The Cosy Club - Manchester in Manchester

Koselig fin perle mitt i Manchester by. Hyggelige servitører, god mat og ålreit interiør. Kan ta noe tid innimellom før man får en servitør til bordet, men de kommer alltid med et smil om munnen når de tar bestillinger 😊

We had a family meal on a Sunday afternoon. The starters arrived nearly an hour after ordering and were cold, some went back. At the same time 9 of the 12 mains were served, 3 were missing. We asked and then had to wait for them being cooked, 20 minutes later eat on our own. Kinda spoilt the family meal. Never going back. Avoid

very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere but they really fall down with the gluten free dinner options. had to change my order three times as things were not in stock (and i was already choosing from a very limited menu!). the real shocker was that the nduja butter beans are marked as vegetarian, but upon asking, the kitchen said they weren’t actually veggie - sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen! they’ve got fantastic options for lunch and brunch, so i’d suggest an all day veggie brunch - or at least just bring back the veggie gf burger!!

Great Guinness and service from the two gents at the bar. The interior is cozy and well heated, if I was staying for longer I would have gone for the bartenders choice or one of the cocktails

Amazing vibe, plus they managed to sort us out with amazing company as well as treated us to a good night with a free drink for my parents. The service was phenomenal and made us feel welcomed as if we were at home.

We went here for a late breakfast/brunch for convenience really because of the location - and it looked busy which we thought (wrongly) would be a good sign. First off, the entranceway is really filthy, the staircase is rotten with wallpaper peeling off and it just looks really shabby (should have walked straight out at that point but we were starving). We ordered breakfasts, one of our party specifically asked for a runny yolk on her fried egg, simple enough request you would think! I asked for my tea to come with my food rather than being served straight away. So, the food arrives and we have a hard yolk. We politely asked for another egg, the waitress looked baffled as to why, but we explained - again - about the runny yolk. Second egg comes out, also solid. We asked for some water, it never came. We gave up at this point and just got on with it. My tea never materialised and I had to ask for it to be taken off the bill. No apology or acknowledgement of the drink or egg cock-ups whatsoever - the waitress who cleared our table looked like she would rather be anywhere else than doing her job (badly I might add). Just a rubbish experience from start to finish. Also, the ‘rosti’ on the breakfast was rank, unsure if it was meant to be potato of some kind but it was like a brick and tasted gross. I don’t know if they were short staffed but the service was woeful and the food was bang average. Would definitely not recommend.

Excellent staff, very friendly and had good food recommendations. Food was so delicious, I ate GF as I have an allergy and was very happy with my food. I got the Salmon and green beans as a side and the lemon posset for dessert.

Arrived without a table being booked, Alex who was wonderful advised a couple hadn’t arrived for their booked table and we could have it if we waited another 10 mins. We got a table, service was great as well as the food and drinks. Thank you ☺️

Incredible experience. The food was exceptional and the service was fast and friendly. Chris made us feel right at home and not rushed at all. Will absolutely be back again :)

Cool vibes. Exposed brick, arched windows, jazz music. A spontaneous date with my fiancé, recommended by work friends. Originally part of Manchester's Corn Exchange, and it shows - they've kept the windows, tiles, staircases, and everything they can of the old building. It's a beautiful spot tucked away in the CE. The waiter for our section was Chris, who was attentive, caring, generally super lovely and made a good night better. STARTERS Bread to share for the table - sourdough with butter topped with rock salt. Simple but effective in its brilliance. My fiancé has flatbreads with lemon and basil infused hummus. I don't like hummus at all so can't comment on this, but he seemed more than happy. I had the garlic and paprika prawns with smoked paprika butter and toasted sourdough. If I could bottle the feeling I got after one bite of this and keep it forever as a memento, I would. Each round of sourdough was small enough that I could place a whole prawn with one in my mouth at once, and it was a glorious burst of prawn and paprika that honestly will haunt me if I don't have it again. A great start to a fantastic three-course. MAINS My fiance opted for the pan fried sea bass with leek, bacon and peas, cooked in white wine cream with roasted new potatoes. The fish was really tender, skin was crispy as it should've been, and the sauce was extremely rich, but it paid off; a beautiful combination of white wine and fish that can only be described as a classic on a menu as lavish as this. I had paprika-spiced chicken on a bed of chorizo, spinach, tomatoes, garlic aioli, (what I believe to be) pickled red cabbage, and twice-roasted new potatoes. I don't normally like pickled cabbage at all, but I trust a chef more than my own senses, and it paid off; it cut through rich paprika and spice in a beautiful way. The chicken was a highlight - my only complaint is that there was a little too much, and it felt like I had to leave some to the side (although I admit this was probably an issue for me only and may be due to my choice of starter). The twice-roasted potatoes were also phenomenal; some were soft, which was good enough as it was, but some were beautifully crispy and cut through a lot of the softer items in the dish. DESSERTS Both of us had the miso caramel custard tart, made by a chef in Bristol and adopted onto the Cosy Club menu. I had hot chocolate to finish. The tart was incredible; the miso gives it a really nice, rich unami flavour, without being too overpowering. I can see why it was adopted. Chris had recommended it and we were correct to trust him - it was beautiful and a brilliant way to round off a great night. All in all, thank you so much to the staff for the beautiful food, phenomenal service, and a five star night!

