24, 26 and 28 Dale Street is a Grade II listed terrace in the Northern Quarter area of Manchester, England. Built in the late 18th century as three individual townhouses, the buildings have since been altered and now contain a public house at ground‑floor level in No. 24, with offices above and further retail and office accommodation in the adjoining units.
The terrace was built in the late 18th century as three separate townhouses, and has been altered at various points since, including changes to the internal layout, the combination of two of the units, and modifications to the ground‑floor openings.[1]
The building at 24 Dale Street was in use as the Haunch of Venison public house throughout the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, with occupants recorded in trade directories between the 1840s and the 1910s.[2][3] It later became Nickleby's,[4] a pub that remained in operation until its closure in the late 1990s.[5]
On 3 October 1974, Nos. 24, 26 and 28 were designated a Grade II listed building.[1]
After Nickleby's closed, the premises were refurbished and used as offices by Knights Fashion Agencies, a clothing importer.[6]
A new bar, Allotment, opened in No. 24 in 2014[7] and traded until it was replaced in 2021 by the bar and restaurant HerdNQ, which closed in August 2023.[8] The unit was then occupied by a bar called Calcio, which remained active until December 2025.[9][10]
In March 2026 it was reported that the operators of the Crown and Kettle would take over the former Calcio space and open a pub called The Badger.[11]
The remainder of the terrace, excluding the pub, contains retail space at ground‑floor and basement level, with offices occupying the two upper floors.
