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.

I have been here a few times for lunch. Bar staff always lovely. Food always arrives fast and always good. Never had any reason for complaints here!
Was my first visit with a group of friends from work. Really nice bar large enough for lots of people but cosy as well. Different seating areas and levels. Bar staff friendly. Had a good selection of food. Had a veggie wrap with chips and coleslaw it was only £6 and was really fresh and tasty.Will definitely return here when in Manchester.
It was my first visit here. Lovely welcome to me and my 2 dogs. A cold wet afternoon in Manchester, the place was lovely and warm spotless and so friendly. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. We will certainly return, especially when it’ll be nice enough to sit on the lovely terrace on the canal side.
