The Bulls Head

Loved it there!
On holidays in Sale, I as a German gal love a good pub where you can have a few pints, watch the footie and then meet strangers who turn out to be kind of friends within a couple of hours.
Friendly and funny staff and really nice guests you can find here every night well, at least we did three nights in a row. ;) DJ and karaōke on sunday night were quite alright and theres nothing really to complain about. Im gonna be back for sure: D

I’d forgotten all about this pub. Must head there soon!
I’ve only been here for gigs so I have no idea what it’s like normally but it’s really good for a gig!
They set up the stage right in the bar and you sit around on stools, the most relaxed venue ever! I’ve been to four gigs there and always stayed after the gig to have a couple of drinks with the band!
The drinks are stupidly cheap and as Alison has already mentioned, there’s a good range of beers.
Not far from a Metrolink station so easy to get to from town and it makes it easy to carry on the night too!

The Bulls Head in Sale is pretty much as traditional a pub/​bar as you
would expect from a place with this name. Along with many other licensed
premises named in a similar vein (be they Queens Heads, Red Lions or Dukes
of Wellington), you’re probably familiar with the genre… Highly
patterned carpets, ample seating upholstered predominantly with red velour
and brown corduroy, un-​subtle lighting and chalkboards on most of the
walls. I suppose that these elements are all part of the quintessential
British boozer, but without getting too ‘Al Murray’ about it, I have to
say that I quite like these sorts of place and the Bulls Head isn’t too
bad. A reasonable range of fairly standard beers is on offer, and at quite
reasonable prices. A pint of London Pride and a reasonable G&T came in at
under £5 which seems pretty good to me!
The atmosphere isn’t bad either… a fairly predictable range of tunes
being played on the sound system, friendly staff and a reasonable bunch
among my fellow punters. They offer a wide range (okay, a predictable
range) of pub-​grub, and are trying to embrace the 21^st century with a
Facebook presence so trying to appeal to a wider market maybe than the
average daytime drinker who flits between the pub and the betting shop…
So in summary, not the best place in the world, but certainly not the
worst, and I’d definitely pop in there again for an early evening drink on
a blustery winters evening (like I did last night!)

The Bulls Head seems to be an infamous drinking establishment in Sale. Ask anyone for directions anywhere in the town and the Bulls Head always seems to be the starting or finishing point. It’s not the most luxurious of pubs and certainly isn’t the place I’d choose for a night out with the girls but if you’re looking to catch up with friends over a drink or two, then it’s certainly passable. The interior is a bit shabby which is a shame because they have some gorgeous art deco fixtures and fittings that I’d love to see put to good use. The range of drinks is standard for a pub and the prices average. The Bulls Head doesn’t really offer anything that’s likely to entice passers by or visitors to the area through its doors but if you do find yourself venturing in, there are perhaps worse places you could be.
