In the heart of St. John’s District, Stables Tavern is a Manchester city-centre pub built around the craft of a proper pint. With ten rotational beer lines showcasing local heroes and guest favourites, plus a perfectly poured Guinness with that velvet settle, every glass here gets the respect it deserves. Add classic cocktails, great wines and a standout whisky selection, and you’ve got a bar worth settling into.

A great drink calls for proper company. Our kitchen serves hand-crimped pies, buttery sausage rolls and pastries baked fresh in-house. Go for a quick bite or commit to the full ritual with creamy mash, seasonal greens and rich, proper gravy. Behind heavy timber doors and the glow of a crackling fire, you’ll find a space that feels familiar from the first pour. Pull up a chair. We’ve been expecting you.
