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 brings the warmth, music and spirit of Ireland to Manchester city centre. Set just moments from Albert Square, we’re a place for live music, great Guinness, big match days and proper Irish hospitality – all under one roof.
