We've asked for your favourite song and we now want to know about your favourite pub.
A pub means something different to everyone. For some, it's a social place. A chance to meet and catch up with friends and family after a busy day.

There are several pubs near Old Trafford and the Etihad that are popular for United and City fans in the build up to a big game. Manchester United fans regularly use The Tollgate as a meeting point before marching to the ground together.
Mary D's has equally become an iconic pub for Manchester City fans. It has been key in blues making their stadium a home since moving to the stadium in 2003. These were the scenes after Manchester City won the league in 2012
Perhaps you live in Middleton
The Old Boar's Head is hugely popular pub in the M24 area. The building also has a fascinating history.An interesting guide to the pub states:
The Olde Boar’s Head is a rare example of an early timber framed building, acknowledged by Historic England as outstanding, it is Grade II* listed and claims the title of the oldest original public house in England.
