You heard us right: what could very well be Manchester\u2019s favourite new beer garden has just landed over in St John\u2019s, and all can envision is non-stop sun, suds and sporting action all summer long.<\/p>\n
This, my friends, is \u2018The Green\u2019.<\/p>\n
Capturing a kind of mix between the simple combo of wide open space, booze and hopefully sun on the Stevenson Square we all know and love, with a bit of the Boxpark fanfare that will make it perfect come World Cup, we\u2019re big fans of what they\u2019ve put together here.<\/p>\n
Think the Tony Wilson Place square\/First Street complex<\/a> that often hosts a pop-up screen and a Manchester Jazz Festival stage, meets Oast House and then some.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that this place is significantly bigger than you\u2019ll find in most corners of central Manchester, complete with plenty of room to perch, from the rows of deckchairs to even tiered step seating that runs along the edge.<\/p>\n There\u2019s new artificial turf laid down, complete with fresh wooden borders, lamp lighting, big benches perfect for squeezing plenty of mates on each side, as well as a decent number of small parasols. There are even QR codes to save time ordering at the bar.<\/p>\n Speaking of, the bar is already full up and running with a very solid lineup of summery drinks, for beers and fruity ciders to Aperol and plenty more. You are paying the expected St John\u2019s<\/a> prices, but when the rays hit just right, the footy\u2019s on and you\u2019re with your mates, you won\u2019t hear us complaining.<\/p>\n Not just batch stuff being proud from the tap either \u2013 they\u2019ve got cocktails, creative twists on frozen margs and lots of other stuff still in the pipeline.<\/p>\n But understandably, the instant start of the show is that large screen, which has already got us dreaming of the World Cup<\/a> and tournament season year in year out, for that matter. And when we say large, we really mean it\u2026<\/p>\n The lawn itself is plenty long, and the massive monitor is high up enough on the old studio wall that not a single soul will be missing a second of that action.<\/p>\n Be it the footy, Wimbledon, F1, rugby \u2013 whatever the discipline happens to be, we can\u2019t wait to find any excuse to watch it all here (weather permitting). Only a short distance from Deansgate, Spinningfields, Castlefield and more, we feel like this spot is about to blow up.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also be glad to know that while you can\u2019t take food and drink<\/a> from other venues around the beer garden itself, they\u2019ve got a food lineup all of their own coming very soon, centring around Manchester locals and regional indies. That\u2019s what we like to hear.<\/p>\n It\u2019s just what that Grape Street area needed, and regardless of whatever potential seasonal shifts it might need to make, we hope it stays here for a very long time. Good vibes all-round.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/p>\n For all the latest news, events and goings on in Greater Manchester,\u00a0subscribe to The Manc newsletter HERE<\/a><\/p>\n Featured Images \u2014 The Manc Group<\/p>\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/beer-gardens-mcr-29-5-2026-the-manc-group-DJ-1600x1200.jpg.webp\")
