About The Deansgate
A traditional drinking pub in Spinningfields that feels nothing like the polished chains surrounding it. The beer selection is the main event — cask ales among them — and the bar staff keep things running with a cleanliness and attentiveness that's genuinely uncommon in a busy city pub. Upstairs, the restaurant leans into grills, and the sausage rolls and steak sandwich are the dishes people mention by name. The cosy rooms make it an easy place to lose an hour or two over a pint, whether it's a weekday lunch or a Friday night. Josh behind the bar has been called out by name for good reason.
