Manhattan 34 might at first glance seem a bit pretentious and up itself what with the vintage stylings, men in horn-rimmed glasses and wooly jumpers and slightly inflated prices. But… if you like a nice beer and surroundings, you can forgive the pretentious undertones and enjoy what is a nice bar run by actually very nice people. They serve Mahou on tap as well as probably lots of other good stuff. I don’t really pay attention to the rest of it because it’s my favourite lager on tap.
Oh actually, spiced cider in winter is a winner. It’s a little pricey at over 350 pennies normally but well worth it for the beautifully mixed winter warmer. Served seasonally normally and good at the end of a long days not shopping in the corporate chains of The Shires (it’s what Highcross used to be called).

Manhattan 34 is just a great place. Yes you’re right, it looks a bit pretentious and it is a bit expensive but the decor and the seats are the best, love eh idea of a prohibition era theme bar, it’s just really nice inside, it’s such a shame it’s not that well known. I try to get people there all the time, my mates, my work colleagues and girlfriends, with varrying degrees of sucess,
