Architectural delight of buildings behind the Manchester Cathedral. However it is horrendously busy with trendy crowds swarming every available seating space. Neither my companion or I enjoyed it and we couldn't wait to escape it. We of course were going by the name and imagined it completely differently. It was much to our disappointment 😂

What a beautiful old pub! We visited midweek during the festive period at lunch time and luckily we managed to find a table in the window. The vibe was amazing, everyone chatting to each other, enjoying their time, why? Because no phones are allowed! The craft beers were very nice and we'd definitely return! Theres Seating outside too when its not miserable
