Excellent bar. Great music. Varied genres and a great atmosphere. Nice cabaret layout with table service. Not too big so feels intimate

The go-to place for Jazz music in Manchester. Can't beat a stout and some trumpet. Attended several times over the years and I've never been disappointed.

I am a regular at Matt and Phreds when I work in Manchester and it is one of the highlights of my visits to the city. This small and intimate club hosts live jazz on pretty much every night, and most performances are completely free. The drinks are reasonably priced and I have enjoyed listening to some fabulous musicians. In a time when live music is becoming more and more expensive to see this place is an absolute steal. Relaxed and friendly, this place is a real gem, I don’t suppose the owners might be persuaded to relocate to my home town?

As usual at Matt and Phreds the music was superb but unfortunately we were kept waiting over an an hour for a pizza. We ordered the pizza at 7.10 and were told we couldn't order anything other than pizza before 8pm, although the menu never mentioned it . After a couple of trips to enquire at the bar the pizza eventually arrived at 8.30pm. but having ordered the rest of our food at 8pm we then had to wait a further hour and a half for hummus, garlic bread and chicken wings. There was no apology and although when it eventually came the food was good it was so late that we almost cancelled it. I couldn't find anyway to leave feedback on their website so hope that the management take note of trip advisor reviews....

A good friend of mine was performing at this venue and he invited me out. I (25 year old black male) attended the event with my partner (23 year old white female) and another friend (22 year old white female). My name was on the guest list and we all entered. After grabbing the first round of drinks the owner of the licence ( Clare Turner) came over and asked my partner and friend if they were ok with being with me. After she said that, I said, “ok, it’s time to leave”. I left and proceeded to record as I was leaving. She then came out behind me and my partner in a drunken state, hurling abuse genuinely trying to provoke a reaction out of me. ( I have video evidence) my partner asked Clare why she came over to us, my partner also said, “he’s my boyfriend” after my partner said that. Clare back tracked. Sure, you can say I’m pulling the race card here but no one else was bothered by the owner the entire night. The vibe was dope and seeing my good friend complete his set was amazing. But if that’s how the owner treats paying customers then they deserve to be exposed.

Really upset with the experience here. Came after a bottomless brunch for my birthday. The bar staff were lovely but somehow when I tried to sympathise with the owner for having to clean up something awful in the loo she asked the door man not to let me back in which meant our entire party had to abandon our freshly ordered drinks. Really upset and confused at the response when I was only trying to be nice. I've been bar staff and sympathise with what an awful job it is. Ended my birthday night out in tears as I was so confused and upset at her reaction.

Didn’t have any food but booked a table to see the band playing. I ordered a white wine and it was awful. Tasted like vinegar and didn’t drink it. Switched to vodka .

Rang ahead to check if they could cater for me as a coeliac, and they were enthusiastic about being able to do so. Ordered gluten free pizza, kitchen messed it up and gave me one with gluten which made me violently ill and had to take time off work to recover. Wrote a complaint via email and Facebook but they haven't even had the decency to acknowledge my complaint never mind respond. Worried for others with special dietary requirements eating here. Can't comment on the venue for music as we missed the band we'd booked to see as I was so unwell we left just as they began their set. Really disappointing visit and really terrible customer service. Avoid for food if you have allergies!!! Otherwise, hope you enjoy the music and gave a better experience than me!

I spent Saturday night with my wife and Eight friends and family at Matt and Phreds the band were the Retrosettes and were really good from the very first song the crowd were up dancing.and the atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone of our party enjoyed the night and considering I booked the venue and didn’t tell them where they were going it was a result. The waiter service was a great plus and he was a great guy and got every drink right all night. The drinks are reasonable considering you are in a club in town but the only negative is a few of us are and although reasonably priced the pizza is really poor and even though most people don’t go there to eat if you are doing it then do it well and maybe charge a bit more.

Compere very good, the one and only Jonathan mayor on the ball and full of witty chat. The music before the show and after the break is good too thanks Desmond o 'conner. The show is tastefully done and very enjoyable. I personally will be going back. I even might try a jazz night too. We'll done everyone

Estadía de 2 noches para ver un concierto en jueves por la noche y encontramos este pequeño tesoro a unas calles de distancia para el viernes por la noche. Reservamos una mesa (si quieres sentarte, tienes que reservar). 5 libras en la puerta. No habíamos planeado comer pero pedimos pizza, pan de ajo y chorizo, cursi una de las mejores pizzas, panes de ajo que he tenido, y bastante barato! !

We wanted something different for a night out, this was brilliant! Really chilled atmosphere, good music (the band were called The Big Easy), we booked a table in advance and were right near the front. Only £5 to get in and the drinks and food were very reasonable with table service. We had a pizza which was nice. Just loved the atmosphere and the music - would recommend booking at the weekend though as by the end of the night it was packed!

La última vez que visité hace un par de meses, pero sentía la necesidad de una revisión en ahora pop después de ver algunos de los comentarios aquí recientemente. He estado visitando M&Ps; durante años y ponen música excelente y el ambiente siempre es bueno, incluso en una noche de la semana. A veces se pone en la parte delantera cuando snug gente levantarse a bailar - lo mejor indicación de buena música? Este lugar tiene alma y carácter - rebosa fuera de las murallas, como con todos los mejores clubes de jazz. La comida y las bebidas están bien de precio y el personal siempre ha sido amable y muy cortés conmigo, pero es la música y el ambiente que es importante en un club de jazz y no hay nada mejor que Matt y Phred's. Una institución de Manchester, largo que última.

The music is fantastic. The cocktails are pricey but made well, worth the money. Though the place fills up so much that you don’t enjoy the atmosphere. Booked a table and ended having a view of wall of people’s backs. Might as well be listening the music inside a cupboard.

This is a wonderful little venue very good acts,. The only thing i would give caution to is the fact that it gets full to the point of getting to the toilets is a fight and if you have booked a table don't think about watching the performance as they will just let people stand in front of you. Which soon turns a great night out in to a average night at best which is a big shame ☹️ I wonder how may people they can fit in here

Matt and Phreds is my absolute favourite Manchester venue!!! You can go in early for a chilled cocktail (I recommend a Mai Tai they are amazing) and then stay on to hear the fantastic bands! I went and saw the amazing New York Brass Band,...

My go-to place for plant-based pizza: this time around, I went for the Four Seasons (I think!) 15% student discount even on a Friday was a nice bonus. Our server- Knushi- offered warm service.

Had a pizza, loads of toppings to choose from, very tasty and fresh. Everything looks very clean and Everything was explained on the different dishes they do. Also did gluten free pizza bases. Staff were very friendly.

Went to Honest Crust today and had their Margherita pizza. The pizza tastes fantastic, the dough is really tasty, the cheese they use is delicious and flavour wise the pizza was top notch. The only thing letting it down was that it was just too soggy and floppy which made it difficult to eat. If the base had been crisper with a bit less flop it would be a solid 5/5 pizza. Will definitely try it again and fingers crossed for a crispier base.

What a place to dine at! Atmosphere was amazing, the food was greater than I could have possibly imagined. I came in with expectations and not only were those expectations met, but they were also exceeded. I would definitely recommend to the point of even travelling for it.

The only complaint is I've sliced my.fingdr open on the bathroom door and it's so swollen and infected I've had to have a tenus shot.
