One of the city's favourite boozers, The Edinburgh Castle pub in Ancoats, has been officially recognised as one of the best gastropubs in the country.
The Edinburgh Castle joins over 250 venues which are also in the running for a National Pub & Bar Award.
Other Manchester additions on the list include Electric Shuffle on Deansgate, somewhat of a newcomer to the city's bar scene, offering punters a range of imaginative cocktails and sourdough pizzas to mop it all up with.
And the third and final venue is none other than Quay Street's buzzing Side Street, a day-to-night bar famed for its über cool interiors, cracking nightlife programme and resident kitchen, Tartuffe.
The annual event, which returns to London on the 24th June, highlights an eclectic range of venues across the whole of the UK by naming 94 sites as the best in their respective counties.
"The aim of the National Pub & Bar Awards is simple," says Tristan O’Hana, editor of Pub & Bar magazine, which runs the event. "We want to showcase how brilliant these businesses are and how valuable pubs and bars are to fabric of society across the whole of the UK.
"It has never been harder in hospitality. Whether it’s a countryside pub with rooms or a city centre bar showing live sport, these operations deserve widespread recognition and more customers - hopefully the National Pub & Bar Awards can help with both."
The awards look at a number of elements that affect the customer journey, including marketing, digital presence, design, service, style of offer and investment. The venues now have over two months in which to trade off their achievement, before making their way to the National Pub & Bar Awards grand final in June.
Held at Big Penny Social in London, the final will welcome all 256 nominees to come together and celebrate their success, before discovering which venues will go on to become County and Regional Winners.
The awards night will also crown the Pub Group of the Year, Bar Group of the Year, The Tyrrells Tyrrellbly Good Taste Award and, ultimately, the overall National Pub & Bar of the Year.
On top of that, the 2025 event will launch the Top 10 Pubs & Bars in the UK list, which has been voted for by hundreds of operators from across the country.
