Blackjack Beers

Great place, excellent choice of beers I plumbed for the Siren and wasn’t disappointed full of flavour. Toilet facilities adequate for men not so much desirable for the girls.

Really great pub. I had been there before. I opted for a Cantillon Kriek bottle. A beer nigh on impossible to find here in Detroit. Super helpful staff and great atmosphere.Would visit here on every visit to Manchester. More...

Spent great afternoon with family and friends at Blackjack's open day on August Bank Holiday weekend. I thought it always rained in Manchester but not that day! Warm and sunny. Lovely beers, large selection and friendly staff. Pizzas were excellent as well. More...

Nice beer but didn't like the token system.

Excellent afternoon. The staff found us a bench and chairs inside as it was a bit chill and overcast when we arrived. Great choice of beers and friendly chat. Great music from the DJ. The food was bratwurst and chips. Very tasty, better than last bank holiday when it was very oily pizza. Sorry. Can't wait for August Bank holiday weekend. More...

Stumbled across this place whilst having a boozy wander around Manchester, and luckily we happened to visit on a weekend it was open, and sunny. Great little place with a great range of beers, just wish we'd stayed later to sample some food and the DJ. Only downside was leaving a deposit for the glasses; with so many good beers to choose from you could easily have one too many and forget to hand your glass back. Looking forward to another visit next month, if you're an ale drinker then it's definitely worth a try, just check opening times to make sure they're open. More...

Walking to Black Jack Brewers feels a bit like you're heading towards a horror film set. Or as if you're about to imminently become the victim of a crime of some sort. Having parked under the huge bridge around the corner, the area was completely deserted on a friday night as I walked towards the distant cheery noise. The commotion was coming from Sham Bodie, a brilliant comedy monthly shindig I highly recommend you check out. The set up was incredible, gazebos, barbecues and a bar serving (what I hear) great beers. The place was packed and there was great atmosphere. The isolated nature of the venue actually turned out to be a strong point. There was a special and strange combination of an inclusive/exclusive atmosphere. Inclusive, since the event was sold out and there was a great crowd of like minded people and exclusive since it was away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre on a friday night. There was live music from Glass Tides (My favourite Manchester band) and comedy by (amongst others) the brilliant Norris & Parker who are performing at the Edinburgh Fringe next week. There was also a hot dog eating competition and the atmosphere was nothing short of amazing all night. I strongly suggest you check out an event here in the near future, you won't regret it. More...

Well if it's the beer you like well that speaks for itself, a great range from pale ales right through to Impy Stouts, the monthly taps in the summer are the best & most welcoming of all places

I went here for the private party before Shebeen Festival, courtesy of the generous guys at Blackjack and Yelp.I'll just copy over what I said on the talk thread:What an amazing night having free access to the taps! I tried 7 different beers and they were all brilliant. And the food from Yakumama was outstanding - spicy beef empananda, crackling with guacamole, mushroom & quinoa croquetas and avocado and chocolate brownie...I cannot wait until they move to The Kitchens at Spinningfields this summer!Only downside was that it was absolutely freezing, definitely a space heater would have been in order! I imagine this is not a problem at all during the summer and it's a great place to spend a couple of hours below the railway arches listening to some good music and trying the beers right from the source!

Beer tap, Saturday, hooking up with friends I hadn't seen for a while - Sounds like a perfect afternoon to me. The plan was just to stay for a couple but we must have been here for a few hours - with so many good beers to choose from, we were spoilt for choice. I particularly enjoyed the offerings from Blackjack, Arbor and Wild - really tasty and served at fairly low prices in 1/3, 2/3 and Pint servings. This brewery tap is open each last weekend of the month from Spring time and as well as having street food, they have good tunes and plenty of out and indoor seating (good job as the rain hammered it down by mid afternoon) Looking forward to heading back here soon!

Truly delicious beer, I tried it at Levenshulme market and was very impressed! Been after something just as tasty since, and not found it!

When you combine great local beers served outside where they're brewed, delicious local street food, a DJ pumping out tunes that make you dance on your reclaimed timber bench under vertical gardens made of pallets, you get the Blackjack Brew Tap. The micro-brewery under a railway arch off Irk Street opened its doors to the beer-thirsty public at the weekend with both cask and keg options available. Wine, spirits and soft drinks were also on offer.Just outside the 'bar' were the dynamic duo Arepa!Arepa!Arepa! cooking up tasty Columbian food for the punters (arepaarepaarepa.blogspot…). Their maize-based flatbreads complete with vegetarian or meat-tastic fillings are certainly a crowd pleaser - they can often be found at Levenshulme Market selling their wares.With the DJs twirling on the decks, the atmosphere was really buzzing, we all loved whiling away a good few hours there.As Nic R mentions, rumour has it that there will be more regular events taking place around the newly coined 'Beer Quarter', with other breweries due to move in soon. Watch this space, there's going to be a new hot-spot in our fair City of Mancunia ;) More...

What an amazing concept!! A brewery opening its taps to its fan punters once a month and inviting street food genius and super hip DJs along. Blackjack beers are amongst the best beers made in Manchester and the UK (although this list is now getting very long indeed, and we're all the better for it). The guys had most of their beers and more from other local breweries on offer and Arepa! Arepa! Arepa! were there to make sure we keep nicely fed. The DJs were playing some seriously cool tracks and it all allowed us to forget that we were under a railway track in a dodgy part of Manchester instead of on a beach bar in Miami.I hear more exciting news are in the pipeline for this idyllic spot so watch this space!!
