SEVEN BRO7HERS BEERHOUSE Ancoats in Manchester

You're not going here for food. The food is passable. Seems like microwaved chips style dressed up a bit. Drinks are good, though, and there is quite often live music every visit I've gone (Friday's) very spacious downstairs and a bit cramped upstairs when busy Honeycomb pale ale was nice

Amazing choices and great beers

The place is fairly spacious. Two levels inside plus a large patio for the warm weather. It's a rather industrial, no frills look inside. Tables are functional, both high tops & low. Service at the bar is thorough & professional. It does not fall inbto the cosy category but that is not what they are aiming for. The bouncer/door man was extremely friendly. High marks for this hire. Customers are friendly & willing to chat. There is a vast selection of beers. There should be something to satisfy all taste buds. We found the quality of the beer solid. A solid drop in choice for a couple pints.

Amazing beer at a superb location. Seven Brothers beer has been popular for a while and their opening at the Cutting Room square has been much awaited. There is a lot of choice of beer on the tap and bottled...But it's on the tap any day for me ,and they are masters at the craft. The location in the Ice Plant building is great and has been well kitted out at two levels with a variety of comfortable seating options. The service is friendly and prompt. Wishing them loads of luck and success in what is going to be a very popular watering hole ,and deservedly so, at the Cutting Room Square and in Manchester. As an update after many years....it still carries on as always and is a great place to have a drink. It's the favourite watering hole of many friends and family who visit me as I live closeby. The outdoor space on Cutting Room square is buzzing especially in the summer. Haven't eaten here yet though have been appreciative of being allowed to get out own food when they don't have a kitchen in action.. especially from Rudy's next door. For Beer it has to be Seven Brothers, like for pizza it has to Rudy's.

Excellent craft beer bar in Ancoats.

always a great craft beer experience 🍺

Loud and busy but comfy sofas and varied seating means it's still good for people of all ages

Had a lovely time catching up with relatives at the bar. A cozy spot to relax and chat. Would highly recommend if around the area and looking for somewhere with plenty of space and seating, with fast service.

Excellent service from George and the staff!

Everytime I've seen my team in Manchester, I've stopped off here. Close to the station, the food is really good and served quick, great selection of beer (Watermelon IPA is the best) and reasonable price given the location.

Held my husbands 40th birthday party here. We hired the downstairs area for the cost of a drinks package. Charis helped me organise the whole thing and was really responsive with any dietary questions. We had a DJ come in and they were really clear about the rules and kept a space clear for him. We had a great night. The staff were really friendly and keen to make sure we had a good time. Even bringing down the drinks when we didn't have enough hands. We had food from the PO Boys at £12pp, which was delicious, they were so coinciencous, making sure that everyone was catered for and doing a brilliant gluten free plate for me. There was so much food, lots of sandwiches and chips, loads leftover. All in the cost was £25pp including the drinks pacakge and food. Would definitely use this bar again.

Great selection of beers, international ciders, and beer garden atmosphere. Extremely friendly staff. Wonderful experience.

All of the staff are friendly and really helpful. Great selection of beers!

Plenty of outside seats to enjoy the Manchester weather. Large selection of drinks including an amazing honeycomb pale and a passion fruit one too. They host a games night on Wednesdays too which is fun. The food smelt amazing but never tasted it, will have to go again to try that!

great bar, staff are super friendly & the food vendors are always fab

Best bar in Manchester! Brilliant management!

Great food, great beer and great vibes. Really friendly place. Lots of places in ancoats have gone downhill *ahem....Jimmy's...ahem* but seven bothers is consistently good. The staff are excellent and reslly know their stuff particularly the manager Charis

Lots of special craft beers! There is a market next to it as well so u can have some nice shopping right outside It was a weekend visit, not too crowded, really nice,comfy and chill environment

Swung by at lunch time to grab a pint as been here numerous times before and enjoy the selection of beers. Asked if it was OK to eat my lunch outside with my pint and was told abruptly no, only their food is allowed. Honestly didn't see the issue myself as was on my own, not like it was a party of 10. Went to a different pub nearby, asked the same question and was told it was fine so they'll get my business going forward. 2 star review as previous visits have enjoyed the beers

Great place for a beer in an interesting part of Manchester. Would return.

