The Bay Horse Pub in Manchester

Wonderful food and service. Food beautifully presented. Great value for money also with the 50% off - will definitely be returning.

Great ambience, good choice of background music and excellent food 👏

Great fresh food and you can tell it’s all home made and with such great quality. The service was also excellent and the staff couldn’t be nicer!

Omg the pie were the best ever !!!!!!! Need to try this well done to the chef and service

Absolutely fabulous!! Very busy but staff working hard and attentive. FOOD 5*!! Banging pies! Great value for money also.

The Bay Horse Tavern is a more upscale pub located in the Northern Quarter. I don't mean that it is fancy. It just has a clean look of being refurbished in the past couple of years. They have a very nice selection of beers in tap plus a lot of non-traditional items on their pub menu. We settled on halloumi fries, chicken salad, asparagus tart & haddock fritters. They offer a great deal of 3 appetizers for 15 GBP. We found all four dishes quite tasty. They were well prepared and brought to our table with an attractive presentation. The guys behind the bar were friendly and helpful. A special shout out to Joe, he was great. I think Bay Horse is a very reliable spot for your dinner needs & a more than adequate wine & beer selection.

Monday night beer and a pint offer is great. Steak pie and mash were stunning. The bay horse own lager is not bad either. Nice pub, can get busy on any day. Dog friendly, too.

Have been here a few times now since moving to Manchester and it’s consistently been fantastic. Great atmosphere, with a decent drink selection. The Sunday roasts are great and very reasonably priced, pies are to die for!

Nice place with after-work pricing.

Great venue and friendly staff 👌

Wow. Literally just ate here and not even left the bar yet totally felt the need to leave a review. The service was amazing, nothing to much and the espresso martini was lovely but I can't leave woth out saying how UNREAL the pie is. 😀 definitely the nest I've eaten , full of flavor 😋 will definitely be back .absolutely recommended for sure

Wow what lovely food,coffee,service very pleasent friendly staff will be back soon

Great bar in Northern Quarter. Good atmosphere. Bar staff great

Great beers, pretty dark inside but has a nice outside area for summer.

Highly recommended! Sunday roast was awesome. We had a good time (family gathering of 10), and special shout out to the bartender who also picked out a very good playlist!

Good food, fresh, interesting. Great service. Chill afternoon vibes.

Food was great and the service was really excellent (friendly and conversational). Good playlist and drink offerings were plentiful and affordable on happy hour. My pie was delicious with ample portioning so left comfortably full. Would highly recommend.

Beef brisket burger is the best burger I've ever tasted. Beef is from the Trough of Bowland and comes in its own jus. Its just fantastic. You have to wait .... but thats because the food is cooked to order. Next time .... and yes there will be a next time! .... I'm trying the beer as well. My wife's fish and chips well covered a 12inch plate and was also delish. I'm highly recommending and suggest booking if you want to sit outside.

Quaint English tavern. Staff were nice. Food was nice. Was not very busy as I went on a Monday afternoon. Looked like a nice spot for a few beers with friends

A pleasant pub in a good side street in Northern.

Genuinely the best burgers around. Get yourself there!

Lovey sunday roast and great service!

Friendly service, interesting menu. We ordered both versions of the sunday roast. The roast beef was a bit chewy and the yorkshire pudding way too greasy for our liking. The chicken version was better, though the chicken could have been seasoned better. Overall it was a good meal though.

Great service. Wonderful cocktails

First time having a meal here, very good pie. Had their Chicken & chorizo pie which was superb, served with chunky chips. Would come here again. note Its card payment only

The staff were very responsive and helped a lot in making a booking for 15 people for the euros for a corporate do. We were sat downstairs where their booked tables are. There was no mention however that we would be on 3 tables split by big pillars down the middle, and I was also told that everyone would have a view of the TV for the euros. This was not true, and even if they did the TV is not big enough to be seen unless you sit on the first table of 3. Ultimately a little disappointed as these were questions I had aimed to iron out before the booking took place. Drinks were brought to table which did help however.

