Fierce Bar

57 Thomas Street, Manchester M4 1NA

Converted from a shop into a small one room bar in 2010 by Marble Brewery. Refurbished in December 2015 with a new upstairs bar opening on 4th February 2016, a further refresh took place in late 2018 which made the upstairs bar a more welcoming space. In August 2020 it closed having been sold by Marble to Fierce Beers from Aberdeen. It opened on 4th September as their third outlet, the first outside Scotland. There are 15 lines of Fierce keg beers.

Angel

6 Angel Street, Manchester M4 4BQ

The Angel is found huddled within a flurry of new development in what was a notorious slum area, known as Angel Meadow. The horrendously busy junction on Rochdale Road makes it a hard place to reach at times but is worth making the effort. With a fine selection of beers adorning the dozen handpumps, there is something to suit most pallets. The house beer is a light, pale ale from Howard Town, usually balanced by a powerful dark beer at the other end of the spectrum. As a historic pub, refurbishment works are slow and expensive, however, they are making progress. The plumbing in the Gents, long closed for the necessary improvement, has now been suitably reinstated, with very few changes made to the tiling. The outdoor temporary arrangement may be retained for outdoor summer events. It seems The Angel will continue to serve both the new and old community for a while to come.

Bar Fringe

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.
