The Beagle in Manchester

Very lovely pizzas reasonably priced. It is a sort of cafe, where you order at the table.

Used to be an amazing bar. Now it is a money hungry wanna be Francisco burger.

Good local spot fot a chilled drink and a slice of pizza

Great place, great food and amazing staff thank you for a great night

Can't go wrong with the beagle. Quick friendly service, great food, nice atmosphere.

Pizza not bad apart from only having slices and no full pizzas. Some of the staff are absolutely lovely yet this isn't the case for all of them unfortunately. Some really young servers with really big attitudes. Just went from 5 ⭐️ to 3⭐️ for this fact

I went in to pick up a take out pizza and waited over 20 mins at which point the bar man said he'd find out what was happening he came out and said my pizza had exploded but they were making a new one. He went back to the kitchen and came out a minute later with a cold pizza! They clearly hadn't made a new one so no explosions then? A piss take on 2 counts. Those pizzas are expensive so the least they can do is show some respect and bring it out warm!

I don't usually like going out for Pizza but have come around to it lately largely as a result of Nells. This isn't a salad on your pizza/overpriced wine/eat your pizza with a knife and fork type of place. This is a New York pizza/beer/hang out type of place. The "do you roni honey" is by far the best we have had and the pizza bases are incredible. We were less impressed by the "cugine" and buratta pizzas which were okay but lacking in flavour somewhat. We usually order a half-half so we can try more than one type, but after mild disappointment with the other styles we will be sticking with "do you roni honey" from now on. The pizzas are humungous and easily feed 3-4 people. The price is a little steep compared to other places in Chorlton that offer a more formal restaurant style meal for a similar price but if you are looking for a good pub/pizza place to go with friends - this is hard to beat.

Great pub/bar hybrid. Pizzas are suffering from shrink-flation but still very tasty. Staff are lovely and drinks are good

Lively atmosphere. Friendly staff and good selection of beer

The pizzas were tasty and imaginative. Lots of good veggie options too. Unfortunately, the music was atrocious and bad enough to put us off our food. It was ultimate elevator music and when we complained we were told it was a corporate decision from whoever owns The Beagle franchise and they were not allowed to change. Won’t be coming back 🙁

25/04/24: Northern Monk Brewery: Faith x Peach pale ale 29/07/23: Red Willow Brewery: Breakfast Stout 5.6%, Kirkstall Brewery: Apricot sour 4.5% and Northern Monk Brewery: Guava Have Faith, guava hazy pale ale 4% 08/10/22: been here many times on the Chorlton Ale Trails, but not for quite some time. Previously known as Ostara, Charango, Scotts Hill and now The Beagle. I've frequented Chorlton from as far back as the last 1980's. In a recent request asking if they were still dog friendly, they replied "please bring dogs". Definitely dog friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Great, fantastic open plan lower tier area, glass fronted, airy and very relaxing. Fantastic choice of craft ales and were more than helpful in suggesting and giving tasters of new brews. They also boast Nells Pizza. It's delicious, although we opted for one slice after a large breakfast (elsewhere) as opposed to the 14 or 22 inch pizzas they also offer. The 'Do you like Roni Honey' was amazing! N'duja and pepperonifrom Cobble Lane, tomato sauce, mozzarella and finished with chilli honey and parmasan.

Always great food and atmosphere! They usually have great music, but recently had a terrible DJ that was going awful remixes of 90s and 00s song like Millshake 😂. If they stuck to the usual neo jazz soul djs a d playlists and the cool jazzy bands they have then its perfect 🙌

Great spot to have Nell's pizza

Good food and reasonably priced drinks :) Very nice staff!

Popped in after a long walk and despite it being busy we managed to find a seat. Grabbed a huge pizza to share and dipping sauces. Very tasty and a success. Got drinks from the bar but very expensive. Got two lemonades and it cost £9!

Still some of the best pizza you can get in Manchester for sure. Great, friendly staff too. However, the price of beer and drinks is a big let down. £3 for a half-pint of coke and upwards of £7 for some (good but not incredible) pints is madness and should not be normalised.

We met friends here and booked a table staff were really helpful and professional. We had the vegan massive pizza it was delicious.

This is how to do a pub/bar. Great staff, beers, tunes, atmosphere and pizzas. I feel extremely fortunate having this as my local pub!

Staff was really friendly and accommodating. Service was quick and efficient so we could enjoy our meal in 90 mins. Do feel for a table of 4 the turn around time should be 2 hours (industry standard) but, overall good experience.

