Manchester’s most sunshine-soaked beer gardens to visit this weekend

Arlo Wolf has launched an interactive map featuring Manchester's beer gardens that get the most sunshine - which could come in handy this weekend.

The Manc The Manc - 16th July 2021

Mancunian locals don’t ordinarily need much of an excuse to sit outside.

As soon as the sun pops out from behind the clouds, we obediently take a pew outside the pub and bask in the rays for as long as possible. But this weekend, you lot will be flocking to beer gardens because believe it or not, there’s a heatwave incoming.

Thousands of revellers across the city will be searching for Manchester’s suntraps as “Ibiza-style weather” visits the region.

To make things easier for you, Arlo Wolf has launched an interactive map featuring the beer gardens in Manchester that get the most sunshine.

You can view the map online.

Atlas Bar

The bars featured on the map include:

  1. Atlas Bar

Located in the railway arches of Deansgate, this industrial-style bar serves over 500 different types of gins from all across the globe – boasting a south-facing beer garden that invites in the sunshine.

  1. Dukes 92 

A splendid canalside bar with a beautiful south-facing patio, Dukes has become a firm favourite with the Castlefield crowd and attracts big crowds every summer.

  1. The Wharf 

Dukes 92’s handsome neighbour The Wharf is also home to a large sun terrace that overlooks Castlefield Basin – with a huge selection of drinks and food available.

  1. BrewDog, Peter Street 

All the recent talk in Manchester has been about the upcoming BrewDog Hotel, but right now the top place to sip a pint of Punk IPA is on Peter Street – which has a small yet nicely-shaped outdoor terrace that catches plenty of rays.

  1. The Corn Exchange & Oyster Bar

From Banyan Bar & Kitchen to The Cosy Club, The Corn Exchange’s restaurants will go al fresco from next week. The south-facing square is always a guaranteed hit in the summertime. There’s also Oyster Bar nearby – which has been firm favourite with locals for decades.

  1. Scene Indian Street Kitchen 

Located in the heart of Spinningfields and overlooking the River Irwell, Scene Indian Street Kitchen is relaunching next week with its sun-drenched outdoor terrace. Great-tasting grub and mouth-watering cocktails will all be on the menu.

  1. The Oast House

Arguably Manchester’s most popular beer garden ever due to its size and stature, The Oast House is also apparently one of the likeliest places to get some sunshine. It’s going to be busy this summer, that’s for sure…

  1. Impossible 

Impossible is home to a long, stretching outdoor terrace on the other side of Peter Street – and the venue is all set to relaunch on April 12 with a brand new menu. Bottomless brunch is also returning.

Welcome back, summer!
