The 30 best bars with live music in Stretford

Had an amazing time here this Sunday. Love the sunday roast with its generous portions, the wagyu was delicious, though the lamb shoulder was a bit dry. The Honeycomb/Vanilla sundae with berry compote was the showstopper for me, tastes like heaven. The service by Chris was top-notch too, his smiles definitely brightened the atmosphere! Would come back again.

We booked ahead for a Sunday roast at Elnecot and it was absolutely worth it. The food was outstanding – full of flavour, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. We tried two roasts: the wagyu beef and the lamb, both served with golden roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a generous Yorkshire pudding (one of them filled with rich, melt-in-the-mouth beef shin). The meats were tender and juicy, the veg had great texture, and the gravy tied everything together perfectly. Portions were generous. We waited about 30 minutes for our plates to arrive, but given the quality and the fact it was a busy Sunday service, it felt reasonable. To top it off, they kindly offered us a beer, which was a lovely touch and added to the warm, friendly atmosphere. Two roasts with drinks came to £60 for the two of us. The setting was relaxed yet lively, making it a great spot to linger over a pint after your meal. Highly recommend booking ahead

What a night. My partner and I dined at Elnecot last night and opted for the steak and wine menu. The level of service, quality and portions were incredible. Absolutely loved this. My partner and I were new to red wine, he decided to give it a try and it was absolutely stunning. The team who work here are a credit to restaurant. Thanks again Michael and team. Especially, Emily and Emerson for the service, you had us well looked after. Can’t wait to return soon x

Had an awesome roast dinner here today - chicken - everything was top notch and high quality ingredients and I fully recommend that. Broccoli cheese is inspired! I only knock a star off because of a disappointing starter today- leek and potato soup (usually my fave soup) came very oily which was a disappointment, very thin consistency and didn't really have a distinct flavour, just tasted like an oily vegetable soup. My friend who also ordered it felt the same. But definitely have the roast dinner!

Had a fantastic full English here. Was 11/10 every part was perfect. Not hyperbole to say was one of the best I’ve had in a while. And service was super friendly as well. Will definitely be coming back!

Lovely place with a lovely atmosphere. Really reasonable price- £9 soup and sandwich combo highly recommended! It was potato and watercress soup when we came… delicious!

Loved our trip to Elnecot! Great selection of food at a reasonable price. Pork belly & courgette were the picks of the bunch!

We went for a 90s night event on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the place once in. Lots of choice of drinks and bars. Food was great from FUKU. The music even was busy and the atmosphere was great, will think about attending another night at some point.

Lovely atmosphere where street food, music, live shows all meet. Stalls with deliciously made street food from a wide range of chefs. Always looks at the website as they do live shows sometimes. Amex card holder's sometimes get VIP slots for shows. Why not give it a try for yourself.

Amazing & unique all in one entertainment and multiple restaurant complex. The food from Patterson's was some of the best that I have ever had. All the bar staff were very friendly and helpful. It's hard to describe what the place looks like as it's so unique. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely go back.

This is a cool idea, they’ve put lots of nice food places in one big area Good vibes 😎 Nice food 🥘 Plenty of selection for various drinks too 🍺🍹 There’s usually live music on too so what more could you want? 😎💚

I have been a regular at Seconds Carvery since they opened up again this year, it is under new management and they came out with a bang! There is a live DJ playing at the venue every Sunday, the atmosphere is great and very lively but you can still talk easily. The roast beef is served rare/medium rare, or you can ask for it to be cooked for longer to your preference. The Bacon loin is delicious, very juicy and the honey mustard glaze is delightful. The half roast chicken is awesome, also very juicy and the meat comes from the bones very easily. Everything was cooked to perfection! The veggie offerings have also been great, I've so far, only tried the mushroom Wellington and a curry potato pie (for science) but both were super tasty. The trimmings are all great, very fresh and great quality - the yorkshire puddings are immense and the gravy is super tasty. My favourite part is the red cabbage, it has an almost winter spiced taste and it's gorgeous! To top it off, the trimmings are unlimited! Making it great value for money. Overall, a great experience and a lovely carvery. Great to have a good carvery in the city centre!

Visited a couple of weeks ago and managed to get a booking at Ornella's. We wanted to try it for months but we can hardly find last minute tables at the one in Denton. We were seated without delays, the staff were friendly and accommodating. However, the food did not live up to the expectations. We got the fried the fried ravioli as a starter and main the rigatoni alla vodka and the oven baked shells. The starter was too oily and could not have more than a couple. The rigatoni alla vodka was not edible, the amount of alcohol was too much and the dish was bitter. Moreover, the menu was not the same as the one in Denton but more like a short version of it. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy it and was not worth our money. Freight Island was able to deliver as usual. We spent a bit of time outdoors after our meal.

Family and friends joined me at Freight Island for David Rodigan. My first time there. Fantastic atmosphere 👏 delicious 😋 food, plenty to drink 🍸 I'm/we are looking forward to returning again soon. 🎶

We visited as part of the Beyond The Music festival. Acoustics are pretty decent given the awkward long-and-thin shape of the venue and pillars that block the view. There’s stage height is good for a small venue, and probably a necessity given the room shape to allow those at the back to see the acts. There’s some bench seating at the edges and then full seating at the bar/cafe behind. Drinks are reasonable, and the atmosphere is decent resulting in a space that’s great both in the day and night

We were there for The New Christs last night. Loved it. A proper live music venue. The acoustics were superb. We travelled from Teesside. Last time we were there The Blue Orchids & The Groundhogs were playing a John Peel Festival. We managed to get parked up in Euro Park which cost us £10 and it was a 15 minute walk from there.

We have been here a few times over the years and either we pick the right shows or it is actually awesome here every night. An ideal size for a band on the rise, great sound system, nice staff and atmosphere and reasonable price for drinks and admission. Will no doubt be back in the future, pump up the volume.

Visit as a gig with three bands playing. So for me the criteria for a good night was the beer and sound stage for the metal music. All of which the venue delivered with aplomb cosy ground floor easy access setting within walking distance of train stations.

Absolutely beautiful little bar with such a friendly team and is fantastic for an intimate show. The venue has a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks if you're driving (we were) and a great selection of spirits. The coffee is seriously good as well and we will definitely be back to here again.

Great place for a beer, quick bite to eat with excellent music

Fantastic venue, famous for its love music. Saw Eric Paslay here lady night, and he didn't disappoint. Great venue. Lost a star as, for some reason, they don't sell 0% alcohol. This is the first place I've been to in a long time that doesn't. N&D, sort this out, please!!

The museum was excellent and paid for entry into the "Power Up" exhibition which all the family enjoyed as it had retro computers and consoles that brought back happy memories of our childhood and our kids loved trying those games out too but ended up playing on what they know best Minecraft. An enjoyable day to pass the time and the science and technology free exhibition was good as it had hands on exhibits. Only problem we found was trying to find parking but that might be because it was the school holidays. We would definitely visit again.

