The Wharf

The Wharf, in the heart of canal basin in Castlefield, Manchester, is a large warehouse-style building, but there are innumerable nooks and crannies so you can find cosy, intimate rooms and alcoves, or more buzzy, dynamic areas if you prefer.

Location makes this bar . A really great place to be on a pleasant hot day. Nice relaxed crowd too, with no music or TV blaring out, no wonder we stayed for more than the one beer . Very relaxing! Read more

Cozy pub in Castlefield. Good selection of real ales and all the usual draught lagers and ciders . Decent bar snacks menu . Has an upstairs restaurant , outside terrace overlooking the canal and parking .

Jon Nott

No vegan options on the menu, but they prepared a dairy-free version of the mushroom risotto - very tasty. If you’re veggie , the mushroom , spinach and ricotta Wellington Sunday roast looks amazing.

Ketija Milta

Simple bar type design, live music , which created a lot of noise, but fit well together ! restaurant type food- delicious!????

Adam Burke

Lovely terrace by the canal for a sunny day. Good selection of ales and food (we tried burger and pork belly ). Great staff !

Laura Weatherburn

Really nice pub , especially nice in the summer when it's time warm enough to sit outside. Can get pretty busy though, especially on Sunday's.

Richard Carter

Outdoor bbq is brilliant - lamb kofte is very tasty even if the portion is a bit small!

Danny Wilson

Nice food and a really nice interior. Good sized beer garden too. Drink selection is also really good!

VSandra

Sticky toffee pudding is possibly one of the best in town . Linguine with the sea food are definitely to avoid.

Anna

Few better places for ale in the summertime in Manchester. Gets very busy but that's inevitable.

Watch out for the king prawn and chorizo salad . The menu doesn't mention, but it's super spicy !

Nick Hurley

The best dog friendly pub in Manchester.

Great outdoor area and interesting beers

Nice location but VERY limited choice of draft beers (unless you like cask beers otherwise no crafty stuff in kegs ). Very slow service and can be pricey
