Modern bar a short walk north from Chorlton centre and served by the tram stop at Firswood. Once one of three bars in a short strip of shops it is now the only remaining one and thus gets very busy. There is a large covered patio to the front with plentiful seating although it can get very busy on warm summer days. The bar now operates bar service and table service at weekends.

Five handpumps are on the bar, RedWillow, Blackjack and Brewsmith often feature along with Thornbridge Jaipur now permanent. One pump is dedicated to dark beers over winter. Up to nineteen keg beers also feature. A range of whiskies and gins are available.

Children welcome until 7pm
