Once one of the premier cask pubs in the Northern Quarter it was returned to its former glories, extended and improved and is now a modern day proper pub run by Manchester based Blackjack Brewery. It was refurbished in 2020.

North Manchester CAMRA Best newcomer 2015; Central Manchester CAMRA Pub of the Year 2016 and again in 2022; Manchester Food and Drink Festival 2016 AWARDS Pub of the Year.

It has been selected as Central Manchester CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year for 2019 for its long-term stocking on tap of Hallets Cider from Wales and a superb selection of Fine Ciders, many of which are wild yeast real ciders.

Serving six ever-changing cask ales, 4 of which tend to be from Blackjack Brewery beers with the other two Guest ales; 10 keg beers; an eclectic selection of bottles and bar snacks. A family and dog friendly pub with Billiards, Darts and with a selection of board games and books to the rear in an old fireplace. A few comfy sofas and lots of cushioned seating with plug sockets underneath, some quiet music and a hum of chatter.

Information for this venue is provided by the Central Manchester Branch of CAMRA
