The Beach Dog Cafe in Manchester

Food was lovely, but, we went really to play with the many dogs they look after next door in the dog playroom. It costs little to go in with staff members. You can sit in the quiet area on comfy sofas and stroke the tiny dogs a bit timid or elderly for full on play, it's so relaxing, the dogs will come to you, it's solely up to the animal if it wants to sit with you. They all usually want to. Then you can go play with the dogs. They love to see you. Staff look after you at all times. Its the most brilliant amazing dog experience ever. A million out of ten from my granddaughter. Service and staff brilliant too but the dogs are the stars.

So sad to see the doggy beach Cafe has closed. Went for breakfast this morning but closed up and To Let sign up. Where can I get my doggy fix now?

Spent a lot of effort and petrol getting to this place only to find it closed with a sign on the gate saying ‘industrial unit to let’. Called the number and there was a message saying it was still undergoing refurbishment, but acording to their web site they should have reopend in october. Their website implies they are open. I was bitterly disappointed to have wasted so much time

Travelled across Manchester on recommendation from our daughter. Saturday the 22nd of September, only to find it closed despite the website saying 9 - 5 on Saturdays. Gates appeared locked and no notice or information. Very disappointed as it is a long way to travel (we live in Pembrokeshire) Hence not able to properly review.

My partner and I went for brunch with our 2 boys, the terrier and the in-laws. Food was good quality and prices were reasonable. The resident dogs were wandering around the tables getting the odd treat and attention. You are given dog friendly popcorn to feed them so they aren't given unhealthy food all day. If your family is thinking about owning a dog then this is a great place to bring kids who have never interacted with dogs before. Great for dog-spotting too (12/10 would bring dog to eat here again).

We live in North Yorkshire but were attending a family wedding in the Manchester area so needed someone to look after our little dog for the day. When we got to the Beach Dog Cafe we were a half hour earlier than we'd planned but the doggy day care just took our little one off us anyway. You pass through the Cafe area to get to the doggy day care and the cafe is fenced off so you can be sure that your pet can't run off whenever the entrance/exit is opened. Would love to use the cafe on any future visit ... the pets were so well behaved..!! Of the doggy daycare ... they have so many areas in such a large space, we were immediately put at ease. On picking our little one up - it was obvious she'd had a good day and had probably been spoiled rotten !!

Visited with kids, mother in law and Henry the mutt. Great place, we were greeted by a member of staff who explained how the place works and gave us menus. We visited just to have a bit of lunch and let our dog (who is only 4 months old) meet other dogs in a cafe environment. Tables are set out so you have enough room from other tables, menu has a huge choice of food and drinks. Staff friendly. It was clean and had a lovely friendly atmostphere. Really busy but in a good way, people coming and going and dogs mooching around. Really lovely environment for both humans and dogs- we had a red retriever who liked my little girl and sat with us the whole time. Well worth a visit. 🤗

This was such a lovely place to visit. I was really feeling down so thought would pay a visit. I don't have a dog but you don't need one!! I didn't know what the score was so asked the gentleman that worked there. Sorry, don't know name but black hair and glasses. He was lovely and friendly and took time out to tell me what it was all about. Thank you for that it was really nice of you. There is the cafe that is sectioned off & dog owners (must be on a lead) there maybe a few older dogs that are residents just walking round. You get a tray of popcorn to feed the dogs too which was lovely touch. Then if you wanted to play and pet the dogs that is an extra £5 for 20mins. That is in another area. Worth every penny. I had my lunch and then played with the dogs. I loved it! You can tell they are all looked after. There are dogs there where owners are on holiday and also rescue dogs. It has a grooming place too. If you just wanted a quick snack and drink and a play with some dogs then this is doggy heaven! What a fantastic idea. Can't believe no-one has thought of this before. To all staff at Central Bark/Beach Dog Cafe...Keep up the good work! It's a thumbs up from me!

On Monday July 23rd, my husband and I came to Dog Beach Cafe to have a trial for our puppy for day care. We were so excited to get him signed up and for him to meet so many new doggie friends. As my Husband and I were waiting for our puppy, I noticed a trainer was trying to put a lead on a black fluffy dog, probably to go outside. But she looked really frustrated, and began hitting the black fluffy dog over and over again with the lead. I instantly began to cry. My absolute worst nightmare was coming true. I thought to myself, I need to get my puppy the heck out of this place. All I could think about was the poor dog, and how I would feel if that was my puppy. It made me absolutely sick. After we left I told my husband I wish I never saw it. But we both realized if I didn’t see it our puppy might of been the next one getting hit. With a very heavy heart I will be thinking of that black fluffy dog tonight. I will never in a million years take my dog to the Dog Beach Cafe.

Having read reviews on here I had to visit as soon as possible. All the staff are friendly and the dogs are everything! Food also lovely! Highly recommend!

If you like dogs, if you have a dog, if you haven’t got a dog, if you want a dog .. it’s the place to go. Lots of pooches wandering around to stroke and some are looking for new homes. You can let your dog go and have a play with some new friends for an hour, 1/2 day or a full day. The staff are lovely and the coffee and cake are too. We didn’t eat but the food looked good. You can even pay a fiver and go and stroke and play with loads of dogs. I’ll definitely be back, I loved it.

Needed somewhere to take grace... dogs, food and drink. The food was great and the company even better

When I first heard of this concept I couldn’t believe it, finally one for dogs instead of cats!! As I love dogs as soon as we walked in and to see dogs everywhere it was heaven! It was very hard to concentrate on the menu as my eyes just couldn’t stop following the dogs! The food was really nice here too! After eating we had booked in to play with the dogs in the pen! What a great time we had! The handlers were there at all times with us and keeping an eye on all our feline friends. Love the concept of this place too! Definitely worth the visit if you love your dogs! :)

I'm a regular at weekends, you can take your own dog in the cafe (on a lead) and they have a few dogs that belong to the cafe owners who spend most of their time wandering around freely. You can pay for either your dog or yourself to go into the doggy daycare area for a play or just chill in the cafe where other dogs are bought in to say hello to customers periodically. The menu is good quality and reasonably priced, breakfast, burgers, hot dogs, salads, jackets, sandwiches and panini's, milkshakes and hot drinks.

My partner and I love visitng the dog cafe whenever we have time to, which we wish was more! Not just because we love spending time with the dogs there, but because the coffee is really nice and always made to a high standard. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the owners who run it are lovely people. The food is very nice and excellent value for money, you can also buy a 'woofin' or dog popcorn for you four legged friend.
