Wayfarer replaced the short-lived Mecanica (less than 3 years) which in turn replaced the Quick Brown Fox and opened on July 2023. This bar is in the same chain as The Freemount further down Oldham Street

The original Quick Brown Fox had lasted less than a year after a very lengthy conversion from it's previous use.

No cask ale and some fairly standard keg offerings as well as cocktails. Food is snacks.
