This summer, Courts Club is making a play for the title of Manchester’s Best Beer Garden, and it’s bringing the vibes, the drinks, the food and the sun traps.

Tucked away in the heart of the city at St John’s (just a 5-minute walk from Deansgate), this LA-style venue features three distinct zones – The Green, The Sun Trap (a spot that gets the sun all day), and The Clubhouse – each made for soaking up sunshine, sipping cocktails, and hanging out. From golden hour spritzes (2 for £13 daily, 5-8pm) to live DJs, quiz night on a Wednesday, and late-night sessions, there’s always something going on.

At the centre of it all is a bookable court where you can play tennis or shoot hoops with your friends – a rare find in the city centre. Pair that with tacos from its Cantina food truck, frozen margaritas, and laid-back energy, and you’ve got Manchester’s ultimate summer spot.
