The Circus Tavern

The Circus Tavern in Manchester City Centre is so small and understated from the outside you might walk past it even if you're looking for it. In fact, it claims to be the smallest bar in not just Manchester or the UK, but in all of Europe, so The Flea Circus Tavern might have been a more apt moniker. Regardless, its size or lack thereof doesn't stop football fans cramming in on match days, or anyone else in need of a drink, for that matter. Expect a cosy atmosphere, plenty of elbow-rubbing, and refreshing pints.