Great pub to stop in for food and a few beers. Lovely old and new pub aesthetics, with vintage wooden pub tables and seats, and even some antiques on display! The service here was amazing, and very relaxed staff which just helped make the perfect pub atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Happy hour till 8pm Monday to Friday pie and mash and a pint on Mondays for 10 pound half price food on Wednesday perfect pub

Ate late lunch. It was super good food and large portions.

A great day out in Manchester and this pub had my favourite IPA winner 👍

Great venue, great food. Most of the staff were great (guy who served us beers with beard great and lady also great). Just one guy with stud earrings had a terrible attitude working at around 17:00 and 30th June. Looked at me like a piece of garbage and was speaking to me sharply when ordering food about what table I was at- put numbers on the tables if you can’t identify the only person sat in that direction sat at a table asking over and over again. How difficult is it to identify that one person, clear he was just being off/awkward. Appreciate he might have been having a moment but I really don’t think most would have stood for it and it’s the worst bit of customer service I’ve ever encountered. He spent most of the rest of the time we were in there sat on the wrong side of the bar and playing darts with his mates so probably not committed to the role. Would go back again for the food, atmosphere and other great staff

Party of 10. All loved the carious main courses. Service was Excellent.

Amazing food, splendid service and great beer. Roast dinner to be recommended & cauli cheese & camembert mash were brilliant.

Good afternoon spent with beers and snacks. Could do with a bit more range on the beer selection but overall decent.

Went for the Sunday dinner over bank Holiday weekend, has changed a lot from being just a boozer to now being a restaurant/bar. Food was really nice, locally sourced beef and the fish & chips were spot on. Good selection of beers also.

We felt very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious. Price-performance ratio is still right. Nice ambience. Clear recommendation

Very rude staff do not waste your time and money visiting this place plenty of other bars better than this place

Very nice place to have a good time

Good outdoor seating area on Bank Holiday Sunday. Staff very helpful to retrieve left jacket 👍

The food was really good and the staff were pleasant

Lovely pub, good choice of drinks, good music, friendly service and the pies were amazing!

Great place, reasonably priced food and drinks Good service, I recommend this pub

Very nice roast. The chicken and beef was cooked perfectly and the vegetarian option was superb. Tasha was excellent, very friendly and polite, and everything came out fast!

Great experience at bottomless brunch, fab drinks 10/10 for Tasha!

Smelt amazing but didn't try the food. Bar service was quick, efficient and friendly. Busy on a Tuesday evening. Was easily upsold double G&Ts during happy hour. One absolutely tiny criticism is that there wasn't any consistency in how the gin and tonics were served. On with lemon, one lime, one orange! Orange won me over.

Went for a roast dinner with a friend and the food was outstanding but the service wasn’t. Staff friendly but we waited a while to be given menus and our order to be taken. Our food came before my drink! The jug of gravy that comes with the food is crazy, so small. So when asked for more gravy, a big jug came but then when we got bill, discovered it was an extra £1.50. Gravy should be free! Nice in the end but felt like I was being a nuisance when I wasn’t. Would go back if I’m ever in Manchester again :)

Enjoyable experience + good atmosphere.....

Great pies, quick service and lots of good drinks options. Would definitely recommend booking as it does get busy

Have been following BHT for a while on Instagram, and in a spur of the moment Saturday decision, decided to give it a whirl. The place is really nice, and reminds me of an old school English pub, with attentive staff who are quick to serve as well. A decent selection of ales is available at decent prices for the location, and the star of the show is the pulled beef pie! Different level honestly, and well worth a go.

Had Sunday lunch here while visiting family ... Amazing food beef and chicken for main courses ... belly pork and caramelised onion tart with goats cheese for starters ... Great staff on bar and on table service ... highly recommended.. Will definitely return when next in Manchester.