Free entry, with recommended donation of £5. Currently undergoing a big refurbish only a small part of the exhibits are currently on display. They had a good section on weaving, and a nice memorial for Stephen Hawkins. Upstairs is a hands-on science exhibit which was fun for the kids. When we visited they had a retro gaming interactive exhibit, which was an extra charge but great fun playing some older games and seeing old consoles. Worth popping in if you are nearby visiting crystal maze live for example, but don’t expect to spend more than a couple of hours in its current limited capacity.

A well organised museum charting the history of industrialisation in and around Manchester. Lots of interactive and interesting information and very much geared towards families with children. There’s a small section off the main hall on Stephen Hawkings which was fascinating! Upstairs on the first floor is full of children’s activities. Then across the square is the building that houses the steam engines! There was a very enthusiastic chap that explained the Pender engine and got the audience involved. And had a surprised brass band playing too! It’s free to enter, and they encourage you to make a donation!

The Manchester Science and Industry Museum is an absolutely fantastic place to visit, especially for families with children. One of the best parts is that entry is completely free, which makes it even more amazing considering how much there is to see and do inside. The museum is both educational and entertaining, offering a wide variety of interactive exhibits that stimulate children’s curiosity and creativity. There are hands-on activities designed to develop motor skills, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities — perfect for kids who love to explore and learn by doing. You can find fascinating displays about the Industrial Revolution, machines, technology, and even silk production, all presented in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand. The museum does a great job of connecting Manchester’s rich industrial history with modern scientific innovation. It’s also a great place for adults — the exhibits are well-organized, informative, and full of historical details about how Manchester played a key role in shaping the world of science and industry. Overall, it’s an inspiring, educational, and fun museum that truly captures the spirit of discovery. I highly recommend visiting, especially if you’re traveling with children or simply love science, technology, and history.

This Museum locates on the Liverpool Street, Manchester M3 4JP. The Museim has just finalised a partial renovation and now the main gallery is open again for visitors. It is free. It is worthwhile to spend a half- day visit, bringing with your kids. Let the kids explore the industrial development history throughout the centuries of Manchester. Here in this Museum, you can have an exhibit of the "Baby Computer" proudly invented by the scientists from the University of Manchester. In contrast with the nowadays computers, the first generation was much larger than the present user- friendly ones. The present ones are easily hand carried. The old and sizable generation ones were set up, occuping in a floor of building by a series of cabinets froming the the body of the computing compartment - containing numbers of cathodes and vacuum tubes. Now, you may feel surprised by the scientists who had made the advancement of our livings. There, you can find the printing history and its innovation. The museum displays the first typographic machine. It was used to replace the ancient workloads by hand picking up each alphebetical lead words from trays. It was a very tensive labour consumption by very complicated procedures. Manchester was once a renowned textile empire as a leader in the world. Thanks for the industrial revolution

Top Manchester attraction for all ages. Best of all it’s mostly free apart from the occasional special exhibition. Also really easy to either park outside on a metre or one of the many local car parks.

This museum is full of fascinating exhibits and clever inventions that highlight the city’s industrial legacy. From historic steam engines to hands-on science zones, there’s plenty to explore and learn. It’s fun, informative, and ideal for anyone curious about how things work.

RUBY, ALICE and all the team at Gorilla are fantastic. What a really welcoming, friendly and electric experience. We came to the City for a Gareth Emery set in the club and we had an amazing time which was partly made possibly by the experience with staff here. We came for a nosey before the gig and a quick drink in the bar area and were greeted with smiles in what was a really friendly and comfortable atmosphere. The doorstaff were all friendly enough and had some humour about them which is always a positive, and the night was an absolute belter. Visited again for breakfast the next day which was lovely and again with more cheerful and helpful staff. A venue that does it all and very well indeed. We didnt get any other names but all the staff we encountered were excellent. Thanks for a great experience and we wish your venue the best of success for the future. ❤️ ❤️🕺💃🎉🎉🎊🔉🔉

Gorilla is both a restaurant and music venue. We stayed for food, which was excellent, as was the service - thanks Ros. I'd have given it a 5⭐ review except we needed to use the accessible toilet, but it was broken. Other than that it's well worth the visit & I'd love to go again to try the Tacos. The gig venue is fantastic, well lit with an exciting animated backdrop for all the bands. Mainly standing, but there's a raised area at the back with seating for 12. If you need to sit, which we did, this was perfect. The most comfy gig I've ever been to and the only sitting gig I've not been annoyed by those around me. Amazing to see Dekaytah, Black Gold and the legendary Pitchshifter in such a cool venue.

Went with my wife to see Brigitte Calls Me Baby. Venue is great, only holds around 600 people so you're almost guaranteed a good view.

Horrible venue, bouncers are there for nothing. People could faint and genuinely get hurt because no one is breaking up mosh pits especially in that small enclosed space. People violently pushing each other and the DJ/MC dont announce on the mic that people should chill out. Honestly it's too dangerous to go and should be locked off. If you go to uni of Manchester and you were there tonight shame on you because the amount of guys especially elbowing people and just aggressively pushing people around is a joke. Bring your manners with you, just because you've left home and you're not under your parents guidance doesn't mean you can leave your home training. It's a club not a rave and not a festival, if you weren't aware you need to get to know. Hellnova presented by nova pick a better DJ who is responsible. He doesn't know how to DJ and refuses address the chaos in the crowd. Plays music he knows is going to make problems, advertised as rnb, pop and rap. But what was played was drill and rap commonly played to make mosh pits. Again it would be fine if the venue was bigger or if the other section was open but no you crammed people in there. Horrible event and in any way that I can this place/event will get reported.

I visited the music venue and not the bar. I went to watch White Lies. It was a great venue but way too crowded, uncomfortably so. People were stood in the entrance hallway as they physically couldn’t get in the venue. It was impossible to move around and get to the bar or the toilets. Security staff were getting annoyed at people being in the way although there was nowhere to move to. Other than that the sound quality was great and it’s a small enough venue that where ever you are able to squish into and stand you will have a good view.

Worst service ever. Ordered drinks which were expensive to begin with but I can get passed that, but their coke ran out of syrup making it taste like soda water, would not give any refunds or substitutes. Manager came over and started demanding we delete our pictures of them, even though we didnt take any in the first place. Awful lot, for a club night I dont recommend going.

My wife and I ate here yesterday for a Sunday roast. I had the beef, she had the chicken pie. We loved it and the staff were lovely too, we will definitely be visiting again.

There's a great soundtrack that continues to play in this place. Popped in for a quick afternoon bite on a trip into town so no live music at the time. Had the ox cheek nuggets... Damn they were good. Little explosions of tender pulled meat in crispy coating. Fries were good - hot and crispy but perhaps portion a little small for a fiver! Really friendly service! Perhaps a few more choices for draught beer wouldn't hurt. Camden Hells but not Camden Pale?! Need to come back during live music - can imagine has a great atmosphere.

