cask in Manchester

Fish hut across the road. You can eat inside but take your rubbish with you. Service is excellent and beers outstanding if it's a light ale throught to a 9% Belgium beer. They have a great choice a must if you have never been.

Friendly, welcoming staff. Huge range of beers and spirits from many countries - not your usual boring John Smiths or Carling. Great chippy next door and you're allowed to eat this in the bar. Outside tables/smoking area. Fantastic place, close to Spinningfield, Castlefield Basin and the MOSI.

Great little pub, with an excellent selection of beers, especially Belgian ones. They allow, and even encourage, you to eat food from the chip shop next door inside the pub, which is really nice of them. It's quite pricey, which is my only reason for not giving 5 stars.

Lots of choices, a must go for beer lover

Nice little bar with outdoor seating

Friendly welcome, great beers. Lovely place.

Solid beer, great tea, chippy nearby, boom

Nice Hacker Pschorr wheat beer. Went on Tuesday night, nice vibes in the beer garden.

High quality and variety of beers! Atmosphere and staff are amazing!

Very good selection of beers well worth a visit.

Always good to have a pint here. Good crowd and friendly staff with a great selection of drinks

Fantastic selection of ales and beers and great music.

I had a lovely time! They had a sour beer on draft which made me happy!

Never changes and that's a good thing. Been going for twenty years and its continously one of the best bars going. Great beer, great staff, great jukebox. Also has a cheeky beer garden out back.

Friendly staff. Fantastic range of beers. Small beer garden. And you can bring in food from the chippy next door. Ideal.

Brilliant choices of beer, fantastic staff, reasonably priced and nice pint.

Proper pub. Had a nice Belgium beer. Not as far out as you think, if you're thinking of visiting from the centre. There was plenty of seating when we visited, and enough room to read or play the board games available.

It's a uh, like I dont know what I think about this place

Really friendly and accommodating pub with great beer.

Quite a small dark place but serves good beers and the staff were great when we were in. They don't serve food but they're happy for you to bring food in from the fish and chip shop next door as long as you clear up after yourself.

A great pub in the heart of Manchester, Liverpool Street. Always a great atmosphere with a nice little area for outside alcohol consumption. They don’t serve food, but rated 3 as they allow you to bring in food from the next door chippy, which is quite unique and adds to the atmosphere. If you do visit, try the Alhambra.

Staff are friendly, atmosphere is great.

The best beer in Manchester? Very possibly, great selection and always worth a visit

Amazing beer selection and friendly local pub

Great pub with a fantastic selection of keg, cask, and bottled beers. Usually a great atmosphere, very friendly place.

Great bar with a huge selection of good beer. The Cask was beautifully kept and the range on the taps made me long to stay longer, but we needed to leave for a gig. They were happy to let folk bring food in from neighbouring takeaways as well. Great welcoming place

Stumbled upon this place on the way to my hostel for the night. Intrigued by the bright blue color, the tiny facade, and the name. Turns out it’s a proper pub with an impressive selection of draft beer and cask ale. Cozy, pretty simple, lots of music posters. Just a good ole boozer and reasonably priced. Quite busy and rightfully so.

Really enjoyed our visit Sunday very friendly service

Lovely beers, great atmosphere, cosy,

Excellent beer and friendly staff. Downstairs to the toilets is a bit of a challenge to those with dodgy knees, but there is a disabled toilet on the main floor.

Very welcoming atmosphere, the ladies who served us were very kind. A nice pub that I would recommend for a date.

An oasis of wonderfulness just around the corner from the madness of Deansgate. Super selection of beers. Super welcoming staff. Proper pub feel with a contemporary edge. Great place.

There's a fantastic atmosphere here and the beer selection is top notch, highly recommended!