Can very much see the bottom lunch, Arrived for bottomless brunch today, was served roughly 3 drinks each other the hour and a half which just barely broke us even on what it would have cost had we just ordered breakfast and drinks seperate, staff were nice but probably not enough of them, in its saving grace breakfast is lovely but would recommend just ordering it by itself. 4 star for venue and experience but a solid 2 for bottomless.

Sunday lunch downstairs. Booked in for 3.00pm. Served our first drink at 3.20pm. Took our order around 4.00pm Served around 4.45pm. .The Sunday roast was topside of beef which at £18.85 was over priced, very chewy and tasteless. There are so many better places to go in Manchester for either less money for the same quality or spend a fiver more and have a real Sunday roast with a far better cut of beef. Overall the biggest issue was service, maybe if we hadn’t sat around for nearly two hours without any attention, even to order further drinks whilst waiting, may be the experience would have been better. Atmosphere was ok but try to avoid being seated downstairs, upstairs would be far better. One positive was the cheese mash, that eas delicious. My advice, try the place yourself but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Sat down Saturday at 1pm got the food menus and never came back for our orders. Didn't even take our drinks. Waited for over 20 minutes before heading somewhere else. A pity

Solid pub with good beer and nice atmosphere. Sadly, we were too late for lunch, but will try it next time.

I booked the bottomless brunch for my birthday and unfortunately, we didn’t have the best experience. There were only 2 servers for a very busy floor and service was slow. It took 30mins for our first drink to arrive, and then we had to keep grabbing the attention of staff to get drinks orders in. Over an hour in and we still hadn’t received our food. We were then told that the ticket hadn’t been received in the kitchen and that we’d have to wait a little longer for our food. When I asked at the bar when to expect our food (because I couldn’t find the staff on the floor), I was met with some rudeness. The bottomless brunch is only booked for 1.5hours, so by the time the food arrived, we were over our time limit, so we requested an extra 30mins was added on. But it still felt rushed. We only had 1 extra drink order during this time too. The food was good, but waiting 1.5hrs for food was just unacceptable and ruined the experience.

Excellent Excellent Excellent Enjoyed a club sandwich, which I would definitely recommend. It also came with extra gravey for the chips, awesome

Fantastic food, drinks and unreal service in a lovely space! 😊 Details: Went for a friends birthday for bottomless brunch, I called up in advance to see if I could order from the normal menu as I don’t drink a lot, they sorted this out no problem at all. Upon arriving it was pretty busy (a good sign), the staff did a great job of managing the inflow of customers and we were promptly seated at our table. Our server ‘Callum’ was fantastic and ensured everyone had constant refills on their bottomless drinks and also took the time to make sure I had everything I needed off the normal menu (something I was initially worried about as I presumed it would be hard to manage during a busy brunch service). The food portions were great compared to the usual bottomless smaller plates, high quality food at a great price, clean plates all around! The chef also was happy to make a special request for a member of our party who wanted to have her eggs cooked differently than the menu stated. The inclusion of cocktails on the bottomless was also great value for money for those who got it and the drinks portions were regular sized and not in smaller glasses to reduce portion. Callum was fantastic and really made our experience, he didn’t rush us out (as is quite common with bottomless brunch) and also allowed us to stay at our table once everyone had finished. Will be back, whether it’s just for drinks or maybe to try some more of the great food! 😁

Good atmosphere and service. Food was of a high standard - particularly the chicken and leek pie. A good spot if new to the area, no complaints

Brilliant bar!!! Great pint too

Best damn fish & chips I've ever tasted. Great service as well. Jan, Copenhagen, Denmark.

What a lush place for drinks with friends. We played darts for hours and laughed until we cried. Espresso martini was a bit sweet for me, but SO fun & relaxed; Lovely vibe, great tunes, jokes crowd and excellent staff crew (thanks to everyone but especially to Katie).💫

Great bar for drinks and tasty pubfood. Order at the bar, as online ordering is not available. Their fish and chips tastes really nice, not too greasy. The different craft beers are really nice, special recommendation is the Shindigger IPA. The bartender also gave us a good recommendation on gin and tonics. They have a seating area on ground floor and downstairs facing the kitchen. Food is 50% off on Wednesdays.

