"What was previously one of the roughest pubs in the city, is now one of the friendliest and trendiest pubs. The Northern is a celebration of all things Mancunian. It's artistically decorated with the who's who of famous local heroes from everyone from Tony Wilson to Les Dawson. With its excellent music and relaxing atmosphere, if you're in the Northern Quarter, The Northern is a must visit. Even the smokers are invited to socialise in "The Pit", an outside enclosed area which feels part of the pub."
