Terrace, Manchester

The Terrace is friendly new bar that has recently opened in Manchester's Northern Quarter that has an entrance both on Thomas Street and Edge Street.On entering from the Thomas Street side the bar is to the left with wooded candlelit tables along the slender corridor to the Edge Street entrance where it opens out on the right with more wooded tables and a few leather setees.The walls are bare bricked and the floor is reclaimed from a gymnasium,with a few alcoves at the far end. The beer choice was first class with an interesting and unusual array of of cask and imported beers,which included Siberia Rhubarb saison and Fireside Porter both from The Ilkley Brewing Co plus a Samual Adams beer and Kirin Ichiban from Japan.There was also Pedigree,Hobgoblin and a few Spanish draughts.The bar is managed by a former employee of the Trof group of bars and is classed as a Bar Cafe although the emphasis does seem to be on the bar side. Worth a visit.
