Bars for special occasions in Manchester

“Personnel's changed and it's excellent now! The service used to be really bad but they have changed the management and most of staff and they are exceptionally friendly now and the service is excellent too. Also they have live music every night however Siamak is much better than the other singer.”

“Great DJ, music selection was great, sounds brilliant, very busy, great for a Saturday night.”

“Very beautiful space with good food. The options are decent enough for the type of setting. They have a kids menu as well. We had the chicken and bacon club sandwich, sweet potato fries and halloumi fries. The food looked good and tasted really great. Some seats were just beside the window that overlooks the ski. There's also a balcony that gives a good view of the ski”

“I’ve ordered cocktails from the drinks drop a few times now and it’s been ace every time. Great menu, really great drinks and they arrive as expected ready for the weekend.... I've already recommended to loads of mates who all loved it also, so can’t recommend highly enough. Brilliant!”

“Had my lips dissolved by Francesca, she is a lovely down to earth lady who makes everyone feel at ease. Salon is beautiful & clean. She knows exactly what she is doing & is very professional & knowledgeable”

“Great experience, they can always suggest new cocktails and spirits to try based on your preferences. Lots of my favourite drinks I didn't know about until I went here. It's a little gem in Glossop. Definitely recommend!!”

“That's the best pub in the area. So clean toilet, exemplary services . Everybody feels so comfortable. Nice and quiet. Very recommended.”

“Best Barbers in area!! Been going to this barbers since I moved into the area. Great hair cut every time. Never rushed Adam always takes time to give the best cut. Great looking shop can’t recomend this place enough 10/10”

“Helen is a beautiful soul. Loveliest person it have met in a while. And her smile is definitely contagious. Thank you for the help in making a decision for the gift I needed for someone who has it all.”

“Everything about this place is first class! Amazing delicious food, attention to detail Presentation of food, tables, staff is all excellent. Staff are amazing all smiley, happy and talk to you, which you don’t get very often! Special thanks to the lovely, good looking Sag on the service provided, we will definitely see you again!”

“I had many of my friends recommending this place, and when we finally tried it for my birthday - it exceeded all expectations! The service was amazing, very helpful and welcoming. The food was unreal, very unique menu with lots of things to try. We tried a fair few dishes as recommended and I’m still thinking about their pastas dishes. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff for making my birthday so special.”

“Pizza was really delicious and the atmosphere was really nice and chilled. Will definitely be coming back!! (Would love to see some veggie meat options on there;) ) Would recommend!”

“We booked initially for 10 people but then added an extra 9. The restaurant were very accommodating and did everything to ensure we had the best night. We pre-ordered our food so everything was ready together - one of our party even said how great it was doing the pre-order so we could just enjoy our evening. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and were able to put up a banner and take balloons. The staff were all so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Now onto the food- which was delicious. All dishes were presented well and were very fresh and tasty - which is how I expect Mediterranean food to be. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly and from what the rest of the party said - their dishes were amazing too. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back. Massive thanks to Mina who did a fantastic job of looking after us.”

“Magnificent meal to celebrate a birthday. Extremely friendly and attentive staff, and food so delicious, we’ve been dreaming about it all again today. We had the lamb birria taco (to die for!!) and a sharing tray of meats. Highly recommended, with excellent music & strong cocktails to boot. We will be back for sure! Thank you all for a wonderful evening meal”

“Fantastic experience like every time. Wine is always excellent, menu changes all the time - but all the dishes we tried this time were great. Tuna carpaccio was our star this evening! Flat bread with beef fat is a must. Great place to enjoy good and creative food and wine and have a good and relaxing evening. All recommendations.”

“Great local pub with good atmosphere. All staff are friendly and helpful.”

“First time in here, met Chris the bar tender absolutely lovely guy. Really welcoming, the atmosphere is amazing and feels homely. Top quality conversations and would definitely be attending again! 5 star service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The Black Friar has been amazing to work with for our friendship group's annual Christmas lunch. They made the entire booking process extremely easy, with all the T&Cs clearly outlined from the start. On the day we were looked after by Jess, who was incredible, very quick to respond to any issues raised, never kept anyone waiting, so accommodating with our various quirks (like pictures), and was easy to reach when needed without making it seem like hovering. And always with a smile, of course. Truly, truly a standout member of the team deserving of all the praise. The food at the Black Friar was also divine, incredibly generous portions (that I admit, have bested me) and every bite was a pleasure for all the senses. Our whole group was very happy with the afternoon we got to spend there and we will definitely be looking into coming back for next year's annual Christmas lunch, a total gem of a pub.”

“Great little wine shop and bar with inside and outside seating. Wide choice of wines and other drinks in the bar as well as cheese/charcuterie platters. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff. Particularly recommend wine flight Wednesday: three small (70ml) glasses of wine for a reasonable price!”

“A brilliant experience. Lovely local cinema that you can book in advance to sit with a group of your family and friends. We enjoyed a great film that was better in a group.”

“Went for a birthday dinner, the staff were polite and pleasant throughout and the owner was beyond lovely, treating all his customers and staff with tremendous respect. The food quality is outstanding and the portions are generous with very fair prices for what you receive. 10/10 would eat there again.”

“I love it here. I come all the time for food and/or drinks. Every time the staff and experience is brilliant. The cocktails are unique and inventive. They also do happy hour on the cocktails and oysters! Food is lovely and creative too. They change the menus seasonally, which means you get to try lots of different stuff each time you visit.”

“This is a lovely little cafe on Pepper Road Industrial Estate and you can takeaway. I had a mango and berry smoothie and a sweet chilli and cheese panini. Both were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be coming back! The staff are also very friendly and welcoming.”