Came here last year April for a late lunch with a friend. We ordered the chicken burger and cheeseburger and did halves. Both were delicious and came with a portion of fries. I really liked the interior of the restaurant too. They have live music playing most nights I believe but the night we went it was just normal music. Would visit again.

The famed London based live music venue's base in the North West. The best bit about this bar is the building fit out, it's a wonder to look at and must have cost an unbelievable amount to decorate. Judging by the setting, a lot of the features were not original but retrofitted in at fit out stage. Worth going in an having a quick look round at what they have done. This must have cost a lot! I was there on a Friday, and it was full (needed a booking). The live band were tight and very accomplished. Would say that the downside to the rather disparate layout of the venue, was it perhaps lacks a bit of atmosphere. The stage is positioned to the side where not everyone can see it and engage with the musicians... it doesn't quite have the buzz of the Camden or Old Street venues. Food menu was a bit different, more out there than other places in the City that stick to the classics. Some will love it, others may not- so check in advance if you're eating. Loads and loads of staff, very attentive. They definitely go for the upsell and can be on the pushy side of friendly (if you get me) Would perhaps recommend a week day evening - for a chill look at fit out and a relaxed drink. Then save your off the hook Fridays for somewhere a bit more pumping. Or if you want a suave and classy lounge bar vibe, there are other places in the City that cater for this a bit better.

We had a fantastic time at The Blues Kitchen Manchester! Our server Emily was absolutely wonderful — so friendly, full of energy, and really attentive throughout the evening. She even gave us the discount even though we forgot our keyring, which was so kind of her! The food and drinks were amazing too. Great vibes, great service, and such a lovely atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Niiiice! The staff was great, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere lovely, clean and very cute. The food I would give a 8: nothing bad with it and it was good! Would defo return and spend an evening with friends.

This place is just amazing ! The food and service was top tier. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning when I'm back in Manchester ! Both ordered the peppers ,vegan curry and vegan chocolate mouse which were all amazing. Well done !

What a great place! Every table was taken, so shows its popularity. Even though it was busy it was well staffed and run really well by attentive and friendly staff . The decor and the feel of the place was a definite vibe. We ate there but there was also seating at the front for drinks only. The food was nice enough. ( We had chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger)No complaints. Would definitely recommend and would return as we just loved the feel of the place. We weren’t there when the live music was on but there was a stage where they regularly have people playing.

Visited yesterday evening (Fri) - we booked a table for 2, arrived and nobody greeted us, we had to ask over the food serving area where the chef told us we could sit wherever we liked. No wait staff - nobody offered us a menu, I decided to order at the bar and asked for drinks. Ordered 2 wines, they gave us dirty glasses. Decided against ordering food and left shortly afterwards. Very poor service and atmosphere was awkward - staff having a meeting in the corner, no hosts to greet on arrival for table bookings, no menus and the tables were all sticky. Will not be returning.

Amazing comfort food with unique flavours in a warm and inviting eatery. I had never considered Indian and Mexican/Latin combo before but the Bhuna Burrito has changed all that - definitely a must try for a quick, aromatic and soul food meal.

Amazing experience. Legendary service from the chooms behind the bar.

Me and my partner could not wait to try the restaurant that had come highly recommended to us. After spending an hour getting into town for our 7pm booking, we were absolutely appalled to find out that it was shut despite accepting our booking, no one had the courtesy to let us know they were shut.

The vibe here is good (can be loud if a party table is in) and is a nice place to spend an evening. No table service is disappointing but at least you can set up a tab alternatively order from the app. The staff all dress like everyone else so it's difficult to know who to approach. Having been to Mexico city and expirenced the street food I can say the Tacos are tasty and authentic. My biggest gripe is the price - portion ratio. Not good. I felt cheated and honestly could have eaten double and still been hungry. See picture. All that said if you are hungry during a beer session this might be enough if you've eaten already. Remember to order more than you think you can eat.😀

Ok, can we start by saying it is the best chicken tacos in the city if not in the UK. True corn tortillas, coriander, lime and all the good stuff. The food was great all throughout, we took tacos, totopos, pardon peppers and quesadillas. The Paloma Anderson cocktail was lovely and refreshing. To top it all we had to order a second dose of the tacos. Love the atmosphere, selection of beers and the service. How come we haven't been here before? Ohhh and it is not only dog friendly, Hertzel got treats before the humans. ❤️❤️❤️

Hidden gem in the middle of Manchester, have been a couple of times and the food is amazing! Really good Mexican food, you must get the tacos! Have a load of beers on tap and the service is friendly. Great music on and I love going here! Toilets are small but clean. The decor is great and I love the energy in here, always buzzing!

Went here for a gig. Turned out to be great. Really good place, I really like when historical buildings can be used for something else. Some good architectural features if you look for them. I’d definitely return to see more bands here.

This was my first visit, and I was really impressed. It’s an awesome, intimate venue for live music. Wherever you stand you can see the stage. The sound was great and the building has character. If you’ve get the chance to go you should

A lovely, small venue for gigs. Great sound and a good view from all areas of the room, including a tiered section at the back of the room and a small balcony to the side. They have a nice selection of drinks too.

Went to see My Baby gig. What an amazing venue! Intimate and fantastic interior. My only down point was the drinks prices I felt were very expensive. But loved the gig and the venue with fab sound system 👌 bar staff were lovely also 😊

Great place for a gig. Mostly standing, but a number of seats sloping up at the back for those who struggle standing for three hours. The sound quality is good. Decent bar, expensive, but so are most bars in Manchester. I like this place.

Was in the mosh pit but got kicked by hardcore fam They should’ve have got removed I’ve spoken to the hardcore fan no trouble at all Great venue tho

If you may get overcharged or a mistaken order make sure you are vigilant. Sadly I did, furthermore the bar staff overlooked it and went with it. I was then charged inconsistent amount leading to the finding. Apart from the above, great venue and alright prices. It just a shame that the bar staff made a mistake (and swept rather then admits)

Firmly alright - it feels like this place is caught between wanting to be a restaurant and a trendy student hangout at the same time. The atmosphere is fun, but the music's a bit loud and it feels kind of like a bar. The food is okay, but a bit underwhelming - the pairing of crispy fried foods with liquids and broths is a bit baffling when it, unsurprisingly, results in soggy batter, though I'm not versed enough in Vietnamese cuisine to know if that's the restaurant's problem or just an element of Vietnamese food I don't happen to love.

I had a day trip to Manchester for the Christmas market and thought I'd check this place out for their espresso martini, well it took a little time to walk from the centre so I grabbed a bite to eat too. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, gave a great recommendation for the belly pork bao buns and fetched the cocktail master to make my martini. Food was absolutely delicious, belly pork was crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside, toppings were fresh and the sauce was an amazing addition. Martini espresso was smooth and tasty, no complaints whatsoever!

