Formerly The Bar - the first of Chorlton-cum-Hardy's modern cafe bars in the late 90s.The emphasis is on real ale.

Beers are sourced from local micros and larger micros from further afield. Blackboards on the wall list the beers. There is a well stocked cool box with among other things bag in box ciders and occasionally a perry, some of which meet the CAMRA guidelines for real cider.

There are 14 "craft" keg fonts, with changing guests, and a large selection of bottles from around the world.

The kitchen offers roast meals (usually with a vegan option) on Sundays - the only days that food is regularly served. On the last Wednesday of the month (subject to change) a 5-course themed tasting menu is served.

To the rear is a beer garden open until 10pm in summer/good weather.

Well behaved children are welcome until 8pm.

Please note that only digital payments are accepted (no cash).
