The Deansgate reopened in November 2022 having closed over a year earlier. It is now owned by Greene King. Another of our disappearing traditional street corner locals, sighted within the shadow of Manchester's tallest structure, the Beetham Tower, with an impressive exterior. The interior is no less resplendent, with a certain whiff of old colonialism with its own ambience. From the front bar, there is a stand-up drinking area and a delightful array of other rooms and spaces in which to seat yourself. Several mixes of furniture with some raised areas and lounge seating, borne out of its previous incarnations as the Crown and Galvin's Bar. There is a first floor function room, which overlooks a roof terrace and a new second floor function room converted from the Manager's flat. Food is served all day and up to four real ales are on offer, not all from the GK stable.
