About

Mulligans is Manchester’s oldest Irish pub, known for its expertly poured Guinness and nightly live music that ranges from indie to traditional folk. The venue’s two levels offer distinct vibes: a historic, intimate downstairs with exposed brick and memorabilia, and a spacious upstairs with vaulted ceilings and balcony views ideal for larger gatherings.