Starting with the positives: friendly staff behind the bar, pizzas were nice (Hawaiian was good, shroom with a view could've been more saucy but that's my preference) and came out quickly, excellent half price deal to boot! It's a lovely venue. Now for the rest. Booked in at short notice, but realised we might be slightly late so called up to let them know and to see if we can shift our booking. The way this was handled was very much "computer says no" with a patronising attitude educating us on how the booking system works when I asked about alternative solutions. Didn't want to lose our deposit so rushed and got there 4 minutes late, and was reminded again (by the same colleague who answered the phone) the table was needed back - this was in 86 minutes time and we got asked if we still wanted to sit down? The place filled up but even as we left there were a good number of tables sitting empty for the duration of our visit. It might've been the case that all were booked in and due to turn up very shortly after we left but even so, this whole experience could have been handled so much better. I work in hospitality and appreciate it isn't always the best gig but we don't really know what we did to incur this lad's wrath. Hopefully a one-off, but I'll probably stick to Common next time.

Amazing place, dead friendly staff, incredible pizza. Will definitely visit again

Great place, we visited here for Nell’s pizza. You can order at the bar or via a QR code. Both drinks and pizza came quickly. The pizza was delicious, staff friendly and we will definitely be back!

The beagle is one of my favourite places to eat at and work at as a DJ! Lovely food, lovely people :) Nell’s is by far my favourite pizza in town!

I had a wonderful experience here. Food was well priced, quantity was good & the pizza was tasty. The atmosphere was good & the team were friendly. None of really enjoyed our drinks that much. The cocktails were too sweet, my GnT wasn’t the best & the beer selection wasn’t great. I would go back for food & vibes, but not to drink.

Roni x original cheese and Sousa material pizza x best one

Great pizza, staff, serice, beers, tunes.

Great Pizza Slices and Frozen Margaritas

I haven’t been to this bar in a few years and what a transformation. From a busy brunch spot to a cold lifeless bar. We came in the early evening to try the pizza. On arrival it was very quiet, a couple of other tables, all sat in the conservatory. It was a cold, wet day and the door was wide open. I was hoping for a bit of warmth! We sat at a nice table and got drinks from the bar. I had a margarita which was fine but nothing special tbh. We ordered the N’duja pizza and a garlic bread. The garlic bread came first and it was tasty. Unfortunately the bottom was burnt black and was very unpleasant tasting. I ate around it best I could. The pizza arrived and it looked nice. I found the base very bready. I felt it wasn’t fresh? Perhaps frozen? I should have asked, my bad. The pizza was just ok, nothing special unfortunately. They had ice cream sandwiches and I love those! I tried the red velvet one. I’m happy to report that it was very tasty. When it came I thought it was a bit small but it turned out to be the perfect size for my appetite. Again it wasn’t made fresh but came in a cute wrapper with the factory production dated printed on it. I dunno, I prefer fresh food when eating out. All the food was served on paper plates (the pizza came on a baking tray) which made me feel as if I were at a child’s dinner party. I thought it was pretty cheap, I prefer to eat from real plates if I’m paying to eat somewhere! Staff were friendly, but the barman wasn’t very knowledgeable, couldn’t make an Ameretto sour Overall, I would go back for a pint and perhaps get my pizza elsewhere. Plenty of good pizza spots in Chorlton.

A nuanced and alternative venue with a homely decor. A wide selection of drinks with a variety of music in a comfortable environment, and a blissful atmosphere. The type of place that exemplifies the bohemian and naturalistic sights and vibe of Chorlton.

Great live music on a Wednesday, good pizza

Lovely beer but it’s 9:30pm and the music is so loud I can’t hear what my friends are saying, so what’s the point

Excellent Gluten Free pizza ! Amazing selection of craft beers, worth a visit

We went in for a drink as we'd never been in before, the weather was mixed so we had a couple of drinks and we kept on getting a waft of pizza, so we decided to check them out, they were not all your regular toppings but we decided to have the cheese and onion pie one which was recommended by one of the staff, its was amazing, the service was great too and we will be back at some point

Really great pizzas, would go again.

Pizza was lovely, margaritas were great too. Went on the bank holiday so it was quite busy but will certainly go back!

The best pizza in Manchester. Honestly it’s the best. Don’t buy it by the slice you have to get a whole one fresh, but nowhere else is as good as this, nowhere I’ve eaten locally, nowhere I’ve eaten in Manchester, nowhere I’ve eaten in Italy. Honestly scarcely a day has gone by when I haven’t thought about how good this pizza is. Can’t wait to go back.

Great venue / lovely staff / great atmosphere the only thing I would say is they need to ask the cleaner to check the ladies toilets/ skirting boards need a good clean and needs some paint work as looks a bit tired and slightly dirty - deep clean .

