Stonegate Pub Company has invested £400k in listed Manchester pub, The Turing Tap, creating seven new jobs.
The pub, a much-loved student and local venue, has been completely transformed with a new contemporary look and offers a real point of difference to the local pub scene.
It has also been given a new name in honour of Alan Turing, the former University of Manchester professor, who solved the Enigma code helping the Allies to win World War II.
The pub is offering a selection of more than 35 cocktails and it has also joined the craft ale revolution with an introduction of six ales including Brewdog Punk IPA 5.6% and Blue Moon ABV 5.4%. These ales joins its existing line up of six cask ales.
The cocktail list includes all the classics like a French Martini, Pina Colada and Bellinis all served in retro glassware.
The Turing Tap also offers a range of artisan pizza, with the introduction of a new pizza oven in the kitchen, which sees the perennial favourites freshly made from dough on site.
General manager, Simon Menghan, said, “The Turing Tap is going to be a destination venue thanks to this fabulous makeover. It will be a place that people want to come to and stay.
“Thanks to the transformation and the new food and drinks offer, we will cater for all our regulars, students, and our loyal NHS staff supporters, all day long. We’re opening earlier for breakfast and extending our opening hours. There is also going to be great fresh food, more craft ales and a wide array of cocktails.”
The pub has a calendar of events across the week from the Afterwork Social on Mondays for two for one cocktails, through to Sparkling Saturdays with DJ nights.
