The Manchester

You're walking along the Promenade and fancy something real—not another themed bar or tired chain. The Manchester delivers exactly that: a proper pub where locals actually drink, right there among the arcades and kiss-me-quick hats. The sort of place that doesn't try too hard, serves decent food at decent prices, and won't judge you for nursing a pint for three hours while watching the sea. It's got that lived-in feel that comes from being a fixture here for years, the kind of pub that makes sense to regulars but also welcomes visitors who want to skip the tourist theatre.
