Circus Tavern, Grade II listed pub in Portland Street, Manchester, England
Circus Tavern is a Grade II listed pub in Manchester featuring two rooms with a quadrant-shaped bar. It serves traditional cask beers and draft beer in a compact original interior space.
The building was constructed as a residence in 1790 and converted into a pub in 1840. It gained Grade II listed status in 1994 due to its historical importance.
The walls display photographs of Manchester United players who visited over the decades, creating a connection to local football culture. These images show how the pub became a gathering place for supporters and athletes.
The pub sits close to public transportation stops for easy access. It opens Monday through Saturday until 11:30 PM and Sundays until 10:30 PM.
The pub contains one of England's smallest bars, measuring only a few meters in length. This tiny counter remains a notable feature despite the building's compact footprint.
