Was a big fan of the venue so I thought I’d go in for a pint of Guinness. Didn’t let me in as I was on my own, reason: “it’s to prevent drink spiking”

Bouncer with black hair refused to let us in after queuing for 10 minutes. He claimed it was because we were a group of 6 even though he let in a group of 6 people after us. We were trying to meet some friends inside a place we’ve been loads of times before. Sad to leave this place a bad review as it’s a great place inside, the world would be a better place without power hungry bouncers! He also refused to give us his security number, we won’t be going there again.

There are lots of places in the northern Quarter to endure an outdoor beer or two when the Sun is shining. As we walked into Stevenson Square, we were spoilt for choice really and chose the soup kitchen. This proved to be a great idea for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they have a pretty good lager. I'm happy hour at £3.50 which helps! Also, they had seating right on the other side of the square that we didn't know about, but this enjoyed waiter service and a lot of late afternoon sunshine. The service was quick and friendly and the inside of the bar is nice enough, but this was definitely a day to be out in the Sun!

Horrendous place. Me and my friends are all 19. We all showed our IDs to get in. When we got to the bar the “manager” approached us and said “you’re all under 18 get out” and we had no choice but to leave. All of us are genuinely 19 and have never owned fake IDs if that’s what they were getting at? A place for only millenials and actual old people don’t go here.

The name 'Soup Kitchen' says it all, full of tramps, well, more like middle class children who come to Manchester to study and think it's cool to not wash for four weeks, look and dress like they've been pushed through the XXL department at COW or Oxfam and say how much they love the labour party. Bar staff and manager incredibly rude and dismissive too.

Getting sick of watered down cocktails that claim to have measures of x, y and z in them, but have no material alcohol impact?! Then SOUP is the place for you! This place has a decent selection of cocktails that deliver. It's not a tiki bar, so you're not going to get your cocktail served in a tiki mug with an umbrella and massive slice of pineapple with hula dancers. But you will get the alcohol you're paying for! Cocktails aside, the venue feels a little mixed in terms of style and feel. It's not plush, and it's not a traditional pub. It feels like a pho/wagamma bench style setting, but has more of a bar vibe to it, so a bit of a mixed message. We didn't have food here, but I have heard the food is good for the price paid.

Really good DJs (Pluralist was amazing), quick bar service, relaxed vibe and great crowd. Upstairs beforehand was cool too but quite a queue for the bathroom as it was really busy but I cant wait to come back here. No cloakroom though.

Set just on the edge of Stevenson Square this isn’t your average bar. We’ve not eaten there but go for drinks quite often and always enjoy our time. It is done out in a minimalist style but it suits the area. Staff are friendly and it was nice that they offered us samples of the drinks we are ordering as we’ve not had them before. That is a good sign on its own as it means you can try different beer and so on. As a result, we got to drink a mango bitter which was a lot better than it sounds. Take a table by the window and watch as Manchester moves by whilst enjoying a drink.

Soup kitchen is one of the best bars/venues in Manchester but has recently changed quite a bit, I miss the upstairs DJ booth and the old interior as well as the cask ales. However the staff are all friendly and relaxed and it remains a place that feels warm and welcoming as soon as you enter, the low key vibe is soup's USP and what makes it so addictive, its a place where anyone can go and enjoy a drink, alone, or with friends and feel comfortable. Its obvious that staff shortages are affecting many hospitality places at the moment and Soup is clearly feeling the strain of this also as there simply were not enough staff to serve the queue on a busy Friday night however the venue was still clean and staff were efficient.

There's a good choice for vegetarians too, as I would day more than half the dishes were veggie. The ambiance was great - very chilled and the waiting staff were lovely. There was a decent selection of good beers too though we didn't actually try any! Would definitely go again.

Dived in to Soup Kitchen on my first ever visit to Manchester, partly to get out of the driving rain. What a cool place. Relaxed industrial-style vibe, healthy menu and looks like it morphs into a multi-level entertainment venue when the sun goes down. Excellent homemade herby tomato soup with fresh focaccia bread, served in a simple enamel bowl. Sit on a stool by the huge windows, or on a bench at communal trestle tables. £4.00 and a fine intro to the funky Northern Quarter of the city and my first Mancunian adventure.

The hotel is central with plenty of parking options. I used the car park over the road which was 30 seconds from the hotel entrance. Check-in was okay, nothing out of the ordinary despite being a gold member. 2 out of 3 lifts working but at least they were quick. The room, decor wise was nice, as expected, good sized TV and usual room facilities. The bathroom had a shower over the bath, it was so powerful that it sprayed all over the place, the head wasn’t fixed correctly it seemed. However no big deal, as the bathroom was nice and spacious. My only complaint or improvement area for the room was the bed. It was very squeaky, seemed quite old and a bit small and uncomfortable. I’ve stayed 50+ times in Hilton’s in the past couple of years and this was the most uncomfortable bed and smallest I’ve stayed in.
