To reopen c.16/11/2024 as the Grosvenor following what the Manchester Evening News article of 4/10/2024 states "... the pub will offer the ‘ultimate adult escapism experience’ featuring ‘outrageous’ interiors, huge sports screens, a photobooth and even an actual slide - where people will be able to whoosh past the original cinema balcony. The venue will feature 30 beer taps, and will continue its previous association with social games with pool tables, beer pong, darts and more. Live sports will be showcased throughout the week, with the venue’s original stage repurposed for live entertainment including club and quiz nights, music and DJ sessions. A new food menu, complimenting the drinks menu which will include craft beers". Closed 25/5/2024 with future uncertain. History: In mid-2014 the pub was rejuvenated with a thorough refurbishment and the re-introduction of cask beers alongside an array of craft-keg ales (sadly the cask ales were dropped from sale in late 2019). After that it was a large open space occupied by a good number of high tables, and three long refectory-style tables with bench seating. This was in the area that would have been the 'stalls' seating set beneath the former upper circle. Large TV screens flanked the room, with one sited right above the long bar. Good use was made of lighting to assist in delineating areas. The right side had a slightly raised part, whilst it counterpart on left had three pool tables. The whole thing was focused on getting young people in to enjoy themselves, but there was something for all ages here.
