Our guide to manchester venue hire

Why should I hire a pub for my next party?


Pubs in Manchester are perfect space for friends get together, birthday parties of any size and even intimate wedding reception.

There are plenty of reasons to host your next party at the pub. For starters, hospitality, great quality drink and pub atmosphere! We all love cosy, vintage-style bars with subtle, warm lighting. 

VenueScanner is based in the capital and as such has a particularly strong choice of pubs with function rooms in London, but if you’re miles from the south-east that’s fine too; we work with fantastic drinking spots right across the UK.

So whether you need pub hire with a large capacity or space for just a few, whether you want pubs with function rooms near me or you’re happy to travel further afield, VenueScanner’s got a top choice of spaces for you to consider.


Choosing the right venue

Venue that doesn't inspire you or your guests is not going to leave a very good taste in the mouth. You’ll find a variety of pubs in Manchester represented in our catalogue. But if you don't know what you are looking for, it is going to be difficult to sift through all the potential options.


What does Manchester have to offer?

Whether you are looking for a casual pub setting or a formal restaurant environment, this city is overflowing with excellent venue hire options for you to pick between.

You’ll find the full range of what's available listed here on VenueScanner; we’re determined to offer the most comprehensive selection of the leading pubs Manchester has on its books.

Searching through our available venues via our comprehensive filter system gives you the chance to customise filters and narrow your selection of potential venues to those that suit your needs.


Public Transport

Manchester is very well served in terms of public transport. There are numerous railway stations located throughout the city centre as well as the surrounding areas, and there is also an airport and a citywide bus system. So if you’re traveling into the city for a private dining experience, reaching your chosen venue should be a doddle.

What’s more, Manchester is one of the few remaining cities in the UK with a tram system, and it takes a little over two hours to get from London to Manchester Piccadilly. If you’ve got colleagues coming from down south, it’s pretty straight-forward for them to get here, too.
