The Spinner's Rest

The Spinners Rest in Ancoats is the kind of pub that nails the balance between heritage and a modern boozer. Formerly The Shamrock, this historic spot has been a community institution since the early 20th century, and its recent revamp keeps all the character while giving it a fresh lease of life. Expect original features, a warm vibe, and one of the area's few beer gardens, ideal for sunny afternoons.
