The Smithfield Market Tavern

Well kept beers with lots of choice. Friendly bar staff. Very relaxed atmosphere. On our way to a gig so a flying visit. We'll definitely be back within the next month.

Great selection of craft IPA, lager, bitter, stouts and porter. Selection is mainly Blackjack brewery themselves but they also have other local breweries on the menu and a few European bottles. Blackjack beers are all suitable for vegans. A tasty range of ciders and perry and also wines. Bar staff are exceedingly knowledgeable and will help you choose the perfect pint! Bar snacks are served throughout the day and night. A large pork pie will set you back £3.50 but for the freshness and accompaniments, it's well worth the price. It's definitely my favourite place in Ancoats to either start or end the night on.

This is usually our 3rd stop on an always great night out.. After a few visits we where really disappointed as they seemed to concentrate more on Keg beers and mostly on European lagers etc and not their own Ales. But the last few trips I have been impressed a lot more. A better range of ales nowadays at reasonable prices..
