One of Manchester's oldest pubs will survive despite social media rumours - but needs a 'massive refurb'
One of Manchester’s oldest pubs has closed its doors ‘for the foreseeable future’, but will re-open once it’s undergone a massive refurbishment. Rumours that The City pub on Oldham Street was under threat of closure began to circulate last weekend.
“We are going to reopen. There’s nothing structurally wrong with the building, the plan is to improve and update. Toilets are a priority and the outside will need a good tidy up. Initially, the building team that’s gone in thought it could take a month, but having now dug into it, it’s going to take longer than that.
“I don’t exactly appeal to [tradesmen] once I tell them I’m on Oldham Street or Tib Street,” he goes on. “If they’ve experienced it, or heard of the difficulties of working on Oldham Street or Tib Street, or anywhere in the epicentre of Manchester, there are the parking restrictions, the access restrictions, restrictions on the building work by the city council.
