Top 30 Best Vibrant nightlife in Manchester

“The savoury food here is incredible, the pizza, cheesey garlic bread and tatertots were all perfectly delicious! (Definitely get the cheesey garlic bread!) The cocktails were delicious too and they have a good selection of beers. Let them know if you’re celebrating as you might get a free shot! The servers are very friendly, attentive and genuine. The only slight disappointment for us was the dessert, it looked good but it tasted very claggy and it wasn’t the same quality and taste as the savoury options. Their is only one dessert option, so it really should be a good one. Will absolutely go back here, especially for more cheesey garlic bread and cocktails!”

“I've loved Common for many many years for various reasons. The vibe and the ambience in there is lovely, the array of drinks is fantastic and something to suit every taste and most importantly the staff who are friendly and warm and funny and give impeccable service. You can tell they love working there which really comes through in the customer experience. The addition of Nell's Pizza only adds to this. Went once before the pandemic and it was really good pizza. Came back here tonight and it was just as good as I remembered. The garlic bread with black garlic ketchup is to die for and the pizzas areny just big, they've got some big flavour too. These are not novelty pizzas because of their size, these are GOOD pizzas. They are tasty and full of flavour and the "Do you 'Roni Honey" is just delicious. Can highly recommend the truffle mayo dip too. Not a gimmick, just good honest flavour that compliments the pizza so well. I'm so glad that Common has decided to reopen. I've been going for almost 2 decades and was genuinely gutted when they announced the closure last year. So if you've read this far, what are you waiting for? Get down to Common and help this stalwart of the NQ stay open so I can keep going for another 15 years! Amazing beers, superb pizza and absolutely superb staff. Thanks to the team for the hard work and making my colleague's birthday a good one.”

“Great restaurant/bar a fab menu with plenty of offers Thursdays most of the menu is half price plus 2 cocktails for £12 The menu offers everything to suit all tastes,with a good 3 plates tapas selection The staff are friendly and attentive”

“My husband and I were looking for somewhere a little bit special for our last date night before our first baby arrives in the next few weeks, and I found Khau Galli online. We booked a VIP Pod, and had such a wonderful evening! The food was incredible, the staff and service were brilliant, and the whole unique dining experience in the pod was fantastic. There was even an Alexa in each pod so you can have whatever music playing that you like, which was a lovely bonus touch. We’ll definitely be going back again in the future, and I highly recommend it to anyone!”

“A bar worth visiting. If you enjoy a great view while you’re sipping on an amazing cocktail, you have to go here. The bartenders know their menu and they’re also extremely nice.

“Got a takeaway and tried the Pa- Nang chicken curry with egg fried rice. The curry sauce had great flavour and the chicken was tasty. Good portion sizes and price.”

They put a tapas buffet on for us which included starters of salami, Spanish ham, olives, pitta, sundried tomatoes and salsa, followed by gambas pil pil, chorizo, patatas bravas, Meatballs and two types of chicken and garlic bread! Food was absolutely spot on and they accommodated a lady who had a gluten intolerance, she was well impressed! Only thing I'm upset about is not taking a pic!”

“Visited this pub as an away Swindon fan watching them play Salford. Very welcoming place, great friendly door staff and amazing bar team. Food was good and local brewery choice was excellent for range of drinks. Highly recommended”

“Really nice to see that some small brewers are happy to fly the sour flag in a market overwhelmed by IPAs. The only thing I would say is that there were lots of 'imperial' drinks - maybe these are good for winter, but I tend to steer clear of such strong beers.”

“A great local pub, friendly staff, quick service & a good atmosphere. Would recommend a visit :)”

“Very friendly staff - manager let me use the toilet when in need despite it being a ticketed event - cannot thank him enough”
