Located on New Islington Marina in Ancoats, Cask is a beer lovers’ haven by the water.

Opened in late 2018, Cask is the sister bar to our Castlefield site, which opened its doors all the way back in 2003 on the other side of the city.

We offer an extensive range of beers, ales, wines, ciders, spirits, spritzes … and for those not in a boozy mood we offer a complete selection of non-alcoholic beers, soft drinks and superb coffee with our beans roasted by Swan Song right here in the city, along with possibly the most comprehensive snack menu in Manchester!

We have 20 keg lines and 7 cask lines with a rotating cask and guest keg selection from breweries close to home as well as from around the world.

Our fridges are stocked with a considerable offering of Belgian ales from the likes of Kasteel, Trappist Rochfort, Chouffe, Westmalle amongst a plethora of other delicious tipples from the region. Alongside them can be found a range of German lagers that feature a range of traditional styles all brewed under the legendary Reinheitsgebot purity law from breweries such as Augustiner, Tegernseer, Andechs and many more.

We offer a choice of traditional ciders from Ross-On Wye Cider & Perry and a host of fruited ciders from Lilley’s that can be found in bottles, keg or cask all year round.
