Converted c.1/10/2006 to dental laboratory. Closed 1/6/2006. History: Former Openshaw Brewery house, latterly Bass. Opening Times magazine Oct 2003 reported that interior had been gutted, and pub renamed 'Out of the Blue' in an attempt to cash in on the football crowd attending games at the recently opened and nearby Manchester City stadium. Opening Times magazine Dec 2006 reported closure and conversion to dental lab.