Visited for the first time in a while hoping to see a few gluten free options. Disappointing to see that this hasnt happened, aside from a couple of small sides (Olives, meats) Still no gluten-free options on the menu.

Great for all occasions, very family friendly

Fantastic food (Nell's pizza), great choice of drinks and can't be beaten in terms of seating areas; decent smoking, dining and drinking areas 👌🏻

Love this place, pizza is decent not spectacular and I wish they still served a variety of food like they used to but I still like it for its choice of craft beers

First visit to this bar and Paulicarus probably will not be back. Only 1 real ale, Thornbridge Lucaria, a 6% Ice Ceam Stout which is too strong for both of us. A second pump was sold out. Lots of strong craft keg beers and a couple of normal strength house beers. Pizzas seem to be popular here. Card only so loses a star for that alone. Sun trap conservatory plus a couple of outside tables.

Pizza was amazing and dirt cheap at lunch, good selection of beers too.

Pizza was alright, but I expected it to be better for the price. The service was friendly. It was very stuffy inside. Kid friendly.

Great beer. Food wise they just do pizza now, but you come here for the beer.

Came for a drink here after Arctic Monkeys. Lively and decent beers on tap.

Vikki is ace, give her a pay rise

Nice place and pizza but … ordered a Bramble which I order everyone and came frozen. Full of ice. Taste of 0 alcohol and told waitress and she said ‘go to bar and tell them’ bar queue was huge … pointless

The pizza is to die for! I'd recommend the mozzarella with tomato sauce

The best pizza in Manchester. Honestly it’s the best. Don’t buy it by the slice you have to get a whole one fresh, but nowhere else is as good as this, nowhere I’ve eaten locally, nowhere I’ve eaten in Manchester, nowhere I’ve eaten in Italy. Honestly scarcely a day has gone by when I haven’t thought about how good this pizza is. Can’t wait to go back.

Love this place! great food and great service

Amazing pizzas, beers and great staff. Highly recommend

No breakfast But lovely pizza i came for breakfast So i was disapointed But if you are looking for pizza it is good

This the best bar ever. Because I got a free strawberry slushy because someone accidentally dropped a tray on me and that's why, Victoria that gave me the slushy was lovely. This is the best time at a bar in my life. Imogen aged 8

Second time of going here and it's such a decent place. The pizza is amazing, there's a great selection of beers and the staff are ace! Thanks

Card only - KEEP CASH ALIVE!! Also the person in charge of your menu doesn't realise that a pizza to share literally costs more than 2x personal pizzas despite being smaller - learn maths!

Love this place, excellent beer and pizza and chilled atmosphere

Yo Beagle! If I wanted to be ignored all night, cleaned up after the previous customers and wiped my own table I'd have got a dominos and stayed at home with the wife. I'd have saved £45 too.

Great pizza by the slice and cracking often changing selection of beers. Lovely staff complete the picture.

Great selection of beer and superb (huge!) pizzas. Well worth a visit.

Went for the massive 22 inch pizzas provided by Nells, with 50% off in January it's hard to resist. Decent boozer with a vast array of beers and ales and super friendly staff.

Sound comfortable bar. Pizza is very popular here. Crowd seems to be 30+ quite atmospheric and great for a pale ale. Outdoor seating areas. Friendly staff. Can order at bar or on app. Cashless bar.

We had the buratta pizza and I am officially addicted to it! I think its the best pizza I have ever had 😍

Delicious food, amazing 50% off offer at the moment. Lovely beer too

Great beer and nice vibe. Shame they don't do the veggie breakfasts anymore.

Great selection of craft ale and beer. Friendly atmosphere and always busy. Pizza offering particularly good. Although it's New York style so don't expect puffy neapolitan crusts etc. Nowt wrong with that though! Also do massive 22 inchers, but mostly a novelty - £ per cm2 is barely any better than a standard 14.

Great atmosphere Nice selection of beers on tap Great bar overall

Great atmosphere. Will go again. Great music and fantastic ales

Pizzas gigantes para cuatro personas, la masa muy buena autentico Italian style, y muy buen precio.

Great bar! Great service! Dan especially!