A small entry door and looks like a bar more than a restaurant so easy to miss the entrance. Inside decoration is very nice. A number of choices on Vietnamese cuisine, all are very signature and famous names, including Pho and Spring Rolls. A little bit spicy but not too much, beef is fresh and juice which I personally recommend over chicken, even though I order a mix one. Good for a quick meal, from order to finish the whole meal with bill paid, just 30 minutes. I am not sure it will be a bar or not at night, as I am just here for lunch.

Great food & good vibe Service is friendly but long. Took 30min+ for any starters or drinks to arrive on a Thursday night. Although, can see the staff busy, perhaps more staff? Food did really make up for it though - the duck fried rice was really good would recommend. Slightly overpriced but you’d expect that in the area. Shame the wait let it down.

Had a fabulous Sunday dinner here. A bit of a roast with a difference, I had the roast pork belly with roast potatoes and veg , with a salad on the side which sounds strange but was absolutely beautiful. Wasn't that keen on the savoury doughnut (suppose it's a Yorkshire replacement) The service was great and it was nice and cool there.

Cosy and (like Wednesday's bar) simply decorated bar, a warm refuge on a rainy day. (Thank you, Storm Eunice). Polite service and extremely tasty food. Fresh ingredients - the mint and spring onions were particularly sharp. Not as much fresh coriander as I'd like (which is the draw for me with Vietnamese food), but I also recognise that not everyone enjoys the same quantities of coriander as I do. A pretty good vegetarian/vegan range of alternatives to the meat and seafood offer. A nice spot.

Love this place! Amazing, authentic food, prices are reasonable. Service is good. Outdoor and indoor tables. The place and the toilets are clean. We ordered two starters and some prawn crackers and mains but the starters took a while to come. We thought at least they would send the prawn crackers straight away. The peanut dipping sauce was incredible. All the food is freshly made. The portions are good. I had to take some home with me. Definitely a place we will visit again and again.

First time in Manchester, spotted this place right beside my hostel, decided to give it a go. I had a RIDICULOUSLY good avocado and toast. I went back again the next day for breakfast and had the best veggie/vegan breakfast I've ever had!!! ...so good that I even bought one of their t-shirts! I highly recommend checking it out!!

Great cafe/bar fantastic food and a great vibe all the staff made me feel really welcome and even help me pick out records when I clearly didn’t have a clue what I was looking for you guys rock thank you so much what a great team 💚💚💚💚💚💚

Whilst at this venue an incident happened where a man was being very hands on and was making me feel extremely uncomfortable whilst queuing for my drink. As I walked away to find my friends the bartender, Isla, came and found me and asked if I knew the man and if I was okay. I explained the situation and the bouncer came in and immediately removed him. I don’t think this situation could have been handled better by all members of staff involved and I just wanted to say thank you to both of them for making me feel safe and allowing me to enjoy the rest of my night. I would definitely recommend:)

Been for coffee multiple times and always so pleased! It always tastes amazing! I’m usually served by a man and he’s always so nice and quick.

I didn’t like the way the girl who served me the beer treated me. When she came to take my order, she just looked at me—didn’t even ask what I wanted. I told her what I wanted, and she made a dismissive noise with her mouth. Then she served the beer without even making eye contact. She kept talking to someone else while I paid with my card, and she didn’t even say thank you or acknowledge me in any way. It really felt like she didn’t want to serve me. I honestly didn’t like the service at all. They should seriously consider replacing this girl. You need staff who are friendly and actually like their job—or give the opportunity to someone who does. By the way, the girl I’m talking about is the one in the photo.

Absolutely disgusting staff and manager. I simply asked for the fruit to be picked up and put in my drink with pinchers opposed to being scooped up by hands (dirty ones at that). This is standard hygiene standards , which I rely upon with a comprised immune system, but I was called every name under the sun by both the bar member and the supposed manager. I walked out and left the drinks to be followed by a a security guy trying to intimidate me. Sorry but it didn't work, you just added to the absolute joke To add, the same bar member shouted at the guy next to me for asking for tissue to wipe his table!

Great chilled out atmosphere and vibe! ✌️😎

Always been there for a good walk , there is a whole range of Coffee shops , nice and clean

They've reinstated the licence fee for the elderly and now they've removed the lottery results from their text service which after all is important news. They pay mediocre celebrities millions. They're building their own funeral pyre. They don't deserve to survive.

I’m in support of freedom of speech. The Beeb needs to get their act together. MOTD cut to 20 minutes? Pathetic.

Grew up in Gorse Hill Stretford 61-77 still have so many good memories so still like to keep my hand on the pulse of the place that changed the world in so many ways.

The centre for CBBC and BBC sports ,the local radio station are all here. Quay house is where I have most experience.

Very good channel world wide best channel for news and updates hourly very good

What a place❤️❤️

The breakfast here is gorgeous. My friend also had the vegetarian option and they were really happy with their food. Great atmosphere. Would recommend.

The building has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were welcoming and polite throughout mine and my friend's visit. The food is pricey, with our total bill for 2 meals, 2 desserts, and 2 drinks coming to just over £80 (inc. service fee) but the price is reflected in the quality. The mains were ordered were the salmon feta bagel, and the steak frittes, and for dessert we got both a slice of the honey cake and cheesecake. All the food was wonderful, and the crisp apple draught cider was genuinely the nicest cider I've ever had, and cider is my go-to for a drink with a meal. Wonderful experience overall. My only complaint would be having the 12.5% tip being put on the bill by default, as tips shouldn't be an expectation but rather a courtesy to show valued service. I intended on tipping but having it as a default isn't a practice I like, especially when anxious people won't be willing to confront or question it. Would definitely come again

We wanted breakfast and whilst the selection was average one of use could sub some of items so end up wasting food. Seating was shocking but since we were in they have redone boths. Service was average

Looked at the menu online before heading here. Was then puzzled at the menu given to us which had little resemblance to online. Still found something to eat. Rola cola on tap and cheap juice. Very sticky flooring everywhere. Food came and wife discovered a hair just as waitress was passing. They asked "omg have you just found a hair?" Followed by a not so reassuring "Im so sorry but nobody in the kitchen has hair". Nothing else mentioned. Oh and the automatically add a 12.5% service charge and whilst i gave the same waitress the chance to recall we discovered a hair, they had seemingly forgotten it and i just pointed it out on our table again as a parting gift. Very hipster attitude and not good customer service at all

Came for drinks on a Friday night. After seeing the dj vaping behind the console I thought it’s okay to vape inside and so I did (once)- 2 seconds later the security guy (that stood next to the dj the whole night) came running over and said I can’t vape- fair enough. I said okay and explained to him why I thought it’s fine & it’s a simple mistake, after what he just said “if you vape I will kick you out” in a very rude manner and was staring the whole night to make sure I’m not vaping lmao security needs to sort their anger issues, it could have been handled politely :) Over all just an average pub so spare yourself being uncomfortable because of intense and rude security running after people

Didn't find the staff that friendly. But the food was good and fairly priced.

Great atmosphere! Very nice staff! Went for halloween and everyone was dressed up and they had new cocktails for the festive season! Loved!

