Welcome to The Rain Bar

Having been recently refurbished, the Rain Bar is looking the best it’s ever been. The central bar at the heart of our pub is stacked with award-winning cask ales, lagers and an array of wines & spirits from around the world. We also serve a number of cocktails and non-alcoholic options – if you have a drink in mind, chances are, we have it.

The Rain Bar makes for the perfect place to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a couple of beers or a glass of wine before heading off out into Manchester. Our menus are stacked full of choices, with pub favourites such as fish & chips and not forgetting our legendary Brewery Tower Burger.

OUR MENUS

Our new Autumn menu has landed and we’re serving up some hearty dishes for you to come and try like our delicious griddled Chennai lamb burger.
Let’s not forget about our unbeatable Sunday roast too with bottomless Yorkshire puddings and unlimited gravy. We think we serve the best Sunday roast in the area, but there’s only one way for you to find out…

Christmas

Looking for a Christmas to remember? We’re the perfect pub to host your Christmas party in Manchester with all your nearest and dearest. Join us for the festive period where we’ll have our real fires lit, mulled wine and the famous JW Lees Plum Pudding pouring and hearty festive dishes being served.
For a truly memorable Christmas, come and join us at Rain Bar.

IN MANCHESTER CITY CENTRE

When the sun decides to show its face, join us for a Manchester Craft Lager out on the terrace and enjoy your pint in the best beer garden in Manchester, just off Bridgewater Street looking onto the canal. Our beer garden ticks all the boxes and with its outdoor heaters and it is the perfect place to wind down after a day at the office.

Last but not least, not forgetting the intimate dining space in our downstairs bar that can also be rented on request.
