About The Star and Garter
The Star and Garter is a Grade II listed public house and live-music venue on Fairfield Street in Manchester, England. Originally built nearby in 1803, it was dismantled and re‑erected on its present site during railway expansion and reopened in 1877. It served successive waves of railway and postal workers, later closed in the 1980s as the surrounding area declined, and reopened in 1991 as a live‑music venue. The building is now owned by the Mayfield Partnership, and in 2025 its continued operation was supported by Broadwick, the operator of Depot Mayfield.
