Sister bar to Cask Liverpool Road that opened in late November 2018. Situated by the canal in New Islington in the ground floor of a newly built block, there are 6 hand pulls around to the left of the bar though there is usually 4 cask beers and 1 cask cider. There are 20 keg lines including a wide range of style.

The keg lines often feature many German lagers and local keg beers. The layout is L-shaped with the bar opposite as you walk in and the handpumps are on the left hand end of the bar near the dartboard. There is a mixture of high table and booth seating.

Was voted 'best newcomer' by the local branch in 2019 and branch Pub of the Year in 2021.

Serves bar snacks such as pork pies

The outside seating area on the canal is a great spot on a summers day.

Information for this venue is provided by the Central Manchester Branch of CAMRA
