Micro Bar — Restaurant in Manchester

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...

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...

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...