A great ale bar in the centre of Manchester. Great choice of lagers, beers and ales. 🍻🍺 Also, a great chip shop next door and you are allowed to eat them in the bar. 🍟 As long as you clear away your mess. A nice touch. #manchester #ale #beer #chips #foodie

Nice place, little expensive but city of Manchester's headed that way so not bad relative to it's location

Really nice place, great selection of beers - they don't do food but you can bring in from the chippy next door. Perfect!

One of the coziest places I have been at

Great little real ale pub that really lives up to its name. Good selection of well kept keg and cask. I had a lush strawberry sour at £6. Very knowledgeable staff. Small beer garden (it was March, we didn't explore it, but it was popular with some hardy souls). Dog friendly- that's not our dog. Loved it

Classic pub Manchester institution for me

the bartender suggested to a friend that she have barleys with Weetabix, great pub!

Great beer selection. Always worth a visit if in town. Highly recommend

proper decent boozer. lots of beers on offer. friendly staff. cant believe not been here before

A very cool bar that serves cask beer, premium lager, Trappist beer & craft beers. Plenty of choice & laid back atmosphere. Well worth a visit

The perfect pub. Timeless and a great beer selection with exceptional staff

Last visited January 2024. Cosy bar, good selection of beers. If you like your beers, then it's worth a try.

Nice little bar great choice of ales Belgium beers and German lagers friendly staff will call in again next time in deansgate area

Great little bar for craft and Belgian beer. Doesn’t serve food but able to bring in fish and chips from next door if you take you rubbish away with you.

Relaxed, friendly pub with a great beer selection.

This is a nice little place with a great selection of real ales. We didn't eat there but the drinks were lovely. It was a busy Friday night but service times were reasonable. Overall we enjoyed our visit andI would reccomend it.

Great selection of beers. No food served but you can bring in a takeaway from the chippy next door!

Great atmosphere, awesome range of drinks, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back

Cool place, delicious Ale. Staff have time for you. Nice!

Great Bohemian bar in the heart of Manchester

Friendly service. Nice atmosphere.

If you're in Manchester City centre and you like beer Cask is a must! It's a brilliant pub. They typically have 4 cask ales, all superb quality. They have a great range of craft and international beers, I highly recommend the Augustina Helles! You can also buy fish and chips from the place next door and eat in the pub, although Cask doesn't serve food, this is a great little feature. To top it off the atmosphere is really friendly and chilled and the staff are great. This pub is ace

Corner free house..excellent real ales many crafts also..skilled attentive staff..

Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent beers. The outside is covered. They do not sell food but you can get something from the chippy next door if you take away your rubbish after

Good cask selection (unsurprisingly), not ridiculously priced (relative to area) and had a nice atmosphere for late afternoon/early evening on a weeknight. Seemed popular for a post work 'meeting'. Lighting could be improved a bit in the back room. A bit 'stark' for my taste. Didn't eat (not sure they serve food?). You could bring in fish and chips from next door which is a nice touch.

Child angry pub, bizarre as would have been the only customers and ours are well behaved, shame as beers looked great, parents generally have no issue with something like a 7pm rule. Will spend my money elsewhere

We were well looked after post-MCR Half. Will be back!

Great well established pub in central Manchester, always with an interesting selection of craft and independent ales and beers

Great place for a craft beer. Nice atmosphere and a good selection of cask and keg ales. Bonus: although they don't serve food they're happy for you to bring food as long as you clean up after yourself. Great chippy next door!

Wonderful selection of beers, friendly staff and a complete jukebox

Great range of beers with a friendly atmosphere.

Always great beers and service. They don't do food but you can bring fish and chips in from next door just always remove your empty wrappers.

One if my favourite places in Mcr. They allow you to bring a chippy in from next door and having a pint with a chippy has to be one of the best things.

Great place to have a chat and listen to some good tunes from the jukebox . My husband and I bought food from the chip shop next door. As long as you take the rubbish out with you when leaving, put it in the bin just outside. Thanks CASK 😊

Great for Gluten Free Cask Beer. Cosy bar open all day. Pleased I sought this out.

