When the sun finally makes an appearance, Mancunians are guaranteed to flock to a handful of trusty and reliable city beer gardens - it’s just the natural order of things.
However, if you don’t fancy hovering over someone's table in the hope they’ll finally take the hint, you might be interested to know there’s some spots that have remained relatively undiscovered. Some are hidden in plain sight, others are tucked away on trading estates, and some are more rooftop terraces, but boast enough house plant life to warrant a honourable mention.
So, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve rounded up some of our favourites across the city centre and a little further afield, should you want to beat the crowds, impress your friends visiting town with your hidden gem recommendations, or simply sup a pint in peace and quiet.
