Camerons Brewery has announced plans to open a new Head of Steam venue in Manchester city centre later this year, the 16th site for the craft beer brand.

Located on the edge of the Northern Quarter, in the former Cottonopolis and Lamb of Tartary site on Newton Street, the new 2,800 sq ft venue will have a capacity for 180 guests. It will create 14 new jobs.
The opening forms part of Camerons’ ongoing strategy to grow the national footprint of its flagship Head of Steam craft beer brand while reflecting a strategic and sustainable approach to site investment.
“It’s fantastic that The Head of Steam and Camerons Brewery are back on the expansion trail,” said Chris Soley, chief executive of Camerons Brewery.
“Following our successful refinance in 2024, we are delighted that The Head of Steam Manchester will be the first venue to open on this next stage of growth.”
The venue will feature 30 beer lines — 24 keg and six cask — complemented by a rotating range of cans and bottles from UK and international craft breweries.
