Northern Monkey Brew Co

Head down to Chorley Street and you'll find Northern Monkey doing what it does best: making decent beer and not pretending to be anything it's not. The vibe's unpretentious—this is a real local spot where people actually want to be, not somewhere you're forced to Instagram your pint. You'll clock the industrial touches and that genuine brewing energy, but it never tips into try-hard territory. The kind of place where regulars know the staff and newcomers feel welcome anyway.
