BEER WE GO!

FIVE OF BEST PUB GARDENS IN CITY TO KNOCK BACK A CHILLED DRINK

- LIV CLARKE

IT FEELS like we've waited a lifetime for it but warm, sunny weather is finally upon is in Manchester. So, make hay while the sun shines, as they say, and enjoy the good weather while we have it.

And what better way to do that than by spending an hour or two (or more, we won't judge) in one of the city's beer gardens.

Whether it's down by the canal in Castlefield or nestled among the office buildings of Spinningfields, beers gardens are scattered across the city. Some are small, others are huge, and a respectable number even take the form of rooftop terraces.

We've rounded up five of the best beer gardens in the city. So grab your sunglasses, put on the sun cream and head to one of these al fresco spots.

THE WHARF

Surrounding the Castlefield basin are various bars and pubs offering al fresco drinking, but the Wharf is certainly the go-to option if you're looking for a quintessential beergarden experience. It boasts a huge seating area overlooking the canal which is the place to be on a warm, sunny afternoon.
