Ape & Apple, Manchester

This Joseph Holts house was converted from a former bank in the late 90s. In 2025 it underwent a major refurbishment. Although brightly lit, the decor features lots of dark wood panelling & golden coloured picture frames with old photos. Low level seating in much of the pub but high tables to the right where there were formerly booths. There are many TVs dotted around the pub to watch sports.

As well as 3 cask ales the full range of Holt's bottled and keg beers is stocked alongside a wide variety of spirits. They do sell cask Mild in May and Sixex in the runup to Xmas. Located between Deansgate & Albert Square, the pub attracts a wide clientele from shoppers to local office workers but retains a core of friendly regulars.

Upstairs is a large function room. There is a large heated roof terrace with plentiful seating. There is a comedy night every Wednesday and Salsa dancing sessions on a Monday night. The room is available for hire other nights.
