The Marble Arch

A well established pub with a unique sloping tesserai floor leading to the bar, which has ten taps dispensing locally brewed beer. There is plenty of seating in the rear and in the garden with its sheltered cabins. Food is delightful, the beef and ale pie superb all washed down with Manchester bitter.

A bit of a walk north of the city centre but a visit makes more sense if you’re taking a train from Victoria as I was. Classic, rustic interior. Lots of draft and cask options, the majority of which are their own. Didn’t have a chance to eat because the place was booked for the night (call ahead) but the entire menu looked top notch. A great pub worth the walk and would love to return!

The Marble Arch is such a fantastically majestic pub, real Olde worldly, which has the most amazing decor and most importantly extremely well kept cask beer, I started with a lovely 4.5% pale ale called Norm which was a good choice, so i thought I'd try something a little stronger, i tied Marble Birthday beers no.9 peanut butter and cacao imperial stout which was outstanding. If in the Northern quarter this place is well worth checking out.

You can sense the history of this pub as you get closer. Standing by itself on the corner out living buildings that have come before it and still breathing love into the city. Manchester is full of historic pubs, and being built in 1888, is even cooler. I was a little in awe with the high ceilings when I entered but felt at home within seconds. Bartenders were super cool. This place is also dog friendly, huge bonus in my book. I was also told the beers sometimes rotate making every trip and new trip. Enjoy Marble Arch if you can, it’s worth!

A truly incredible pub! The food is to die for, one of the tastiest veggie burgers I’ve had in 30 years and a special mention to the fondue fries, just delicious. The marble burger was of excellent quality too. Fabulous range of ales of course, will hopefully get to sample the ginger ale on tap next time. The staff make you feel very welcome. Thanks for making our weekend away! 😊
