Food Scene

Best Spanish restaurant in Manchester and my favourite in the city. They combine tasty food, great wine or beer and the most friendly service you will get. It is a must go, but should try booking before due to high local demand.

It used to be a public house in 1870 and the amazing and It is one of Manchester's finest. With classic British food and fine beers, it preserves the nostalgia for the Victorian period and the Mancunian vibe.

A secret small treasure. The oldest 'public' library in the UK. Well worth a visit. Make sure you find out when the tours are. You cannot enter the property without a guide since it is also a functioning music school. The building and small grounds are picturesque. Interior takes you back in time to the middle ages. Well restored.

Laid-back club hosting live jazz, funk and soul acts, plus cocktails and pizza menu. You can sit and relax with Jazz music or some Jam sessions with free entrance (when it is not free, it costs around 5 pounds). They have happy hours if you buy 2 pints you have pizza free.

Quirky local pub with a weird funny decoration. Decent beer selection and a very European feel on the outskirts of the Northern Quarter. The backyard is a great beer garden in the summer.

Awesome place with brilliant food, cool cocktails and a good range of beers and spirits. Very nice design and cool photo booth downstairs. It is diverse, beautiful and lively. Music is good (often live music) and people stand on benches cheering and chanting together. Really great vibe and a bar experience outside of the box.

Live music from rock to reggae and folk, with a cafe/bar and box office in a former cinema space. The venue offers a range of music; to qualify is more about musicianship than the gene. However, jazz blues and world music are showcased. It's run as a cooperative and supports educational programmes for adults and children. It includes a bar with excellent beer. The food range is limited and simple but tasty
