Bars with atmosphere in Manchester

“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.”

“Patrick and Linda really nice people friendly proper food good old english cafe”

“Came Saturday 3rd December for our Christmas do. We all had food and drinks. It was very busy so our food was miss ordered but once it came it was out of this world. Most of us had loaded fries. Because of the delay we got a discount. The food prices were really reasonable. Would definitely recommend.”

“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!”

“Really friendly and helpful staff, good veggie breakfast and great value for money. Left feeling nice and full ready to start my day! I’ll definitely be going back!”

“Lovely place, right next to Heaton Park metro. Only had a brew and a cake but it’s spacious, light and airy, with nice, big booths and a sunny back yard (looks like a good set up for DJ’s too) Coffee was good, sweet stuff was from Silver Apples, so pretty familiar and more than decent quality. Staff were super friendly. Will definitely head back and try some proper food and drinks soon”

“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!”

“We stumbled upon this restaurant on a trip to Manchester to celebrate my 50th birthday. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We wouldn't hesitate to return whenever we are back in Manchester!”

“I had breakfast here, and it’s interesting to have such deluxe breakfast in the U.K. I love the egg bar, and the chef who cooked the omelette for me was wonderful and lovely. The overall vibe therein was marvellous.”

“Some bad reviews on here but heres my experience, I cant comment on the chinese meals but they are next on my lis... I just had the fish ( small ) that would have sunk a battle ship it was that big it could have fed 2 of us.... Cooked to perfection....friendly staff.... I'll deefinately be 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.”

“Perfect. No phones. No swearing. Great beer. Friendly locals. An exterior more in keeping with the French Riviera than Burnage.”

“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%!”

“Great staff,good atmosphere and superb LANDLADY and land lord ok lol no he's brill”

“I visited The Oxnoble on a Sunday with a friend who had been before for their Sunday roast. She mentioned the concept had changed a bit, but regardless, the Sunday roast was absolutely delicious! Our waiter, Sean, was super friendly and made the experience even better (he recommended the cauliflower chees and OMG soo good). I would definitely recommend The Oxnoble to anyone visiting Manchester for the weekend!”

“The bowling alley is well maintained. Booking is recommended if you plan to go during weekends as it could get busy.”

“Nice place for people of all ages to have fun, play games, and dine as there is a restaurant in there. My kids love it here, and they can never get enough of the games. You can go along with your coins or change your notes into coins to play the games.”

“My favourite gay venue in the UK, and I say that as someone who's been around the block a few times! It couples the sexy vibe of gay clubbing from the 1990s with the attitude-free, diverse and welcoming vibe that you now get in the 2020s, which to me represents major progress. Yes, it's men only (including trans men, which is as it should be), but beyond that, it really doesn't matter what age or body size you are, or where you stand in the perceived pecking order of good looks. It's a friendly place, where it's easy to fall into conversaton with new people, and the overall atmosphere is fun and flirty. I've never had a bad night there.”

“I've never tried the food like this in my entire life they are the best I wish I could give them 10 stars..”

“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!”

“Honestly, one of the best noodles takeaway that I have been to. They have variety of options that you can order, as well as their food is freshly made and tasty. Top customer service.”

“Best Ghanaian food I’ve had since moving to Manchester and I dare say the best in the uk. Very tasty, great portions, excellent service.”

“Mini fish, chips and a splash of peas! Probably the best chips I have ever had from a chippy. So tasty and a bargain at £5.20”

“The best fish ’n’ chips in the area. PERIOD. Anybody saying the Kingfisher on Parrin Lane is better — and the other comments — listen up. Yes, they are super friendly at the Kingfisher. They also close at 8:30, not the 9 p.m. this one does. And you can’t complain that this no longer takes card payments because neither does the Kingfisher, but this at least allows bank transfer — so basically it takes card payments. Also, saying it’s expensive? Last night I got a LARGE FISH & CHIPS with a pot of GRAVY and a pot of MUSHY-PEAS (both of which are far superior to Kingfisher’s) for £11.20. I think that’s very fair. I’m posting the pics here so you can see how amazing they are — and that’s after going to Lidl and walking 10 minutes home. Hot, delicious, and not greasy. 10/10. Give them a try at least once so you KNOW for yourself. :)”

“Tried this place out for a change and what a nice surprise. Massive but if cod fries to perfection and excellent chips! I'll be back.”

“Service was amazing. They were very attentive to my friend who has a food allergy. We got there at 6:40pm but got a train to catch at 8. They sped up the service and we were out by 7:40pm. Steaks superb, Caesar can’t be faulted, and chips to die for.”

“I sent my Respect To Lawrence and my Dear Friend Kath Hennigan , I am The Second Husband Mark”

“love eafly evening drinks in here on a Friday.”

“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!”

“We can’t seem to stop coming back! The portion sizes are generous, the food is consistently delicious (the salt and pepper chips are 100% worth the extra), and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Carl always greets us with a big smile and makes us feel right at home. Highly recommend, and already looking forward to our next visit!”
