Large, spartanly decorated L-shaped room on the ground floor of a former metal works factory. This features the bar which occupies the righthand space, with a dividing wall and glass door showcasing the brewery in the lefthand area (brewery tours are to be held every Friday at 1600hrs, and the first Saturday of every month at 1230hrs). The decor is rustic and echoes its industrial past - the make-up of furniture is wholly second-hand and features a lot of large refectory-style tables and benches. A further room or event space is available upstairs. The bar features handpulls for the cask beers, plus a bank of taps on an adjacent wall for the keg / membrane products. A door leads you through to the yard and garden, and gives access to the disabled toilet. To get to the regular toilets, you have to exit into the yard, then back in to the building behind the brewing kit. The yard is home to the pizza seller too.

NB: SALES CEASE 30 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING TIMES SHOWN HERE.

The brewery and tap were relocated here from their city centre premises - Runaway Brew Tap Manchester
