Beautiful & newly refurbished little back street pub, right in the heart of the city.
Tucked away gem of a boozer, friendly atmosphere, good choice of ales & now the smoking ban is in force a pleasant atmosphere.
a must see if you are visiting the city

Excellent boozer; always a good range of real ales and a friendly atmosphere and pleasant decor.
The pub itself is on the small side and it doesn't take many patrons to make it crowded. Still, highly recommended.

Friendly two roomed traditional City Centre pub with a fine tiled exterior.
I enjoyed a good pint of Moorhouses Premium Bitter in this cosy pub.
Its best avoided at lunchtimes apparently, when it gets taken over by the office crowd.
Notably, there's a pub also on either side ( The Vine and The Waterhouse ), neither of which I visited, although the Vine looked tempting.
In conclusion, the City Arms is not a must visit pub, but well worth seeking out if in the area

Decent city centre boozer. It always seems to be busy
Beer good, always a few guest ales. Good atmosphere
|
Good, traditional city centre pub, with well-kept ales.
|
A traditional pub with a very good selection of well kept ales. Gets very busy at times as it's only a small pub.
|
Certainly not closed & positively thriving on our recent Saturday early evening visit. Cosy layout & decor, 7 wide-ranging & varied ales from Punch Taverns' approved shortlist of regionals & microbreweries. Decent quality too.
An ideal haven away from the horror of weekend Christmas shopping.

Yep - the City Arms is definitely still open and serving an excellent, ever-changing range of real ales in a quiet street of the city centre. Always loved this pub although it did use to get very smoky - obviously that's not the case any more.

I FIRST WENT INTO THIS PUB WHEN I CAME DOWN FROM SCOTLAND, AND IT WAS OK, EVENTUALLY I WENT THROUGH THE BACK ROOM+SPOKE TO A LAD WITH HIS WIFE+HAD A WE BLETHER, THANK GOD FOR A WE CHAT, THEN WENT TO PUB NEXT DOOR THE VINE INN, WHICH I LIKED OK, IF I EVER GO BACK TO MANCHESTER I WOULD GO BACK TO BOTH THESE PUBS.
