Formerly The Albert Square Chop House, The Fountain House opened in November 2021 in Thomas Worthington’s iconic Memorial Hall building on the corner of Manchester's Albert Square. This is the Metropolitan Pub Company's first premises in the North of England. The Fountain House will initially open three of its five storeys to customers – with the lower ground floor for gastropub dining, a pub on the ground floor that serves bar snacks and private dining and function space for weddings and meetings on the first floor. There are 2 other floors above yet to be utilised but planned as a boutique hotel. There are 5 handpumps with currently 3 being used and they will look to put more on as trade builds.
