About 1st Floor
30 Boardroom
50 Standing / Reception
The 1st Floor function room sits above the hustle of our main bar, where exposed brick walls tell stories from the 1840s and polished wooden floors have welcomed countless celebrations. Natural light pours through large windows overlooking Boundary Street West, catching the warm tones of the brick and creating an atmosphere that shifts beautifully from morning meetings to evening parties. We've watched this space transform for every kind of gathering imaginable. Corporate teams arrange our comfortable leather sofas and stylish chairs boardroom-style for 30, using our projector and screen for presentations while staying connected to the energy of a proper Manchester pub below. For parties and receptions, we can welcome up to 50 guests who love having room to mingle, with pendant lighting casting just the right glow as evening approaches. The beauty of our first floor lies in its flexibility. Birthday parties often start with drinks and mingling up here before spilling into our hidden beer garden when the weather cooperates. Wedding receptions appreciate the neutral palette that lets them add their own touches, while still keeping that authentic pub character with the exposed brickwork. Corporate events find the perfect balance, professional enough for serious discussions yet relaxed enough that networking feels natural, especially when guests can pop downstairs for a pint of Bollington's finest between sessions. Being tucked between the SODA building and The Union means transport couldn't be simpler, and our Bluetooth sound system lets you set exactly the right mood, whether that's background jazz for cocktail receptions or upbeat playlists that get birthday parties properly started. This room has seen it all since we started pouring pints in the 1820s, and we're always excited to see what celebration comes through our doors next.
