Pubs with Bruce
I've been a beer lover all my life and I love to travel. Combining these is the ultimate experience. As I've traveled, I've immersed myself in the history and folklore of the places I've visited. Join me on my beer journeys. Okay, it's not as good as actually being there, but who knows? You may be inspired to enjoy travels (and beers) of your own.

Manchester. Dates back to 1720 when it was located in the Shambles area. Earlier names were the Fleece Inn, the King's Head Tavern, and Sinclair's. In 1845 oysters were added to the menu and it became Sinclair's Oyster Bar. Like the Old Wellington, the building was damaged by an IRA bomb in 1996, disassembled, and moved 300 meters to it's present location. With it, The Old Wellington, and The Crown and Anchor located next to each other it makes for an easy pub crawl! It is quite a small pub, with a small bar at the front and another at the back of the first floor, a couple of small rooms, and additional seating upstairs. A Samuel Smith's pub, I wasn't supposed to take photos but it was so crowded I was able to get away with it. I enjoyed a Taddy Lager, a beer I don't get to see in the states.
