Whalley Range’s Jam Street re-opened on Wednesday 17th September. The former Jam Street Café has had quite a makeover.
While the old incarnation never seemed to know if it was a café or a pub, the new version is very much a pub and almost unrecognisable. The former seating area at the front of the pub remains a seating area but totally refurnished with much brighter décor. Blackboards painted on the walls were blank on opening night but will soon announce their menu and events. Beyond the seating area, the bar runs down the side of the building through what was the kitchen with more seating in a previously hidden area beyond.
Readers may have seen reports in the Manchester Evening News and other press which stated that the historic Sir Ralph Abercromby pub on Bootle Street, Manchester was vacant and being demolished as part of proposed development in the area.