Sunday Roast is superb best I’ve had for a long time.

Food was incredible, fast and excellent service from Tasha

Pissed of with being charged without being informed in a taster of the house cider! Could have said yes that’s fine but we will charge you for it…. Robbing buggers Avoid!

Had a lovely early evening burger here before going to see Depeche Mode at the AO Arena. Really nice place and good lovely, reasonable prices, although we did have the Jan 50% off. Would definitely return and have mentioned to friends.

Some of the best Bangers and Mash I’ve had here. Great vibe and lovely interiors. Wish we had more places like these in Berlin, Germany

Nice pub with a good selection of English pies and beers. The beef pie was delicious but the cheese & onion veg pie was disappointing and not cheesy. Also the broccoli was nice but not worth the price.

Like a local pub in the hustle of NQ, excellent little place.

Fantastic Evening - great food, excellent service and lovely ambiance. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

The BEST fish and chips EVER. Highly recommend. I am sometimes skeptical about pub food when its ordinarily all about the booze but the Bay Horse does not disappoint. Keep up the fab food! Buzzing atmosphere too. And happy, nothing is a problem bar staff.

🇲🇽Amig@ mexican@ Me gustó mucho este lugar, está muy padre la decoración, el ambiente es tranquilo y los alimentos están muy buenos. Pedimos el Sunday Roast y está bastanye completo, no me lo pude terminar. Aquí si te toman la orden en la mesa y te llevan los alimentos. La cerveza está rica 🍻 Aceptan pago con tarjeta. Desconozco si es pet friendly. Pagamos £23 x persona.

Tasha was welcoming and helpful all evening, great pies and good range of gin - happy to recommend to all.

One of the nicest burgers I've had in Manchester, great cosy atmosphere inside and nice team serving drinks, very polite but the only thing that let it down was the nearly hour wait for the food, I get it was busy and I'm usually the most patient person but this was very long, but on the bright side it was a work lunch so the delay meant we missed meetings so not the end of the world. Recommend the burger, as well as the fish, my boss was too full so had a bit of that, as well as my colleagues mash and sausage which also tasted great!

Amazing food, great price. Had he fish and chips and was probably one of the best I’ve had. Will be coming back

Excellent food, drinks and service at The Bay Horse. Even better with 50% off food in January 😀

nice spot for drinking right in the centre of town. somehow there's always free seats too.

Rude staff, salty and awful food. We had appalling burgers with extremely salty meat and bacon and dripping in oil onion rings.

Called in on our works annual outing. Nice atmosphere. At least doormen here were not power freaks. As others spoilt the night

Staff quick and efficient, food (christmas buffet) good. Music a little loud for chatting across table.

Had our works Christmas meal in here. It was lovely and the place was rocking.

Very lovely pub with a nice atmosphere and great decor. Very much enjoyed a cosy spot at the back where you had a bit of privacy but could still enjoy the general chatter of the bar!! Fairly slow bar service (though it was a Monday), but waiters were attentive and polite, despite us having one person arrive late and being unsure of what to choose on the menu. Would add that the menu was limited (2 / 6 or 7 main dishes weren’t available) and the starters were fairly expensive for a small amount of food (5 beer battered prawns for £8.50). Though the taste was pretty good - would absolutely recommend the Christmas pie! We originally booked for the Christmas menu, but were told when arriving that menu needed to be booked several days in advance so they could order in the food in (which is fair enough, but I can’t see this info anywhere on the website and didnt receive anything when I made the reservation, or confirmed it a few days in advance). Perhaps a bit of proactivity eg stating that the menu needs to be booked in advance on the ‘Christmas’ part of the website, or indicating this on the Christmas menu itself, would’ve been helpful so we weren’t disappointed. Saying this, overall would recommend if you can get a good deal on food and enjoy the 2 for 1 drinks as service and atmosphere is quite good and people are super friendly 😊

Great food , great service I can't wait to go back

We had bottomeless brunch on Saturday. Service was so good and they were really generous with the drinks even though it was really busy. We were served by Tasha - she was so good asked for her name so could leave a review!!

