Opened March 2015 in a former shop unit in the then Gateway House on Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station approach has established itself as a popular venue particularly those toing and froing from the Station. The bar on the ground floor features a largely standing room area with a mixture of tall tables and lower table seating; upstairs is a seating area with bench, pool table and toilets and a terrace overlooking Piccadilly approach, also seating outside at the front. Five cask ales and a number of craft ales are dispensed; following a bar refresh in 2018 the cask ales continue to be dispensed through handpumps rather than through fonts. Large beer and price list on the wall to the right of the bar. Freshly prepared pizza is now available from 11:30 each day. The cellar is upstairs. May close early if not busy. Varied cask selection, always changing.

Very handy for trains (and potentially missing them).