After an Indian Affair Shaslic fancied a Guinness. Our first ever visit here. Oddly we are 50 years older than the target clientel but the music was also 50 years old! I was surprised how much I enjoyed this bar. Quiet on our afternoon visit. Enjoyed my pint. Good cider for Shaslic.

Jimmy's hosted my 30th birthday free of charge/no minimum spend- I'm blown away by the generosity and attentiveness. Everything was perfect- food, drinks, staff, set up. The atmosphere was great and felt like such a cool place to have a party. We had an amazing time and made some great memories. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much!

We visit very often. Great prawn platter, great seafood platter. I have not really tried the meat here so I cannot comment. Service is great, very attentive and friendly. Food arrives rather quickly. The only downside is that your clothes might smell like fish because the ventilation is not great

Fab place for a hangout or social with friends. Really loved the Wholesome Junkies Vegan food 😋 & the drinks selection was good too. Very musical, lively & lots of fun.

Went to this venue on a Wednesday night with a work colleague and was a little disappointed with the place. They didn’t know how to pour a Guinness - see photo - it really threw out my split the G technique. There wasn’t many people there but I guess it was a Wednesday. They did let us put our own music on which was nice of them but didn’t make up for the lack of atmosphere and bad pouring. On reflection, maybe it was our music that was keeping the crowds away…

What an amazing place. Really friendly team, plenty of drinks options and the food is really good too. Based in the heart of Ancoats this is a must for anyone looking for somewhere to grab a nice drink and a bite to eat with friends in Ancoats. Really chilled atmosphere with plenty of outdoor seating for those sunnier afternoons too.

A real shame this place can't get a license for live music - although the music on the speakers was good. But that aside, great vibes and interior. The honeycomb IPA is to die for. I recommended giving this place a visit

An attractive building from the outside, and small bar area at the front with seating round the back. There seemed a good selection of beers/ ales, but £6.80 for an average pint of Guinness was a little harsh. Great venue for live music however, and enjoy the fact they offer small bands/ musicians a place to play.

A Manchester institution... though one of many. Well kept Robinsons real ales provide a familiar welcome on a rare return to the city. A young crowd on a late Monday evening.

Great traditional venue with good music. Small rooms for music so booking essential. Push to the front, rather than hanging at the back, there is always room close to the stage. Watch out for the mosh pit. Staff in the Castle are lovely, as are the patrons.

Fantastic pub with a long history dating back to 1776. Attractive tiled bar and has a couple of rooms and a very small outside yard with a few seats. We'll known as a lively music venue giving local talent an opportunity to perform. Excellent cask ales. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

This is 100% a music pub, if there isn't a band on there's something playing in the background, which was quite fun when you can hear the guys in the taproom singing this charming man. . Personally i don't think the beer range was too good but they were all on form and very drinkable . This is a very friendly and welcoming place for a beer and i would defiantly go back,All in all not bad at all.

Absolutely cracking wee pub. Selection of ales and not a bad guiness. Staff were really nice. Would loved to have been there when there was a live band playing. Really cool old juke box to enjoy a good tune or two. Will be back next time in Manchester.

Drove a good distance to see a live band , ended up seeing 3 Split Frenz, New disorder, and last but not least , Enuma Elish , small back room, good atmosphere and great sound, staff were awesome, highly recommended , I'll try to add some video footage at a later date 😊

Albert's Schloss brings a real taste of Oktoberfest to Manchester, and it's hard not to get swept up in the lively yet relaxed atmosphere. We went in the evening and the place was absolutely buzzing with people - it felt festive without being overwhelming. The live performance kicked off around 8pm, adding great energy to the night and making it feel more like an event than just dinner. Food-wise, we shared a platter for four that came piled high with pork knuckles, a variety of sausages, schnitzels, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and sauerkraut. The portion was generous and everything was cooked really well - hearty, comforting food that suited the setting perfectly. Drinks were another highlight, with an extensive selection of beers, wines, and cocktails to choose from. The beer in particular was spot on for the theme. Overall, Albert's Schloss is a great choice if you're after good food, plenty to drink, and a lively night out with a Bavarian twist.

Albert’s Schloss in Manchester never disappoints. I visited on 24th August for Sunday lunch with my Nan, Aunt and two friends for a birthday celebration, and, as usual, it was beautiful. The portions are generous, the pork knuckle was so huge it was impossible to finish, and all the accompaniments were cooked to perfection. From start to finish, the food and service were amazing. I especially want to highlight our waitress, who went absolutely above and beyond when my friend was taken ill and had to leave dinner early. She was outstanding and really tried to make everything better. A huge thank you to her and kudos to the staff. 🙏🏻

​Having recently fallen in love with the food, drink, and atmosphere of Bavaria itself, I was lucky enough to stumble across this restaurant in Manchester via Google Maps. My timing must have been perfect, as the Oktoberfest specials were still running. I must emphasize that this was, without question, the best meal I have ever had at any restaurant, ever. ​The moment I approached, the curb appeal filled me with confidence. The place looked as though it had been lifted straight out of Bavaria and perfectly placed in Manchester. Upon entry, I was blown away. The interior featured a nicely laid-out dining area to the left, a cozy open fire with surrounding seating directly ahead, and large, long wooden tables and benches to the right, all backed by an impressive bar stocked with real German draft beers and a separate cocktail bar to the left. The setting was truly stunning. ​I was seated in a booth and immediately ordered the Schweinshaxe—the Crispy Bavarian roasted pork knuckle. The menu described it perfectly: "brined for 12 hours before being rubbed in spices and roasted for 3 hours. Served with braised red cabbage and apple and a rich red wine gravy." I paired it with a real Bavarian Weißbier (wheat beer), it was simply divine. The pork nuckle was huge and mainly meat which was fork tender and not too fatty, it had the most perfect crackling too. The braised red cabbage and red wine gravy paid beautifully and cut through the richness of the meat, all that for £19.50. This dish is too good to be seasonal; they absolutely need to add it to the menu all year round! ​The staff were brilliant throughout the meal. I was served by Alexandro, who was exceptionally polite and attentive. The combination of incredible food, authentic atmosphere, and excellent service made for an unforgettable dining experience

Had a great night out! The food was spot on, and the drinks were perfect—definitely no complaints there. The team really made the experience special with their warm welcomes and checking in on us throughout the night. Only downside was the music was a bit too loud to have a decent chat, but everything else was a solid 10/10. Looking forward to coming back!

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!

We visited for a birthday lunch, joined by my wife and daughter. We ordered three drinks – a Long Island Iced Tea, a Virgin Mojito, and a Forest Fruit Sour – all of which were well presented and enjoyable. For food, we had the Schweinshaxe, Schnitzel Cordon Bleu, and Mushroom & Spinach Mafalde. The Schweinshaxe came with a side of sauerkraut which was slightly on the sweet side – quite different from what I’ve had in Germany. While the sweetness might have been intended to balance the richness of the pork knuckle, it didn’t quite cut through the fattiness as expected. The crackling was perfectly crisp and the fatty layer underneath was soft and flavourful, but the lean meat was a little overcooked and therefore slightly tough. The Schnitzel Cordon Bleu was nicely prepared overall, though the texture of the meat was on the firm side – perhaps due to the cut used. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Mushroom & Spinach Mafalde. The pasta had a delightful chewiness, and the sauce was rich, creamy and full of flavour. Overall, the food was quite good, though the seasoning leaned a little heavy for my taste. The service, however, was excellent – Greg was polite, friendly and had a great sense of humour, and the other male waiter, though he didn’t mention his name, was equally courteous.

