The
Bridgewater area of Manchester is the home to some of the
best drinking houses in the city, including the highly celebrated
Peveril Of The Peak, Briton's Protection and Rain Bar.
With the Bridgewater Hall,
Palace Theatre, Deansgate Locks,
Peter Street, Portland
Street and Oxford Road
all within a drunken stumble away, you can see why this
area of town is the ideal place to start any night out.
The Bridgewater area possibly captures Manchester at its
best. Fantastic.

Bar was named so because it was built on the site of an
umbrella factory. Fantastic architecture it's almost two
bars in one; a typical Mancunian pub downstairs and a classy
bar upstairs. Sit outside by the canal in the summer or
keep warm in front of the real fire in the winter. |

| Probably
Manchester's most famous pub. Famed as being Eric Cantona
regular, it was also Robbie Coltraine's local in the Cracker
TV series. Inside it is very quaint and cosy if you can
get a seat. Depending on your taste, you might walk in and
just walk out again, or maybe you'll love the character
of the pub and enjoy. |
