The Moon Under Water, Pub in Deansgate, Manchester, England
The Moon Under Water is a pub in Manchester spread across three floors with gallery areas, making it one of Britain's largest establishments of this kind. The venue offers a wide food and drink menu across its expansive interior space.
The building opened in 1914 as a cinema called Deansgate Picture House before being transformed into a pub. The conversion to a Wetherspoon pub took place in 1995.
The name comes from George Orwell's 1946 essay about his ideal pub, a concept that inspired multiple venues across the United Kingdom. You can see how this literary reference shapes the entire feel of the place.
The pub is located on Deansgate and opens early in the morning with daily service available. You can order food and drinks through a mobile app, which makes ordering straightforward.
The interior preserves elements from its cinema past, including the original auditorium structure and star-shaped ceiling lights. These architectural details from different eras create an unusual blend of film history and pub culture.
