A good locals’ pub, steeped in history there is no denying that this is an amazing building with an inviting atmosphere…
Rumour has it that the licence application was originally declined as it was thought that such a venue would attract the ‘rowdy element’ and that it would be off-putting for the ladies walking up and down Derby Road.
The licence was, however, eventually approved and over the years this pub has boasted a bowling green (hence the name) as well as a roller skating rink and a massive function room that was apparently the go-to entertainment venue in the Island during the 60s.
While not quite matching up to its ‘glory days’, there is no denying that this is still an amazing building with an inviting atmosphere.
Very popular with tradesmen enjoying a teatime drink and those who recognise a good locals’ pub when they see it. Inside there’s plenty of space and period features as well as the usual pub games while outside there’s a comfortable covered smoking area. This pub is definitely worth a visit.

Very friendly crowd. And a great pint of Okell's Sadly now closed for good
Great pub serving a lovely pint of bitter , friendly service with a smile, thanks very much 🍻
Great friendly pub, great pint of Guinness. Doesn't look the best but quick service, chatty staff and regulars make up for that
Very dated needs work but staff are great could be a great pub once done up
Absolute quality, however if you are in the lounge portion of the bar the bell no longer has a ringer so you are required to use a little stiring thing. Regardless quality pub serves alcohol and has toilets.

A good traditional community pub. Iconic for a number of reasons not least for its position on the TT course…

To say there is always something going on at The Manor is a bit of an understatement – the fun never stops…
