Following a full refurbishment in April 2024, The Goose transformed from “Paddy’s Goose” into a bright, welcoming traditional pub with a modern twist. It features a single-level, open-plan layout with a stage for a wide variety of performances nightly —offering a mix of community warmth and local charm .

The pub serves hearty pub fare including coffee & cake from 12pm. The drinks selection spans craft beers, cocktails, and premuim spirits—all at relaxed, mid-range prices.

True to its village spirit, The Goose offers a rich weeknight and weekend line-up:

• Karaoke, quiz nights, and cabaret hosted by local drag talent

• Weekend entertainment and drag brunches, including lively shows from hosts like Misty Chance
  These regular events earned the venue recognition as a finalist in the Great British Pub Awards for Best Entertainment.

With its tagline “attitude-free welcoming space,” The Goose attracts a mixed crowd—locals, Village regulars, and visitors. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and authentically neighbourly.

The Goose is the ideal “Cheers”-style pub in Manchester’s Gay Village—part community meet-up, part lively entertainment spot. With its recent makeover, inclusive atmosphere, pub food, and lively events programme, it offers a comfortable and fun retreat whether you're seeking a casual drink, a drag-fuelled quiz night, or a cosy weekend downpour of laughter and song.
