What to look out for when you get there
The Bank
The Bank stands within the Portico Library, one of the city's finest institutions. In 1803, a group of wealthy businessmen raised funds to build a library to match Manchester's status as a world-class city. They built it here in 'the most elegant and retired street in town'.
The Old Wellington
This building has fuelled much of Manchester's glorious commercial and industrial past. The Old Wellington's past inhabitants founded the city's first bank, developed its cotton industry, and built the city's first quay.
In 1998, the entire building was dismantled and moved 100m before being reassembled exactly as it was before the move.
The Sawyers Arms
The Sawyers Arms is a grade II listed building proudly standing on Deansgate, one of Manchester’s most historic streets. Pints have been proudly poured here since the 1700’s.
The Philharmonic Dining Rooms
The 'Phil', as we're affectionately known, takes its name from the concert hall opposite. The building is a dazzlingly flamboyant piece of Victorian architecture.
It's been described as 'the most ornate pub in England' and 'the most lavish pub in Britain'. The craftsman's art reaches its peak in the gentlemen's toilet. Ladies may view with permission – and with caution.
