Grand Central is located just south of Manchester city centre, close to Oxford Road Station and is sister pub to the Flour and Flagon on Grosvenor Street.

A long and thin building, the main bar is directly in front of you as you enter. The stage is to the right while to the length is a deceptively large seating area.

Grand Central is a rock pub conveniently close to Oxford Road Station. With 2 hand pumps, they focus on providing a dark and a light beer, with the darker being Robinson's Trooper. The blond has been Moorhouses White Witch, with others rotating in going forward. Live music is a feature, with most nights of the week incorporating something, whether live or DJ led. A new venture is an open mic night on Wednesday, where anything goes, from any music genre to comedy, rewarded by a pint.

GC gives a friendly welcome to all ages and there is a discount for anybody wearing a GC hoodie.
