The Star and Garter, Grade II listed music venue and pub in Fairfield Street, Manchester, England
The Star and Garter is a Grade II listed pub and music venue with Victorian architecture on Fairfield Street. The building features a main ground floor area and a separate upstairs room for club nights and live performances.
The building was founded in 1803 and underwent a brick-by-brick relocation during railway station expansion, reopening at its current location in 1877. This relocation was a complex engineering process that preserved the structure and allowed the place to continue operating.
The venue hosts specialized club nights, including a long-established dance event dedicated to a particular post-punk band's music. Visitors encounter an audience that has cultivated this musical tradition over many decades.
The venue is located within walking distance behind Piccadilly Station and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should note that entry to events requires valid identification.
The building survived the 1940 air raid on Manchester with only roof damage from firebombs while serving railway and postal workers. This resilience makes it a quiet witness to the city's wartime history.
