Converted 24/2/2012 to the Anchor Coffee House as it was now owned by Vinelife Manchester church. Closed 23/2/2012. No planning application found. History: At the northern boundary of the so-called Curry Mile lay the Whitworth overlooking the park and art gallery of that name. For a time, the paraphernalia around the neighbouring corner bar/restaurant means you could very easily have missed the place. Inside the pub was on two levels, higher at the entrance, then down a step to the bottom level near the bar. Décor was minimal other than a number of mirrors set about the place, and lounge seating in the lower saloon area. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. For the warmer seasons, a very neat decked and enclosed drinking area at the rear proved a very pleasant arbour. Latterly it sold cask Marstons Burton Bitter and Pedigree.
