Converted 22/9/2020 to an Asian restaurant. Operated as as restaurant/bar Tinto from 1/8/2017. Was Chalk Bar & Grill from 14/5/2014 till it closed 24/11/2016, History: a bar conversion that transformed three smaller units into a bar-restaurant. This relaxed, upmarket offering was created by a team originating from Alderley Edge. It was a classy addition to the Didsbury scene. It was part-panelled with large gilt mirrors on one side, whilst the other had feature wallpaper with niches for lights. In between sat the bar which acted as the busy hub of this slick operation. All done in a mute grey with flecks of green to add a liveliness to the interior. The outside area had high tables in a heated setting that allow one to gaze on the bustle of Didsbury. The pub did not serve cask ale.
