The Kings Arms at 11 Bloom Street, Salford (M3 6AN) is a thriving bohemian community arts pub just minutes from Manchester city centre — first licensed in 1807 and now a much-loved boozer, music venue and theatre with artists' studios. Downstairs there's a cobbled beer garden and a David Bowie–themed snug; upstairs hosts award-winning fringe theatre, live music, spoken word, lectures and performance art across a wide range of genres. It's a genuine grassroots hub for emerging artists and remains one of Salford's best-known independent venues.
