Located just at the end (or start) of the Deansgate, the pub is two steps away from Hilton and Deanstage tram station. The atmosphere is great: the place has a character, emphasised by various posters on the wall. The food is really good, I especially love how they serve wedges in a red tin mug. Additionally, portions are normally more than generous. Price-wise, most burgers are priced between 10-12 pounds, small plates are under 7 pounds. There is a balcony area upstairs, for those who want some fresh air. They have a huge selection of beers and ales. I mean, huge! They also do hot drinks, such as my favourite mocha, which also comes with a cookie;) read more

I have to say that I am highly impressed :) Being a tour guide for the day, to my Yorkshire friend I contemplated where to take him after a trip to the museum. Sitting in Spinning Fields he said "Pub grub!" So whipping out my trusty Yelp app, the Knott was the closest. Arriving my curiosity was peeked..and like everywhere it was filled with Sunday diners. Stealthily we grabbed a table and poured over the menu. To most people Sunday dinner for a tenner could be considered a little expensive in comparison to the likes of Witherspoon. But the add on feature was fantastic, for £2 extra you could choose a starter or dessert.. So for £12 for a starter and main I was impressed, especially when I saw what food was coming out! Settling on a prawn starter and veggie roast dinner I trotted to the bar. Wow...I thought I'd died and gone to beer heaven. Lots to choose from, from deadly ale, craft beers , strawberry beer, cider...and a million other things. Despite its busyness staff were attentive, polite and helpful recommending beverages Returning to the table with beers in hand, it was not long before our food arrived. I smelled the garlic way before I even saw the prawns, they were fantastically flavoured and guaranteed to keep the vampires away. These devoured, the great Yorkshire pudding mountain appeared, looming over a veggie nut roast and tasty parsnips and broccoli...supported by roasties..the quality and price put a smile on my face. My friend had the soup and sandwich deal for £10 and everything looked fresh and vibrant. All three of us were impressed by the quality for such a great price, the choice of beer and that rustic atmosphere.. I will come again for a Sunday roast at least . read more

I've been to the Knott various times for a few beers and I've always had a good time. There is a decent selection on offer and the building itself is a nice, friendly place. The location is pretty handy if you get the tram into south Manchester too, being just over the road from Deansgate Castlefield. We had food once a while ago, both having the steak sandwich and from what I remember it was pretty good. I've heard good things from other people too. The Knott is a very nice place which I will continue to come back to many more times. I've probably rounded this up from 4.5 as I'm feeling generous but also because I feel this is because this is my kind of place, rather than something absolutely everyone would love. The less beer orientated might not rate it quite as highly. read more

The Knott is the perfect venue to visit if you're in the mood to sample a veritable plethora of unusual and fantastic beers from anywhere and everywhere! Tip: The atmosphere isn't trendy or high-end; it's got plain wooden tables and chairs, with wood floors, but it's got a high-energy vibe and it's usually super busy, especially on the weekends. It's not unusual to have to wait a few minutes at the bar to order a brew, but the variety of beer available and the ultra-reasonable prices make the wait totally worthwhile. On my last visit here, I became quite attached to one particular local beer - Castlefield Gold. It reminds me of an old-time Boddingtons, and with a price tag of just £3.25 a pint it's an exceptional value. All told, there are easily more than fifty different beers available here, and quite a large number of ciders as well. If you ask one of the bartenders what a particular beer tastes like, they're usually quite happy to share their very well informed opinions, and will even pour you a taste to check-out before you buy one. Tip: It can be fun to watch people try to open the door - there's a big sign on it that says "pull", but most people seem to try to push it open. Highly recommended for anyone that loves both a good time and great beer! read more

I'd been interested in coming to Knott Bar for ages as I walk past it approximately 10 times a week and finally came in for a pint (or in my case, INCREDIBLY large glass of white wine) late on a Saturday night. Crowd was boisterous and a bit blokey but it's a cosy place to hang out and one that takes obvious pride in its long history of accolades for its beer selection. Next time I want to try the fabled burger, dubbed the best in Manchester by Ian M.! This would be a great local bar crawl with the Ox, Cask and potentially Atlas across the road too if you felt like escalating into gin. read more

