The Union Bar is the main bar of Manchester University Students Union situated on the ground floor of the Union building. It is open to all during opening hours. Drinks at the bar used to be cheaper than in the Union's live music venues but in 2009 policy was changed to increase prices in line with venues with discounts available to students and this is still the case. Handpumps for real ale were installed over summer 2009, reportedly due to student demand. However, availability was sporadic and quality variable and it has been reported that the handpumps were removed in late 2010, only to return again in 2012. The Academy IPA is brewed by Brightside Brewery in Horwich especially for the venue and can be found in this bar and at the music venues in the building too. There are several options for food in the adjacent area on the ground floor of the Union Building.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (One Guest Beer; Robinson's Seasonal Ale) and 3 regular beers.
