Rain Bar

The feel

Jwlees opened the now multi award winning Rain Bar in August 1999. It wasn’t always a bar though. It started life as a Victorian canal side warehouse. It then became an umbrella factory and until its development was a dry cleaning business.

Manchester is famous for many things, cotton, the ship canal, manufacturing, the guardian newspaper, united, city, coronation street, oasis. Throughout history one thing has remained constant about reports on Manchester, the weather. Hence the name Rain Bar.

When we first opened Rain bar, we were proud to present it as “unashamedly mancunian” and we still stand by that today. Celebrating fine pub fare that’s inspired this country to be what it is today.

Here at Rain Bar our team work very hard to ensure you get a warm welcome and are offered great food and drink through efficient and friendly service.