This has to be my favourite pub in Manchester. I don't get there nearly often enough (it's just in the wrong part of town for me) but I love it when I'm there. What I love about it is fairly simple: beer and atmosphere. They always have a great range of beers in (lagers and real ales). The prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly. It feels homely and cosy in there, and personally I find the intermittent rumbling from the trains really soothing. I've eaten here once and the food was great: simple, tasty stuff like steak sandwiches and burgers (and other things not made of cow that I can't remember). read more

Only been the once and didnt make the most of all the facilities - such as the balcony area upstairs. Its a nice enough pub and is always busy. Its won various awards so must be good. Some of the people I was with had food which looked good and they said it was very tasty. I just had a couple drinks. Prices seemed a bit high. £3.95 for a bottle of Becks!!? A pint of Carlsberg for £3.50. read more

The Knott has long boasted a sign declaring it the best pub in Manchester, but a glance at the small print reveals that this award refers to the Hulme and Salford area (I don't know how it got itself into that category and avoided the competition from the numerous bars of Deansgate, given that it lies about 15 steps from Deansgate station). Anyway, the Knott is not quite the best pub in Hulme and Salford, that title belongs to The New Oxford, but it is certainly a close fought battle. The Knott boasts an array of superb drinks, from wines through spirits to lagers and ales. The showpiece has to be the Ginger Ale. No, not Canada Dry, nor another incantation of these horrible alcoholic ginger beers that seem to have sprung up in recent months. This is a real ale with an authentic fresh ginger twist. The ale itself is lovely, and if ginger isn't you're thing, you can have a pint of the standard (ginger-less) version. What it does have over The New Oxford is a set of nice lagers, unusual in a bar where ale seems the main thing, and a pretty decent food menu serving a middle class take on pub food. Its location is excellent, opposite Deansgate station and right on the canal linking Oxford Road with Castlefields. This makes it an excellent place to include on a pub crawl route encompassing Dukes 92 and Cask (avoid Atlas Bar opposite!). It has a nice heated roof terrace and a decent décor, the best bits of which include some old wartime posters and retro music posters. The Knott is one of the few places that strikes the right balance of both busyness and noise levels. We all know there's nothing more annoying than a bar where you can neither dance nor hear yourself think. And I'm not the biggest fan of a strange tendency of bars to play loud trance music with only three elderly men present to enjoy its beatz. No such criticism can be made The Knott though, which boats excellent music played at the right decibel level and an uncanny capacity to avoid ever being too busy whilst never being empty. Pay it a visit (and at least £3.50 if you want a drink)! read more

Probably more aptly titled under its previous guise of Nowhere bar, Knott bar is seemingly the forgotten man of Deansgate. For the life of me I can't imagine why as with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, lots of cosy corners, a fantastic roof terrace, a well pieced together jukebox songlist and an affordable pint it is probably one of the better bars around town. But I do have to admitt that like everyone else, I do always tend to forget it's even there. Perhaps it is it's Chester Rd end location or the fact that it is nestled so comfortably into the stone of the railway arch, or the fact that is coloured in a tasteful and non-attention seeking olive green that renders this place virtually invisible to the man who isn't really looking, I just don't know. What I do know is that I'm going to make a concerted effort to turn up more often from now on! read more

