This is quite a large pub on a split level with a long bar downstairs. It is a relatively modern building in contrast to those around it and serves the student community of Salford University. There is an outside terrace with views over the horseshoe bend of the River Irwell which the 'Crescent' is built on. A lively atmosphere.

Has two sets of two handpumps and usually features two or three real ales though only one has been available at the start of the week.
