   Popped in for a pre-show dinner at The Academy. It's located conveniently across the street. The atmosphere is great with a real eclectic mix of students, locals and people going to gigs. Large premises with outdoor seating and upstairs options. You order at the bar with your table number remembered! I didn't! Solid selection of drinks, including non-alcoholic. Vegetarian options on several dishes. I had a salad and it was okay-the vegetables were fresh but the dressing tasted bottled. But, the staff were efficient and friendly.

   Came here for a quick lunch with the family and was left underwhelmed to say the least. Big extensive menu with a lot of items, breakfast menu served till late, brunch menu and a lot more with some vegan/vegetarian options to choose from. The place itself has got quite a nice vibe. Ordered few different items at the bar and paid in advance. When the food arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the half rack of ribs. Problem was when I started eating them… they were really tough and didn’t smell the greatest. I feel as if they were not really made fresh (on the day). They smelled and looked (very grey meat) quite old, maybe a day or two spent in the fridge. I managed to eat like 2 small ones in total and couldn’t eat the remaining. The facon on my partner’s breakfast was very thin and very overcooked. He enjoyed the other items. On the vegetarian mezze the hummus was quite alright, don’t think it’s home made tho. The pitta on the other end was not good either. Some Slices were thick and chewy, some others looked more like a tortilla wrap. I get it that it’s off season as many students are gone home, though I feel the food was really sub par. Throughout the lunch, we were never asked how the food was, as in, no one came to check on us to see if we needed anything after they have brought the food and therefore I could not really give a feedback on my meal nor get it rectified. Given that the food needs to be paid in advance, we have not seen anyone from the staff after the food was given to the table. Probably best for their selection of drinks rather than food.

   Food is really nice. There is quite a few students so can be a bit busy at times. The lights are dim in the first room but the hanging lights in the second room are a tad bright not too bad though. The music isn’t too loud, decent portion sizes would recommend, we got 2 for 1 burgers on Tuesday, ‘fat chips’ , mac n cheese & two cokes and payed £31.30 so on the pricey side.

   Always a great experience, been here many times and it never disappoints! The staff are lovely and bring your food quickly. They have a great variety of ales and lagers that they regularly rotate. The 2 for 1 offers on food is fantastic value too.

   The burgers were delicious. The vegan Thai tofu stir fried noodles were also very delicious, which is remarkable considering that this place does not specialise in Asian cuisine. It’s very close to the university so it’s often frequented by students, which might explain why the prices are quite cheap. If you’re coming by car, find a parking spot in advance. There’s some free roadside parking on Cecil Street, which is about a 7 minute walk away.

   A nice bar, plenty of outdoor seating, great selection of beers and conveniently situated over the road from the Academy. Efficient service at the bar too, even when the place is busy. We'll worth a visit for a pre / post gig beverage!

   Nice bar opposite the Academy in Manchester where we were going for a gig. Good choice of beers and really nice food at student prices. Also good sized disabled toilets. Would recommend.

   A very good place to drink some special beers. Good price, having into account the location. A lot of varieties of beer and a nice place to be in. It has a terrace but the inside is very fine. Right in front of the university.
