Website

A historic tavern reimagined on the corner of Bonded Warehouse, this independent venue stands on the site of the Old Granada Studios' Rovers Return.

With 8 keg lines and 2 rotating cask ales, often featuring local breweries, it combines rich heritage with a contemporary offering. Expect a well-chosen selection of beers, classic cocktails, and a menu of fresh, homemade snacks.

Welcoming and community-focused, the tavern carries forward its legacy as a place of conversation, camaraderie, and change—where tales are still traded over a freshly pulled pint in the heart of St John’s.

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