Top 30 Best New cocktail experiences in Manchester

“Best salt and pepper mix meat in the area, just the right amount of spice. Goes perfect with egg fried rice.”

“Only my second visit which seems daft as this is a cracking pub and a mecca for real ale drinkers. It is only a few minutes walk over the Irwell into Salford. The beer selection did not disappoint. I had a lovely pint of Wigan Brewhouse Soul Train. Really friendly pub on a lovely little square.”

“Visited the Rebellion for the King Buffalo gig, Lowdrive were the open act. Absolute banging band, we had an excellent night. All the staff were polite friendly and helpful. Great venue and highly recommended. We will be back!!!”

“Booked a table for a get together with friends. The food was fantastic, great service and a lovely waitress! Many thanks and we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended.”

“Most authentic Mexican place I've found so far in the UK with actual corn tortillas and salsa Valentina! No longer called Pancho's so ignore that part on here but still a great place that offers burritos and much more like enchiladas! Only bad thing is that not all the drinks on show are available anymore but really loved finding this place and the staff were super nice and super friendly. Beers are £3-£3.50 and 2-4-1 between 6pm and 9pm so a bargain! Haha”

“What a lovely little pub. A hidden jem. Nice people and the beer garden is lovely. Definately coming again .”

“It's a theatre upstairs with a good hall on the ground floor, serving samples of cuisine from Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, among others. Halal chicken is available from the bao and Japanese vendors. Great, friendly service. I look forward to visiting again.”

“Great place to eat some nice Indian food. Some of the items are a bit expensive but I think for the flavours and portion size it's acceptable. Also environment is very traditional Indian and friendly staff. If you need like enjoying some nice Indian meals. I would reccomend Indian tiffen room.”

“can I firstly say this place is certainly no longer run by a bully !!! the new landlord is the kindest friendliest man I have ever had the privilege to meet. He goes above and beyond to help and welcome his customers. the place is a fantastic venue with 2 pool tables dart board great jukebox and lovely bar staff. we love calling in on a Saturday afternoon we live 10 miles away but it's such a great place we make the effort as it's worth every penny!!!”

“Just around the corner, this place stood out ever since we moved in the area! Great coffee, good food with a lot of options for brunch, lunch and dinner. Very good offerings for veggies too. Lovely atmosphere with some dogs always around! Despite lacking on natural light, it’s a warm, welcoming and pleasant place to be!”

“I do not leave reviews very often but I have to for this one. We came for a Christmas Eve meal in a beautiful setting. From the food all the way down to the service, they go above and beyond to make you have the best experience. Food is bursting with flavour and filling. Had some of the best service I’ve ever experienced here, staff are kind, friendly and fantastic with the children. I cannot fault anything with this restaurant at all. Thanks for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Great atmosphere and karaoke DJ on a Friday .sky sports etc .”

“Good service and all round good experience. Amazing barmaids and loved every minute of mine and my wife’s meal with some drinks”

“Who said you can't have fun and stay safe? Namco Bowling made it happen! We had a great time with family. We booked 2 lanes side by side and played against one another. The place felt safe, clean and in line with the gov. guidelines.”

“Reading the other recent reviews here, I can understand the general comments. We waited about 20 minutes for our drinks, but nothing else went wrong at all. The food we ate was first class, we all finished the lot! We were served by a man with glasses called Will. He literally didn't stop in the 2 hours we were there. He was so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. He clearly understands his job role. Unfortunately the other staff members didn't seem as switched on. In my opinion of course. So for Will's first class service, as well as the exceptional food, 5 stars. We just hope it isn't Will's day off when we return!”

“I would recommend the comedy store any day of the week. Staff were pleasant . Place was clean and tidy and in a prime location near to other events in the heart of Manchester. Its quite a large venue which could seat around 200 people as an estimate. maybe they offer to hire out the venue? i dont know but its worth mentioning. Would be back very soon. House beer was great!! Enjoy it!!!!”

“We order regularly. Always high standard and Super delicious. Always share with guests too. Highly recommended. Super timing for delivery and staff are all wonderful. Our favourite curry house. Only curry house :)”

“I’ve ordered cocktails from the drinks drop a few times now and it’s been ace every time. Great menu, really great drinks and they arrive as expected ready for the weekend.... I've already recommended to loads of mates who all loved it also, so can’t recommend highly enough. Brilliant!”

“Great place to learn lindy hop as a begginer and continue your journey for everyone else. Lovely teachers and lessons each week, and a really fun social dance each week too. Kevin and the gang are superb.”

“Came to try the set menu through Buy a gift website. It was £30 for 3 course with a glass of wine and it was worth every penny. The food was all very tasty, and arrived quickly. The staff were all attentive and friendly.”

“Great food and lots on the menu I'll definitely be going again”
