Nice small craft bar from this Scottish craft brewery. Great selection of beers on tap from the brewery and beyond with a well stocked can fridge catering for all craft trends. Games to play and friendly staff. Would like to have spent longer sampling more beer but time was short. Deffo worth a visit

Its my first visit here since 2018, it used to be a regular bar on my Northern Quarter circuit. Formerly a Marble Brewery tap, this is now owned by Fierce Brewery (Scotland) and i believe its their first venture outside Scotland in to the English market. Apparently business is good & this bar has become a firm favourite on the Manchester "beer sceen" being very popular locally. Outwardly the bar hasn't changed that much, with much of the decor looking very similar if not as it used to be. It's not the most comfortable of bars (benches) but if beers are your thing this is a secondary consideration. The bar offers a comprehensive range of Fierce keg beers, I sampled all those on offer (except the lager/pilsners) all of which were excellent! They also have a fridge which holds the full range of their quality specialist style beers, Porters, IPA's etc (some of which were 12% upwards). The main bar itself is on the ground floor with a secondary (overflow) bigger bar upstairs. I'm sure this is a relatively new addition as I dont recall this the last time I was here? There is one toilet situated at the end of the bar on the ground floor, there are also 3 individual toilets on the first floor. (They are all unisex) At the time of my visit they were all spotless & clean, but that was on a relatively quiet afternoon on a Thursday, it started filling up as I left (6pm) so I could imagine that could change when it gets very busy? Overall this is a great little bar, with lovely beers & friendly helpful staff. When I left the atmosphere was just beginning to build, so my recommendation is to get there early. Recommended!

A great little craft brewery tap room. Staff were cool & helpful. Nice outside seating in summer. We didn’t eat so I haven’t scored food. Happy to have kids during the day. Dog friendly.

What a great bar. The staff are friendly and beer is bloody good too. Very nice indeed. Also, the music is great. Just heard a favourite Quantic track of mine. I'll definitely visit here again.

Brilliant bar! They have so many beers to choose from. I kept it simple with their IPA on draft which was lovely. Very cool decor too.
