Withington pub to be replaced by cult Manchester burger brand Almost Famous

Almost Famous is heading to Withington. The cult Manchester burger brand, which ushered in the patty revolution in the city, will be taking up the spot vacated by The Libertine pub.

The Libertine was opened last August by the team behind the likes of Cottonopolis and The Edinburgh Castle. However, it closed before Christmas, citing issues surrounding its energy contracts.

The pub was opened in the historic Old District Bank, with Almost Famous now moving in to benefit from the fit-out of the Grade II listed building. They plan to open up by the end of May, with a week of parties.
