called The Turks Head so one was called the Lower and the other the Higher. The later was long since demolished. The Lower Turks Head was closed for a good while but reopened a few years back after a good refurb. Martin Meerkat's first visit but I have visited many times for a delicious pint of Joe Holt's. They also served Chorlton's Bootleg on this visit. Two good sized rooms downstairs with another room upstairs. Great location opposite Shudehill transport interchange and three minutes walk from Victoria. Have eaten here in the past. Good pub.
I didn't eat here but otherwise this is one of the best pubs in Manchester City Centre. Amongst all the grey misery outside and run down businesses and store fronts and litter, this is a gem and when you step indoors it's like a whole other world. Great beers and ales, cool seating and plenty of it and everyone is friendly, even the patrons.
To be honest I had virtually given up on Joseph Holt's bitter as being a pale shadow of it's old self but this was the best point I've had in ages. Typical lively friendly Manchester boozer.
One of the best pubs in Manchester, really lovely interior. Great feel to it, staff are always amazing and the beer on offer is great. Nice place to catch up with friends and watch some football.
A Great pub to call in for a couple of beers. It can get very busy weekend afternoon's but the waiting time isn't too long to served. Also a roof top garden & good seating upstairs.
A great place to sit down and have a drink, staff are very friendly and the bar has a good atmosphere.
Additionally since the pub is located close to the bus station, this is a nice place to wait for your bus to arrive.
A relaxing pub with a good atmosphere and nice staff. Enjoyed a few pints of pale ale. They have a television showing live sports. A good place to call in for a few drinks if passing.
I'd imagine the old cook Geordie might be gone but he treated the Illinois high school Select side to wonderful roast dinners upstairs the couple of times we booked. Excellent location and near youth hostels.
Nice bar and fine rooms. Very welcoming staff , just a proper place .
Can highly recommend 👍
29/10/22: back again. Sat upstairs. Photo update!
Haven't been in the Lower Turks Head for quite some time, but was pleasantly refreshed and found good service and it's usual fantastic choice of Joseph Holts beers/ales. Probably quite overlooked and definitely understated. Well worth a visit!
Enjoyed quiet drink with family, Reasonably good prices for beer and vodka. Nice atmosphere, clean and friendly.
Many happy times spent there,met and made many lovely friends. Will be looking forward to seeing them all again when the great soul music 🎶 is back where it belongs.
Lovely pub to visit and have a pint or any beer that you're searching for. As a B&B, it was a fantastic experience to live the genuine Manchester. Enjoyed so much the atmosphere once Man United played Champions League, unforgettable.
Stopped here for 1 night very welcoming staff a young lad showed us to our room we paid a little extra for a room with a balcony the veiw isnt the best but ideal if your a smoker there is some extraction units which can be noisey but slept all the way through so if you dont like noise i wouldnt recommend
Overall the bed was very comfy the room smelt clean and was clean will stay again 👍🏻
Looked dubious from outside but really old and quirky inside. Very friendly & helpful staff. We asked about food & they said we could get a takeaway & eat it in the pub - 9 of us got a kebab from the Turkish takeaway 2 doors down & ate it in the pub. Reasonably priced drinks. £15 for a bottle of decent house white - so would go back x
