Love this place and we would 100% come back.
From the minute you walk in the atmosphere is great, they have a great selection of drinks and something for everyone, the music is a perfect volume so you can hear each other but not anyone else, the service is bang on.
We came on a monday and they had 50% off food. before we ordered, he advised certain items will have a £5 surcharge.
The food is amazing and full of flavour, some of the best smash burgers we've had, and the pulled beef fries are to die for.
The only reason the food got knocked down slightly is due to the chicken burger and the chicken tray, we found they were on the tougher side due to being fried for too long. The flavour was great, but it was only this that let it down....but in hindsight, we may have just got slightly unlucky
Food 9/10
Service 10/10
Vibe 10/10

Visited on a very busy Saturday. Staff were great and incredibly friendly. We only had drinks so can’t comment on the food, but the cocktails we had were very good

I came here with my family and we had a pleasant experience. The environment was fun and energetic which really added to the atmosphere of the place. The drinks were nicely made and the cocktails looked fantastic. Would go back again.

It’s my first time in Manchester and luckily we have found this place. I would give them 100 stars for everything, specifically the friendly staff who no matter how busy is the place, they keep the highest standards of service with a lovely smile on their faces! Extra stars for Seth who provided the best service. We are coming back here for sure.

Manchesters best. By far.
Made even better thanks to Seth, who’s welcoming and great personality and his exceptional service sealed the deal.
Well worth the journey from London…!

Really cool bar. Felt like the oldest one in their but the songs were good. Funny that the other people in there probably weren't born when the songs came out 🤣 everyone was having a great time though which is lovely to see

We waited for an hour and a half for food.
0/10 for customer service as no one came up to our service to ask or suggest some food/drinks. Do not go there.
Moreover, the 50% deal on food is a scam, nothing was 50% off.

I have come here for drinks before but today was my first time having some food. It was wonderful I got the bbq ribs with some chips which were seasoned and crispy. The ribs were great also they have the 50% off deals for January on specific days but didn’t like that they had a surcharge for ordering the half rack of ribs.

This place is absolutely unreal. 50% off food 6 days a week, bill for 2 of us for a full meal and drinks only came to £30. Our server Seth was an absolute delight and was so attentive and friendly. Cannot recommend enough. The food was delicious and incredibly filling! Will be coming back for definite

Throwback to a little spot of dinner in Manchester. Being recommended by a local we decided to stop in for food. It’s certainly a lively place with a great atmosphere fitting the New York bar theme. However, if you’re wanting a nice quiet meal, or some good conversation, be prepared to a bit loud.
The menu isn’t massive but if you’re after ribs, chicken or burgers, then you should be happy. They offer 3 burgers with one being Cajun fried chicken and a Beyond Meat burger. Then there’s the meat trays, ribs, and wings with a range of fries. There’s a different menu on Sundays so do check it out online.
I had the Maple Bacon Double Cheese Burger which consisted of a Double Smash Burger, Streaky Maple Bacon, House Burger Sauce, American Cheese, Pickles, Iceberg Lettuce served in a Seeded Brioche Bun which is unusual and Brioche’s are usually bald! Oh! Not forgetting a side of Tiki salted fries which comes with the burger.
Good range of crafts beers on draught but mostly bottles or cans with most coming from the US and the UK keeping the vibe. There’s a decent cocktail list too and the Zombie Steins looked interesting! We instead decided on a bottle of Argentina’s Zuccardi Malbec which was accompanied our grub well.
If you like the music and the vibe, then you should like it here. Especially if you want a good burger or tray of ribs.

Dropped in for a quick pint, felt like going for something a bit different and Chris, the bartender, helped us choose a lovely beer that we’d not tried before. The beer was lovely and the service even better. Thanks Chris <3

Always worth a visit when in Manchester. I can't help but feel that the cocktails aren't as creative as they used to be but the vibe is always great and the service is fab.

Went to see Slipknot the other night and came here for food. Had the pork ribs and my god they were delicious. I also had chicken tenders which were really good. Friends had the beef ribs and the chicken platter which they both loved. One thing I'd change, Manchester has some great breweries so maybe get some of their beers on tap. Would definitely come back.

Was looking for a place to get something to eat and drink while waiting on a bus from near by bus station. Was refused entry at the door because I had my backpack and small bag in hand. Rather disappointing to say the least.

We tried to go to another restaurant but it was too full, went here on a last ditch effort and was surprised by the quality of the food and drink,
Guinness was nice which is always a bonus
Had a burger, chicken tenders and chips
Honestly one of the best meals I've ever had, one I will be thinking about for a long time to come! Amazing fully recommend
