Port Street Beer House in Manchester

Best place in Manchester for quality craft beers with super cosy seating, and good outdoor options too. Absolute gem of a place, maybe the best place for a chill night out in the whole city.

Massive selection of real ales and a brilliant vibe. Prices not too unreasonable either for a major city centre pub

My first time in Manchester and before I went out for the night, I searched for a real ale pub and this place appeared. What a little gem this is. If I lived in this part of town, I don't think I'd end up visiting many other pubs apart from this one. The quality of choice of the ales is superb. Could've stayed there all night. Outside seating area unfortunately overlooks a huge new tower apartment block under construction. But that's my sort of thing, so it didn't bother me. I suspect when the block is complete, this will become a very trendy area to reside.

Great selection of beer and good atmosphere

Nice atmosphere, very welcoming, but I was not impressed by the beer collection they had. Maybe I had different expectations.

Fabulous selection of beers to choose from.

Great range of rregional real ales. Benches outside for sitting in the sun. Not too far from Piccadilly station

Little gem of a place great choice of beers nice atmosphere well worth a look

Great place, great selection of beers, good atmosphere, good location in the center, but a little around the corner 😊

Nice Schnieder Weisse - love wheat beer, nice to go to a pub with a good vibe, serving good beer.

Great range of beers, Cask and keg, always on and always in great condition

Great bar with great beer, recommend.

Super beer range with staff who really do know their beers, and who are happy to advise you on what is on at that moment. On 3 floors so plenty of room !

Friendly bar with really good selection of beers, lovely beer garden too.

Busy as it was a match day. Their cask beers are pretty expensive. Good range of cask beers for most palates. Some glassware is not stamped as pint glasses

The bar maid and man were amazing. More than happy to show the choice of beers and indulged my franking rather fecking annoying questions. It may or may not because they liked me a little bit or because I was paying for my beer, it’s a 50/50.

Great beer, I had the Good King Henry V, 9% 😜 And a Little Orla citra.

Went in with an idea of what I wanted - something intense and strong in a small glass. The bartender recommended an oak aged stout that was exactly what I was looking for. The normal strength cask beers I tried were also excellent - both the pale hoppy one and the darker malty traditional English ale.

Always make sure we visit PSBH when we're in the NQ, great range of taps and lovely staff 💜

Great ale house that I will revisit as often as I'm in Manchester.....see you next week!

Beautiful classic style pub. Like an old spit and sawdust boozer but with a fantastic choice of ales. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a pint after work, and I was asked what my shoe size was. When I said it was 12, the bar keep said "you can't be a Tory" and gave me a pint of frothing ale which I gulped down with gusto. When I did this the entire pub stood up and applauded me and we all started singing "oh jeremy cory-byn", danced a jig and then we all sat down and carried on as normal. (Great boozer, great beers, friendly staff)

One of if not the best pubs in Manchester. Great beer and great staff!

Great pub. Good selection of beers & friendly staff! The welcome football fans so great stop on the way to the Etihad. Would deffo recommend. Nice lil beer garden too!

Love this pub, beers and atmosphere! We aren’t local but come here every single time we come to Manchester- big love from Chapel M’bro

I knew this was a 'woke' pub because it's not full of total bellends.

Mate and i stopped in for a swift one on the way to old trafford (cricket!). We had 2 perfect pints of cask at a reasonable price so had to stay for a second and would have stayed all day if it wasn't for having to get to the cricket.

Great pub, although they always ask for a tip on the card machines which is a bit mad considering it is bar service. Tip for pouring a pint is a bit much.

I've only been once but I found it to be a great pub with a good choice of beers.

One of the best pubs in Manchester

Brilliant pub, great selection of beer and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. If you love beer, this is the place to go.

Great bar! Great tap list, Great vibe!! A must visit if you're in manchester and love your beer, this place has you covered!

Would definitely go again Outstanding staff Killer beers Even have a cute beer garden

I've been going to Port Street Beer House since it opened. It's one of the best pubs in the UK, never mind Manchester. Great beers, great atmosphere and all round brilliant in every way you'd want a pub to be. Do yourself a favour and go. You won't regret it!

LOVE THIS PLACE! Having lived 20 yards away from PSBH for 10 years, and now having crossed the Pennines to Leeds I always make a beeline to what is one of the greatest drinking establishments in the world whenever I head home. Amazing atmosphere, great staff and even better beers.

