A Great Town Center Pub
This is a proper pub that serves good ale. The staff were friendly. The place has the feel of an old town boozer. Unspoilt and atmospheric.
I visited the City Arms again with friends and enjoyed another great night in my favourite pub in Manchester...
We love this pub... it can be found near the Town Hall on a back street (Kennedy Street) behind the Waterhouse Wetherspoons pub and next to The Vine pub... about a two min walk from St Peter's Square Metrolink station...
The City Arms is a traditional pub with two rooms and wooden floors... the front room has a large space to stand in front of the bar area, whereas the back room has plenty of seats & tables...
For real ale lovers there are about eight handpumps that usually serve Titanic Plum Porter, Moorhouses & Pendle ales, plus upto six changing cask ales... an excellent choice of ales can always be found here, along with the usual other drinking options for those who prefer other drinks...
Can get busy at lunchtimes and weekend evenings but well worth seeking out this wonderful real ale boozer - well worth a visit...
A truly fun, cozy pub that was rockin’ on an early Friday afternoon. Full of groups of friends catching up over some fine ales. Rustic is an understatement. This place has seen its share of time and patrons. Young, friendly guy at the bar explained some of their cask options, of which there are many. Plenty of regular draft, too. An absolute classic of a pub that I fear will disappear based on the age of the clientele.
Cracking boozer in Manchester City centre. Large selection of ale including gluten and vegan options. 2 main rooms both with a nice ambience for drinking. Small outside area at back which is sheltered. Very good service behind the bar. Sells jumbo packs of midland pork scratchings for £2. Highly recommended is this pub 🍻 🐷

Excellent pub less than 10 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station. Eight cask beers on handpump including two porters and a mild when I last visited. A few seats outside on the quiet street. Very friendly and helpful staff.
The pub is located between a Wetherspoon’s pub called the Waterhouse and the Vine Inn.
Superb side street traditional style pub in Manchester City Centre, offering a great selection of cask ales and a few keg in lovely condition.
As you can see from the photos, the range of styles on cask - all of the board is cask except from the bottom two, and is constantly rotating - is very varied and well balanced from a DDH Pale, bitter, mild to porter - and the breweries they are supplied from are absolutely top notch.
I paid £5.50 for a pint of the Brew York DDH Pale, which was served in the correct glass with a lovely head.
Staff are friendly, and the atmosphere was good with a nice splattering of couples and groups in on a Monday lunchtime.
Definitely one for ale lovers to seek out.
Great 'proper old boozer'. Great selection of craft ales and popular brands. No gimmicks just a great pub
I have been visiting this pub for over 20 years and h is a great little place. The beer selection is always good and it has a laid back vibe. It's well worth a visit if you haven't been.
Great brittish pub with a good selection of beer - including Guinness!
What a proper old fashioned pub. I really enjoyed my time in here having a few scoops. It was very busy but was not that bad waiting to get served.
Great, unpretentious pub, probably if not the best one central Manchester. Good range of well kept beers and first class staff.
Good city centre pub with good ales just off St. Peter's square