I love The Knott. I have done since the first time I went in there. They've won awards from CAMRA and feature regularly in the Good Pub Guide, and it's easy enough to see why. With around 8 or so rotating casks accompanied by a beautiful range of bottled beers, you might have a hard time picking your poison - but that's part of what I like about The Knott. Whatever beer you like or takes your fancy, you'll probably be able to sate your craving here. On my most recent visit, though, I got chance to check out the food offering. I'm not sure how I never noticed it before, but I've been frequenting The Knott oblivious to their kitchen for ages now. I ordered the steak sandwich, which from the menu said it came on a sesame bun (i.e. a burger bun) but that was not a problem. The steak was sliced, alongside onions and mushrooms, on the bun with some green leafy salad and a horseradish mayo type sauce. Despite being sliced thinly, there was still a glimmer of pink in the steak - points for that. It was also so tender, you barely needed to chew it. Brilliant snack. I ordered a side of the spiced wedges alongside the sandwich, which were actually spicy. Not blow your head off, but enough to give you a bit of a warm glow at the back of your throat. Beer wise, I was fairly unadventurous: BrewDog Punk IPA, Beavertown Neck Oil and Magic Rock Salty Kiss. The latter was a new one on me, but I liked it. I've got a bit of a thing for sour beers at the moment, which isn't quite the right description for Salty Kiss but it's kind of similar. The interior is the same as it's been as far as I can recall; dark wood everywhere, exposed metalwork from the structure, and dim lighting that's not overpowering. One of my favourites, and definitely worth a visit. I'd recommend the steak sandwich! read more

What a pub! Left the rather weak-tasting Wren's nest at The Briton's Protection down the road, and used Qype Radar to find somewhere decent that was doing food. And my oh my, did we hit the jackpot here. No less than 5 delicious ales, including Marble Ginger, and Millstone (hop heaven!), and very probably the best burger I have ever eaten in my life. Everything else about the place is great, nice tables, cool posters (including an old-skool Stone Roses one), lovely staff, etc etc. We came in at 1700, and left at 0100. I literally cannot wait to go back! read more

The Knott is always a consistently good choice if you're looking for a good quality beer, meal and general surroundings for a chin wag - unfortunately with it being situated the polar opposite side of Manchester city centre to Piccadilly station (and my laziness) it means I don't get here that often. Saying that - it never ever changes and I mean that - in the 8 or so years I've been going here so it's great to know it will always be there. Loads of quality craft on tap, bottles and cans - plus very tasty good quality food makes it a winner! read more

An odd little fellow perched on the entrance to both Castlefield and Deansgate. It's almost as it got lost on the way to the Northern Quarter or Chorlton and really for the area it's a bit of a gem. Several reasons: Fantastic range of ales (take that Deansgate Locks); very welcoming staff (i.e. they actually start a conversation with you rather than silently awaiting the insertion of your maestro card into the their cash slots); generally good crowd; fantastic terrace with superb views (eyeing up the length of the nearby Beetham Tower); superb jukebox (none of that 'clothes shop house music' played here); wonderful, if DIY, décor. Haven't as yet tried the food so I cannot comment. Knott is always on my lists of bars to takes pals on excursions to Manchester. read more

I'd visited Knott several times in my pre-Yelp a.k.a dark days and had always enjoyed drinking in there. If my company had its office in the city centre, this would likely be our equivalent of 'Cheers' (I'd be that fat bloke due to ordering my lunch there daily). Tucked under the railway arches yet deceptively spacious, it's got a chilled out vibe whilst still feeling like a homely pub, with loads of breweriana and Ramones posters displayed around the place. The food is good there, really good in fact - as are the real ales and craft beers that would be the main reason for going in the first place (discovered a Rochdale brewed one thanks to a mate's eagle eye, I'm all for supporting 'the Motherland'). FYI it's Pictish Brewing Company. So if you find yourself stepping off the metro at Deansgate-Castlefield, cross over the tracks, go down the steps, cross the road and head straight there. It's a cracker. If you still need convincing, it recently made it into The Guardian's top 10 craft beer pubs in Manchester. Tip: For designated drivers, there's car parking down Castle Street (pay and display). read more

I can't believe I only discovered this bar the other day! I have been missing out! I have gone past many a time, it's right at the start of Deansgate and right on the border on the Castlefield. If beer is your thing, here is your new favourite bar. A huge range of beers on tap including some very random ones (Ginger Marble bitter) and they always have tons of bottled fruit beer to, my new favourite thing. I like sitting upstairs in the bit just under the archway. Great view of the city centre in a relaxing place with great music. Good times. Perfect for an after work drink. read more