Went for after work drinks/food and they had ran out of most things for food at 5:30pm which i thought was really odd- not to mention it was quite expensive and took 30 mins for loaded fries to come… Good variety of drinks and nice set up

My favourite bar in Manchester! Staff are great and the food is incredible. We had chicken tenders and halloumi fries and they were 10/10

Great atmosphere for the euros however ordered some food and the chicken tenders were EXTREMELY over cooked. Chicken was dry and the coating was too overcooked. Service however was brilliant.

Great pub food was good service good too very busy outside but inside downstairs an up plenty of room had onion rings an chips an chicken a it expensive for what it was beer about same could get aporol spritz for £8/9 quid in different flavours - after all it is Manchester out of main Manchester hustle near a coats up an coming area I think would go again. Down to earth bar no fuss staff busy but nothing too much trouble

It's a brewery's pub. Loads of craft beer. Good atmosphere. Friendly stuff. Highly recommended.

I have tried their stout. It was so watery. It tastes half pint Guinness half pint water.

Edit: So, my review previously said "Cracking pub, friendly staff, great beers"; however after my most recent visit I now feel compelled to update this to reflect our most recent experience here. I say "most recent" as I've been 6 or 7 times before - so I'm not exactly their most regular customer, but I do patronise the place every time I'm out for a beer in Ancoats. Anyway, I most recently visited on a quiet Friday afternoon. There was enough sun to just about make it worth sitting outside, but it was hit and miss so the tables out front were barely in use. We ordered a couple of pints at the bar (Honeycomb/Hazy - about £6 each) and took to the benches outside to enjoy the sun whilst we could. We were getting peckish as it was about 2pm, so decided to order some food. We scanned the QR codes on the benches to bring up the menus on their website and to our disappointment we were informed that there was no food service at that time. We refreshed and reloaded and double checked we had done it correctly, however it didn't change. Not to worry, we thought, if 7Bs isn't doing food we'll get a pizza from Rudy's over the road. We'd done it before a few times and there were no signs asking us not to bring food in from elsewhere. Ten mins or so later our pizza was ready and we wolfed it down with our beers - quite content, and gearing up to buy another round of beers. The next round of beers was not to be, however, as a young lad came storming out towards us from inside the bar, berating us for ordering from Rudy's whilst using their benches. We said ok, fair enough, if that's that policy - but given that we had actually tried to order food from them using their website using the QR codes sellotaped to every bench, we felt it appropriate to point out not only that we HAD attempted to buy their food, but that there was no signage to that effect anyway indicating their policy. This did not please the young man one bit. His tone changed for the worse, he got louder, and louder, to the point that the other patrons were now turning their heads to watch the spectacle. It's not like we were some scrotey kids making a mess... We're senior academics in our 40s/50s from a local university enjoying a couple of pints in the sun on a nice day. We were quite prepared to tidy up afterwards and remove the pizza box from the table, we simply found it unfair that we were being told off like naughty children - he repeatedly insisted that we could have double checked the food service at the bar, making it all about us. We did double check, though, both of us using the system provided to us at the table. "No food service" is pretty unambiguous. It's a shame that it was handled this way, as it really put a dampener on our whole afternoon. Needless to say. We took our pizza box and our wallets elsewhere, and it'll stay that way until I hear that things have changed. There was a time when paying customers were afforded a bit of respect and given the benefit of the doubt when things aren't quite right. That time has long since passed at Seven Brothers. The pizza was excellent, btw. Photo of the offending article included for ironic purposes.

Busy Saturday afternoon, stopped for a nice refreshing draught pint of passion fruit beer 🍻

Great selection of beers....Nice location

Worth a visit of the way to The Etihad

One of the many seven brothers bars in manchester. Nice big bar with lots of there own craft beers on tap. Staff friendly. Food looked good but i didn't have any. Will be back

Simply the best beer I've ever had in my life.

Nice pub, good vibe, serve all kinds of beer.

Amazing beers served by the best team in Ancoats!

We had some IPA and Lager pints and Super good ones. The girls are very friendly and the prices are very good.

Great beer & cider, great chilled out venue

Lovely pub serving a big selection of proper beers and ciders in draught, bottles, or cans. Great service too and a lovely open space. Downstairs can be rented for parties too

They don't show football. Wich is a shame.We had 1pint and left.

3 people behind the bar and i still had to wait minutes to being served because they talking to each other. Used to like Seven Bro7hers beers, but now they don’t brew anything exciting. The selection is also poor.

