About this place The Goose

The Goose is a traditional pub on Bloom Street, a minute from Canal Street in Manchester's Gay Village. It used to be called Paddy's Goose and was refurbished a few years back. It still looks and works like a pub: cheap drinks, basic pub food and a mixed gay crowd who come here to talk rather than dance. It makes a good first or last stop on a Village night. It's closed Mondays, opens at 16:00 Tuesday to Thursday and from noon at weekends, and stays open until 02:30 most nights (01:30 on Sundays). Phone ahead or check the website for quiz and event nights.

The staff are super friendly, the atmosphere fantastic and they put on one hell of a show. My friends and I love the drag show. Will definitely be returning

Came for the pub quiz, they didn't have a table reserved for us even though we made a booking so they made room for us under the TV but it wasn't ideal. Pub quiz was very busy and a good atmosphere.

the queen performing were absolutely incredible, but unfortunately the place had extremely unwelcoming staff, insane prices and an owner with an ego bigger than kanye west’s. Not awful if you catch the guy when he’s not in a foul mood, but anywhere else in the village is better, I wouldn’t take the chance on it.
