Operator: Wetherspoon
68-74 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2FN (View on Google Map)

A huge converted cinema which once boasted being Britain's largest pub with a capacity of well over 1000 people, this Wetherspoons pub boasts 3 separate bars, the main one as you enter, one on the raised area to the rear of the pub and the third on the four sided balcony above the rear bar.

Each bar has its own cellar but the beers in the back bar are duplicated in the upstairs bar. Pub aims to serve six guest ales are served during week, rising to up to 8 at weekends. There is often less cask ale variety in the back 2 bars than the entrance bar. Opening for breakfast at 8am (with alcohol served from 9am) the pub attracts a variety of clientele as it goes through the day and week.

Although a quiet pub with muted TV news much like other Wetherspoons during the day, it is much livelier at night. Often when the entrance bar appears very busy the back 2 rooms can be much quieter.
