About Fell Bar Chorlton
Fell Bar Chorlton is a craft-focused micropub anchored by the Cumbrian Fell Brewery, with three house beers on handpump alongside rotating guest selections. The venue occupies a prominent spot in Chorlton's independent bar landscape, listed in the 2023 CAMRA Good Beer Guide and recognised for curating diverse styles—from oatmeal stouts and pale ales to sours and orange wines. The south-facing patio seats around 30, creating an inviting gathering space, while the intimate interior fosters conversation. Regular programming includes Jazz Jam sessions on alternate Sundays, and the bar welcomes families, with the owner's young daughter reflecting a genuinely child-friendly ethos. Reviewers consistently praise the beer selection's breadth and quality, the thoughtful curation of guest taps, and the welcoming atmosphere that draws both beer enthusiasts and casual visitors back repeatedly.
