5 Best Bars in Manchester, Liverpool, and the Peak District, England

This handsome, unspoiled Victorian pub specializes in craft beers brewed by local firm Manchester Marble and offers a famous cheese board.

This Northern Quarter craft beer bar is operated by Yorkshire-based brewery Northern Monk, ensuring there will always be a stellar range of beers from the cask and keg. What the industrial-style, bare brick space lacks in coziness it more than makes up for with its constantly rotating beers, pop-up kitchens, and regular events.

Surrounded by a large terrace with cabanas, this unique pub occupies a 16th-century oasthouse (where brewers roasted hops) that was brought here, brick by brick, from Kent. The emphasis is on craft beers and ales, accompanied by playful food such as Northern poutine with Lancashire cheese.

Locals pack the tiny rooms of this photogenic Victorian throwback with a green-tile exterior.
