The Gas Lamp

"Love classic pubs like this that have a great range of craft beer. We sat admiring the deco, history and culture of the pub. Great beers as well, will definitely be back."

"Very quirky establishment some great craft beers on tap from local breweries and beyond. Massive whiskey options also and a nice visual history on the walls of what it used to be before a bar."

"A favourite of ours since moving to Manchester. Friendly staff, chilled vibe and great selection of beers in an authentic, vintage environment. It's a hidden gem, down some stairs in a basement and stands out from the usual garish, chain or flashy cocktail bars of Spinningfields."

"One of those bars that are hidden in plain sight. Just a few doors up from the masons resteraunt, there's a great big sign above the door way down the steps to this Victorian drinking den. Plenty of cask ales served as well as some favourites. The tiled rooms probably original are timeless which gives it the Victorian feel. Just imagine how many people have frequented this establishment over the years."

"28/09/22: been here many times! Always a great selection of craft ales, unusual brews, but something for everyone! The Gas Lamp is an interesting pub. Housed in the former Manchester & Salford Children's Mission building, the pub has an impressive frontage, but you could easily miss the small doorway that leads down to this basement bar. On descending the dimly lit stairs, the room you enter is certainly different for a pub - Victorian glazed brick walls and little in the way of decoration. The bar is along the wall to the rear and is a sparse wooden affair. The real ales on offer are interesting - no "famous" national brands here - the beers are selected from smaller interesting breweries, many of whom are not seen regularly even in Manchester's multi-ale houses. The Gas Lamp now has its own brewery, Pomona Island, located in Weaste in Salford."
