Bundobust’s long-awaited Oxford Road brewery, taproom and restaurant to open with beer giveaway

Adding to Bundobust’s roster of successful venues in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, this second Manchester site comes in the form of a 150-seat taproom and restaurant – It’s already well-known for its spot on taste in craft beers and an iconic lineup of collabs with internationally renowned breweries, and Bundobust now has the facility to brew its very own, right on site, with a fully-functioning brewery. From now on at all Bundobust sites you can expect to find exclusive beers with great names such as ‘Kipsy Bhal’, ‘Dhania Pilsner’. ‘East is East’ and ‘West is West’. They are all crafted with the venue’s iconic Gujarati menu in mind, meaning they pair perfectly with its award-winning Indian street food.

Much of Bundobust’s success comes from the combination of great food and drink, but also the venues’ design and attention to detail. In this case, for example, sustainable furniture outfit, Woodmancote Retro has created the brewery’s high tables and stools. The overall design is influenced by US brewpubs, with a nod to German beer hall camaraderie. Each chair is made from 40 recycled plastic water bottles, while school desks have been repurposed into beer hall-style tables.  original features from the space’s previous incarnation as a car park have been maintained, from vintage alarm bells and glazed bricks to ‘Drive Slowly’ signage. A show-stopping giant glass atrium mirrors the Piccadilly branch’s glass apex.
