This is a regular place for us in town and we always have a great time there. This particular visit a friend was down from Edinburgh so I took them in and they were very impressed indeed. The building itself is full of history and has been kept in excellent condition. It has a bustling but relaxed atmosphere and it seems to attract a more mature crowd. They have a great range of drinks at reasonable prices and you never have to wait long to get served. There is a sense of history all around and with it being so centrally located a visit is strongly recommended.

We've been coming to The Bank for years now, it's absolutely stellar for great classic English pub food and a pleasant sit-down drink. The food is always top notch and comes out really quickly, and the bar staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for a relaxed meal out! A+

Unkompliziert und hilfsbereit und das obwohl wir unangemeldet waren. Essen sehr gut! Wir hatten den „pie and ale deal“. Excellent service and food. We were a group of about 12 and were looked after very well even though we hadn‘t booked in advance. I can only recommend it!

the restaurant looks lovely nice atmosphere and the menu looked very promising however the smashed avocado with poached egg on sourdough toast was disappointing. The sourdough wasn't toasted sufficiently to melt butter the avocado was just plain sliced, not smashed or with any herbs etc in it and the poached egg was hard. Sadly not as appetising as hoped for and suggested by a lovely menu.

Nestled in the heart of Manchester, The Bank is a gem that stands out amidst the city's bustling streets. Just a short walk from the office this traditional pub is more than just a place to grab a pint/prosecco — it's a slice of Manchester's rich history But it's not just the setting that makes The Bank special. The bar staff here are exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with a warm smile. Their passion for what they do is evident in how they expertly pour each drink and engage with customers, making everyone feel right at home whether you're a local or just passing through. The food here is equally impressive—classic pub fare done right, with quality ingredients and generous portions.

In a pot of gold, so warm and bright, Cheesy dreams dance in the soft twilight. Pasta twirls in a creamy embrace, Small comfort found in the mid of the day. Sprinkled with beef, some brisket delight, Melting away all worries in sight. With each bite, worries fade away, Mac n' cheese magic, come what may.

I tend to go here 2-3 times a week for lunch with a colleague. The food is always fantastic but it's the staff that make this place my number 1 and why i won't go anywhere else. All the front of house staff I've ever spoken to have been brilliant. Friendly, welcoming, polite and you feel like nothing would be too much bother. Overall I can't fault this place and you know you'll get fantastic food and service every single time. I'd highly recommend the Nicholson burger and duck croquettes, my colleague has developed a mac n cheese with brisket addiction as well so I'd say that's a good shout as well!

Been here a few times over the years. For the first time the food was not a good as usual it all tasted and look a little rushed had booked a table so not as if we turned up to see if we could get a table and eat. Was a little disappointed on the food expecting better for the cost it was below average. Meat in pie was tough and swimming in gravy to that you also get extra in a jug. The chicken bites were smothered in diced chilli over the top yo say the least. Will return for drinks but will possibly not be eating.

Been here a few times now. Last night we decided to meet up with family for a few drinks and food. Barcstaff great and service great as always. The downside last night was the food. The food for the others was OK as it was snack food. I on the other hand had a pie as it was being well promoted within the pub. I opted for the Beef Shank pie this came with roasted carrots and mash and a small jug of gravy. When it arrived the pie has a large bone in the pastry top can only think to show the chef its a shank pie. The carrots had no taste and looked like they had been cremated. The meat in the pie had too many tough chewy pieces in and was swimming in gravy so there was no need for the additional jug. As for the other's in the party as I said has snack food of chicken coujons and chips they said chicken inside was OK but again the outer covering was hard and dry. You do get some dips to help soften the crunch so you don't shatter you teeth. There was also some spicy chicken strips again just like the coupons except there is sliced chillies over the top of the straps just sort of put on the top to add some heat but more than you would put in a curry at home. We will return as like the pub but will be giving food a miss much better and cheaper food around didnt think we got quantity or quality fot over £47.00.

It was slso claimed that the selected drinks we had would be free with the food on Saturdays & this was not the case. £43.00 for 2 burgers, 1 diet pepsi & a cider!!

Lovely fish finger butty and fast service. 0% draft Heineken is not included in the lunchtime meal deal of a meal and a drink (even though cheaper than all of their other draft alcoholic beers), which is disappointing as I was looking forward to a pint (as far as I'm aware, the Bank are still one of the only few who serve 0% on draft and not in bottle/can). Docked a couple of points as a result and in the hope that management included it in future.

Saw the outside and thought what an interesting building so went in for a snack before the theatre. Inside the building it shows it’s previous past but some now painted in and not shown to their full potential. We decided on the sandwich, chips and drinks deal which looked value for money. The food sandwiches are chunky with nice chips. The best was the fish finger sandwich this has battered fish in it not fantastic but ok. The other was a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. The did not look very good as the American style bright orange cheese oozed out all over the bread, making it look very unappetising and difficult to eat without getting in a mess. It would be nice to see the building brought back to more original. Take more care of the preparation and presentation just not rushing the food out.

We came for breakfast but it had gone lunch time by the time we were served. We also advised that we had moved tables to inside as we were waiting in the wind and rain for over an hour and we were told "you can't do that. That won't go down well with the kitchen." I asked again at the bar if we could move tables due to the weather and someone else said it was absolutely fine so I'm unsure what the issue was. Although it took a while and the service of the staff wasn't great the food was really nice.
