Local bands in Manchester

“A decent-sized music venue in a very nice area of Manchester. Lots of surrounding bars and restaurants to go to before your gig. The venue was well-run, clean and the sound quality was good. Some of the upstairs area is quite awkward to find a good view from but the layout is quirky. Plenty of nearby parking options make it accessible to those travelling to the concert too.”

“I just celebrated my birthday and book release ("Sun-Kissed and Sidetracked") here, and I couldn’t be happier! The service was top-notch; the team greeted me warmly and made me feel really special. The food and drinks were delicious, and everything came out super fast. A lovely complementary dessert plate made my day. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone wanting a memorable meal! Looking forward to our next visit!”

“Very helpful if you are struggling it's worth speaking to them”

“This is the second time I’ve taken jewellery to Diadem for repair. Customer service is excellent, with work completed quickly and for a fair price. I’m particularly happy with today’s repair, which was done on the spot so I can wear my favourite earrings for Christmas.”

“We had a fantastic experience with The Silver Sisters. Lovely workshop environment and easy to follow instruction. We were taken through each step thoroughly and it was made very easy for us to trust the process of silver ring making. We were delighted with our finished rings. A fun experience and lifelong momento. Thank you.”

“I had amazing work done by Adam on my knee, full coverup and I'm blown away by it. All of the other artists & customers are super friendly too- definitely recommend and I'll be back many more times”

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

“Tori is very professional and an expert in her field. She is also incredibly patient and it is clear that it is important for her to that the client is happy with their piercing/purchase. Her jewellery is on trend but stylish, high quality and reasonably priced. I have no hesitation in recommending Wolf and Gypsy.”

“This family jewellers have been a pleasure to deal with, every time I’ve used them. Alex is a trusted expert and has a real talent for what he does and Heather is super welcoming, friendly and accommodating. I’ve had two sets of diamond earrings made by Alex and I’ve also had my diamond ring taken apart and reset. Alex is super knowledgable and advised throughout the process, using CAD as a design tool which allowed us to see and sign off the ring prior to it being created. All work has been finished in a timely manner and to the highest quality. Highly recommend and thank you for my beautiful pieces !”

“Staff was very helpful. I was looking for a SOS medical bracket for my dad which they sold. They even reduced the size of it while we waited. Recommend if you are after one of these.”

“Simon was absolutely amazing! My finger was swollen, my ring stuck and I was in a lot of discomfort, but he kindly helped me by cutting my ring off, and even did it free of charge. He was so gentle, caring, and reassuring throughout the whole process. I felt such a huge sense of relief afterwards. Thank you so much, Simon, for your kindness and help!”

“I’ve been learning guitar for two months at the age of sixties and with no prior experience, and I’m really enjoying it! The Maunder’s School of Popular Music provides a welcoming and supportive environment. My teacher- Neil, is talented, patient, and great at simplifying strumming patterns and chords. Highly recommended for learners of any age!”

“Just bought a pair of opal earrings to match a pendant bought as a Xmas present. Owners couldn't have been more helpful, really take their time in showing you options and letting you make your own mind up. Even had some new earring backs to ensure they can't be lost. Highly recommended, and will continue to use. Even witnessed the owner 'repair' a carriage clock that just needed the connections cleaning FOC, another shop would have easily charged for the same 'repair'”

“Defo recommend one very happy customer after repair to my 40 year old watch that has so much sentimental value to me,thank you so much XXX”

“I have had the best experience design my own eternity ring made from my original wedding & engagement ring. Alan worked so hard to make me this amazing, personal piece of jewellery and i can't thank him enough. From start to finish Alan kept me updated on the progress of my ring and the final product was much more beautiful than imagined. Thanks again so much Alan and your amazing team. Genna Holmes. :)”

“Fantastic night at Whittles. Its a great live music venue and highly recommended. Great night with live band Rio Gold. They are a brilliant Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran tribute. Loved it...”

“you’ll be hard pressed to find a more accommodating pub landlord in the city. the ambience is terrific as well”

“Friendly, lively atmosphere. Pleasant layout. Good selection of ales and pleased to see that there was a stout which was excellent. Not much room downstairs but more room upstairs.”

“Great local pub. Good atmosphere. Friendly customers. Great Landlord, very friendly and welcoming. Amazing girls behind the bar, always happy to serve you.”

“Strangely closed looking pub near the train station with a couple of ales on and some good crisps (Inc lancashire sauce!) The beer we had was top quality and this place is well worth a visit for the ales and plane spotting”

“Love this pub inside and out. It’s got so much history and charm. The building used to be the Manchester & Salford Children’s Mission back in Victorian times, where they ran a kitchen for kids and the homeless. Now it’s this brilliant underground pub, and you can still see the old glazed brick walls when you head downstairs, which just adds to the atmosphere. I’d love to see more of that story told inside. There are a few old photos up, but no info with them... a bit of context would make it even better. Doesn’t put me off going though, it’s still one of my favourite spots in Manchester.”

“5 stars are not enough to reflect how amazing the service was at Grade A jewellery. I had a few piece's of old broken jewellery that was no good anymore. I took them to Grade A Jewellery and they melted it all down for me and created 3 beautiful bangels. These bangels will become a family heirloom for generations to come. Thanks again! 100% recommended.”

“I came across Jools by Jenny Brown when looking for an affordable heart pendant in gold. I found one l really liked and decided to order it. Very soon afterwards l received an email thanking me for placing an order and saying how grateful they were, which was novel and heartwarming. The pendant arrived very quickly once ordered and lived up to my expectations. It is very pretty. I am very happy with my dealings with Jools by Jenny Brown, would recommend them and will take another look when l want to purchase another item of jewellery.”

“Used this place for over 40 years, always professional, polite and helpful. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, 5☆ service ☆☆☆☆☆”

“Ron was fast and reasonable with pricing.Had my anklet fixed. Thank you for awesome job!!.”

“Another time I've visited this Beaverbrooks. Ladies were very attentive and helpful, always smiling and being friendly. Popped in on my lunch break and Emma even shortened her lunch to help me after hearing I've only got 30 mins. I've lost my 10 year anniversary ring a few days before and she helped me find a replacement. All sorted very quickly.”

“Can't thank Andy enough for his help choosing our wedding rings. He explained different options and the benefits of each and it was no trouble to try (or re-try!) as many as we liked. Really happy with the service Andy provided... friendly, knowledgeable and approachable.”

“Absolutely brilliant night, first class entertainment and landlady so welcoming and helpfull everyone extremely thoughtfull and one very kind gentleman bought my wife and I a drink even though we had only just met. Lovely down to earth people can't wait to go again.”

“Thank you to John and the team for a lovely place for a wake. Nice space, good booze and a fully vegetarian buffet as requested. John was great throughout. Thank you, Danny”