Had a fantastic experience here tonight. One of my favourite dishes when I go to Germany is Schweinhaxe. As it is Oktoberfest season, this was on the menu as a special... so I had to didnt I? Started with a warm pretzel served with a sweet sticky mustard sauce and pickled sliced cucumber. Delish!!! I ordered the afore mentioned main with roasted potatoes. I didn't really need them, as the portion was huge, but they were also delicious as was the spiced red cabbage the knuckle sat on. Tender pork with crunchy and chewy crackling, all washed down with superb beer. A grand meal! I hadnt booked, but was accommodated with my dog. Overall, a great atmosphere, beer and food. But what was OUTSTANDING was the service from Afi, my server, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. Great service makes such a difference. I wont hesitate to return when I'm next in Manchester!

What an amazing venue. Where do I start. Came to see the wonderful and talented Sophie B Hawkins. She didn't disappoint, nor did the girls supporting her. The music was in the intimate pink room, good sound. This place has it all, roof top bar and an outside beer garden. A bar on every floor, and also serve top notch vegan & vegetarian food. Pizza and Fries were yummy. Staff are so friendly. Came for the gig, and I will return for the venue. Loved it.

The music played last night created an exciting atmosphere for all in attendance. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves with the bands performing on stage. It was also appreciated that the drinks were reasonably priced. The overall vibe contributed to an enjoyable experience during the evening. Overall, it was a great night.

Wow what a great venue. Upstairs you have cocktails, fresh pizza and bouquets of chips served until late with plenty of seated areas. Then downstairs is an intimate stage area with aircon. Loved how shelves run along the sides so you can prop your drink while boogying . This is my sort of venue anyway very intimate.

Loved this place and the view right next to it (see pic). The roofterrace is such a gem and really unique. The long drinks were very affordable. And the toilets immaculate!! What more do you want?

I really liked it here, the staff were good and the show we saw was excellent, so good for an intimate performance. But, in the basement, the beer was warm. I mentioned it and no one really seemed to care. It's kind of basic stuff. If someone came to my house and I gave them a warm beer I'd be pretty embarrassed about it. Fix your cooling system and you're smashing it.

Beautiful venue, from the decor to the pink room and the rooftop space. Only bad experience I've had was last night with one of the staff members working at the pizza joint - he was incredibly rude and spoke to me in a very condescending manner.

The Pink Room at Yes is an absolute gem of a venue — small, intimate, and full of character. The setting creates a real sense of connection between the audience and the performers, making every gig feel personal and immersive. The acoustics are surprisingly good for such a compact space, with sound that’s clear, rich, and perfectly balanced. You can feel every note and lyric resonate around the room. It’s the kind of place where you can really lose yourself in the music — no massive crowds, no distractions, just pure atmosphere. If you love live music in a close, vibrant setting, The Pink Room is definitely worth a visit.

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.

An Unforgettable Jazz Experience! What a fantastic show! The performance by this talented Jazz ensemble was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first note, they had the entire audience captivated. Each musician brought their own unique energy and skill to the stage, blending seamlessly to create a soulful, vibrant, and deeply moving performance. The improvisation was masterful, the rhythm tight, and the solos—absolutely stunning. You could feel the passion and joy in every piece they played. It wasn’t just a concert—it was an experience. The chemistry between the performers was palpable, and their love for the music truly shone through. Thank you for such a memorable evening. This was Jazz at its finest, and I can’t wait to see them perform again!

Two rooms to watch artists from. Big rooms that can fit quite a number of people. Loved the place and the vibe. Didn’t quite like the difficulty in getting a drink. I stood at the bar for a good 20-30 minutes. I probably wouldn’t have gotten a drink if I didn’t have my friends with me and we blocked off a little area in the bar for the bartender to notice us. Definitely understaffed on weekends.

Black Uhuru were well on top form, it really was a fantastic gig & the venue is great too, small & intimate & so much better than the big arenas, it makes you feel like you’re really part of something. I can’t recommend the venue enough & I’ll look out for more gigs there. Thank you for a great night

Great venue, great vibe and a great intimate venue. Loved it 😎 Saw Eek a mouse there last night..absolutely brilliant night ❤️

Just watched the amazing We call it Jazz. Brilliant please go see these talented musicians and beautiful vocalist. Highly recommended to anyone who loves live music.

Excellent music venue. Lovely staff, great beer!

We held our wedding ceremony this weekend at The Arches above Barca. Events manager Eilish looked after us from the day I enquired all the way through to the wedding day, and we had the most beautiful wedding. Thank you to the whole team for helping us make it perfect ♥️

Came here for a pre gig drink. Staff were rude despite it not even being that busy. £18.90 for a pint of Guinness and one Aperol Spritz, both served in plastic cups. More fool me for paying it. Would not rush back or recommend to anyone.

Went on a Thursday evening and it was totally dead. Yet the staff were still somehow very slow. There is a small amount of seating inside downstairs, but it was dark and dinghy with a strong smell of urine. Sitting outside was pleasant, with lots of options. Looks like there is a balcony you can sit on upstairs, but this was closed on the day. Drink prices £6-8 around what you’d expect.

What a grotty place. I remember when this place first opened. I don’t know when it went downhill, but the bar has no charm about it, with just a large standing area by the bar and barely any indoor seating. Everything felt worn out and dirty. This was especially true of the toilets, where half of the men’s urinals were either broken or out of action, damaged cubicle doors and toilet paper dispensers, and worn out washing facilities. Considering how pleasant the nearby Dukes and Wharf are, this place is in desperate need of renovation. Maybe the first floor area is OK (looking at the photos), but the rest of it is dismal.

Service always slow and rude. Beers often run out and are expensive. Dirty furniture, toilets and general bar area. Decor needs a serious update and renovation. Loads of furniture and rubbish out the back of Barca which is a massive eye sore for the area. And they play loud obnoxious music often during unsociable hours which disturbs the peace around the canal where many residents live. Total failure of a bar which is a shameful waste of a great canal location. Don't bother going here, go to the Wharf instead👍

It was a retirement party for a friend and former work colleague. There was no food arranged and a constant queue for th.e bar. Extremely loud, as a person with hearing problems, found it impossible to converse, or pick out the music. I'm certain if I was 28, instead of my real age 78, I'd enjoy it! It's not for pensioners

Atmosphere was lovely, beautiful spot for inside and outside seating, reasonable prices. Served by a lad named George and he was so helpful and polite. Will come again.

