About us

Located just off Oxford Road in Manchester, the Grafton Arms is friendly, food serving pub with fantastic locally brewed beers. In fact, the brewery is just a couple of miles down the road. From regular live music and open mic nights to pub quizzes and live sport, there’s always something happening here! This is a proud Manchester pub, shown by the brilliant hand-painted mural of Manchester legends across the walls.

On the food front, the Grafton Arms has range of great pizza available! We serve freshly baked pizzas Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday with sides served Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. At the bar, take your pick from superbly kept cask ales, award-winning lagers, craft beers and bottles. There’s also a fantastic choice of well-priced spirits and wines, plus coffees and teas on all day.

Popular with students, the Grafton Arms has plenty of live entertainment on throughout the week including regular live music and open mic nights on our purpose built stage. The pub shows live football on Sky Sports and BT, plus all the major sporting events, and has a good following for the WSL. Out towards the back, there’s a good beer garden and outdoor heaters.

Seems to be an independent ale called Crystal. Very gassy, but light and refreshing. Staff are great. City pub, so good for a pre-match pint.

Had an amazing time during a pre-drinks session before we attended a metal concert in the academy, really enjoyed the hospitality, good prices and available area outdoors. Staff were awesome and genuine :-) thanks for a great time!

They have banging open mic nights on Tuesdays. Prices aren't too bad and the regulars are mostly real friendly.

If you’re looking for community, this is the place. Punters old and young alike, Sarah the landlady has created such an inclusive atmosphere at the Grafton, you can only feel welcome. Not only that but it’s a great venue for live music, sport and there’s a great quiz every Wednesday, not your usual quiz night, gets everyone in and is a real laugh! Can’t recommend this place, Sarah and her team enough! Oh and there’s pizza (other food too but pizza)

Most welcoming pub in Manchester, the landlady Sarah has created a top environment for all. Best pub quiz I’ve been to on Wednesday and live music throughout the week, great atmosphere for live sport. No better place to watch the women’s world cup this summer!!
