Wedged beside the industrial heritage of the Oxford Rd railway viaduct and the River Medlock, indeed the seldom seen river can be viewed from a pleasant balcony. This is a sister pub to the Thirsty Scholar, it is a smart, modern yet traditional bar that is both relaxing and busy. Fixed seating sits down one side, with dining furniture and Chesterfield sofas in front of the bar. Plenty of doors on the opposite side of the room give you access to that river view, whilst telly-watchers are catered for in large-screen style (usually muted). Food is served daily until 7pm (5pm weekends).

Information for this venue is provided by the Central Manchester Branch of CAMRA
