Talleyrand, Levenshulme

Small bar set in converted shop premises right opposite the Levenshulme Antiques Market. Something of a hybrid in decor, it has the look of a traditional pub at the front, then up a step to the bar in the middle of the building. This area acts as a transition to the more muted style of the rear room. Overall the place is quite darkly lit, yet has an uncluttered interior with bare floor boards, all with a hint of class showing through in the wood-panelled bar wall. This touch gives a nod to, and is in honour of Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand (his portrait occupies a prime spot on one wall). It sells ten keg and membrane keg beers from a wall of beers taps and has one handpump serving a beer from local breweries. Hosts live gigs and other events such as exhibitions - see social media for details.
