The Old Nags Head, Traditional pub with roof terrace in Manchester, United Kingdom.
The Old Nags Head is a traditional Victorian-style pub in Manchester spread across multiple floors. Inside, you'll find extensive wood paneling, an island bar with a staircase, a pool room with four tables, and a seasonal roof garden terrace.
This establishment has served the Manchester community for decades, maintaining its traditional character through changing times. Multiple ownership transitions, including current management under the Stonegate group, have shaped its evolution.
The roof terrace displays murals honoring Manchester figures like George Best and Tony Wilson, connecting to the city's football heritage and music scene. These artworks remind visitors of how deeply these personalities shaped local culture.
The pub opens at midday Monday through Thursday until 11 PM, Friday and Saturday until midnight, and Sunday until 8 PM, with real ales on tap like Sharp's Doom Bar and Timothy Taylor Landlord. Allow time to explore the different levels and spaces throughout the building.
The venue functions as an event space with a function room holding up to 300 people, while also hosting DJ nights and monthly live performances. This blend of traditional pub setting with modern entertainment makes it more than just a place to drink.

Manchester's rooftop bars and terraces let you step above the city streets and see things from a different angle.

They serve everything from craft cocktails and craft beers to proper meals and casual bites. Whether you want a quiet spot for a drink or a place to gather with friends, these rooftop spaces offer something different from ground-level venues. You get the city views, the open air, and good food and drinks all in one place. Some are sleek and modern, others feel more relaxed and casual, but they all share that sense of being lifted above the everyday rush of Manchester below.
