    Manchesters hidden in plain sight gem, usually first place for a pint when getting off the train. Superb selection of tap and bottled beers that is second to none in this fine city. Doesn't do food but is surrounded by stalls selling everything you could want to eat and they are happy for you to have them while having a drink. Great staff, great beer, great price. Hard to say this isn't Manchesters finest 🍺👍

    Wonderful tiny pub located in the food market area of the shopping centre and very close to the Centre's entrance. Good range of local cask and keg beers. Friendly service. Perfect place to relax with a tasty beer after a hard day's shopping. Note that it typically closes around 6.15pm, if in doubt check, but don't believe Google, which quotes midnight!

    A small micro bar at the corner of the Arndale Food Court. A proper beer Emporium with real ale, continental lager and lots of bottled beer. Some scoobie snacks but ... a world food court from where you can grab food and eat here. Martin Meerkat spotted yet another new brewery to tick off "From the Cellar. PORTER .yum" ....having said that..cannot find it on Google. Been many times here with Eric..only drawback....time your trip to the shopping centre toilets, and allow for queues...or wear dark trousers

    A real ale bar in the Arndale Centre Market, what's not to like? I used to be a regular customer here back in the day, but that was prior to health issues & the Pandemic. So it was nice to return after such a long time. As bars go its not the most comfortable or quietest, but if you're around you're usually guaranteed a decent cask beer. Today was no exception, there's usually 3 or 4 on tap, today there was a hoppy session ale from Dark Star, "Hophead", a traditional bitter, "Old School", From the Cellar & "Rum Porter" also From the Cellar brewery. All of which were in excellent condition. They also provide keg pilsners from Pauliner, Flensburger & craft offerings from Stone brewery, Brew York, Cloudwater & From the Cellar. There are also 4 x large beer fridges with a great selection of tinned craft ales & pilsners, with ciders also being available. Overall this is a great little bar frequented by a sprinkling of friendly locals & market traders alike. Warning, depending on where you sit It can get drafty as despite the errected wind barriers around its perimimeter, its location adjacent the entrance makes it difficult as people constantly leave the door open! All that said, this is a lovely little friendly bar & if you can squeeze in a corner away from the entrance you'll be fine.

    Microbar inside Arndale Market. A good choice of beers. A nice place to spend an hour away from shopping. Good service. I think you can eat your own food at the tables. I chose the From the Cellar Sunshine , which was probably not the best choice, but I wanted a change from stouts and porters.

    Great little bar with plenty of ales IPAs larger& ciders can be a bit pricey on some drinks

  • 5/5 Butty Box b. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little bar spoilt for choice for the beers and cider and a big plus hot pork scratching a great place to get round the world food from the many stalls in the market which you can eat while you are having a drink the view outside is all the people coming to Manchester a great place to chill or just for lunch

    Micro Bar - Arndale Market Good selection of tap & bottled beer/ciders to choose from. Ideal for a quick drinks break while shopping in Arndale. The, aptly named, micro bar shuts when the mall closes, so no room for Iate night partying. This place could also double up as a men's crèche when their partners are shopping in Arndale. No football screens, so a good place for conversation. If seated next to the window, one could also see time and people go by on Manchester High Street.

    Fantastic micro bar to visit in the arndale food market area, there's plenty of variety of beers from all over the place, it's a great area to get some food from the market and take it into the micro bar but only if you are getting drinks. A great couple who work there we recommend to anyone in the area go in buy a beer or wine sit and chat and watch the world go by.

    Whenever am in the arndale I come to the indoor market and foodhall just for a drink here. A bit pricey but worth it to taste their ever changing craft beer and larger. Plus the wide range of bottled drinks, especially the cider choice. The staff are always more than happy to help you choose and really warm and friendly

  • 5/5 Tom S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely little bar. The range of beer is amazing. Highly recommended. Nice seating area and you can bring the food you get from the indoor Market as well. Staff are friendly.

  • 5/5 Sid M. 2 years ago on Google
    A must visit bar for the beer buff . 3 changing real ales as well as local and European award winning classic beers. Another plus is the ability to eat in meals sourced from the onsite food outlets

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
