About the Pub
Now re-opened. Please book to avoid disappointment.
This Grade II-listed 200-year-old multi-roomed pub is listed on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors and famous for its highly ornate ceilings. Through it's sometimes unwelcoming appearing closed doors is a friendly pub bristing with history & character.
The long narrow public bar stretches the width of the front of the building complete. Along with many features of the pub, the bar counter, back bar and the bar's fixed seating dates from the 1930s when the pub was extensively refurbished. The moulded ceiling picked out in red and gold is another feature.
A tiled passageway from the left end of the public bar leads round to the rear of the servery where there are two further rooms, both equally steeped in history. These two rooms are served via a hatchway through to the bar, complete with leaded screens.
Both of the rear rooms have original fixed seating complete with bell pushes, classic 1930s fireplaces (although now gas fired) and a raft of other historic features.
As well as 5 cask ales their is an amazing selection of up to 350 whiskeys and bourbons.
The pub attracts ale fans at all times along with workers from nearby offices and refugees from the nearby Deansgate locks "party bars". Being situated directly opposite the Bridgewater Hall, it is popular with musicians from the resident Halle Orchestra and of course with visitors having pre or post concert drinks.