Dining Experience @ The Bay Horse Tavern. . Styled as a modern take on the humble pub, they quickly picked up awards for their delicious restaurant-quality dishes served in a cozy setting. . Ambience has plenty of classic pub character, including an antique feature fireplace, and decorated mantelpieces. The main bar on the ground floor features mustard-coloured chesterfields and teal banquettes, with tiled floors and a dartboard. Pop downstairs to find a cozy and intimate dining space, flanked by the open kitchen. . Service is friendly and efficient. Staff take and fulfil orders quickly, cleaning up efficiently when diners leave. Very welcoming, they also accomodate families with children. . Food is classic British English pub grub, from grazing plates to quick bites. Ingredients are locally sourced, dishes prepared from scratch. There's a good range of craft beers. Portions are medium sized for individuals. Prices are reasonable, budget about GBP £19 per person. . The Beer Bay Horse Pilsner (GBP £5.70) is the house craft brew, a refreshing tipple. . The Beef Steak & Ale Pie (GBP £12.50) features a medium-sized pie, with a flaky pastry pie crust dough carrying bready sweet savoury buttery flavour. . Within are chunks of beef chuck steak, white onions, and diced carrots, slow-braised with ale and beef gravy till everything turns tender and juicy, resulting in robust meaty salty savoury flavour. . The pie is garnished with crispy fried shallots, lending a light crunch and vegetal salty savoury flavour. . Served with creamy smooth mashed potato with starchy sweet savoury flavour, and chunky gooey mushy peas with vegetal grassy earthy sweet flavour. Completed with more beef gravy on the side.

Are the Kardashians really booking your place out?

Yes, what lovely booze and dashing . Yes! The vibes accentuated. Let's jazz together in the basement. Best Bottomless in Manchester. Callum you beauty, 😘

One of the newer pubs on the strip, doesn't have the same feel as some of the older establishments. Wouldn't be my first choice but worth a visit if you in the area

Don't go if you can't pay with card and not cash. Trying to keep old atmosphere by having a darts board and pie and mash but at £6:40 pint Camden Helles did not stay after first drink.

There are regular offers on food/drink in The Bay Horse, so it’s worth popping in for decent scran and a great pint of Guinness. I like the food presented here, whether on offer or not and like to visit a couple of times a month.

Great atmosphere, good service and delicious pie!

Lovely food and great service from Rob

Just popped in for a quick drink and stayed for at least four! It was buzzing and busy. The DJ's were fantastic, friendly and the music was awesome. Their first night there too. A great venue. Been many times

Bar très chaleureux. La cuisine est bonne et l'ambiance est vraiment sympa. Nous y sommes allés pour un bottomless brunch et avons même eu le droit à des bouteilles offertes parceque le service de nos plats à été un peu long. Très cool pour passer une soirée dans le northern

Great staff. Jamie was friendly and helpful. Very pleasant staff and environment very convenient from the bus station.

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Bay Horse Tavern. My work team and I came for their pub quiz but booked a table to have dinner beforehand. We sent in a pre-order as we were a large group and the staff were very accomodating and friendly when we arrived. Our food was served quickly too and it was absolutely delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were left very happy. As we were joining the pub quiz, we were seated downstairs near the kitchen which meant we had to go upstairs to the bar for drinks. This wasn't really an issue, but it would have been convenient if their QR code worked or had wait staff so we didn't have to constantly go up and down. The pub quiz was also very fun, we all had a great time!

Lovely food, great service. Nice welcoming staff.

If I had to choose between world peace and a roast at the Bay Horse Tavern I would choose a roast at the Bay Horse Tavern

We came on a Wednesday for the 50% off deal. The food was great and brilliant value for money but the service was slow and good slightly cold.

Bottomless hash browns and drinks, need I say more
