Always had great service from the lovely bar staff. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Great selection of beers and great prices. Ambience is comforting and I can go alone and still meet new people. Music is ace...can't ask for anything more really. Love this place.

What a dive... and I bloody loved it! Great character. Friendly service with unique largers. Some nice booth type seating, with gig posters plastered on walls (most intrguing being the abattoir blues gig). Got a bit lost in the toilets reading peoples memoirs.

Dropped by with a friend who lives in this place and it suits him. Friendly folk, good drinks, walls adorned with gig posters. Some young peeps, some older, everyone very chilled. Me from 20 years ago would have spent a lot of time here!

The peer hat is a wonderful place to go, especially before or after going to the gigs that are underneath the bar. I've been here several times and I've always found it a warm and welcoming place, the first time I came it was a little bit intimidating, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes good music and a nice friendly place to sit.

Nice pub. Good selection of drinks at a reasonable price. Cheerful staff. Toilets on the ground floor. Interesting graffiti on the toilet walls Will definitely visit again.

My favourite bar in Manchester, and perhaps my favourite dive bar of all time. Really great prices, friendly staff, great shows and bands on in the basement. The upstairs feels like your granddad's living room, the basement is even better. There's also a cracking smoking area out in the backstreets. Look out for a stairway in the back of a neighbouring old Victorian warehouse... Go up a few flights and you'll see a couple of other hidden floors with more dance floors and bars... Are these venues a secret? Are they actually part of the The Peer Hat? Who knows? Not me.
