About Fell Bar Chorlton
Fell Bar Chorlton is the Cumbrian brewery's southernmost outpost, a micro pub that does one thing well: beer. You'll find 12 keg lines and 4 cask lines rotating through Fell's own brews alongside guest beers and cans stocked in the fridge. The space is small and modern with a south-facing patio that seats about 30, inside seating for regulars, and background music that doesn't drown conversation. Reviewers consistently praise the beer selection and note it's listed in the 2023 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Nibbles are available if you want something to eat. Card payment only. Dogs are welcome, and it's marked as LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safespace. The crowd skews groups and regulars rather than solo drinkers, and it fills up quickly on weekends.