Good atmosphere, great beers, allows you to bring in your own food, covered beer garden. What's not to like?

Get a chippy from next door and have yourself some actually good drinks with it. Nice aircon inside and a small garden outside. Toilets are clean. Thoroughly recommended.

We came for a drink or 2, so we didn't order any food. It's a Hipster type of pub. Good choice of ales 🍺 Reasonably prices. Would try the pub again, if in the area.

Quiet when we arrived on a Saturday at 12:30. I chose a good pint from four pumps on the bar. There is also a huge craft keg choice. German and Belgian bottles. Nice barman. Looked like it could be interesting with a few in. Music I believe. Well worth a little detour off Deansgate.

This is what good bars look like. Really great place, great beers - especially the very lovely wheat beer. Staff are brilliant, friendly and helpful and just a good laugh, you feel right at home straight away 😊 Plus a nice little courtyard out the back. You can bring food in from the chippy next door (Do check first! Do remove all waste!) You'll have a brilliant time here. You might need to turn sideways to get through the front door. I do.

Love Cask. Selection of drinks is constantly surprising. Prices are decent. And it's a semi-regular event having a Chippy & Cask. Or even Meal Deal & Cask. Friendly staff and the outsidey bit is great when you don't want to sit in the darkness of a rare summer's day.

Nice little pub, nice owners, reasonable prices When I visited it was Monday night and quiet.

Only spent a short amount of time here but the atmosphere and staff were welcoming. Despite my fleeting visit the place and the fine Salt IPA made me feel right at home, a most pleasurable experience!

Best beer selection in Manchester, great staff and atmosphere.

Excellent place with friendly staff and a good chip shop next door.

Nice bar, good outdoors area, very small inside

Great distillery to visit while in Manchester. They make vodka, gin, rum and absinthe. Our server, Anthony, was great! Found out we were from the states and hooked us up with a list of places to visit while in Manchester. Looking forward to drinking their black cherry vodka we picked up and working through the list of places to try while here.

Easily the best pub on this street and one of the best in Manchester full stop!

An excellent place to unwind for the day, friendly bat staff and amazing artisan ales and larger on tap what more could you ask for

Best pub in Manchester without a doubt.

Great beer in this place on keg, cask and in the fridges. Also one of the best jukeboxes in Manchester. Just been again and I agree with everything I've said before! 👍

The food you bring yourself! The range of beers is outstanding.

Great real ales. Good speedy service. Friendly.

It's a fab bar. There is an excellent selection of beers and lagers. A great jukebox. Good service. No food, but you can pop next door to the chippy and bring your food in the bar. Just remember to take out your own rubbish.

A Manchester institution. Great vibes, great jukebox, great selection of continental independent beers. Hasn’t changed for years, and that’s a very good thing.

The better of the two venues I think. It has been consistently good over the years and the beer is always good.

Great selection of ales - staff are super friendly

Just happened to stumble upon this bar. Loved it. We were intending on finding a few places but decided to stay. Had a good natter with the staff. It reminded me of a continental bar. Will definitely make the effort to visit next time I’m in Manchester.

Lovely beer and atmosphere. Even had sheppys cider on which is a favourite. Will definitely come back for more

Great place for a pint after work!

Nice old fashioned pud in Manchester, great beers and atmosphere and friendly staff

Nice little bar. Good beers. Nice vibe. Outside space.

Great little place. Very friendly staff with a nice selection of beverages to choose from! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Cask is always a treat, amazing selection of ales that change on a regular basis, with a great choice of permanent beers on tap. Prices like everywhere, have gone up considerably, so I have 1 less beer than I normally would each time!

One of the best places to grab a bottle of pint of cider in Manchester.

Cask is cosy, the staff are friendly and it always has good beers on

Unchangeably, the best pub this end of town & possibly in Manchester. The staff, the selection of drinks, the music, the atmosphere- everything about this place is great. Plus, you can bring in food from Fish Hut next door.
