About Us

Every great pub has a story — and ours begins with a bold idea: to bring a true taste of Ireland to the heart of Manchester.

Dirty O’Sullivans is the newest creation from Tokyo Industries — operators of over 50 iconic venues across the UK and 19 international locations — and proudly our very first Irish bar. Drawing on decades of experience in nightlife and hospitality, we wanted to craft a space that combines authentic Irish warmth, lively atmosphere, and modern hospitality with the energy and creativity Tokyo Industries is known for.

Step inside, and you’ll feel instantly at home. From perfectly poured Guinness and expertly curated Irish whiskeys, to vibrant cocktails and hearty food, every detail has been designed to make each visit unforgettable. The walls echo with laughter, music, and stories — whether it’s a traditional Irish session, a big match on screen, or late-night celebrations with friends.

At Dirty O’Sullivans, we’re especially proud to celebrate Manchester’s Irish community, which has long been a vibrant and vital part of the city. This bar is a tribute to that spirit — a place where Irish culture, music, and friendship come alive, and where everyone, whether born in Ireland or simply inspired by it, can feel part of something special. From local families and students to long-time residents and newcomers, Dirty O’Sullivans is a hub for shared stories, laughter, and proper craic.

Here, it’s not just about what’s in your glass — it’s about the people around it. We’ve created a home for good company, great conversation, and moments that turn into memories.

So pull up a stool, raise a glass, and join us. At Dirty O’Sullivans, you don’t just visit — you belong.