Lovely atmosphere, great service & great cocktail deals!

Popped in Saturday morning (21/9/24), for breakfast with my daughter. Attentive, friendly service from all staff, lovely food and a great atmosphere, would definitely visit again

Great food and staff were friendly, nice busy but not overwhelming vibe. Recommended.

Went for brunch today. Party of 9 .Arrived at 11am. Orders taken quickly. 11.45 after complaining ,my classic English breakfast arrived. Cold plate ,cool overcooked bacon, tiny fried egg. Cool sausage and baked beans, inedible mushroom and two tiny pieces of toast with virtually no butter. It was dreadful With a pot if tea ,delivered to the table at 11.15am the cost was £17 30p. Supposed to be going on Sunday morning but cancelled booking. Never again!

Absolutely great service from Ash, she went out of her way for that extra mile. Especially on our Anniversary. Food was fabulous. All staff were kind and friendly. 10/10

Sad little breakfast for £13. Forgot my eggs, no apologies. I asked to swap my avocado for halloumo she said it’s fine but charged me anyway after breakfast because “she forgot to say it’s not ok” which how come it’s my mistake ?? The worst experience

Went for for the first time today. They brought our mains to the table, when we said that we had not had our starters yet do you think they took them back and then cooked fresh dishes after our starters, or just put them on the hot plate for 20 min. We'll the 1 star food review says it all ?

Amazing 2 for 1 cocktails. Able to choose two different ones. Love the atmosphere

Called in for a juice on a visit to Manchester recently but loved the setting so much we went back for breakfast. My avocado on toast with tomatoes was delicious, as was my coffee - not easy to find a decent one in Manchester. Loved the decor bad convenience to the shops.

No knife and fork on table, dirty glasses for the water, no toilet roll in ladies, food greasy and mustard based sauce on my gluten free burger made me extremely unwell!

As previously been to a cosy club in York, we visited here for a few drinks before going for a meal elsewhere. The staff were friendly and on the ball. Cocktails and drinks very reasonable for being city centre. We sat outside as weather was brilliant, and was advised no food was served outside only inside wasn't a problem for us. Would go back again.

Cosy is cosy as always ..... Tried them at Milton Keynes and the same atmosphere at Manchester. Manchester Cosy recommended for afternoon tea and coffee break ☕️ 🫖

Superb breakfast, thoroughly enjoyed it

The Spanish chicken was lovely with the flavour of the chicken having dripped down onto everything beneath, the cubes of chorizo added a good saltiness to the more delicate vegetables. They have an online allergy menu however it hadn't been completely updated with filters as I could see it was different to the physical menu which included an item with nuts in.

Really tasty food in comfy and classy decor. The steaks were too rare for the medium order but this was swiftly corrected. Can't fault the service. Polite, friendly and good chat. Couldn't do enough for us. Helped my daughter have a great end to her graduation. Even provided with free bubbly to help celebrate. Easily dealt with dietary requirements.

Always a lovely place to meet up with friends, comfortable seating and warm atmosphere

A great decoration, with a view of Manchester Cathedral and good food. The waiters are very friendly.

Excellent drinks, some of the best in Manchester. We ate only 3 starters of which the best by far was the pulled pork croquettes.

Excellent service, lovely venue. Food very average (poached eggs overdone, hardly no feta) and table was a bit sticky.

Tasty food and always enjoy the cocktails!

Gluten free menu available. Service was very good, also the food. I would visit again. Recommended.

Came here on Sunday morning for breakfast for the last day of my sisters hen do. Great food, great service! I can't remember the name of the lady that served us unfortunately but she was great. Definitely recommend this place.

Went for breakfast in Manchester restaurant, the dirty breakfast bun and cocktails were amazing. Great staff, very helpful providing recommendations.

Had the butchers brunch. Could have been hotter, but beautiful good quality grub.

I've had good meals at Liverpools Cosy Club , but I'm very disappointed with the one at. Manchester. The chips were overcooked and cold, the slaw was dry and burger undercooked.

We went for breakfast, it had a huge variety of options for the sweet and savory. The service was fast. The drinks were lovley. The food was incredible and reasonabley priced. Sitting outside made such a difference.

terrible experience, very heavy sandwich and not tasty at all. I strongly advise against it!

