Top 30 Best Uk pubs for events in Manchester

“Overwhelmingly positive experience. Got recommended a rare wine from Uruguay that was the best wine I’ve tried. The meat variety and quality is ridiculously good, the waiters keep coming to offer new cuts of meat with a span of minutes until you stop them, and trust me you will. I was there for 2 and a half hours and ate all I could, nobody rushed me and the service is 10/10. I would highly recommend this place either for a date, going out with friends or family. It’s great for any case. I’ll have to fast for a day after this, but worth it!”

“Hired here for my grandsons 21st,they were excellent, couldn't thank them enough.Staff were really friendly and very helpful and efficient. Thank you.”

“We really love this pub and pizza place. The beers are expertly kept and the staff are very friendly. We had a couple of pizzas when we were there last and they were exactly what we wanted and needed. Good atmosphere, great bee, tasty food. What more do you need?”

“I have been to many functions at this venue and always had a great night. Always made to feel welcome even when I have been there on my own. The staff are very friendly and also very accomodating when I have held events there. One such event was on the 14th August where it was a great night and the staff even helped decorate the room as well as cleared everything into a tidy area for us to collect the next day. I noticed a 1* review from a guest at the previous event.. The lady claims to have been Merry but not drunk yet was abusive and confontational to other guest including myself. Later at her hotel it took 8 police officers to escort her from her room after she constantly tried to attack on of her own party. If thats not drunk I'd hate to see how you behave when you are? The fact this lady 2 weeks later is still trying to cause trouble, speaks more about her than the venue she is trying to bad mouth.”

“Brilliant pub, good beer, excellent staff. They have live music and are always welcoming.”

“It was a great experience with my colleagues for a birthday. We didn't eat, but we heard a lot about how delicious their food. We will try ASAP. Thanks everyone for serving on that night. We highly recommend their cocktails. We will be back soon.”

“Amazing is not enough to describe this restaurant. Wide range of south American dishes. Great service. Quality food. Unmatched service and hospitality. All chicken meals are halal. Great vibes.”

“NYE celebrations here, ticketed event included entrance, drink on arrival, canapes throughout the night and schnapps at the end. The atmosphere was electric, great energy from performers and entertainers. A very enjoyable night to end the year!”

“Really decent spot ideal for a gig at the Albert Hall next door. Huge range of ale on offer, the burgers were awesome and cannot compliment the staff enough who made us feel welcome and offered great table service despite being busy the whole time we were there. I put a specific request on the table booking and got exactly what we asked for. It was very much appreciated. Easy to imagine a place like this being a bit too cool, staff being a bit detached, but not at all. Also decent indie play list on the whole time we were there. Top top place!”

“Went here for a family meal had a carvery 3 course meal and really enjoyed it absolutely beautiful and will be returning again .”

“Love this bowling alley, always got good offers for drink and bowl deals (think we paid £13 for two games and two drinks). Plus the arcade is decent and not too expensive either. Good central location too as it's right next to the tram stop, Shudehill bus terminus and Manchester Victoria station.”

“We had a lunch during the week and it was lovely .. The food was delicious .. The place was spotless .. We enjoyed the whole experience .. They kindly offered us some vouchers for the new near, therefore I am certainly coming back!!”

“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!”

“Very nice place to have a few drinks and some delicious pub food reasonably priced. The Botanist is beautifully decorated, the cocktails and selection of drinks is is impressive. I really enjoyed my halloumi hanging kebab and sweet chili fries. The staff is very approachable and attentive. Special thanks to our waiter Sam who kindly made sure that we were happy and well attended at all times. Will go back :)”

“Highly recommended. Superb food and very helpful and friendly staff. We were seated right away, and the food we got was freshly cooked and tasty as anything. Highly recommend the Chicken and Bacon pancakes!”

“Food was delicious and staff were welcoming. Pet friendly around the bar/restaurant area which was lovely as we were took our pup Daphne. Was too quick to start eating the food so no photo’s were taken!!”

“Another great experience at The English Lounge… an 80th private party recently, where everyone had a great time. The staff, as always, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Particular thanks to Michael, Kieron and Dannie for looking after us all.”

“I have been in the Brewers twice recently. Its very nicely decorated and comfortable inside. The Cocktails are 2 for 1 which is fab. On a nice day you can sit outside and the atmosphere in the village is vibrant and fun.”

“Had a great meal at the Waterside tonight celebrating a 21st birthday. The pub was busy, had a great atmosphere and the food was great and very well presented, but what stood out was the fantastic service from the whole team serving us, with Vicky in particular doing a great job of not only looking after the whole table, but also paying attention to the youngest member of the group.”

“Great early dinner menu with lots of choice for meat eaters and vegetarians. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Food was gorgeous with great portion sizes.”

“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!!!!”

“Theres always plenty to do for the kids and the bowling is good fun too! can I just mention Charlie has gone the extra mile for us on a few occasions and is a real pleasure to your company! very happy with the service we have received from her on multiple visits. Highly recommend this place for a good family day out!”

“We have just got back from hosting a very large kids birthday party here, I cannot fault the team at all. Every member that we had dealings with was so friendly and helpful, and kept us informed at all times. All the kids had a great time. Can't thank them enough, special thank you to Danielle for all her hard work it was very much appreciated”

“The food was good. But the waiters were fantastic. The place is very neat and decent and I'll recommend their milk shakes”

“Haven't been for years, very nice decor, great atmosphere, food excellent value and piping hot. We had mainly toasted ciabatta and fries, which were all delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Deserts were good too. There were plenty of people eating, which is always a good sign”

“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.”

“When where flying from Manchester Airport we always stay at Best Western Pinewood Hotel & this place is about 10mins walk down the road. Its an excellent place to get really nice food, they have an extensive menu plus there's always the carvery to choose from, the staff are always very friendly everytime we have been in & have a very large outdoor play area for children”

“Great experience as always. The bar staff and bouncers are all excellent and the prices are more than respectable all the way through the week. Definitely recommend Ark for a quality night out with mates. 5/5”
