Hardy's Well is a public house located at the end of the Curry Mile, at 257 Wilmslow Road, in Rusholme, south Manchester, near to Platt Fields Park. The 200-year-old building is named after Hardy's Brewery, and was formerly known as Birch Villa, later the Birch Villa Hotel, which has existed on the site since 1837. The front of the building has a Hardy's mosaic on it, and is two storeys high with three bays, built of red brick.

Following from a conversation between Lemn Sissay and the landlord in 1994, it has one of the first public poems written on one of its gable walls. The poem is known as "Hardy's Well", after the name of the pub. Sissay went on to display poetry UK-wide.