Fantastic little spot with well kept ale food made freshly on order staff very friendly all in all fantastic experience AAA*

Probably the best beer bar in Manchester, which is really saying something. Great beer, great staff, great clientele, great atmosphere, top marks all round.

Fantastic selection of top tier craft beers and friendly staff too!

Been going for years, always 10/10. Excellent staff, v good beer.

Stay woke guys ;) love you and your beers, will be back soon

Popped in for a post-work pint, the lady behind the bar said before I can be served she needs to know who I voted for in the General Election. After telling her it wasn't her business to know she said 'you must be a Tory' before making me leave the pub. Unfortunately this appears to be a 'woke' establishment. Will not be back.

Great little pub, relaxed atmosphere, welcoming staff who are happy to let you ‘try before you buy’, and dog friendly too! Cask beer is always in great condition, and an ever changing variety. It might be slightly more expensive than others, but the variety and condition means it’s worth it, just keep an eye on the APV as there can be a few sneaky high percentage ones in the mix!

Great pub, one of my favourites in town. Good selection of beers, lots of space over two floors

I love it here. I don’t live in Manchester but if I’m planning a visit I have to find a way to include it in my trip. The selection of beer is amazing, the staff are lovely and it’s just a wonderful place to be!

I visited recently as my sister and I were in Manchester for a few days. Port Street is a quintessential beautiful craft beer pub. It was moments away from where we were staying and over 3 nights visited many times.. Reasonably priced (for someone living in London), with a great selection of beers. Service was second to none with a great chat at the bar, and bartenders that remembered our round... I can't fault this place.. .

Great beer, well kept, tasty snacks & friendly staff. Top establishment!

This pub is absolutely first class. Located close to the centre of town but far enough away to avoid the humdrum of Piccadilly and Stephenson Square. The staff are really friendly and this is reflected in the clientele which is varied and welcoming. The cask ale is really looked after and has seven regularly changing lines which showcase a huge range of regional breweries and returning favourites. There are also frequent take overs from smaller Manchester breweries which support the booming beer scene in the city. The keg offering is also extensive with domestic and import beers on offer. Food is largely bar snacks which includes crisps, nuts, sausage rolls and pork and cheese and onion pies. There is plenty of outdoor seating (street side at the front, alley side at the back complete with electric heaters). Upstairs there is a spacious indoor seating area where events like quizzes and board game socials are held. Top pub, great beer, no further questions.

Nowt better than a few pints here after a jaunt round tahn. Friendly staff, always busy with a good atmosphere, great for people watching out front on one of the 3 sunny days Manchester gets a year. Beer selection is ridiculously good, don't think I've ever had the same pint twice. Just for the information of people who use the word "woke" as a derogatory statement, there's a pub less than 50 yards where you can get yer standard piss water from. 😉

Always a top-notch selection of really well- kept cask and keg. Good snacks, too.

10/10, would be woke here repeatedly

Popped in for a pint, barmaid had to deal with a tory and did so with poise and composure. If this is woke then I never want to be asleep.

One of my absolute favorites in all of Manchester

We love PSBH and we always try to visit when we're in Manchester. Great vibes, fantastic beer selection and friendly staff. Many drunken nights have ended up here and I cannot recommend them enough. Just be careful on those stairs!

Absolutely love this pub. It has the best selection of beers, snacks and a fantastic atmosphere. Beer garden out the back and tables and benches out the front. Staff are not only knowledgeable but they are extremely friendly. I go here as often as I can. Cannot rate it high enough!!!!

Always try and pop in here when I'm in Manchester. Such a lovely little place, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a constantly rotating beer selection. Long live PSBH.

Excellent establishment. Have visited many times over many years and the beer and staff have always been great. Essential visit on any Manchester craft beer outing.

Been following this place on IG for ages and finally I am here now! Got a lovely half pint, Good atmosphere and lovely people behind the bar. Coming back soon!

Great beer selection with a lovely atmosphere. Always worth a trip when we are in Manchester.

Awesome and has been awesome for years. More pubs should be like this.

Great beers at very reasonable prices for the area. The bar snacks are also top notch. Wide range of beers, lagers, and ales. Plenty of seats both inside and outside. Decor plain but adds to the atmosphere

Great beer and atmosphere, always a good time here

Beer was OK. Cask was a little disappointing.

Amazing offerings, lovely atmosphere. They just need a way of cooling down their upstairs area. Too hotttt

Nice pub with good selection of beers. Outdoor spaces at front and back. Friendly staff, popular on a Sunny day!

Great pub, but beer often over priced.

