Bars for special occasions in Manchester

“This was our first time staying at the Edwardian Manchester, and we were so impressed from start to finish. The staff were welcoming and professional, making us feel right at home the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is stunning beautifully designed, spotless, and with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Breakfast was excellent too, with plenty of choice and great quality. The location couldn’t be better for exploring the city, and we really appreciated the little touches that made our stay feel special. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are already looking forward to coming back!”

“Great food. The steak on a hot stone is excellent. Friendly staff and reasonably priced considering the quality.”

“Really nice spot with a good vibe. I had a OG cheese pizza slice and a beer, both were tasty, simple but satisfying. It was raining when I visited, so I sat inside, but I can imagine it’s even better when the weather’s nice and you can sit outside. Service was quick and the atmosphere was relaxed. A great place for a casual drink and a bite in the city.”

“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”

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

“Had our Christmas do here on Friday. Staff were SO lovely and efficient, food was phenomenal. The vegan mushroom pie was excellent, plenty of extra gravy provided. Really nice night thank you.”

“Had an amazing time here the other week, the DJ was absolutely amazing had the whole room bouncing! Guys on the door were boss and got in quick and easy, no fuss. Bar staff inside so kind and even helped me find my phone when I lost it! Would absolutely recommend anyone a night out here!”

“Our first visit to this gem of a bar and bistro. A special thank you to Lily and John for the absolutely wonderful tapas especially the Salmon/fresh ginger/fishcakes and chicken wings, well everything actually. Delicious cocktails too. We will definitely be back, soon. Thank you.”

“Wow! This place reminds me of walking in to the likes of Pacha in Spain for the first time, the music pumping and the smoke acting as a barrier between the real world and club land. Tech house was the flavour of the night, and my god it tasted good! What an epic deviation of the norm, I could've literally thrown shapes all night in here! Could this place be the venue that puts Preston back on the clubland map? I think so!!!”

“The food here is amazing! The jollof rice was especially great, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The puff puff delight was excellent — soft, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Special shoutout to Oyinda for her great customer service; she was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Had a surprise 60th for my dad at this venue and can only say good things. The complementary buffet was lovely and the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough. I would recommend this venue to my friends and family for any of their parties.”

“Was in the area looking for food and found this place, looked like it had a good variety as I had a picky eater with me and I was correct! Great options, nice flavours and friendly staff with a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning if im ever in Stockport as this was a great find!”

“I had this place in mind for months before deciding to visit here on a date night. We booked a table easily online (via their website) and the pictures there lived up to the real thing. The deco in this place is amazing to create the right atmosphere for any occasion.... Date night, drinks with friends at the weekend or during the week. The staff were very friendly and the food.... THE FOOD! It was delicious! And reasonably priced too!”

“First time today, the food was amazing!!! Loved the option for a two/three course meal at around £23. The Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned!! And tasted so good and the portion size was perfect. The cookie desert was so tasty! Again the flavours were amazing. Defo coming back again.”

“AKA...The Vegan Sting! I love this place. The food here is fantastic. They will accommodate changes to give a gluten free option. The couple that own this place are so lovely. Just thinking about this vegan junk food makes me salivate. I can't wait to visit again.”

“Amazing bar in a great area. Yesterday was brilliant, the outside DJ brought an ever better atmosphere to a lively place. The staff were very approachable and friendly. Would definitely recommend and I will be back 100%!”

“Always worth a visit. The staff are welcoming, the drinks menu offers a great selection, and the club has a premium feel compared to others in Manchester. The dancers are professional, friendly, and respectful, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. I’ve had many memorable nights here, particularly with Rosey and Angel, who always make the experience feel extra special.”

“Absolutely amazing chippy! Always try to go in every week! The gravy is thick and rich (the best kind of gravy). The lady is really nice who serves me and the food for me is fabulous!”

“As an international traveler I was pleasantly surprised at the way I was treated with my friends. There was understandable caution from the door team but after a positive interaction with the head door person we were allowed entry, there was quite a few of us . We all go out ID checked and that was humorous. The venue was just what we needed the place and the music was amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and we had had an absolute blast! Thank you so much everybody at the Brewers, credit where credit is due!”

“Had afternoon tea. Was lovely...Nice sandwiches and cakes....plenty of tea and coffee. Pleasant staff.”

“Been having my nails done here for quite a while now, always happy with them. Never break, can always fit me in - Staff are super friendly. Xx”

“Went here with my daughter who had booked us an afternoon tea. Great value and really enjoyed it. A cocktail was included in the price also and our visit coincided with perfect timing for 2 for 1 cocktails. Good location as right near to Deansgate train station. Waitress/bar staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive.”

“Can't put my fork down long enough to not type and eat at the same time. I thought I'd tasted all there was to taste. I go out to eat a lot and this is the best food in Salford.”

“Please don't walk past this hidden gem. Amir delivers personal service to his customers. Excellent value, cooked to order, good ingredients, fresh and delicious. I personally love the cheese and onion omelette. Served with chips or salad. It's the best that I have ever tasted. Cooked breakfast is great too. There's a big coffee machine if you want latte etc. Kids drinks and snacks too. Don't miss the specials chalkboard! There's extra tables outside and upstairs. There is a toilet upstairs too.”

“8 of us played this fantastic golf course with a great clubhouse with sky sports and a games room. The breakfast was one of the best I've had. We will be back soon.”

“great food best Chinese in Manchester must order staff were so nice and helpful arrived early and hot must order from here. the price is really cheap and affordable in this area many places have it more expensive”

“I've been coming here for over four years and I think they are very good at waxing eyebrows. I find the comments made about staff being rude and shouting hard to believe, as that's something I've never experienced or seen. If anything the way some customers speak to the staff I consider to be rude. Hardly hear people saying thank you or please. Manners work both ways.”

“nice friendly bar, full of lovely nice characters. has good karaoke nights and a fabulous band onnlast weekend”
