About Town Hall Tavern Manchester
On Tib Lane in Manchester, Town Hall Tavern is a pub tucked among the alleyways, and it can be a challenge to find on a first visit. The menu runs to pies named Fungi Chicken pie and Moo & Blue, served with a choice of mash or chips, mushy peas, and gravy, alongside a steak & ale pie, bruschetta, onion rings, and fish & chips. At the bar, real ales sit on draft alongside Guinness and a selection of ciders. Live music and pub theatre feature on the schedule from time to time. Service is walk-in, with no need to book ahead. Dogs are welcome on site.

“Had a great experience yesterday. Popped in for lunch and would definitely recommend the Pies that are on offer. I had Fungi Chicken pie with mushy peas, chips and gravy which was delicious. My wife had the Moo & Blue with mash potatoes mushy peas and gravy also very tasty. Well worth it. Many thanks to Naomi & Libby at the bar, they really looked after us. We will definitely be back”
