The Manchester Bar Reviews web site says this about The Circus Tavern: "The Circus Tavern is a hidden gem, if you only have time to visit one real pub in Manchester, make this the one. The reasons? Well, firstly it is Manchester’s smallest pub, secondly they serve real ale, from real pumps and put it in real pint pots, and thirdly, anyone who is anyone in Manchester’s sporting and television history has been in here at some point or another – as the photographs on the wall prove. There are two tiny rooms inside, a front room with a bar which you actually walk into off the street, it’s that small, and a second room with some seating and tables. This bar is very friendly, not surprising when you consider that if you are drinking in there then you are probably sat on someone’s knee or stood on their toe. Well worth a visit!"
