“Separated from the Northern Quarter by the unlovely Rochdale Road and surrounded by increasingly lofty modern developments, The Angel could be forgiven for feeling a bit oppressed — but it doesn’t feel that way. In a city that rarely forgets to tell you how it does things differently, The Angel charts its own course. This is a very traditional pub, carpets and cask ale, a formula that is winning the pub a new clientele amongst all the young folk who live in those big buildings.”
