Northern Monk Refectory, Manchester

Opened in November 2018 as Leeds brewer Northern Monk's first North-West outlet. Serving real ale with 4 cask and 20 keg lines. The bar, which is card only, is in the room to the left as you enter up a few steps. This room has well-lit tables and the floorboards are bare wood. There is some soft seating at the entrance area and booth seating at both ends and high tables opposite the bar. There are bench and booth seating in the larger second room and an additional function room for hire downstairs where the toilets are also located. Unfortunately there is no lift so there is no disabled access to the toilets. It is a listed building with a smoking area at the rear. Food is sometimes available through pop-ups. The 4 cask ales are served from handpumps at the right-hand end of the bar, these are predominately Northern Monk beers with some classic outstanding guest ales. There is a fridge selling cans and sharing bottles, which are mainly Northern Monk, and some merchandise for sale too.
