Popular and well established Belgian style bar on the fringe of the Northern Quarter of the city. The bar on the left serves the long narrow room. There is also a partially covered beer garden at the rear. Five real ales from near and far as well as a good range of draught and bottled continental beers. The decor is quite eclectic ranging from cartoons to rats and even a motorbike. North Manchester CAMRA branch 'Cider Pub of the Year 2015'. Ducketts of Burnley urinals worth a leak. Apparently the remnants of the long covered River Tib runs through the cellar.

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