A wonderful pub, the flagship of the Marble Brewery and a must visit place for both the building and the beers. I’m a big fan of Marble beers. They make some really excellent stuff on a par with the best and, in keeping with this, they have a fantastic brewpub to serve it in. The Marble Arch is a short walk out of town in the wasteland around Rochdale Road but it’s well worth a visit and shouldn’t be missed. Inside, the pub is tiled from floor to ceiling (including the ceiling) in golden coloured glazed brick and there’s a lovely frieze with a grape and vine motif intertwined with words proclaiming the wares of yesteryear - gin, rum, wines, brandies, whiskies, ale, porter and cordials. It can get rather crowded but can be forgiven this (and you can always decant to the less picturesque room at the back, which may be quieter). Overall, they get a lot right here – about eleven taps, including a couple of guests, excellent gourmet food to go with it (although it’s by no means predominantly an eating place) and good service. (Last visited 20 January 2012).

Nice busy place. Lots of charachter and atmosphere. Good selection of Marble beers on handpump and decent selection of bottles beers from other breweries.

Excellent must see pub in Manchester. A large range of Marble beers on cask and a couple of guests. Also nice selection of 75cl special edition bottles, etc. Food was very tasty, the staff know their stuff and the brewery is excellent! Highly recommended.

fabulous, a feast for the senses! the interior has huge vaulted ceilings with a tiled mosaic running around walls and floor. functional furniture. brilliant atmosphere and the beer is cracking! loads of choice all great and plenty to take home. maybe slightly on the pricey side, but probably worth it. go and go now!

Looks very nice, like a sample of English Inn. Mainly Marble ales in cask + some visiting brews. Good selection. Biergarten quite simple looking. Quite pleasant place.

What a wonderful Place this is, Its always great to find a place that brews there own beer, but when the beer is as good as Marble is, all the better. But this pub is so much more than just a brewery tap. Its a stunning building, great selection, of Marble and other beers, great service and all round great place

great little pub but its a little on the pricey side..but none the less the beer is always top notch...always busy on food and its nice to see this pub always thriving

Brilliant pub, a real class act. Great beers from Marble but also other breweries on cask and keg. Really lovely traditional pub, very attractive and great atmosphere.

Love it. As soon as I entered I knew this place woulld live up to the name. Not much more I can add that the other reviewers haven’t already said. Great beers in absolutely perfect form...insanely sessionable. The food is excellent, a touch on the pricey side but honestly worth it. Staff were extremely friendly on out two visits and everyone drinking here was happy. Crackin’ pub. Wish it was my local.

I park my car near the Marble and walk past this place every day. Which is a massive bonus for a quick pint after work. Quick story about The Marble Arch. When Decadence was released my brother sent me to pick some up. Got some other stuff, sat in the beer garden for a pint. Two hours later I’m miles away in a pub watching United ’**** I’ve forgot the beer’. Rang them but couldn’t hear anything because of the match. Finally about 6 hours after I’d left. Barman went to check and they were still there. Get the fu*k in. The food is not fine dining but better than most pubs. The beer is great, Marble beers are superb. Always have a few guests on. Good foreign bottle selection. The ceiling is superb. Bogs stink. The locals are cool. Bar staff are nice. The guys at Marble seem to be good people and they brew great beer. Love this place. Regularly drive quite a distance just for one pint.
