Knott Bar

This bar is situated right by Deansgate locks and castlefield bowl so a great location. Has a good selection of beers/ales too. It’s £4.50 for house gin (Gordon’s/Bombay£ or £5 for “fancy gin” (tanquery, sipsmith etc). We had a pint of san minguel, a “fancy” brockmans gin & lemonade which came to £10. They only accept card payments which is great due to the current situations. Lovely chilled vibe and cool surroundings. Only things to note is there is a laminated sheet at the end of the table stating you email your details for the covid register, which isn’t that clear unless you look. & being a bit picky but - Gins would be nicer in gin glasses with the correct botanicals (brockmans should be with blueberries not lemon). The Knott bar

This is a great bar. If you like your craft beer, it's well worth a visit. The range is extensive and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Given the range of beers that's a good thing as you are likely to need some guidance. Thankfully, with a few questions and a couple of tasters you are going to find the beer for you. They have a wood fired pizza oven and serve till late. Well worth a visit unless you're one of the Fosters or Carling crowd. In which case you surely find somewhere more suitable close by.
