Cocktail bars in Manchester

“Swing north is a fun and friendly place to go to learn to swing dance and meet new people. It is brilliantly run, totally inclusive, with new fun lessons and events being introduced regularly! A fantastic community of kind and musical people. A joy to be part of!”

“First time I've been here, and it was incredible. We weren't planning on going here but our original restaurant was closed. The service was great, really friendly team members. The choice of cocktails and ales was fantastic, with alcohol free options. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I had the mushroom and truffle with a blossom spritz. My son wasn't a fan of his margarita, but that's probably because it's not filled with crap! If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be returning.”

“Amazing home cooked food, such great balanced flavours and truly delicious, healthy menu. Tasted like real Eastern European cooked in the home, which is actually what the lovely host told us: all cooked by his wife. Unbelievable desert, nothing was too heavy, but rich and layered tastes. Wine didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to trying again!”

“Our second visit and again, an absolutely fantastic evening! Superb food, all 3 courses were fantastic just like last time. The house red is brilliant too! The pasta and pizza were great and the ricotta cheesecake was to die for! So so good! Outdoor dinning was lovely in the courtyard. Already looking forward to going back again soon! Highly recommend, gluten free and vegan options available. Perfect for couples and families. It’s an absolute little gem!”

“Wow! Food and Service absolutely amazing. My Gyros Platter was unreal and my wife had the Kleftico which was amazing. Best food we have eaten in a long time and the owners were so welcoming. We will definitely be back.”

“Fantastic Bar with amazing people running it, and such a friendly crowd inside all round great atmosphere. Superb drink choice, with beers (north/ South my favourite) and cocktails a plenty (Gin Bramble my wifes favourite). They really go all out to look after you and your dogs too. My pug loves going, I have a pint she has some biscuits!”

“Lovely Saturday morning breakfast - all four guests chose different options and really enjoy them. Very friendly staff. Already planning the next visit!”

“Came here for our anniversary meal and it honestly was the best meal we have had! The staff were incredible throughout the night, and whilst we didn’t get their names, the young, blonde lady and the middle aged, olive skinned gentleman who served us a glass of bubbly each were amazing. The food is to die for and trust me you will not be going hungry when you leave. Thank you for making our night an unforgettable experience!”

“Fantastic Moroccan food. Amazing food and atmosphere. Great central location with the train station steps away and parking within walking distance.”

“The best Spanish restaurant!! Always on top of the quality and the service is amazing! If you want to have a quick trip to Spain without paying a expensive airline this is the place”

“Great value, large portions and very tasty food served very quickly.”

“Excellent gem in culcheth village. We had lunch with all dishes being fantastic and the buffalo chicken one of the best if not the best I’ve ever had. Superb for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just evening drinks and a place to celebrate! Really attentive and friendly service staff who the owners are lucky to employ.”

“I had a lovely lunch here yesterday, good offer of all the standard all day breakfast stuff as well as healthier options like salads, baked potatoes and lunch specials. Good value for money, much more reasonably priced than other eateries in Hale. Give it a try”

“Amazing venue! The only place I found that do literally everything for you all within a very reasonable price! Booked in April for a surprise baby shower yesterday and it was perfect! The room was all decorated perfectly with the cutest little touches, Nat did the buffet for us which was lovely and fresh with a good variety of food! Bar was stocked with lots of different drinks & the bouncy castle was the best thing to keep the kids entertained and safe! Herself & dale literally couldn’t have done anymore for us! 10/10 experience & will definitely recommend! Thank you so much xxx”

“Always friendly staff, handy and cheaper than spar”

“My first time at Everyman and I was blown away by the fantastic customer service. As soon as we arrived we were wonderful greeted and shown a table before we waited for the screen to be open. A lovely guy with a beard and glasses came and sat to take our order - I couldn’t get over how incredibly friendly and polite he was. The service was worth every penny and the food was delicious.”

“The food was very delicious, and affordable, drinks were affordable and glad there were choices to choose. The DJ was great, a nice friendly place to celebrate with friends or partner.”

“Delicious bagels with wonderful fresh ingredients. Service is lovely and welcoming. Amazing place to pop in for a morning coffee, brunch, lunch or an afternoon sweet treat. Delish!!!”

“A nice fine dining restaurant with absolutely delicious food. We visited the restaurant for lunch and it was an amazing experience. There are various options for both vegetarian and non vegetarians. The portions were really good. Above all we were welcomed and served by really warm and courteous staff. We would definitely recommend. Note: Visited the place in October 23”

“Invited by friends last night what can I say everything was fantastic food service and Wainwright's beer fully recommend Thanks for a great experience”

“Had an amazing time at Hawksmoor Manchester. The team’s hospitality was spot-on — friendly, genuine, and made us feel really well looked after. Started the evening with a few cocktails at the bar, which were fantastic. The steak was the real highlight — perfectly cooked medium rare, juicy, and full of flavour. Honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long while, and I’ve been to quite a few steakhouses! Lovely ambience too — perfect for a relaxed date night.”

“Had a wonderful meal this evening. Steak cooked to perfection and lovely atmosphere. Best part of the evening was our waiter Patrick - amazing service, amazing personality and is a credit to M&C.”

“Well called here with the family for a meet up What can one say? But it was a pleasant evening. The food choices was very nice.Everybody seemed to have enjoyed what they had ordered. Price was acceptable for that's type a restaurant staff were very lovely and friendly. Look forward to the next time we are in the area and go back.”

“Best food I've had since living in Manchester for the past 4 years. Easily a 10/10. Service is amazing, everyone is really friendly and welcoming. Staff and people sitting inside. Reasonable prices and the portion sizes are huge. I would recommend coming here.. It can get busy during peak times but during the week it's nice”

“A bit quiet hence the 4 stars for atmosphere. Otherwise absolutely excellent food, cooked to perfection and service. Very attentive staff. Warm and comfortable. Not pressured at all. 5 stars is warranted.”

“We went for the classic afternoon tea. We usually don't like the top dessert layer but this was the best one we ever had. The food was fresh. Scones just out of the over. The service was attentive but not overbearing which is the perfect balance. I would recommend it to try the alcoholic drinks too they had a great collection. Not many tea options but the ones we tried were very good quality with nice taste. A place we would definately re visit when they change the menu.”

“Great Macclesfield food. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Good range of options for those with different dietary requirements. The mint sauce for the beautifully cooked lamb was my favourite part - wish I could've taken a whole vat of the sauce home with me. Thanks.”

“Lovely place. A little quiet gem. Spoiled with drink choices and good price too. One of our most favourite places when visiting Berlin”

“Wonderful place for breakfast especially if staying at the Crown Plaza, as we have several times. Not only is the food great, the ambience and decor is charming with its plants and each table having an old fashioned glass milk bottle with cute stainless steel cups for drinking water! It’s a popular place so today we arrived as they opened in order to get a seat. It soon filled up. This place does a lot of takeaway breakfasts also. We were served by the lovely and friendly Josh and ordered the amazing French toast along with the Turkish eggs with chorizo. Coffees were great as well. Service is polite and efficient and we’ll be back tomorrow!”

“Our stay at Hyatt House Manchester was excellent. The front desk staff were very kind and extremely helpful. Both the dinner and breakfast restaurant staff were also lovely, and the food was very good. The location is convenient, making it easy to get around the city. We had booked connecting rooms and received exactly what we requested — the rooms were spacious, bright, and comfortable. A great choice for families and anyone visiting Manchester.”
