Castlefield
is without doubt the most beautiful area of town to go for a drink,
especially in summer when it can get busy. Located alongside the
Bridgewater and Rochdale Canals, Museum of Science & Industry
and the old Roman fortress on Liverpool Road, it houses some of
Manchester's best independent bars and pubs together with some of
the city's finest restaurants. A wonderfully historic setting, it's
an area you can't help but fall in love with.
When
bar culture really hit Manchester in the late 90's, stylish Mancunians
flocked to Castelfield's trendy canalside bars however the area suffered
badly when fashion dictated the crowds walk a few metres along the
cobbled road to the nearby Deansgate Locks. The likes of Quay Bar,
Box Bar and Jackson's Wharf all closed down long before the controversial
Beetham Tower blocked their once beautiful view of Manchester's skyline.
Their architectually brilliant shells left to decay, showing glimpses
of what once was, tragically awaiting the property developer's crushing
ball to make way for more luxury apartments. Fortunately, there's
still some wonderful bars and pubs here, seemingly busier than ever
before.
