North West
THE BANK
Our pub is in one of the most culturally and historically important buildings in Manchester. Originally known as The Portico Library, it was conceived in 1803 by a group of businessmen and built-in Runcorn stone with a neo-classical style. The library and newsroom opened three years later in 1806 and the Portico Library still survives upstairs to this day.

THE PHILHARMONIC DINING ROOMS
Dazzling and flamboyant, our pub has its own deserved place in history as 'the most ornate pub in England'. Known as 'The Phil', our magnificent hostelry takes its name from Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall, directly opposite us. Commissioned between 1898 and 1900, it’s a showpiece design, created in the style of a gentlemen's club. We have long been a favourite with concert-goers and performers alike.

THE OLD WELLINGTON
Built-in 1552, The Old Wellington is the oldest building of its kind in Manchester. Nicknamed ‘The Old Welly’, our pub became part of Draper’s Shop in 1554 and was the family home of the Byrom family. It was John Byrom, born here in 1692, who invented an early form of shorthand. Our half-timbered traditional building was moved 100m from its original site as part of a redevelopment programme in 1998.
