About
A longstanding pub near the university, the Old Pint Pot has a beer garden that draws crowds in summer. It serves standard pub meals and drinks including an IPA on tap, with quiz nights and open mic events. The outdoor space is unfussy but comfortable for casual drinks in good weather. Staff are mentioned positively by regulars, and the pub maintains a mix of student and local trade. Pool tables add to the laid-back appeal, while its riverside setting gives it a distinctive location. Deals keep prices accessible, and it remains a straightforward spot for day drinking without frills.
Customer Reviews
I’ve been coming here for 30 years, it was the Adelphi back then. It’s changed hands many times and they all seem to have great ideas for the place that come to nowt and it’s a shame. it has so much potential but is just being left to go to pot really. It has a great outdoor beer garden overlooking the river but it is shabby and weed ridden. When the students have gone home for the hols it is quiet. The food is basic. We come here for the beer garden tbh, hope it keeps going but just wish someone would invest some much needed cash into the place for a do up, it could be amazing!
BAD FOOD! People and atmosphere were good but it seems since the recent revamp there is a kitchen staff who are brand new. I ordered last night the mixed grill which was mostly fine but the chicken was boiled so it was squishy and filled with water and had no seasoning. Definitely didn’t touch a grill. Then for desert I ordered the sundae which came in a bowl not a glass and incredibly bad 0 ice cream just some brownies covered in whipped cream. Also had no sauce. Staff are nice but kitchen staff need to be following the items in their meals better
Food was standard pub fayre, with a home cooked feel and was very good value for money. Beer options were good with an IPA on tap also. Bar staff were very attentive, personable, polite and friendly and the service was very good. Nice little student type joint with lovely outdoor space and view of the River Irwell. Good selection of music being played. Cheers 🍻
