Dutton Arms, Manchester

Popular wet-led community local with investment planned The Dutton Arms is located on a busy B-road running along the working Manchester ship canal. The Dutton Arms is approximately half a mile from the busy M60 circular motorway that connects with Manchester, M56 and the M62. The pub is surrounded by a mix of traditional terraced housing and multi-storey apartment buildings giving easy access to a significant population of local residents and potential customers. This site is situated in a prominent corner position with a traditional pub layout.

Pub Layout

There is one main trading area situated on the right which has 5 separate lounges, plus a popular vault at the front of the pub. This diverse internal layout means the pub can cater to a wide range of customer needs at the same time thus helping to maximise business. The toilet and cellar area are on the lower level and there is a small smoking area to rear as well as a parking area for 10 cars.

The Dutton Arms is a popular weekend entertainment bar and would be a great business opportunity for someone to run a real wet led community local. It also has many wall mounted screens so BT football matches can be shown as well as MTV/music channels. Pool and darts are popular here and men’s and ladies’ teams both call the pub home. A knowledge of the local area would be beneficial, although not essential and an interest in organising live music and community events would also prove valuable.
