Craft Beer in Manchester

If you’re searching for a true European beer hall in Manchester, look no further than The Trading Route, located in the heart of Goods Yard. We’re not just a bar – we’re a space dedicated to scran cooked with Mancunian spirit, paired with cold beer, served fresh and foamy.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick pint after work or settling in for a long evening with friends, The Trading Route is made to serve Manchester’s craft beer lovers with a beer hall fit for the city. Drawing inspiration from the iconic beer halls of central Europe, we serve lager that offers an ideal balance – cold, crisp, and crowned with a full, frothy head. Manchester Union’s signature lager is brewed in Ardwick and delivered fresh daily to be poured into custom-made, oversized Tübinger glasses. This creates a classic continental serve that emphasises the craftsmanship behind every pint.

Big beers, plenty of foam, and fresh from the brewery – that’s what we’re all about. As the Home of the Foam, you’ll always find the freshest Manchester Union lager flowing from our taps. We’re open seven days a week – making The Trading Route a must-visit for anyone who loves a proper pint.

No good beer hall is complete without great food, and our rotisserie ovens are at the heart of the kitchen. Our menu is designed to complement our drinks, featuring freshly roasted chicken served with house pickles and finished with our signature beer salt crumb. Don’t miss our Beer Bites, like the rotisserie potatoes served with pecorino and garlic aioli.

Our food is perfect for enjoying with a beer, whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or lingering over a long meal. We also serve sandwiches on freshly house-baked focaccia, vibrant salads, and small plates like our Bavarian Manc & Cheese. Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it here at The Trading Route.

Bookings aren’t necessary, but we’d recommend making one to secure your seat in Manchester’s finest beer hall. The Trading Route is the Home of the Foam, and we can wait to welcome you down for a pint – book in now.