Got brought here by a friend because he said it was dark and moody and did a hard martini. Roo looked after us for hours and made each drink to perfection. Roo, your vodka martinis with a lime twist made the gays very happy god bless you (ps Jack is hot)

what an amazing little bar, we were seated quickly with water on arrival, the young girl working (at around 5pm today) was very kind and happy to explain the menu and checked on us multiple times to check if everything was okay and if we would like more drinks, i would definitely return and the cocktails were delicious (-:

Nice little cocktail bar. No booming music. Watched the bartender make what looked and tasted like a very practiced old fashioned. Fab

The atmosphere is so nice! Candle lit, light music, and good cocktails (2-for-1 for £12). Xenia was really friendly and welcoming! Would recommend

Came here with a friend for a few martinis as I have been here before and I love the lighting! We were served drinks by the lovely Roo who was marvellous. So approachable and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back! X

Great espresso martinis. Good service as they automatically bring you water and menus as you sit down. Lovely atmosphere and decor and interesting cocktail menu.

Delicious cocktails and waitress was helpful with what to choose. Is a bit more on the pricey side but was nice for a treat for a friends birthday

I was dealt with a bouncer who identified himself as "King" Initially I didn't have my id I am 31. I went home and got it. Despite me showing my ID and my ticket multiple times by 12.28 Mr King said "I don't care who you are I won't let you in" Shame I was only hoping to have a good time. Went G.A.Y. Instead

I am extremely disappointed with the service at this club. On Monday 15th September around 3AM, I dropped my phone behind the DJ set (between the wall and the equipment). Since then, I have called, emailed, and even visited the club multiple times to resolve the issue, but staff have been dismissive and unhelpful. A customer’s belongings should never be treated as unimportant. The complete lack of communication, urgency, or professionalism from the staff is unacceptable. I expected at the very least a reply or some effort to help retrieve my property. Very poor service and I would strongly advise others to be cautious about leaving personal belongings here, as you cannot rely on the staff for help.

The lady who stamps people was very aggressive and shouldn’t be working in an environment where you have to interact with customers. She was a blonde young lady who needs to understand she’s working in customer service where she has no right to be so rude and aggressive. I entered 11.10.25 but she put me whole group off so we left.

Bouncers here are awful, rude, and are all on a power trip. They need to be fired and replaced. Confiscated my prescription medication for not having the physical prescription on me, and refused to give it back. Shouldn’t they be focused on looking for weapons? Not inspecting every item you bring in with you? Don’t go here, there are plenty of better spots around. I tried to have a discussion with one of them but he got upset and approached me very aggressively. He proceeded to follow me down the street. The audacity to pursue a customer in that way is unbelievable. Wish I had gotten his name

I went 25/10 for day clubbers event and all I can say is the toilets was absolutely disgusting they looked and smelt like they hadn't been cleaned from the night before you could smell them before you even got to them I know public toilets arnt always the best bit these was something else you need to do better .

The bouncers are an absolute joke it’s not even funny. Idek how they are still employed at this club 😂over 100 bad reviews about them!. Wasn’t even let in the club my friend had my ticket on his phone and my phone was dead, the bouncer let the group I was with in but made me get out the queue just because I couldn’t prove I was with them. Pretty much got left stranded for no actual reason do NOT recommend

BOUNCERS NEED SACKING I decided to visit here for the first time on friday night for halloween the line was an hour wait for half my friend group to be refused entry because they were ‘too drunk’ no one had any alcohol whatsoever the club was packed and as i was leaving i seen a young lad no older then 18 getting brutally beaten unconscious surrounded by around 8 bouncers, getting assaulted by multiple i’ll be suprised if he’s still breathing i’ve also heard numerous stories from pretty much everyone i know who’s been here so unless you wanna be sat/stood on an beaten half to death by the bully bouncers or turned down for no reason then don’t come here need there badges taking don’t know how this place is still going.

Lli was lucky enough to be a patron of this amazing pub, best in Manchester by far. Great beer, staff & ambience. The Eagle inn is a "must visit" stop on any visit to Manchester. Easy to find too. 💯 Recomended & an easy 5 🤩

Love it! Small but perfectly formed. Old style boozer with a twist. The cute live venue attached is perfect for an intimate style gig. The bar has a good selection of drinks, staff lovely, board games available in the lounge, outside seating when the Salford weather allows. I love the vibe and the aesthetic too. It's all being built up in the surrounding area, with glass towers and apartment blocks and then this little gem in the middle. Just brilliant

Lovely boozer. Probably my favourite in the area. That Chloe lass is an absolute ray of sunshine. Ee by gum I’ll be hoping for a pint poured by her again Sincerely Alan

Great little venue for up and coming bands. Great sound. Me and my partner really enjoyed the night and the atmosphere

Another one of the thoroughly classic Holts pubs still standing and so close to Manchester city centre. Business as usual whilst the surrounding area is totally redeveloped. Great bar staff and super friendly regulars make this pub a pleasure to drink in. Regular entry in the Good Beer Guide.

Great vibes and atmosphere, especially with their back terrace. A bit tricky to order as the bar has 2 separate entrances so you don’t really know where to queue, but the staff was friendly and let us enjoy our beers even after the official closing time, would definitely go back!

Great venue, great atmosphere, good selection of beer

What a place! What a night! There’s something truly unique about the White Hotel — raw, electric, and unforgettable. The iconic cross in the middle of the dancefloor gave it an almost sacred energy (French speakers will get the “White Altar” joke…). Coming all the way from Paris was definitely worth it. Hope to be back soon!

Never been here before, but I'd go again in a heartbeat, very quirky, the sound was excellent and the gig was top notch. Loved it.

Great intimate venue with a friendly vibe. Never had a bad night here! Solid live acts and electronic nights. It's nicely tucked away too. So you can slope off in the morning light without anyone noticing your swinging jaw. 😂 Bonus! If you can find this pic Google will send you a free Sharpie!

Appalling treatment from security at 6:00am, 5 October. After sitting briefly to rest, a security guard ordered me to stand so he could take the seat. He was abrupt, didn’t ask politely, and as I moved he taunted “go cry.” I’ve been coming to The White Hotel for 5+ years and have never experienced behaviour this unprofessional. It reflects very poorly on the venue’s standards and vetting of staff. I hope management review CCTV, identify the guard on duty at that time, and take action and retrain their team on basic respect and customer care. I was given permission to take a stool from security in the first place - what a childish cohort of security you employ.

The most incredible, quirky, personal and arty music venue. Cheap drinks too. Saw Bodega and Regressive Left play in this rough and ready ex-car garage. One of the best gigs I've ever been to, only wish I didn't live so far away!

Usually one of the best venues in Manchester, however recently the managing of events has been on a steep decline. Overselling tickets to events, with ticket holders having to wait outside due to the apparent one in one out policy, yet this is not stated anywhere on the website, even when ticket holders are in the queue way before the ticket entry deadline. No explanation and pure confusion in the crowd. Shoving and annoyed people, with staff providing little/no communication. Recent experiences have really swayed my opinion of the club, and from talking to people around me in the queue - which I was in for well over an hour despite all being ticket holders- these opinions are shared. Really disappointing.

