The Lower Turk's Head, Pub with roof terrace in Manchester, United Kingdom.
The Lower Turk's Head is a pub with a roof terrace in Manchester, featuring three hand-carved wooden bars, checkerboard flooring, and panelled walls that create a traditional character. Church pew-style seating throughout the interior spaces gives the place its distinctive architectural quality.
The pub dates back to 1745 and operated through different eras, remaining closed for 22 years before reopening in 2013. Its most recent chapter under Joseph Holt management began in 2021, securing its continuation as an established pub on Shudehill.
The venue displays hand-painted artwork celebrating Manchester's Northern Soul tradition, creating a space that honors the city's musical heritage. These works on the heated terrace tell the story of a music movement that shaped the local identity.
The place is easily accessible with both indoor and outdoor areas on different levels to suit various needs. Four en-suite bedrooms with a separate entrance are available for overnight guests if you plan an extended stay.
The venue serves Joseph Holt beers brewed just under a mile away, guaranteeing exceptional freshness for every pint served here. The raised drinking alcoves opposite the main bar create an unusual spatial arrangement you rarely encounter elsewhere.
