This Pub is Closed Long Term

Closed in January 2024.

A small bar situated on the Castlefield Canal basin, next door to the studios of Magic 1152 & Key 103 radio stations and adjacent to The Wharf restaurant bar.

The bar is small but welcoming with comfortable seating and tables either side of the main entrance with the bar directly in front. Despite the location drinks prices are reasonable, significantly below the norm for the area. The bar's ethos is 'we believe it shouldnt cost the Earth to get high quality service.'

The Cafe bar is open from 8:00am serving coffees & dine-in or take-away breakfast & lunch menus. From 5pm reverts to a bar with dimmed lights and nightime menu.
