The Moon under Water?

Barely a mile from the hotel so well within walking distance

yep if that's the one on Deansgate.
Seem to remember that it had an anonymous name.
Used to be a cinema I think - and once on a school trip I may have snuck off there when a cinema.
Good for bikes as you can put them between the two sets of doors and sit inside.
(I retreated there after the nice woman who brought me my curry and pint expressed surprise/admiration that I was sitting outside on a January evening)
if you do go, enjoy your breakfast pint.
(had a fine pint of Jaipur there)

Decent spoons are Moon Under the Water, The Paramount and The Waterhouse.

Lots of Cafe's in NQ - worth pottering up that way if you want.

the Waterhouse is wonderful, my favourite Manchester spoons - but like many in Manchester it does get damn crowded - was disappointed to find pretty recently that even at breakfast time it was crowded and my favourite nook was gone - suppose northerners know a good deal.

Yes I've eaten in The Waterhouse. It was very busy. Decent food though.

fine building in an historic spot - also curious at least at the back - I seem to remember that there are three pubs pretty much next door to each other - or maybe I imagined it?

nope

Not much danger of me getting lost either since my bed is at the Ibis on Princess Street

Rowntrees Cafe on the edge of The Arndale Centre. Simple English breakfast etc. Sit and be watched by bygone Coronation Street Stars.

Good spot for the Lass O Gowrie just round the corner and a fine pub. Joshua Brooks is fine. Only issue is you have FAC251 club opposite if you fancy a late night fight. . I can also recommend Hatch by Man Met Uni under the Mancunian Way for food and beers, just not open for breakfast.

There are a few. The Waterhouse is OK, far better pubs nearby though.

if we're talking pubs fossy, what beers on tap at these places?

 

[fossyant]

Are you doing anything in the evening. We could give you some good pubs to go to that aren't Spoons.

 

[Blue Hills]

also monty, is this visit work or leisure/cultural?

The Lass o Gowrie has its own brewery, and there are loads of ales. The Josh has a fair selection and Camden IPA's on tap.

Oh the other pubs aren't as cheap though. You'll be paying full whack.
