Tucked right beside Manchester Cathedral, Sinclair’s Oyster Bar is one of those pubs you visit for the atmosphere - and the famously cheap pints. I’ve stopped in here a few times, and while it has its quirks, it still draws a solid crowd. Here’s what to expect.

In-Depth Review:
Sinclair’s Oyster Bar is a popular spot for those looking for a budget-friendly pint in a vibrant atmosphere. The outdoor seating area is a big draw, especially in good weather. The pub offers traditional British pub food, with meat pies and fish & chips being popular choices. The drinks are very affordable, with pints priced around £3-5. The upstairs section is cosy and comfortable, adding to the overall charm. However, the pub only accepts cash, which can be inconvenient. Additionally, the no-tech policy might not suit everyone, as it restricts the use of phones. Despite these quirks, Sinclair’s Oyster Bar remains a favourite for its cheap drinks and lively atmosphere.
