Mixed drinks in Manchester

“We overall love this bar and have been coming on and off for years. We first visited many years ago before they installed air con, and our complaint then was how warm it got when busy, the adding of the air con is brilliant. In recent days, we've become regulars. Where to start with the praise? Great vibe, musicals on the screens and lovely clean toilets. Lee, the doorman, is brilliant. A model bouncer and doorman. Last year, we unfortunately had an experience with a straight man who became aggressive to us and we told the bar staff who got Lee, whom proceeded to kick him out with 0 hassle to us and made us feel safe. This is our only bad experience in 5+ years of coming here as the place is great. The cocktails are inventive, delicious and bright to look at. Their new movie night Mondays is a great initiative and their changing boards of cocktails often based on musicals that have come to the city, are brilliant. The bar staff are so smiley, pleasant and love a laugh. One remembers my order every time which is special to us to be remembered. Our only complaint now, is that they're so busy some nights we never have anywhere to sit. But we're so happy they're full and business is booming!”

“Had an amazing time here the other week, the DJ was absolutely amazing had the whole room bouncing! Guys on the door were boss and got in quick and easy, no fuss. Bar staff inside so kind and even helped me find my phone when I lost it! Would absolutely recommend anyone a night out here!”

“We booked a table following rave reviews from friends who had visited the restaurant. There were 11 of us dining and we have to say that the food has to be up there with any other Indian food we have eaten (most of the family are Indian). We will definitely be going back and highly recommend a visit. Not only was the food amazing the staff (especially the owner) are professional and friendly. A great service all around. Thank you for a wonderful evening.”

“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”

“Delicious food worth the money!”

“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!”

“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.”

“A great little bar with a good selection of changing beers on draught and an extensive selection of bottled beers which you can also drink in the bar with a small additional charge. There is some outside seating too. Well worth a visit if you are in Prestwich.”

“90 years as a shop and 20 years under current ownership (and counting!) Didn't rush anyone in the queue and really friendly. Lovely to see a family business rather than yet another chain.”

“We visited last weekend with family and friends for a birthday meal and from the moment we walked through the door, we felt genuinely welcomed – and that was entirely thanks to our waitress Nicole( I believe that was her name). She greeted us with the kind of warm, natural smile that instantly makes you feel like you’ve chosen the right place for dinner. Nicole’s service was impeccable from start to finish. She struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering, somehow anticipating what we needed before we even asked. Water glasses never dipped below half, orders were double-checked for accuracy. What impressed me most was Nicole’s genuine enthusiasm for the menu. She offered thoughtful recommendations based on our tastes and described each dish with detail – and she was spot-on every time. It’s clear she knows and loves the food here, and that passion is contagious. Beyond the technical side of service, Nicole made the evening memorable with her personable nature. She engaged with us in a way that felt friendly and sincere, not scripted. By the end of the night, we felt less like customers and more like welcomed guests. If you visit, you’re in for a treat no matter what you order – but if you’re lucky enough to have Nicole as your server, you’re guaranteed a truly exceptional dining experience. We’ll absolutely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for her by name.”

“What a place! the tables, the food, the service! All exceptional. Alex behind the bar pours the best Guiness this side of north Manchester and is always on hand for table service. Highly recommend”

“I was born and bred in Thailand and this is the best Thai fusion food you’ll ever find in Manchester - It is a little pricey but it’s well worth it for a special night out. I cannot find any Thai restaurant in Manchester that offers Kao-Soi(Northern-style curry noodles) and Sai-Oua (lemongrass and herbs sausage) on the menu! I was very impressed with how they executed both. Went twice and will return. Cocktails are nice too.”

“Great place, warm atmosphere Good service. Most of all dog friendly, with the special touch of treats at the bar area for them too.”

“Great crowd of people in here I travelled 8 miles from Bury to meet up with some friends here I certainly will be back, great pint of John Smiths”

“Nice place for a quiet drink with a great selection of craft beers and wines. They also had a really good range of wines and spirits for sale. A cosy place to sit and watch the village go by!”

“Super food, party of 6, Sunday evening, 4 had vegetarian roast, 2 had pork, faultless. And desserts good value nice size. Would definitely recommend.”

“Visited for the first time today for the burger offer. We had sausage roll and taco starters which were lovely and then I got the signature burger which was amazing. Would definitely go again”

“Fuel never disappoints me in the 5 years I've been in and out, every time I'm back in Manchester I absolutely have to visit. some food items are absolutely delicious and other merely very good (the pakoras and chips are delightful) haha the staff is always lovely and the atmosphere never fails to feel inclusive and homey. great gigs too!!”

“WOW! very impressed! Food was on point! Especially the Turkish sausage starter! The service was absolutely fantastic. Good banter from the front of house staff, they know how to help people enjoy their night! Lovely decor, really nice atmosphere. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for a lovely evening! Best Turkish restaurant we've been to!”

“Food is tasty But please please reduce the amount of oil you add to the food. Or at least ask customers if they want to have less oil in there food.”

“This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint. The welcome was warm & friendly, the service impeccable and the food was delicious. We were very hungry when we first arrived and left feeling very satisfied and happy with our whole experience. Our waitress, Katie, certainly deserves a mention as her smiley face and attentive service really made us feel welcome. I left my sunglasses there and got them back 5 days later. Would definitely recommend this place for so many reasons. We'll be back with other friends soon.”

“Amazing tea and donuts, best tea place in Oldham. Wish there was a sitting place.”

“Loved this place. We sat outside as the sun was shining and the outdoor vibe is beautiful in a lovely location. Our server was brilliant so friendly and he was very good. I had the bbq chicken pizza which was delicious, and the coffee was good too - they have a good drinks menu Cinnamon swirl was amazing too!”