Great vibe and this place and the guitar duo played great music!!!

We were here for a painting class in the hired room downstairs and it was fabulous. Lovely environment all inclusive for families, dogs etc great place

Busy despite the early hour and nice atmosphere

There is a special area to play board games on Wednesday. I liked this, and played chess with joy even tho I was alone, the host helped me to find players. Thank you! 🤗

Beware, a young barman added a tip to my bill today, ordered 2 pints and he added a tip to the contactless payment. Pretty dodgy considering the pints were 5.80 each! I won't go back there again. Hate this kind of stealth additional milking of the customers.

Love Seven Bro7hers! The friendliest staff, the best clientele! And the beer’s not bad either 😉 always some great offers in the fridge! Very dog friendly too!

We made a great decision right here today. 👍

I love love love their beers. Spacious and friendly pub, reasonable prices for craft beer.

We’ve visited Seven Bro7hers twice already this month. Hopefully won’t be too longer before we get back as the drinks and atmosphere are excellent

No hand pump beer and kitchen was also out of service

Our 4th stop on tour of MicroBrewery pubs & our worst experience. Kitchen closed, 1 Cask Ale on ( ran out after 1 pint) - though a very nice Choc stout. Friendly service but need to sort their beer out - maybe open a local brewery!?

GREAT vibes. GREAT beer. GREAT staff.

Had my 30th/NYE party here, they let us reserve an area downstairs and even let us decorate with balloons, banners etc. would 100% recommend this bar if you’re looking to host a birthday! Great venue with really good music on as well, thanks so much!

Just a nice chilled place to have a drink and be with friends.. no hassle, no nonsense, good beer and good times.

Loved it, great band, great beers

Great beer and staff! No step free access though, sadly ♿

Just called in for 1 pint, the Sling it out stout is no longer being served , replaced with a honeycomb stout. It's a bit more pricey than some bars but the honeycomb stout was worth paying a bit extra for. Visited a few times this year and yet to have a bad or even average pint, all been top notch. Will definitely call again before too long.

Proper real ale pub 👌 and a very good drink 🍸

Great place to have a drink, but can be very busy at times with the bottom frequently reserved for private events.

The best pub ever I like everything in this pub is nice warm and very friendly pub

Brilliant customer service..bloody good pint too.. definitely worth a try.

Great cask ales and regular ales as well. Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff. Def worth the visit

We didn't eat, so I can't comment on that. Such a friendly place, staff took time to chat and make us feel welcome.

Great atmosphere, excellent beer, best company!

Lively atmosphere after work, plenty of seating and good service.

Unremarkable beer, limited selection. Was expecting more.

Lots of tables bigger groups and a steady selection of beers to choose from

Love the honeycomb and the watermelon beer. Will definitely be returning for another pint of each. Enjoyed my visit, quiet and chilled on a Thursday afternoon, much busier with good atmosphere on a weekend as you would expect. Would highly recommend.

Great range of beers in interesting premises

31/08/23: Honeycomb pale ale 4%. Simply the best! 05/07/23: using up the credit 😂 27/06/23: been here many times. Service always outstanding. Since the website change, found I have £20 credit as an investor. Bonus!! Archie approves! Harrison the Supervisor was amazing, a credit to Seven Bro7hers!

Brilliant beer house staff are very helpful and friendly fantastic cheers Kenny

Good selection of beer, efficient bar staff on a busy evening.

Great place for afterwork drinks 🍷

Really nice place. Lots of seats indoor and outdoor. The outdoor area feels like a really good community on sunny days. Plenty of beers to choose from, definitely worth a visit!

It was my first visit Its a nice place. I feel they have better days that would change my review to a higher star rating. The sports was on and it and the people were loud...too much actually. And the beer prices...ive had similar tasting that's had a better price point

Good selection of beers and gins

Fabulous place and friendly staff. Ales were amazing. Cannot wait to return.

