The Pint Publik House - Manchester

Met up with large group for a late dinner. Our waitress was awesome, and was very accommodating with pulling the tables together to fit everybody. The food on the other hand... Nice presentation, lacking on flavor and quality of product. Too much breading, gristly meat, oily chicken wings, canned tasting gravy the list goes on... They also didn't have enough plates and glasses Hopefully our subpar visit, was a fluke.

Omg! So we wanted to spend our anniversary without the kids. I was on the hunt for somewhere, and I came across reviews for this place. My husband wanted American food, and I thought the Jamaican sounded good. I was right! I got a chocolate coconut martini, husband just got a beer. The martini was fabulous. We got 6 grilled wings, they were delicious! And for dinner I got jerk chicken, he got the monte cristo. We both got fried plantains for our sides. Literally the best food I think I've had in a long time. Such a bar feel, not a restaurant by any means, but I would 848589294848737% come back. It's exactly what we needed for a great night out from the kids, and to celebrate our marriage

I, and my friend, a vegetarian, have been there twice together (he has been there a couple of times before) in the last month. First time...he ordered dahl and I got an app. of fried plantains and the curry goat with side of roti. Both of us had a couple draft beers. Second time he ordered the red snapper (which I tried and it's real good....a little bony) and I had oxtail stew with butter beans and it was spicy and real good. A little noisy (music), but service is real good and good selection of beer. They have limited menu, but the Jamaican food (wow! on the curry sauce) is very good. Definitely will go back. happy trails.

Great drinks the best service great bartenders good food, the vibe is amazing and the blonde bartender is the best

So the Jamaican beef patties here are some of my favorite things ever. Highly recommend. Definitely look into the Jamaican portion of their menu. I have eaten here about 3x...the first time I was pretty impressed because it was a hidden treasure trove of Jamaican food. No one really expects a pub to serve up anything but bar food. The second time I ate here, the experience was a complete mess and our server was absolutely clueless. That 's when I discovered the food is pretty inconsistent and it definitely depends on who the chef is. The third time I ordered just the fritters and a beef patty and everything was delicious. The first time I was here, I came in for lunch with a group of friends. We were one of two groups in the entire pub. We heard through the grapevine that The Pint had some pretty decently seasoned Jamaican food so we had to try it for ourselves. I actually opted for their 50 cent grilled wings because I couldn 't pass a deal like that up. Their wings were grilled perfectly. I opted for 3 different flavors: Carolina Reaper, mango habanero, and jerk. The Carolina Reaper was not as spicy as I was hoping because the name Carolina Reaper typically strikes fear as it is the hottest pepper the flavor was good though. The mango habanero was solid but the jerk flavor was totally lost on me. I think the jerk seasoning was lost during the grilling process. The food came out pretty slow though for there being only two groups in the entire pub. Overall, I got 10 wings for $5 and couldn 't complain which meant I was definitely coming back. My friends who ordered actual Jamaican dishes such as the curry chicken and chicken jerk dinner really enjoyed their entrees. My second visit, my group of friends decided to grab beers during happy hour and munch on some grub. Got a Stella Artois for about $3? They gave us a list of specials that were not even relevant. I tried to order off the list of specials and the waitress said they were only honoring the specials if an NFL game is on. Ok well next time let us know ahead of time when you give us the menus. I ordered wings again but the waitress absolutely had no clue how many wings came with each order or what flavors were available. She was a complete mess in bringing out our food and our bill. The wings were much smaller this time around and not as good...very subpar wings. Lesson learned, only eat here when the place is nearly empty. Otherwise, just come for drinks. Third visit: my group of friends and I were practically the only table in the entire restaurant. This was good for us because it meant it was safe to order food. While the Jamaican food is great, it takes awhile for the food to come out. Tried the fritters and beef patty this time and enjoyed my entire meal.
