Hulme Off License

Right next to Hulme Post Office is Hulme Off Licence. As the post office sells almost all you would need on a daily basis, the only reason for this shop really is its alcohol vending capacity. Having said that, if you’re passing and both are open, you’ve got a better selection of sweets and drinks here than you have in the post office, but only marginally.
So the alcohol. Well its fine, and they do have a few deals, but its nothing special really. I suppose as it’s the only off licence around you haven’t got a choice and they do sell beers, ciders wines and spirits so no major complaints.
Not good. Not bad. It’s a review of convenience really, just to let you know its there.

I used to live in flat above here !! Great shop friendly staff, sells everything. Not too expensive either, theres also chemist and post office on same row of shops

This is my local newsagent/​off-​license/​general store. It recently underwent a refurb and is now bigger, more spacious, cleaner and stocked with a wider variety of produce.
When a trip to the nearest supermarket seems the most arduous task its really nice to pop round the corner to get some essentials from this little store. Catering for the locals, there is a lot of carribean/​indian options and also lower-​priced alternatives (as you may know Hulme aint the priciest of places to live!).
Of course some of their stuff is outrageously priced because they know you shop with them for convenience and not much else, however, the cheaper option can usually be found. The booze is well priced also — especially for 3 for £10 on good wines or my favourite Faustino — this costs less than our local Asda!
The fellas who work there are nice enough, with the occasional flurry of banter or a wee giggle which makes a brief visit mildly enjoyable!!! Well who really enjoys shopping in convenience stores?! I mean really…
