The Northern Monkey

You'll find this place tucked away on Dantzic Street, where the Northern Quarter still feels a bit rough around the edges in the best possible way. The Northern Monkey keeps things refreshingly simple – four days a week of solid drinking without any craft beer wankery or gastro pub nonsense. The weekend-focused schedule tells you everything about what this place is really about. You're not popping in for a quick Thursday lunch; you're settling in for proper sessions that stretch well past midnight. It's the kind of pub where regulars actually know each other's names and the bar staff remember your order. The lack of fancy website or elaborate Google description isn't oversight – it's exactly the point.
