The 30 Best Drinks pubs in Manchester

“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.”

“Great little bar , well worth a visit, good variety of beers.”

“A lovely little place that we visit every other Wednesday (unless Man Utd or City are on TV), where a gang of local musicians gather fortnightly to rehearse. The drinks are way cheaper than the pubs, and it's welcoming, comfortable, warm and friendly. If you're into snooker, there's a table upstairs too.”

“We had a dinner at this restaurant. It was a delicious meal and a very pleasant evening. The service was fabulous and the atmosphere was very relaxing, all the guests around us looked happy. The restaurant was well designed, very cosy and elegant. All the dishes were beautifully served and delicious. We were even offered a freebie, appetiser, before our meals. We were very pleased that we found this restaurant and definitely would recommend it. I also liked very much Black Sheep Ale.”

“Owners and staff are excellent, very friendly and eager to help. Burger was tasty and juicy, very enjoyable. Over all, a great experience. Can't wait to try the pizza.”

“Ordered 2 pizzas for takeaway and the service was quick - staff were friendly and the pizza was delicious. Overall a great experience 5⭐️!”

“Intimate little restaurant serving fabulous food, all cooked on order by owner and Chef, Mandy. The paella is the best I have ever tasted but don't forget to check the specials board as well. When everything is so good it's ideal that it's tapas, perfect for sharing with family and friends. Menu prices are very reasonable and as it's BYOB, you save money bringing your own alcoholic drinks. (Edit ; they charge that small an amount for corkage i never even noticed until they replied to this review) Friendly, attentive staff in a lovely relaxed atmosphere complete the picture, making this one of my favourite places to bring the people that I love. x”

“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!!!”

“Wonderful find, a bit of the beaten track, but great owners and wonderful Sunday Lunch. We had the three meats, beef, lamb and chicken.”

“Popped in for food and it was AMAZING!! I think new owners have taken it over about a year ago? I'm not too sure, but the menu is fabulous and everything that got brought out of the kitchen looked amazing. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.”

“Went for something to eat. Great service and a good menu to choose from. When the food came it was top quality and value for money. We went in the dark so found the drive a bit tricky but that would not stop me from going again.”

“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”

“I had to write this review straight away, as it was such a pleasure to visit a pub where we were met so warmly, the cask beer range produced in house is excellent ( Tried two & both very drinkable & very reasonably priced ) It was just a shame I had a train to catch otherwise I would have stayed! I will definitely be back & can only recommend! (Trains roughly every half hour from Manchester lovely small beer garden which is a sun trap!”

“Great place to share lovely food and fantastic service. Choose from a large selection on the "set menu", something for everyone. Second time there but it is quickly becoming our go-to curry house. Thank you.”

“Loved everything about this place! Wonderful staff, food & vibes. The food was well flavoured & succulent - even the chicken breast & pork chops which can be quite dry. Highly recommend”

“Brilliant place, a restaurant where the owner and all members of staff really care about the customer. Personal touch is bring met at the door by the manager. Food is really very good. Decor is lovely. Highly recommended.”

“Honestly where do I start the food is so nice always warm and fresh and the lovely staff give you free cheesy garlic bread if you spend to much which is so kind so I highly recommend you try here because the staff are really nice as well”

“Food was delicious..service great,but too often coming and checking on us..other then that all fantastic”

“Had such a lovely meal. We were a family of 7. The waiter explained the meal thoroughly and no question was too much! Thank you so much and we will definitely be returning. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and all of your staff!”

“Without this place, Chorlton would be really lacking in good east Asian food options. The food here is fire. The Bun Cha (fishcake noodle soup) is the one to order; the flavour in that broth really is something special! You can tell these guys really care about the food. I wish the papaya salad was spicier & funkier but that might just be me. Either way it's still fresh & delicious.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Jardim Restaurant! The fresh salads from the salad bar were crisp and full of flavor, the fries were perfectly cooked and delicious, and the steaks were tender and juicy. To finish, the chocolate marquise was absolutely divine – the perfect dessert! Highly recommend this place for both quality food and great atmosphere.”

“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 beautiful brunch with my 6 year old and her friend. Such a family friendly place that does quality food for children. Staff were great and so efficient. Loved the place and will definitely return.”

“Great veggie breakfast and delicious brew. Very friendly team and lovely atmosphere.”

“Food was fantastic here! And the service was amazing, I would recommend the famous lamb meatballs, but everything we had. Was great and prices are great value for money and what you expect for such high quality food!”

“What a fantastic meal we had, staff very attentive and looked after us really well. Menu had lots of choices, atmosphere brilliant infact the restaurant was packed with diners so you know it's a good place to eat. Will definitely book again and very soon.”

“This is the second time I've been here, and it won't be the last time I'm back. The food and drink are great - amazing selection whether you're a vegetarian or not - but what really sealed the deal on both occasions I've been here is Joanna. What an absolutely fantastic host. Great memory, and very personable. The food is awesome - on every occasion I've been here it's been incredible. No matter how busy, the staff are attentive. Place is well laid out. Cannot rate this place enough. Love it”

“The place to go in Royton - and Oldham for that matter - for craft beer. The menu is always changing with great choices from various breweries from across the UK. The atmosphere is always good and you're always given a friendly welcome. The food is great too, be it the in-house burgers or the various street food vendors that come into the kitchen, too.”

“The service from jess at the front of the house and james in the kitchen was excellent. The beers were refreshing, and the food was exceptional. My steak was one of the best I've tasted, the highlight of my visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting.”

“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.”
