The Hyde Park Corner

This is a pretty basic pub that serves Holt brewery ales and lagers, which I don’t particularly rate, but then again I’m not a massive ale and lager drinker. It has the basics of a good pub, i.e. pool, darts, etc. but it’s all a bit ‘meh’. Still, there’s nothing wrong with it, so if you need a drink and are in the area, you have an option with the Hyde Park Corner.

Hyde Park Corner on Silk Street in Salford has a classy name but in every other way it’s a very down-​to-​earth working class pub in the heart of Salford.
The pub is owned by the Holt Brewery, meaning that the main lagers and ales are all ‘own brand.’ As a result they’re dead cheap and even better, they taste just fine.
Marie the landlady adds a bit of flair with her boisterous personality when she’s around, and the locals are friendly; you’ll find them hidden away in the back ‘vault’ section of the pub.
There’s a pool table, darts, bar snacks and plenty of comfy seating. The only thing wrong with Hyde Park Corner is that there aren’t more punters! The pub sprawls around a two-​sided bar and the place can feel a bit dead at times.
