Fierce Bar is a locally-loved bar based in Manchester’s bustling Northern Quarter, seconds away from CT-fave Common. A relatively new addition to the city’s drinks scene, it opened in late 2020 and has fast built a firm following among booze-lovers who rave about the wide varieties of craft beer on offer.

Add a great outside space to sip your chosen tipple, friendly staff and a location firmly in the part of the Northern Quarter that sticks firm to the original founding principles of the Northern Quarter (ie. a genuine alternative to the city’s mainstream haunts) and you’ve just found your new favourite 21st-century tavern.

Unlike the lavish decoration of the Grade II-listed Marble Arch (which also doubles up as a brewery) or the traditional pub layout of the Marble Beer House in Chorlton, this tiny Thomas Street digs has room for just two things: beer and food.