I’m not sure whether I had dinner in a bar that serves pizza or a pizzeria where you don’t have to eat and can just get a drink. The lines blur. The company that runs the Beagle, and two other sites in Manchester, also produces the pizza - Nell’s Pizza. There’s good ethics here – an interest in the local and sustainable. So, the flour for the pizza dough is organic. The meat comes from the excellent Heaton Chapel butchers, Littlewoods. Unlike most British pizza, which is based on the Neapolitan style, Nell’s says its pizza is in the New York style. Now, I confess to not knowing what difference that might be and, having eaten there, still don’t know for sure. The difference I noted is the pizza is very thin – so thin that it doesn’t retain the heat and the last third of the pizza was effectively eaten cold. And there’s not a sign of crispness to the dough. Maybe that’s how New Yorkers like It but it’s not an improvement on how most places cook their pizza. It’s a shortish pizza menu. Three pizzas use meat, the other eleven suitable for vegetarians or vegans. One takes you back to the interest in “local”, with their “cheese and onion pie” flavoured pizza. As they say, a Northern classic – my partner’s mother used to bake a lovely cheese and onion pie. There’s the sweetness of cooked onions and Lancashire cheese is used alongside mozzarella and parmesan. Roast garlic and chives provide a bit of an "edge” to it. More straightforward was the “Original Cheese” – tomato sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. Flavours were fine. Texture wasn’t. No need to rush back.

The Beagle is fantastic. Friendly bar staff, excellent array of beverages and mighty fine pizza.

Incredible NY style pizza for great value, friendly staff and delicious cocktails.

Good bar with a nice selection of beers. They also have Nells pizza which is delicious. Coming here for a pint and a slice is a must do

Great pizza, drinks are pricey though

Really lovely afternoon for my daughters 50th,staff were fantastic and pizza was lovely. I believe alcohol was quite expensive but I don't drink it so not a problem for me.

Great service, great food, good times

Great pub with bookable mezzanine. Excellent pizza

Staff lovely, good, vibe, music was way too loud for me and very cold even indoors

Wonder bar & wonder pizzas. The playlist is absolute perfection too 🤌

Great pizza either by the slice or whole one or a big one to share. Great beer choice too. 👌

Great pub in Chorlton, one of our favourites. Good service and alcohol. Nice atmosphere. I don't think the pizzas are as good as my friends do to be honest, but the fact you can order by the slice is a game changer. Regularly stop by on dog walks.

Really helpful staff, Nells pizzas were great, super fast delivery too. Craft beer list as long as my arm. Good, laid back atmosphere.

Amazing pizzas here! Especially the Vegan Mushroom, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!!

I visited here just as a one off and asked the bar staff member, who was pleasant and polite, what non alcoholic, non sparkling, drinks they have. She listed the juices Orange, Pineapple, Cranberry. I chose Pineapple, this was put into a tumbler, and filled up. Charged at £2.50. I was presented with the card machine and I asked if they take cash. The woman said that they don't and apologized. I am not impressed. Especially as a little while later during my drinking I looked up and there were fruit flies on the glass. I was with my girlfriend and after she came back from the toilets. She was pleased with the fact that they have women's toiletries free for use. However they do not have any equivalent items for men or trans-persons. Something that would not of occured to me unless she had pointed it out.

Went there in a Friday night and it was a busy weekend but still got our orders quickly than expected.....Good place to enjoy and have fun

Massive Pizza by the slice or if your hungry go for a full one. They are really big though. Excellant craft beers good selection of wines . On the whole a good place to be even if it does get crowded. Also they have a happy hour serving drinks at reduced prices. I reckon this is when its really the busiest .

I could (and more or less do) eat at this place everyday. Do yourself a favour and try the “Do you Roni Honey” with the jalapeño lime dip or if you don’t eat meat the greens is stunning too. Come here all the time and never been disappointed. Staff are great drinks are great, also if you catch the quiz that’s super fun too:)

DJ Ryan banger after banger sick night, list of drinks was mega

Amazing music this evening... not been here for a while but stayed for these tunes xx 9/7/22

Lovely terrace, nice drinks, great atmosphere

If you like a choice of real ales and sharing pizzas then look no further. The pizzas come in 14 and 22 inch. We had 2x22 and 1 at 14 between 6 people and we couldn’t finish them they kindly boxed what was left. The bar has a lovely atmosphere worth a visit.

Since it changed to pizza this is a great place with a great relaxing atmosphere. Pizza is great. Fancy a nice relaxing pint and few slices of pizza in a large open space, this is the place for you. Either with mates or the kids

Big fan… spenny for beers though!

Nice atmosphere and various beers available !

The service was elite, the pizza stunning, Ryan one of the chefs was a dream come true and mine and my friends night has been so good because of how nice the pizza was and how good the vibes are, thanks beagle and thanks Ryan 😋

Lovely cocktails, staff behind bar and great pizza. 👍

Good selection of beers. Spacious and relaxed. Helpful staff.
