Welcome to The Rain Bar

Reopening is good news but we have to do so responsibly. When visiting we’ll ask you to observe new rules put in place to keep you and our team members safe (click here to view). Please note that our bookings and tables are for a maximum of 8 people, please check for specific local restrictions. At our busiest periods your table may only be reserved for 2 hours and we will ask for your contact details as a precaution. In booking or visiting you’re confirming agreement of all our C-19 requirements. We’re putting your safety first to ensure your experience is an enjoyable one.

The Rain Bar is a multi-award winning bar in the heart of Manchester. We serve a selection of JW Lees cask ales, premium spirits, and our cellar is full of quality wines; there’s something to suit all tastes, whilst our attentive team ensures you receive a warm welcome whatever the weather. We serve traditional pub grub and mouth-watering specials, all day every day. Our menus are filled with hearty pub food favourites and fresh new dishes, perfect for the season. Our walk-in approach means no booking is necessary, however if you want to ensure a table please book online. Be sure to arrive early when the sun is out as we have the number one sun terrace in Manchester overlooking the Bridgewater canal, voted the Best Outdoor Terrace by Manchester Confidential, for summer 2016. There are always plenty of events taking place in Manchester and at the bar.