This bar is one I think of as my local, even though I live several miles away in South Manchester. It has a unique location under one of the rail arches on Castle St. You can hear the faint rumble of trains rolling overhead which only adds to the atmosphere. Unlike a lot of Manchester pubs it doesn't try to be cool or cater to one particular demographic. They value good quality food and very reasonable prices and a decent range of keg an cask beers. Their pride adorns the walls with beer memorabilia, pump clips and bottles everywhere. Their cook (chef?) Oz is renowned for his food/drink pairing evenings which are booked out months in advance, known as Oz's Epicurean Nights. They are exceptional and not to be missed. It can be busy, but this is really hit and miss as the crowd ebbs and flows on their way into the city from South Manchester. I've been in on a Saturday afternoon and found it rammed or half empty with almost unpredictable variety. It is however well worth the effort to stick your head in though. The Knott is a 'must' stop on any trip around Manchester's pubs and bars of note. I've regularly brought friends travelling from abroad here to get a feel for the Manchester bar scene and to see what a well priced, fantastically cellared cask beer can be like, and I'm seldom left disappointed by the trip. read more

Perched on the end of Deansgate and Castlefield, Knott Bar looks like another formulaic bar from the eighties. Inside however, it's a homely bar with lots of nooks and crannies (US translation - cosy corners!) where you can have an intimate conversation with friends. The bar is equally promising with a wide range of spirits, bottled beers and ales on tap including local and European fruit beers. I've yet to sample the food myself but the menu looked pretty good too with a reasonable range of burgers, fries, hot sandwiches and chips and dips. The extra knott on the rope? There's an open terrace upstairs where you can enjoy the fresh air or smoke to your heart's delight. read more

Lovely pub - and not one I expected to find just off Deansgate Locks! Large seating area downstairs as well as a cool smoking balcony upstairs. This does get a bit noisy, as the bar is located underneath the railway bridge, but I love a good outdoor area and you don't find many in the city centre. The staff were lovely and helpful, I like to be recommended different beers and they did just that. I settled with a gorgeous fruit beer and the sun popped its head out enabling us to sample the smoking area. I think perhaps if you chose to visit Knott on a weekend this could have been another story. Situated near Deansgate you do tend to get a different sort of patron to the Northern Quarter hipsters I'm used to. However - week night or day and I'll guarantee you'll love it. The Ramones posters help too. read more

Yay, it's another CAMRA award-winner! I've always thought Knott was as cute as a button and the perfect antithesis to the ordinarily mediocre Deansgate nightlife. And a stone's throw away from the train station too, that can only be a good thing. It's a down-to-earth little place that doesn't offer the flashy trendiness of the Locks but as far as I'm concerned that's also a positive element. Knott's your classic real ale pub, with varieties to sample like strawberry, chocolate and ginger, varying seasonally. The food menu encompasses standard pub grub and snacks, while the open terrace offers a truly spectacular view of the Deansgate scenery. I'll echo what others have said here already - great beer, great atmosphere, and a no nonsense approach. This is rare in many contexts; even rarer on Deansgate. Rejoice! read more

I love Knott bar. Definitely up there in my fav spots in town. It has all I want in a good pub, great rotating selection of beers (kegs, casks and bottles), great gloomy atmosphere. It's clean but Indie trash a bit with the trainline directly above it. The staff are always good fun and the food is consistantly good for the money. I had an hour to kill and needed to get some food before a wine tasting on a rainy night, Knott sorted us out nicely with a great pulled pork burger type sandwich for £5.95 and a great beer from Buxton. Their chicken chorizo used to be to die for although I think the recipe has lost that little sparkle that made it special but I've never figured out what made it so good in the first place and it is still pretty damn good now. The missus and I keep saying that we truly didn't make the best of it when we were living in Castlefield. Too right. A great place where any excuse will do to squeeze a cheeky pint...or more read more

