Dulcimer

“Music is in our blood” proclaim the team behind Dulcimer, the long-standing Chorlton bar named after a funkily shaped hammer-struck string instrument, whose moniker, in turn, comes from the Latin for sweet melody.

All this is very fitting since you can get hammered in Dulcimer while listening to sweet melodies and finish the night throwing some funky shapes (groan!)

The musical schedule is as eclectic as it comes. You’ll find local live performers soundtracking your drinking with slide guitar, blues, country, and Afro-Caribbean amongst other musical styles, as well as regular DJs of every flavour.

Along with all the usual bevvies you’d expect from a decent bar, they have an interesting and ever-changing range of cask ales, craft ciders, and cocktails, with a heavy focus on the rum in their liquor cabinet.
