PUNTERS at a popular pub have been left reeling by the construction of a new skyscraper towering over its rooftop terrace - with some even calling it a 'monstrosity'.
The Deansgate pub is home to one of Manchester city centre's mostloved rooftop bars but what was once a suntrap has been left in the shadow of a new development. The bar's incredible views are now blocked by the tower.
After closing during the first Covid lockdown in 2020, the pub, which started its life in the 19th century, failed to reopen, prompting concern from pub-goers that it may not return.
Fortunately, in October 2021, brewing giant Greene King confirmed it had acquired the boozer and planned to refurbish it.
It opened its doors once again in 2022 following three months of renovation that saw the pub's two floors completely transformed, along with the outdoor terrace area.