As a worshipper of the Real Beer Goods I'm fairly certain I'm supposed to tell you aaaaaaaall about the beer here. The beers great, I love it. Awesome now we've got that bit out the way I want to tell you about something else. The Foods deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicous, I was playing catch up with some Gents having arrived late, they advised me they'd had brilliant food, but time was against us so I opted for a 'Small Plate' option off the menu, Pulled Pork, Potatoe Salad, Corn Fritters. now looking at the Knots decor I was expecting a something, I don't really know what but, what arrived was not what I expected. The presentation was what initially set me back, I was surprised how they'd laid it out, it looked more like I was in some form of restaurant in the centre of town not some Ale pub on the outskirts of the city centre immediately I realised I'd misjudged my thought process of just some stodge to see me through OH MY GOD the pulled pork was tasty, so so so soooo tasty. Definitely need to go back for more food now I know what it's like, and I'm pretty sure if I go with the Small plates menu that means I can have two of them? that's how that works yah? read more

Love the atmosphere!! The pie was delicious..thanks. I will stop in when I m back in town

The Knott seems to have won countless awards for being the best pub in Manchester. And although i am reluctant to ahere to such things; I understand why it has been voted by this. It is in the kind of location that unless you live nearby ; you are not going to venturee to a pub that is so, well pub-like. Don't get me wrong; I think it is great. On almost any and every Saturday night me and the man will sit in there and have at least one pint. The serive is fantastic; the bar men act like they have known you for years! The food menu is short but perfectly equiped to provide you with an amazingly tasty meal. All of the meals are around £8, which might seem expensive for pub food but when you see it; you realise it's completely justified. Tasty, filling, high quality; to many positivie adjectives to describe Knott. Go there and see for yourself, amazing; perfect and wonderful. Well played guys. read more

I visited The Knott for one thing and one only - a pint of Ginger Marble from Marble Brewery, the local Mancunian microbrewery. And it was worth it. The beer is a tasty alternative to alcoholic ginger beer, not too sweet and with a spicy kick - I definitely recommend it. The pub itself was a pleasant surprise. The corner plot makes for a quirky little interior, huge glass windows and a balcony overlooking the road are a prime spot for people watching over a lunchtime tipple. My curiosity has definitely been whetted, I think the next beverage related expedition will have to be to the Marble Brewery HQ, the Marble Arch Inn at Chorlton. read more

Knott Bar isn't in my direct drinking vicinity, so I have never been but, when suggested as a meet up point for some quick pre-Brewdog bash drinks, I was more than happy to check it out. I was cat-called by someone leaving as I was going in, so it was never going to be a happy experience as, unfortunately, this is now my impression of their patrons. If I had been going for a drink on my own or even meeting up with a friend, I would have suggested leaving. However, as there was a group of us I was happy enough to go in and sit myself down. Service was slow and we were overlooked a couple of times, before one (out of the two) servers disappeared from the bar completely. Luckily, company was great as ever, and the I like the decor of the bar. I won't be rushing back, which seems a shame compared to the other reviews here, but maybe I'll return in the future. read more

I've lived behind Deansgate train station for nearly 18 months and only ventured into Knott Bar for the first time a few weeks ago. I'm not a real ale fan so assumed there would be very little option for me in terms of drink but I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of fruit beers on offer as well as cider and some wines. It's a lot bigger than it looks from the front with lots of tables to sit at and a lovely friendly atmosphere. It's perfect for a quick catch up with a friend or a meet up point before a night out. Sunday lunch was pretty good with a good sized portion, mash and roast potatoes as well as carrots, parsnips, green beans and broccoli. My friend ordered one of the steak burgers and was disappointed by the amount of onion in the patty. This was changed with no fuss and the chicken burger replacement was much better. It gets busy and the toilets aren't the nicest but then that's not what this place is about. A proper 'pub' type atmosphere in the city, I'll be back. read more

This place is a bonefide Mancunian institution. The only thing better than the food is the awesome choice of craft beers! I've had some great times here, especially on the sun terrace. The only thing stopping a fifth star is that it's a little pricey....if you inadvertently order the wrong beer you can be looking at around £6......yeah..... Stay away from Cherry lager....or friends who drink it! read more

