Roby 1844, a new terrace bar and restaurant with waterside seating, opened in Manchester last week underneath The Holiday Inn on Aytoun Street. The bar will also provide a handy stop for canal barges, with passengers able to moor and disembark for a drink in the sun.
Roby 1844 was named after the original Victorian Roby School building next door to the hotel. Situated on two levels along the canalside, Roby 1844 is a relaxing place to spend an hour or two, with festoon lighting and an outdoor bar. Live music will be a feature in the summer months. Initially, no pre-bookings are required, with walk-ins welcome.
Open daily from 12pm – 11pm, Roby 1844 will serve up a street food menu, including a selection of burgers, sandwiches, platters and a vegan menu including vegan dirty fries, corn ribs and pulled jackfruit baps. To see the full menu, click here.
The drinks menu includes a range of beers, spirits, wine and cocktails, featuring local suppliers Seven Bro7hers, Manchester Gin and Three Rivers Gin.
Steve Julian, Manager at The Holiday Inn, said; “We’ve got such a great space by the water and wanted to create a standalone destination, perfect for after work drinks, weekend socialising and get togethers. People are welcome to head down for a drink, a bite to eat or both – at the moment, no booking is necessary. It’s a great place to sit and watch the world go by, and enjoy spending time with people, especially after being apart for so long.”