An exceptional beer selection and service! A fantastic range of well-kept cask and keg beers awaits at this Manchester gem. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making it a joy to explore their excellent selection. This place continues to impress, even in July 2024. A must-visit for any beer lover! 🍻 #beerlover #manchester #greatbeer #friendlystaff #mustvisit

Great selection of real ales & friendly, helpful staff. ☺️

Good choice of cask and keg beer prices above average for Manchester

Every day some other most delicious beers on tap. Thanks!

We really like coming here. Great beers,friendly atmosphere. Something delicious to try every time

We had a few beers here the other day while we watched the match upstairs. They had a great craft beer list and bartenders who seemed happy to help. Highly recommended.

£5.50 for a pint of ye ol' Guinness, a most marvelous stout that pressed upon thine lips, giving forward a most refreshing sensation. All to say it's worth a punt if you like a stout. Guinness isn't included with the burger meal deal, you have been warned!

Good little bar with gluten free. Large range of beers to chose from. Outside sitting area also available, when the sun is out in Manchester.

What a lovely place this was. We spotted the place when we parked the car, went to the hotel, and then straight back to this establishment. What a great selection of drinks they had on offer, great atmosphere with people sitting inside and outside. The staff were ever so friendly. This is a bar I will 100% return to, and also recommend to friends if they are in the area.

Great selection of beers. Was not too busy when we came. Good cozy outside seating area out the back.

This is a great find if you like a good variety of beers. The only reason it isn't a 5 is just through personal preference (I like my sours so would've liked to have seen a couple on draught). I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking to try a bunch of new and different beers though 🙂

I'm glad there are so many taps

Great choice of drinks and always service with a smile

Possibly one of the best pubs in Manchester Fantastic selection of beers and Cider. Definitely recommended

Great pub. Super choice of beers and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely pub, lots of choice. Beer garden to the rear and plenty of seating upstairs too. Appreciated the free sanitary products in the bathroom - a lovely touch! Also dog friendly!

Lovely pub/bar 5 minutes walk from Piccadilly Station in the heart of Manchester. There are slightly higher prices than some other bars, but the range of beers, lagers and ciders on offer is fabulous.

Fabulous little venue. Great selection of beers

Beer very nice a good amount of choice would definitely come back.

Great pub, always has a good selection of beers, staff are nice and knowledgeable and good atmosphere

They dont do beer tasting anymore. Therefor i was a bit disappointed

Cosy pub with a good sized beer garden and plenty of room upstairs too.

Great bar for trying a new ale as they change quite regularly, Great atmosphere. Bar snacks from Littlewoods Pies

[photo update] Moose Mousse from Fierce Brewery in Scotland, fantastic chocolatey stout. Akin to a warm chocca mocha in a small glass! Velvety, chocolatey, smooth, malty Definitely worth a snifty! Dog friendly!

Continues to go strong. When I was there two nights ago, I was lucky to get a seat at the bar as it was full to the gunwales. I had a a tasty local IPA followed by a DIPA which was deliciously chewy. Their mexican imperial stout had such a kick of chilli that I was glad to have had only a taster !

Great selection of beers, IPA's, and Ale's. Extremely knowledgeable bartender and just a great place to sit, chill, and have a drink.

Visited for a couple of pints early evening on a weekday. Great service from the chaps behind the bar. Huge selection of beers. Definitely worth a visit.

Great pub with an impressive range of beers. Definitely recommended if you like your beer. 🍻

Cracking beer house/taproom. Plenty of craft and cask on tap. Staff friendly, seating out front and out the back. Good atmosphere inside

I visited this bar upon recommendation.I must say i wasnt disapointed at all.What a little gem of a bar, The choice of ales on draught here is excellent ,id recommend this place to visit if you want to indulge in trying the different ales in such a relaxing aura .give it a try

Cracking pints of cask, and great selection of all types of beer.

Great pub in Manchester with a great beer selection.

Very good real ale bar in Manchester Northern Quarter Beers prices reflect the area Pub has adequate upstairs seating also Saturday 30th March 2024 This great real ale pub in the Northern Quarter has a good range of hand pumped real ale Good staff and a large local following This is also an upmarket pub which has a highly paid clientelle so the beer prices are fairly expensive as the clientelle can easily afford the beers on sale here

When I went last week, they had a superb imperial stout with a strong, rich flavour, well-balanced though strong at 11% - so only a third is needed. Of course, they also had several other beers including lagers so something for everyone !

Great for catch up and drinks before train