I love this place. It is on an industrial estate & at first felt a bit nervous. Boy was i wrong. It's safe. The staff & audience were fabulous & inviting. It's not just art or music. It's an experience that enhances the music. I'd definitely go again.

Went in for a drink on a random weekday evening as we'd heard good things. Hardly anyone in there, sadly a sign of the times. Vibe is lush, decor is a 60's/70's mashup with music to match, although some of the seats were old and not comfy. Service was quick and friendly with a great range of drinks and not just the mainstream fluff. Has pool tables!!! Although you guys need to sort that door out - it's freezing!

Very cool bar with awesome music. Sometimes allows dancing on the weekend, if the crowd is right. Pool table too but often in use by locals. Friendly crowd, nice staff, great DJs. Toilets upstairs.

Finally got to go to this place and it was so good. Great vibe and decor, punchy system and really good beers. Loved playing there and I can't wait to go back.

This is one of those little gems that often gets missed out. With great staff, friendly locals and D.J's on at the weekend. It also has a pool table and separate darts room, makes this one of those places that it you go once, you will go again.

Nice quirky pub in what was once a bank. Has a pool table and a good selection of drinks. Occasionally has live music and DJs. Dog friendly.

Excellent craft beer bar in Stretford, with a decent selection of beers. Very relaxing atmosphere, and I definitely recommend a visit should you be in the area.

The kind of place that just makes you feel at ease straight away! They serve a decent pint of real ale." Timothy Taylors Landlord " was one of the two on offer and it was almost as good as the pints I served during my " Landlord " days...! Oh.. did I mention the music.. a cracking set of tunes were played and I " Shazamed " a few. We will be going there again and I'll add a star rating once we've tried the food.. There's a pool table too!

Very busy corner and so people watching was fab. No booking required but advised. Great range of hand crafted cocktails and very good quality. Excellent customer service with friendly staff and mixologists who are great at their profession.

the best customer service I have experienced ever! staffs in the bar were so kind and brilliant. great experiences of various house cocktails and customised classical cocktails i have asked for though they do not have it on the menu🥰

Simply one of the best cocktail places on Manchester if not the UK with a relaxed vibe throughout and food till 9pm. Staff are super knowledgeable and super friendly to newbies l

Lovely cocktail bar and atmosphere. The drinks here are great and if you ever want to try something different, the bartenders are really knowledgeable and can make great recommendations. We've been back to this place a few times and it's a lovely experience every time.

Nice cocktails, lots of choice. Staff were attentive and the decor was cute, but not the most comfortable of seats. Seated by the windows on a fabric chair - I'm 6ft 2 so it doesn't help but felt rather low down giving knee pain. (Can't really expect you to account for that).

Great place that caught my attention not only because they make amazing cocktails but also because the atmosphere between staff members is evidently good which makes the bar more friendly for customers. Also, liked their system for ordering/ask for bill: smart and efficient.

Enjoyable atmosphere, extensive cocktail options and saddening food. Returned for some drinks last Friday evening. The bar was busy, but we got a seat rather quickly. The cocktails were lovely. However, we did not get the usual description of the cocktail, possibly because of the busy night. Made the grave mistake of ordering a cheese platter that was at best disappointing. I have previously tasted the crafty cheesemen cheeses and I highly doubt this was what we were served. From a £12 platter I did not expect Jacob’s crackers and sad Parmesan. I understand crockery is not primordial, but please consider having plates that accommodate for the size of your tables. We will be returning for the cocktails as I still have some on my list to try, but I will unquestionably avoid any food.

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.

We had the Sunday tasting menu and had our 4 month old baby with us. The food was delicious and the service was brilliant. They made us feel so welcome and accommodated us having the pram too.

Absolute gem! Cosy dining at the back Fantastic bar at the front Cocktails and drink selections are brilliant and the food is to die for! Cant wait to come back

Great atmosphere and welcoming. Went here alone on a quiet Thursday night. Spoke to the bar staff and they gave great recommendations for places around Manchester. Really welcoming and they went out of their way to call other bars to check if they’re still open for me. Will only do a five star rating when I taste the food

Great service and space. Ordered items from most of the menu and the food was uniformly delicious, particularly any of the skewers. I like the Baan Yang / grill cooking style, I haven't seen this in Manchester before. Cocktails are top drawer. Highly recommend.

I've been a couple of times now and have tried everything on the food menu. It was all delicious, I can't choose a favourite (everything) but the staff are great at suggesting dishes to try together. Fab selection of wine and cocktails as well! Go and visit, you won't be disappointed. Well done Neon Tiger - I'll definitely be back!

Despite going to Thailand I didn't quite fall in love with the food as I'd like. Who would have thought that in Manchester I would find a place that would change my mind! Food is well thought out. The red curry is definitely a winner. Salad was fresh and the sausage is as funky as you'd want it. Great staff and atmosphere. Will be back soon.

Freelancing on some lovely processional projects. the Monster Parade and the Toy Parade

A fantastic company that truly care about accessibility. Not only that but every member of staff I met has been polite and kind, even including the finance team, who were efficient, knowledgeable and supportive.

Fabulous outdoor arts creation & learning centre, unique to Salford and the North. Friendly staff and a great place to work, meet or attend/host an event

Always put on amazing projects in the local area, well worth being involved or visiting one of their events

This is not a reflection of the staff at all they were very kind If it were possible to write 0 stars for the manager I would. My brother booked and confirmed the booking for his 30th birthday party on three separate occasions however the manager Calum I believe his name is who is clearly is not fit for his job and clearly a complete fool, cancelled the booking after confirming, then confirmed the booking again after protesting. Then we found out he had canceled the booking when we arrived. The staff were very nice, supportive and sympathetic and clearly didn't understand the managers rationale. If you wish to book a party or function the booking is clearly not guaranteed in this venue stay away.

When we first came in we got told to sit down and we’d be served - the guy came over and immediately had a terrible attitude, looked our friend up and down when we asked about the £2 cocktail deal and asked him if he was old enough to drink. When he came back to take our order he said ‘we all looked 18 so he didn’t even want to serve us’. So we said would you like to see our ID (we are all 20-22) and he belittled us and said ‘are you excited because you’re showing these for the first time’ - it was a wholly unpleasant experience and we did not feel welcome at all. Such a shame as cocktails were lovely and ambiance was nice and we were looking forward to celebrating our friend’s 23rd birthday there.

Good late night spot with good selection of beers.

Not all of the menu was available (no can opener available). Sub-medium customer service. Cocktails are nice

My fav place to go for drinks. So quirky and alternative. Also really nice staff and you sometimes get tree tapas! 100% should visit this secret bar.

Cosy basement cocktail bar. I really enjoyed my drink and the music was great.

Super cosy, absolutely fantastic bartender, tasty drinks, would definitely recommend
