The 30 Best Bar experience in Manchester

“Fantastic sandwiches, walked in and now order for pick up. Everything you want on a salad. The pies are gorgeous and the cakes are fabulous. Jackie”

“We overall love this bar and have been coming on and off for years. We first visited many years ago before they installed air con, and our complaint then was how warm it got when busy, the adding of the air con is brilliant. In recent days, we've become regulars. Where to start with the praise? Great vibe, musicals on the screens and lovely clean toilets. Lee, the doorman, is brilliant. A model bouncer and doorman. Last year, we unfortunately had an experience with a straight man who became aggressive to us and we told the bar staff who got Lee, whom proceeded to kick him out with 0 hassle to us and made us feel safe. This is our only bad experience in 5+ years of coming here as the place is great. The cocktails are inventive, delicious and bright to look at. Their new movie night Mondays is a great initiative and their changing boards of cocktails often based on musicals that have come to the city, are brilliant. The bar staff are so smiley, pleasant and love a laugh. One remembers my order every time which is special to us to be remembered. Our only complaint now, is that they're so busy some nights we never have anywhere to sit. But we're so happy they're full and business is booming!”

“Breakfast was great! Very relaxing atmosphere. We will be back!”

“Cute little café, nice staff, very friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. Loved the Irish Coffee they made me on request ❤️”

“Wish there was a mocha on the menu because coffee on its own is a little strong for me. I did ask but he said there is hot chocolate usually when I ask they just add some Choco into the coffee drink. Table service seems like a very cute place staff are nice just stood at the front for a bit until we asked to be served and wasn’t sure how it worked, you sit down and the staff come to you. Toilets are on the bottom floor. Open late which is great. Close to tram stop and it was nice to stop by before heading to our next stop.”

“Was great food service and atmosphere”

“Excellent gluten free range! Wished we had something like this in the midlands. 5/5 food taste. Recommend the Singapore vermicelli noodles. Large portion sizes too so that’s breakfast sorted”

“Wagamama at The Trafford Centre is exactly what you expect, and that’s a compliment! The energy here is infectious—it’s busy, as is expected in such a massive and popular shopping centre, but the team handles it brilliantly. We experienced fast, efficient service despite the crowds, which is a testament to the staff and management. Most importantly, the food is, as always, amazing and consistently tasty. They deliver on their promise of fresh, delicious Asian-inspired food every time. If you need a reliable, quick, and satisfying meal while shopping, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!”

“Immaculately clean, most welcoming and friendly staff who can not do enough for you. I’ve never had anything bad. You can tell everything is homemade using quality ingredients. Highly recommend the soup and the chicken curry!!! The best in the area :)”

“Amazing butty place really friendly staff I go here all the time as I work around the corner always big portions breakfast are also really good. Never had a bad butty or breakfast always excellent”

“AMAZING food, staff & price!Very generous portions. They do the best jackets & paninis. Definitely worth going”

“We were looked after by Felix who was very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and we were kindly given christmas bubbly and a happy birthday tiramisu as it was an 80th birthday celebration. Will definitely return. Perfect venue for pre bridgewater Hall meal as its literally a 3 minute walk and there's a reasonably priced small ncp car park opposite ginos too.”

“The food was absolutely incredible, definitely the best Tapas I've eaten outside of Spain! The service was on point, Jose made us feel welcome immediately and was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back for more, I loved it!!”

“We had a wonderful evening at Wanago! The service was excellent; friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The sushi was absolutely delicious, fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Highly recommended if you're looking for a great sushi spot with a lovely atmosphere!”

“Gorgeous and delicious food!! Friendly staff ,nice atmosphere!”

“Absolutely love this place. The food is second to none, the cocktails are amazing and the staff are extremely helpful polite and quick. I love the decor, it creates a lovely atmosphere. Very warm and welcoming place, with great live music almost daily. Plus the prices are fair, All round brilliant and definitely recommend.”

“Really good Chinese with very tasty dishes and good service. They have a separate bar and some high tables for people who want to eat small plates. Free parking behind the restaurant. Recommended.”

“I popped down to Moda for breakfast on Wednesday morning (their opening day) I had the steak and eggs with the healthy breakfast bowl and it was stunning both dishes were full of flavour and well cooked. Inside the decor is beautiful and calming with a great vibe. The staff are friendly, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. I looked over the drinks menu and so much choice for everyone's taste. I can’t wait to go again.”

“Sat down for a cup if tea and some food with my daughter. The fish was cooked perfectly and the chips and gravy reminded me of the old days. Beautiful service.”

“Fantastic team, highly recommend restaurant. I have booked this one to celebrate my husband birthday, amazing foods and overwhelming arrangement for us. Especially thanks Valeria, Sashin and Rhys, good team!!”

“Lovely food and well presented starters. Mango mojito was top . I would recommend this restaurant and try “different” indian experience compare to all the same food you get in indian fast foods around.”

“Chips and curry too good to be true. Still licking my lips days later.”

“popped in on my own as I’ve never tried it here, only ordered a few starters and two pints. What an excellent Indian, best in Glossop 100%, very attentive staff, top food and fairly priced. I will definitely be returning for a banquet!”

“Wow! Just ordered a delivery as was feeling unwell and didn't want to cook. I'm SO glad I ordered. Had the Hot and Spicy soup which was comforting and delicious along with the thai red curry. Everything seemed so fresh and tasty. Wanted to ring them up to thank them, but I chickened out. So Thank you So much for a delicious meal;”

“I have been here twice now. A real authentic Italian experince. The food is excellent value for money and really tasty. The staff are friendly and polite. I will definelty return again.”

“Unique take on typical indie-cafe food! I had a slightly spicey bacon butty and eggs benedict which had a delicious kick and I've never tried such a unique take on traditional breakfast food! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere :)”

“The restaurant has a charming and cozy ambiance, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed meal. The menu is diverse and caters to a wide range of preferences, including vegetarian options. The service was excellent, especially thanks to Anamika, who served us with kindness and warmth. We tried the Legit Burger, which was delicious, along with the flavorful basmati rice, mac and cheese, and a variety of vegetables. Everything was well-prepared and satisfying. Despite visiting on a Thursday evening, the restaurant wasn’t crowded, and we didn’t have to wait for a table. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food and attentive service. Highly recommended!”

“I just celebrated my birthday and book release ("Sun-Kissed and Sidetracked") here, and I couldn’t be happier! The service was top-notch; the team greeted me warmly and made me feel really special. The food and drinks were delicious, and everything came out super fast. A lovely complementary dessert plate made my day. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone wanting a memorable meal! Looking forward to our next visit!”

“A very nice bar with a great atmosphere in the center of Manchester. Mostly Brewdog beers of course. We were served by Jordan and James, they were really nice”

“Absolutely loved this hotel. It is a short walking distance from the train station, easy to access. The building looks amazing and the rooms are just fab! It is a proper hotel room but very well equipped even had a small kitchen installed giving a feeling of an RBnb so you can cook your own meals if you want. Nice and clean bathroom with some nice brands of shampoo and body wash. Also had iron and hair dryer. Oh, and the view was stunning, staff was superfriendly. Wifi was quick, easy to connect and even the staircase looks beautiful. Highly recommended accomodation if you visit Manchester.”
