Nestled perfectly on the Oxford Corridor and amidst the student populous, Kro (a "Danish Village Pub") constantly has an influx of visitors from lunchtime to evening, and as other reviewers have highlighted, this is probably to its detriment, as this popularity means that Kro may struggle to compete during Academic vacations or entice customers from other parts of the city centre. Nonetheless, the service, standard, food and variety of drinks on offer are superb.
I seem to be a regular, especially for lunch, as I am visiting on average 10 times per year. It is also great if one attends Manchester Academy for a gig, as it is just over the road.
The food is good quality, however, it often seems to be low on stock for certain items, such as the Schnitzel. This has occurred too often. My recent visit, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which was marinated in Kro's special sauce on toasted Focaccia bread. The sandwich was delicious, The marinate was tasty and creamy and the pulled pork falling apart with every bite. The menu is Danish cuisine, which comprises of Frikadelle, Schnitzel, a variety of burgers, sausage and fish (mackeral, salmon, etc). I often have the Schitzel which comes with a fried egg on top, or the chicken burger. All very tasty, and I have always been more than satisfied with the quality. A friend of mine would recommend the Vegetarian Meze.
Kro offers a variety of drinks, especially one of my favourite brands König Ludwig Weißbier, which is a wheat beer from Bavaria. Kro is also good for coffee and cake!
The decor in Kro is quite rustic and minimal, but I it doesn't take anything away from the service or food. Most importantly it has a small beer garden at the front and rear of the building.
