Manchester brewer, Joseph Holt took on the franchise of this outlet on 16/7/2021. This meant the return of cask ale to Terminal 2. The pub even has its own on-site microbrewery, apparently the first airside brewery in the UK! This occasionally produces the airport-only Bridgewater Ale. Holt's included traditional architectural features such as parquet flooring, exposed brickwork, part-panelled walls, ceramic tiling, leaded glass, and green leather seating across a number of distinct areas. Seating ranges from high tables near the bar to booth seating further back, dining tables, sofas, armchairs, and quieter spots looking out onto the runway. Altogether it gives an air of comfort and sophistication. The feature wall of beer barrel ends at the entrance makes a statement.
Historic Interest
On 16/7/2021 this became an outlet of Manchester family brewer, Joseph Holt, named the Bridgewater Exchange. In late 2016 it became Cabin, a featureless keg bar in the airport terminal. Originally opened January 2009 as Observatory on the air-side only of Terminal 2. At that time till late 2016, it was great to see return of cask to Manchester Airport.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 1 regular beer.