Cracking place for a few beers. Friendly staff and great atmosphere

I've been frequenting Seven Brothers on the regular for five years. We've been regulars for the bi-monthly quiz, as well as for a drink after work almost weekly. Tonight, we came to sit indoors after having a single pint whilst sat in the square (which we bought from Seven Brothers). The doorman told us that he wouldn't let anybody in who hadn't bought a pint at the pub. We explained that we had bought from the pub, which he accepted, and we went to sit indoors. We ordered two more drinks inside, and then popped for a cigarette. On our way out, still with half a pint in a plastic glass bought from the bar, we explained to the doorman that we were going for a cigarette, and we were going over into the square as to not hang outside the door smoking (not a nice smell for non smokers). We came to go back in, still with our half drank drinks bought from the bar, and was refused entry because, as the doorman said, "You've been over the road." We explained that he'd just okayed us going to have a cigarette over the road, but apparently he'd changed his mind and refused us entry. We were half way through our third pint, so we were sober, nor did he suggest it was drunkenness. Simply it was due to us having gone for a cigarette. It was 10PM, so they hadn't stopped serving. Upon challenging the doorman, he told me my "reflexes aren't what they used to be". I questioned such a bizarre statement, but he didn't elaborate. I can only assume he was trying to threaten me with violence. Needless to say, we took our custom, and money, elsewhere (to Edinburgh Castle, who were more than welcoming). I'm so disappointed that after supporting this bar for five years, throughout its quiz nights and comedy nights, and all through lockdown when they were struggling, I could be treated this way. I did nothing wrong, and yet seemed to be targeted by a doorman who had no reason to refuse entry, other than an imagined grudge. I won't make the mistake again. If Seven Brothers is no longer a bar that welcomes me, I'll take my money elsewhere. Maybe be more discerning in who you hire on the doors, because it's going to lose you customers. Go to almost any other bar in the vicinity (Port Street Beer House, for example, offer great beers and actually want your custom). Seven Brothers doesn't want you there.

Got the pilsner, warm! Not great!

I cannot rate this place high enough. Food has been incredible every time I’ve been and the staff are extremely nice and helpful. Quick service and great prices and an even better atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Great location, service at bar a little slow and despite being happy hour at £4 a pint they kept trying to charge people full price. , none intended I'm sure but still sloppy to keep doing , great board games to play

The beer was not bad. But it was just too loud in there. Background music was too high so everyone was talking very loud. On ly stayed for one.

Been here several times. There's a good selection of beers and the staff are very friendly. Recommended

Very fresh beers and a lovely atmosphere. I enjoyed playing card games.

Nice spot to grab some beers, wines of spirits. They run a happy hour on most days, which means £4 pint or £6.50 doubles (gin and vodka), which you can't argue with. Plenty of space, board games available and a lovely outdoor seating area, looking out to the square and the market on the weekends. Would go back.

Good atmosphere, plenty of options for a decent pint

It was ok. Felt a bit old ( I’m in my 50s). It seemed cliquey. My partner didn’t much like the beer. My gin was ok but nothing special. Ancoats is the new girl in town but I’d like this place to up its game to make it more inviting for all.

one of my go to places. the drinks are great, especially the ciders. number 3 is my fave! always a chill spot to go with friends for a few drinks to catch up 🍻

Great ranges of beer and in a relaxed atmosphere with board 🎲 games

Great selection on tap, board games, guest beers and always a good atmosphere too. Seating outside too when it's sunny!

Lively bar, friendly staff. Serving a great choice of beer. Set in a nice part of Ancoats.

Love the beer here. Offcuts are still my favourite. Happy hour pints 4-7pm.

Muy buen ambiente para tomarte unas cervezas

This is a great bar, a really good beer choice from the brothers brewery this includes cask & craft ales but also a good choice for non beer drinkers. The bar also serves food from a limited range but was not tried. The bar inside has two floors whilst in the good weather on the day visited there was plenty of outdoor seating. This part of Manchester is now very popular with multiple choices to be made as to where to visit & drink but this bar has certainly made it's mark.

Seven Bro7hers has a wide selection of fantastic ales (You've got to try the honeycomb pale!) And a decent gin menu from their sister distillery. Spacious venue with large communal square outside for those rare mancunian sunny days. Recommend

Fantastic dog friendly place in the heart of Ancoats where you can spend time with a gorgeous pint of beer and any of the activities they usually organise along the week.

The chocolate honeycomb stout is a 10

Really good beer selection and a lovely, large space- the board games are a nice touch. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Relaxed atmosphere for drinks, food and occasional events like pub quizzes. Dog friendly too!

Visited here yesterday evening for a catch-up with a friend. Great place, plenty of seating upstairs and downstairs and selection of beers/ales. Served quickly too.
