Weekend nights in Manchester

“It was my first escape room and it was really fun. Our host Sham and all the other staff was super nice and helpful. We got guided through the escape room and eventually managed to solve it with a little help. 10/10 experience would definitely recommend. We did the blackbeard's treasure room, but i'm sure the other ones are fun as well”

“From the starters to the main dish, everything was absolutely perfect! The rib eye was cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and full of flavour. Every bite was delicious, and the sides complemented the meal beautifully. The service was excellent too , Ihtsham, who served us, was an amazing host, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“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.”

“Loved the specials! Very friendly and perfect informal dining with a good vibe. Dalia was lovely and everyone very attentive.”

“It was a fantastic time we had, and the staff was ever so helpful and pleasant! Really nice atmosphere too. The meals were gorgeous, we are sure to go back soon for more!”

“Very friendly and helpful staff. We were running late for our booking and they helped delay it for when we arrived. The food was delicious and a place to definitely go to again.”

“Had lunch here with my son and daughter , very cozy restaurant and faster serving ! the chicken was amazing and the kids really enjoyed the food ! Staff were very friendly and help me to sorted my gift card with infinite patience! hide gem by the road work”

“I was delightfully surprised with this stay. The building looks a little drab outside but inside it was a delight. From the warm and friendly staff, to the welcoming lobby, our room was clean and comfortable. Our bed was big and comfortable, the shower provided good hot water and we loved the twirling water shower head. It couldn't be positioned better, in good reach of restaurants, theatre, shopping and Manchester Arena. Excellent breakfast (just not a fan of the powdery scrambled egg!) All in all, enjoyable stay and we will be back.”

“Amazing night out music was fantastic, DJ played all our requests!!!!”

“Great experience, Zizzi has always been an untraditional Italian pizzeria. Always having new dishes. The staff are really friendly and Rowan helped us a lot specially with the kids toys made my daughter forget about the wanting time of the order.”

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

“Great location to go out with family and friends. There are lots of activities where you can enjoy the evenings or the weekend.”

“Absolutely superb. What a great start to the day, from the welcome to the service & after service. I was served by a gentleman called Dillion, he really understands his customers and was exemplary in which he held himself whilst attending to his customers, from observation he anticipated customers needs and was well presented, well spoken & polite. Food was fresh and piping hot. Served with care. He and his colleagues made our visit such a lovely experience. Thank you and see you all soon.”

“Went here with my daughter who had booked us an afternoon tea. Great value and really enjoyed it. A cocktail was included in the price also and our visit coincided with perfect timing for 2 for 1 cocktails. Good location as right near to Deansgate train station. Waitress/bar staff were very helpful, friendly and attentive.”

“We had to take our cat for an emergency appointment and this place was suggested on our vet's website, since this place was open after hours, Sundays and Bank Holidays. We rang up and got told to come here as soon as we could, no appointment needed. The facilities were good. A really great idea in dividing the waiting areas for dogs and cats, so less disruption. The cat waiting area even offered blankets to cover baskets if we had a nervous cat, lovely touch. Unfortunately we had to have our cat put to sleep, but the vet that we had informed us of our options, respectful to us and our cat, and the process. He really helped us through it all and what to do next. The reception staff were all friendly, attentive and helpful.”

“Crazy cheap drink prices. Absolutely no atmosphere and the staff all seem preoccupied and disinterested but the music’s loud, there’s a great smoking area and the drinks are ridiculously cheap. Gets uncomfortably hot when busy though, which isn’t that often anymore.”

“Now this place is a real hidden gem! Me and the better half stumbled upon this place after looking for a different food place and I'm so glad we found it! We ordered the steak in a ciabatta with skin on fries. The steak was cooked to perfection along with a good amount of fried onions. The house sauce was amazing too! We highly recommend this place and the owner was so helpful. Get yourself down here at once!”

“We had wanted to try this place for a while but never got round to it. So glad we finally did as the food is amazing. Backed up by lovely friendly service. Great little restaurant and we’ve already been back twice. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

“This is my second visit to SOS Bramhall. Fantastic service & styling from Kamran. He asked me to consider clothes that I wouldn’t normally choose. Really enjoyed trying out (& purchasing) some different styles. My wardrobe has had a well-deserved refresh! I’ll definitely be back.”

“What a fabulous venue. Arriving at this huge grade 2 listed building (dead easy to reach with free parking) I felt somewhat in awe. The mill is massive, an incredible and a fascinating glimpse of history. It's a bit of a hike and a climb (although there is a lift) to get to the cinema. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The screen is fine and the projection as good as anywhere. The seats are comfortable and there is leg room. It was terrific to watch two superb old Hammer Horror films. The area has been crying out for such a cinema. I will certainly visit again. .”

“We tried A Star pizza this evening and it was great. You can tell they only use great quality ingredients, definitely the best pizza and the only place well be going from now on. Good price as well. The guys are so lovely too and made a fuss of my little boy. There's also the option to eat in if you want. Thank you!”

“I visited after many years and was so impressed! The place looks amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Great upgrades definitely worth the visit!”

“Great spot for some authentic indian food in Hale Barns. The food was amazing, especially the chicken biryani, chicken korma, and lamb Premium. Top tier customer service.”

“The burger was fresh and very delicious also the service was excellent”

“Absolutely lovely. A real find tucked away in the centre of Shoreheath. Lovely staff and great food. Perfect. x”

“Great food cooked fresh while you wait. Very clean and a great atmosphere. I have particular dietary requirements and they adapted a menu choice to suit.”

“First trip to Oldham town centre for almost 50 years! Oldham road once had pubs on almost every corner as you headed there from Manchester City Centre, many from the long gone Oldham brewery. Madge fancied a trip on the Metro and we spotted this pub in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Well worth the trip for just this corner pub. A bank of ten real ales. Great vibe plus a front pavement seating area. Madge found a new Oldham brewery..We are Wolf. Bar snacks incl sausage rolls. Great visit.”

“A wonderful pub with fantastic food. Been here a few times and it never disappoints. The owners /staff are attentive and very welcoming. They have a great variety of beers, spirits and authentic Japanese sake and gins etc and also green tea, coffee for the non beer drinkers. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. I’ve taken a few friends and family here and they’re bowled over with the food. My Japanese friend have said it’s the best tempura she has had in the UK. Looking forward to the expansion to the beer garden in the back as well.”
