Wharf is situated in Castlefield Basin, dominating the confluence of the main canals, Rochdale and Bridgewater. Its entrance faces the canals and the large open area between it and Deansgate, as though to entice the weary traveller to its hearth. The front is surrounded by a patio for the summer days, where crowds gather to while away a warm evening, overlooking the canal and a portion of Manchester's significant industrial heritage. Entering one is presented by the long bar, with its impressive array of 12 handpumps, depending on throughput and time of the week this could be 6-12 separate beers of a wide variety to suit most palates. The food is very good, with a wide range of sizes as well as tastes. While not cheap, the quality shows. These are not ding meals! Recently refurbished January 2026. Pub runs a meal ticket scheme where you can exchange vouchers given for meals purchased for free meals. There is a bar outside on busy days. The third permanent beer is ShinDigger IPA branded as Wharf IPA.
