Distinctive Bar Experience
Lower Turks Head showcases three solid wood carved bars with a total of 30 keg taps and 12 cask pumps serving a variety of Joseph Holt beers and ales. The checkerboard flooring and panelled walls enhance the character of the setting, while pew seating offers a traditional communal atmosphere. This pub is a gathering place with multiple nooks and crannies, providing intimate spaces for friends and families.
Indoor and Outdoor Seating
The historic tile façade hides a roomy interior that accommodates various groups. Downstairs provides two bars, while a smaller cubbyhole wooden bar upstairs offers a cozy vibe. A heated outdoor terrace, artistically adorned with locally hand-painted artwork, allows guests to enjoy the ambiance while appreciating the pub's Northern Soul heritage.
Comfortable Overnight Accommodation
Lower Turks Head accommodates guests with four en-suite bedrooms accessible through a separate entrance. Each room promises the essential comforts of home while being steps away from the lively pub atmosphere. The convenience of staying on-site adds value for visitors enjoying the local culture.
Local Beer Selection
The pub emphasizes locally brewed offerings with a range of Joseph Holt beers including Bitter, IPA, and Chorlton Pale Ale. This focus on local production supports community breweries and enriches the customer experience with authentic flavors. Seasonal selections and specialty beers provide options for every palate.
Cultural Imprints and Engagement
The pub's décor reflects Manchester's artistic spirit, featuring artworks that highlight local history. A poem dedicated to the pub, penned by The Thirsty Poet, adds a literary charm to the environment. Guests can engage with both the artwork and the storytelling aspects of the pub during their visit.

“Lower Turks Head's prime location near the Arndale makes it a solid base for exploring Manchester. Its rooms offer a cozy, homely feel. Staying above a pub adds character, though light sleepers might want to pack earplugs for football nights.”