I am a regular visitor to Knott and I've always walked in with reasonably high expectations and walked out with a satisfied smile. Knott is located off Deansgate, kind of across the street from Beetham Towers, towards Castlefield. Easily accessible by bus, tram and train and conveniently located in the city centre. A usual routine for me and my friends on a few saturdays over some time has been a film at AMC followed by food and drink in Knott. Food: I've always gone for the burgers (bang bang chicken or lamb) with poato wedges. The burgers have been consistently good, despite the crowd. Beer: They have a wide selection of regular and guest ales and very often know what they're talking about. If in doubt, ask. They also have other beers, wines and spirits. Atmosphere: If you're looking to have a few or a lot of drinks with friends and indulge in conversation, this place is great. They have music in the background but it's in the background, not deafeningly loud so as to impede conversation. Staff: Staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. They know what they're talking about and are passionate about it. Tip: If you plan to eat there, get there early or ring them and reserve a table. read more

The Knott certainly comes somewhere in the top 5 of my list of favourite Mancunian pubs. Yet, somehow, like the other Yelpers, it is a pub that I often forget about, only remembering on the odd visit to the Comedy Store or whilst whizzing past the Locks on the 84 bus to Chorlton. Inside the pub there is a mixture of seating ranging from sofas to a little two person table with a chess board on top. The bar staff are really friendly and seem to know a lot about the wide range of beers and ales they sell. Despite the fact that I am not a smoker, I often take advantage of the great little terrace, with views of the Locks and the imposing Beetham Tower. See you down there. Mine's a Ginger Marble...or a Fruli. read more

This bar provides perfect sanctuary those who've somehow found themselves in one of Castlefield's ghastly chain bars - you know the ones. Less than 100 yards from Deansgate station, this oasis offers a fantastic range of draught and bottled beers from around the globe. Guest beers - often locally brewed - are a permanent fixture at the Knott. Relaxed, unpretentious and lively, this bar is much more a reflection of Manchester than those round the corner on Whitworth Street. The regular punters are an eclectic mix of age, race and gender; the bar staff are friendly and efficient, and the jukebox is excellent. The food is spot on - generous portions, realistically priced. What more could you want? read more

Step three on the (pub) tour of Manchester led us to Knott Bar. Clearly from the atmosphere, we were heading toward a more hipsterfied area of Manchester. It's under some railway arches which is about as hipster as you can get. There is plenty of seating inside as well, but the decor and set up are definitely hipstery. I had another delicious dark beer, and we sat in the corner to chat. It has a pleasant atmosphere and everyone at the place seemed to be enjoying themselves. Definitely another place to come back to if I return... read more

I would not go as far as to call it the best pub in Manchester.. but the Knott is certainly one of my favourites. Great space. Exceptional beers on draft and even more in bottles (some home comforts as well!) i.e... The local Marble brews!.. my local Brooklyn Beers!.. Cool staff. Good tunes. Above decent sandwiches. And the upper deck PATIO makes it one of the best places in city to sit and have an afternoon pint when the sun shines.. (Dukes down the road is beautiful.. but the beer and the crowd....come'on.. I'd rather sit up at the Knott and watch the passings-by.. without the patio however, Knott might have to get 4 stars!) read more

I started off my Friday night here yesterday, and I have to say, I was very impressed. It's a homely little pub on 2 levels, serves great ales on tap and a variety of interesting bottled beers and ciders too. I had the pear beer, which would be a little too sweet for most palettes (and is not too dissimilar from cider to be honest) but I love it. The kitchen serves great burgers, fries, chips and dips - great fillers to start a night's drinking on. Upstairs is a large open terrace where you can still feel like you're inside the pub yet sit and smoke whilst enjoying the view of Deansgate below and the looming Beetham Tower straight ahead. A relaxed and welcoming start to your evening. read more

Wow this place is popular , and must admit I am totally upgrading my opinion from my last visit . Very unique setting beneath he railway arches .

Anywhere that serves Ginger Marble beer gets my vote and Knott is one of the few pubs in Manchester that nearly always has it on tap! As well as lovely beer, this canalside watering hole has a great atmosphere that sits nicely between cosy old man pub and trendy bar. There's a cool balcony upstairs, which is perfect for smokers and people watchers alike. Plus, the food is excellent! It's not cheap pub grub it's lovely stuff and the prices reflect that. Think £8-ish for a burger and £3.50-ish for a dessert. Still, everything I've ever eaten there has been worth every penny! read more
