The Goose in Manchester

Ever since I moved to Manchester, The Goose has become one of the places I actually enjoy going to. Some nights might be super busy but the times that are quiet are actually nice if you want to have a beer or too. The bartenders are super friendly and a big shout out to the girl with the red hair shes a super star, its always nice to see her.

Nice little pub with live entertainment and a decent beer selection. Staff very friendly.

Met up with Craggy, cant stay away from the place x

Very very expensive. 2 vodka red bulls. £17.50.Not what I call inviting into a empty pub. . Can see why now!

Its one of my favourite places in the gay village and I regularly go for their karaoke nights on a Friday. Misty Chance is a fabulous host. The staff are friendly and the service is always excellent.

Just not the same as it was when Patrick ran it. The last of the old guard gay pubs are finished now. It’s more a bar with local people largely gone

Me and my husband when there for some drinks and lunch. And I kid you not there was used condoms everywhere it was shocking to see the carpet is really damp with urine

Queen DJing Sunday night was incredible, made me want to move back to Manchester :Really chill spot open late, good vibes, good crowd, highly recommend

Absolutely lovely night at the gooseStaff were amazing & prompt at serving drinksHowever the bouncer Lee was extremely obnoxious and “power has went to his head” in relation on how to treat patrons.I have never had anything like this in any other bar in the village and I will always second guess coming here on a night out

The goose has been a favourite for some time but it’s being let down by some of the door staff, like Lee, who seems to have a poor attitude to work and lacks the friendly welcome and positive approach most take to the customers. Coupled with the occasional threat of physical violence if you dear say otherwise, makes for a disconcerting start to a visit.If you can ignore that then you’ll be welcomed by a friendly entertainment team, fabulous cabaret, excellent bar staff like Pearl and Luke who take the time to check in on returning visits, remember who drinks what, even if it’s been a few weeks. The owners have really made the goose somewhere to visit while in the village. Just a shame the first thing you come across are difficult characters like Lee.

(Visited Nov 2021)Misty’s quiz was a fun way to spend an evening- be sure to book a table in advance as it’s a small place!

Got bad food poisoning from being served a rotting pint, disgusting place.

Sometimes is very busy and little space to sit, but the bar people are cheerful and nice. Prices okey.

Only been twice but we love Owen the barman who remembered us from weeks ago. (He is lovelyand the DJ tonight had an amazing vibe. Great atmosphere

Nice pub and friendly barman

Great little traditional pub. Youll find a mixed bag of anyone in here. Great drinks and nice atmosphere. They have shows on which are always a good laugh. Its behind canal street out of the way. If you are close by I would definitely recommend this hidden place.

Two nights in Manchester and The Goose was a must both nights. Misty is amazing as are the staff. Cant recommend it enoughMissing you already guysSherry and John in Blackpool

Served me apple cider instead of watermelon . When I said that I ordered bottled cider, the waiter said " We are not allowed to bring glass outside " . What a stupid excuse and they just brought me a drink without knowing what it is

Love The Goose. Paul and Dave the owners do a great job of making it so friendly and welcoming and have some lovely local drag acts on. Its a lovely pub vibe and a true gem in The Village!

Good place!

Just popped in for a pint before the coach. Really friendly little pub, nice and busy.

Nice bar in the Village. Friendly staff and good wine.

Really friendly and welcoming. Have a fantastic night there playing bingo and was thoroughly entertained

Nice 👍

Fun place to go doesnt matter whether you gay or not..... nice staff....good atmospher

Proper traditional style pub in the Gay Village.

I had an amazing Moo & Blue pie this evening! Thanks to the Goose pub for that! Really premium pies! Reccomanded!

Recently taken over by David and Paul, great food staff to match and a brilliant atmosphere.

My favourite pub in the Village. Good beer at decent prices, but 8 quid for pie and mash is a joke

Nice and cosy. Mixed crowd. Prices reasonable

A very pleasant establishment in the village in Manchester and trans friendly. Like to add not expensive either.

We have come here,amazing staff and people!!!!

Great service

Relaxed pub with great atmosphere

Food is basic but decent and the staff are great

A great, cozy bar thats more suited to a good chat than anything too crazy. Its exactly what you want a pub to be.

Love it here, always made to feel welcome by staff and regulars 👋 xxx

Nice pint of beer...what more do you need?Ambiance is good too...

Very friendly staff. Small intimate place

Excellent...

My partner and I pop in when we are in the gay village met some really nice people and the bar staff always friendly worth a visit

Nice place

Been going in a few times now and like it lots. Its a welcome change to the typical gay bar. The Stella is good quality and the red wine by the glass is fine. The venue is bright and clean. Its good for groups who want to chat rather than listen to loud music. Worth a visit.

My wife and I called in on a Saturday night for a drink we stood at the bar waiting to be served someone came in after us and was served before us and then another person behind them got served. One of the regular had noticed and the barman knew we where there so after that we just walked out disgusted and never to return.

Great small pub with a nice atmosphere

The only proper, friendly, genuine "pub" in the Village. And you can get a pint of cask ale.

Great vibe with friendly staff

best pub out in canal st area the staff r brilliant & the owner is gay proud & the nicest man youll ever meet xx

Great pub friendly staff good beer good food
