Salford-based SEVEN BRO7HERS BREWING CO has announced it will close its MediaCityUK beerhouse this Sunday (15/03). The brewery made the decision this month to close its doors and instead focuses its efforts on its nearby 11 CENTRAL venue and future opportunities.

The McAvoy brothers, who founded the brewery in 2014, have taken the decision as part of a strategic move to concentrate resources on venues that better reflect changing drinking habits and the growing demand for larger, experience-led social spaces. The MediaCity beerhouse originally opened in May 2021 as the world emerged from the pandemic, offering the brewery an opportunity to reconnect with customers and expand its beerhouse concept during a pivotal moment for the business.

Today as customer preferences continue to evolve, with more drinkers seeking venues that offer live sport, entertainment and social activities, the brothers say the time feels right to close the chapter. The MediaCity venue will serve its final customers on Mothering Sunday, marking the end of what the brewery describes as an important chapter in its journey.

Keith McAvoy, CEO of SEVEN BRO7HERS BREWING CO, said: “Opening the MediaCity beerhouse was a fantastic opportunity for us coming out of Covid. It allowed us to reconnect with customers and bring SEVEN BRO7HERS into one of the most exciting parts of Salford’s hospitality scene. But the way people socialise, and drink has continued to evolve, with more customers looking for experience-led venues – whether that’s watching live sport, attending events or playing shuffle and darts. After reviewing our estate, we felt the MediaCity site was no longer the right fit for where we want to take the beerhouse side of the business. We have seen momentum in spaces like our 11 CENTRAL site, and so it makes sense to focus our time and energy there. The Media City site is one of our smaller sites and no longer offers what we need. This venue has been a huge part of our story. From busy weekends and pre- and post-match drinks to delicious food and countless pints shared with friends, it’s been a place full of brilliant memories. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way – especially the amazing regulars who made it feel like home and the incredible team who have worked there from start to finish.”

While the MediaCity beerhouse prepares to close, the brewery says customers will still find the full SEVEN BRO7HERS hospitality experience nearby at 11 CENTRAL and brewery Taproom, as well as the Ancoats Beer house.

Keith McAvoy added: “We’d love to see as many familiar faces as possible before the 15th to raise a final glass with us on the MediaCity campus."

SEVEN BRO7HERS continues to expand its presence across the UK through its brewery, beerhouses and retail listings. In recent news, SEVEN BRO7HERS favourite Easy IPA will be stocked in 750 Wetherspoons sites across the UK by the end of the Spring.

The new Spring Menu has landed at Refuge, celebrating vibrant seasonal produce and bold, confident flavours designed for sharing.

Think a bright spring salad of peas, asparagus and crispy hen’s egg, whipped smoked feta with broad beans and mint, or yellowfin tuna lifted with blood orange and yuzu. For something heartier, there’s lamb keema pudding with Madras jus, roasted organic salmon with corn bisque, and a 12oz Duroc pork chop with Yorkshire rhubarb and cider sauce. The spring pea risotto with wild garlic and goat’s cheese is already a standout.

And for those in the know, the perfect way to finish off the meal is with a cheesecake or a cheeky Vimto trifle because spring deserves a proper ending.

Their award-winning Girl Dinner, which was recently named Best Special Event Campaign in Europe at the HSMAI Awards has also returned with a luxurious new twist.

This season, they’re serving decadent Lobster Mac ’n’ Cheese paired with a crisp glass of Pecorino wine.

It’s indulgent. It’s elevated. It’s Spring at Refuge Manchester!

This morning (Monday 2nd February 2026) TNQ restaurant has announced their immediate closure with this heartfelt Social Media post

“After almost 22 years - we are unfortunately closing the doors to TNQ for good.

We’ve made it through the banking crisis, double dip recessions and COVID but the current climate has made the restaurant no longer a viable business. An increase in energy bills, wages, soaring food costs and the further imminent increase in business rates have created the perfect storm resulting in the closure of our beloved restaurant.

We want to thank all of our partners and suppliers over the years, many of whom are now friends of ours. Also thank you to the amazing team who have shed blood, sweat and tears throughout the years.

Finally thank you to all our wonderful guests who have supported us over the years, many of whom we are proud to call our friends. If you are due to join us - please bare with us - we will be in touch with all our bookings in due course and we can only apologise that we can no longer accommodate you. We will also be in touch with those with deposits and gift cards with us.

Our restaurant has been busy and often fully booked but it’s just not enough to be a sustainable business. We are so sorry but this is goodbye from us at TNQ, one of the longest established independent restaurants in our magnificent city.”

A Unique addition to one of their signature serves, your experience with Adam Reid At The French will now be rounded off by a visit from their bespoke Glenrothes X Adam Reid Tipsy Trolley.

Harking back to days gone by of dessert trolleys and rum Baba's once a staple of the 'old, old' French.

Adam's signature serve is a beautifully doused cake served with whipped yoghurt and tickled with a snifter of the one of a kind Glenrothes single malt.

Served tableside by their engaging chefs its more down to earth than the dickie bowed waiter led service of the past but with just as much passion and creativity! Find out what we thought of Adam Reid At The French on our last visit here.
