Manchester - Night Out

Since my Dad can't make the Chelsea game, I'm surprising the Mrs with a weekend away in Manchester, staying in the Northern Quarter, but happy to uber around.

Whilst I've been to Manchester plenty of times, never with the wife. I'm hoping for some advise those in the area for a nice day and night.

We're mid 30's, we like our food and music, so ideally some quick lunch on a reasonable budget, a nice early evening meal followed by drinks in bars/ clubs with good music. We're not really into chart music, we like Indie/ Rock, 80's, 90's.

Wouldn't be against a day time activity.

Any ideas appreciated.

Mackie Mayor is a good if you’re in the northern quarter for lunch. Smithfield social nearby is a decent boozer too. Always prefer the pubs round there over the bars, Crown and Kettle, Castle, Gullivers etc.

Ducie Street Warehouse also a good daytime venue. Junior Jackson’s for drinks at night and Matt and Phreds in the NQ -it’s brilliant. Blues Kitchen also a good shout if not.

The Refuge is a great venue, worked there for a few years up until covid. Decent daytime or evening. Food menu looks v good atm too. Went to Maray for food last time I was in town, I’d recommend that, El Gato too.

If the weather is nice Ramona in the NQ, Cutting Room Square in Ancoats or go down to Hatch

I quite like Yes, near Joshua Brooks and Lass O'Gowrie.

Doesn't look that big from outside but has a downstairs bar (does pizza during the day) and a terrace bar upstairs, as well as two live music venues.

Yes is also decent! If you’re in your mid 30s though be prepared to be the oldest in there 😂

Busby, it’s going to be a busy weekend - you have about five restaurants and 10 bars to get to.

Please be sure to provide a full review for all.
