The Wharf in Castlefield is one of the cosiest bars in all of Manchester, with a relaxing and laid-back atmosphere that comes from the picturesque location alongside the canal basin and it's barges that merrily chug along.

A lovely pub, with enough snug alcoves of spaces to spend an intimate night away from the cold outside.
Not only is The Castle Hotel perfect for relaxed drinking session, with pints of rich Winter ales in-between the candles, it also puts on some fantastic Winter entertainment in the form of intimate acoustic gigs and cheesy Christmas song sessions on the Jukebox.
