Welcome to Rain Bar

Rain Bar is one of the most iconic pubs in Manchester city centre. 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 for you to enjoy in the cosy pub or out in the best beer garden in town.

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, sharing plates, pub favourites such as fish & chips and not forgetting our legendary Brewery Tower Burger.

Upstairs at Rain Bar there’s a stunning events space with a private bar, and a Boardroom ideal for private meetings, small conferences and even weddings.

OUR MENUS

Our winter menu serves up hearty pub dishes for you to share with mates over a few beers or for a proper meal after a long day in town.
The Chennai Lamb Burger is one of our favourites right now and 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…

BEST BEER GARDEN

One of Manchester best beer gardens, with outdoor heaters and jumbrellas perfect for cosying up with a pint in Winter, and when the sun decides to show its face, join us for a Manchester Craft Lager out on the terrace. Just off Bridgewater Street looking onto the canal, our beer garden ticks all the boxes and 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.