A fabulous place to dine in Manchester lovely atmosphere friendly staff amazing food and choice of drinks I visit on a regular basis 😀

I visited with my partner on Sunday 26th May for tea, the food was so delicious and fresh , 😋 the drinks too were also very nice, staff were all very friendly and attentive and helpful especially in directing us to another area of the restaurant to view manchester city parade made our date even more special. Thank you so much to all the staff there especially the manager 💙

Very nice , food amazing ,drinks 👌

Loads of gluten free options and we were well looked after

Are whole breakfast waiting for drinks. Asked twice. "They are coming" both times. Proper ruined breakfast! Came after we finished, and we aTE SLOW

We arrived at 5:55 for a 6pm booking and was advised our table would be ready at exactly 6pm so we took a seat in the bar and went back at 6pm. Once we had ordered we waited 1 hour 15 min for the food to arrive. The mocktails that we had were delicious but the food definitely wasn't worth that wait and I found the burger lacked seasoning. When we asked staff about the food they said it can take a while

Excellent food and great personnel

Alex was brilliant. Very kind and took good care of us!

Thank you for a lovely meal, Alex gave us great service

Friendly staff great service, thanks Alex, we'll be back xx

We were super early, but Alex was absolutely superb greeting us and making sure our small bridal party could be seated promptly! He even treated us to some bubbly which was a special touch! We will be back again! 😁

Saturday lunch, the place was rammed, mainly it must be said with women in large parties. Bizarre victoriana ambiance. Good service. Food pleasant enough

It was the first and last time here. Service is awful I asked for my table to be cleaned and the staff ignored us. Prices are high I order an smoothie and they even didn’t make it . It was a tesco smoothie they just put in a glass. Chips I ordered smell like used oil no salt and sauce on the table , don’t waste your money going there 👎

Always have the best nights here, excellent bar and restaurant.

Started to come to this venue quite often for breakfast. It’s located in the Corn Exchange and accessed by some stairs - there’s also a lift available. There’s a fantastic bar area with views over the exchange floor and the amazing skylight. The pub is decorated in ye olde style with old portraits and animal heads. Tbh I found the heads in poor taste and a bit disturbing. The dining area has lovely views over the cathedral grounds and has a lovely cosy atmosphere. Service is always quick and friendly, this week we were served by Leona (sorry if I have spelt this wrong!) who was awesome. We ordered coffees and the ‘Butchers Breakfast’ Drinks came quickly and were very nice. I really like their coffee. I had a latte and a fresh OJ. They actually do freshly squeezed OJ, not just the carton stuff! Breakfast came in very good time and was delicious. I particularly love their beans, so tasty! Also the quality of meat is very high, bacon and sausages 100% banging. I haven’t eaten any main meals here yet but I’m defo gonna try asap! This is my new fave place for breakfast and they serve till 4pm so, brunch ahoy!

It’s style over substance here, the food was ok but the service was poor, the server didn’t even make eye contact or even mutter a thank you when we paid. It was expensive for the pleasure too, really disappointing.

I don't normally have strongly negative opinions about places but my experience here managed to illicit that from me. The service was very bad - we waited almost 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order (despite it being very slow). The hummus wasn't good, the open face goats cheese sandwich was okay, the sweet potato fries were served cold and limp, and the pancakes were actively very bad (tough and served with wilted, wrinkled blueberries with stems still on). Really not a good experience at all. I won't be back again and would not recommend.

Me and my brother came to manchester for the weekend and came into the city on Sunday. We thought it would be a great idea to get a light snack here. They took 20 minutes to give us our drinks. We both ordered the chicken salad sandwich with fries. It took an hour to come. Fries were wet and cold, sandwich absolutely dolloped in mayonnaise. not to mind the staff, they were a disgrace, cared about others but not us and cared more about the positioning of the chairs than us. We will never ever be coming again and this is not how a business should be ran

Friendly staff and good service in a dramatic setting. Food was fine if unmemorable.

Staff super available and helpful, book on spot because of peak

Nice location Foods ok it’s nice nothing more Staff however are brilliant Thank you

Brunch here was delicious, I went with my mum and sister and we all really enjoyed our food. There's a good range of things on the menu to choose from, the staff were really friendly and it's a cool building and atmosphere. Would definitely go back

Service was slow but food was great

Nice food to help with the hangover staff were nice. Just a bit cold where we ate but that's the only negative

My husband and I love this place. The food is amazing, the staff are very helpful and the decor is just awesome. We often eat here when we go into Manchester. We try other places, but they don't measure up so we eat here more often than not. We usually drop in without a booking but this one particular occasion recently, we didn't have a booking but they didn't quite have the availability. Massive shout out to a really nice guy who's name escapes me - I think it was Alex or maybe Andy (sorry!) who saw how disappointed I was and managed to pull a few strings and fit us in. Great service. Thanks!

The food was very good and the service was great, thanks to Dylan the waiter who took care of us!

Wow where do i begin. First time visiting and will definately be returning. The food was amazing, i cannot remember the last time i had a meal and enjoyed everything so much like i did here. The cherry bakewell cocktail is to die for. Staff so lovely and helpful.

Great place for pre Arena meal.

The whole experience was first class. Fabulous entrance bang on point smart decor, excellent food and very friendly staff, added bonus of being very dog friendly. Highly recommended. P.s My wife will have a better understanding of how to use your lift next time 😆

Lovely place - really cosy decor, super friendly staff, possibly the best seabass I've ever had!

Stopped for a quick lunch on my hen/ also friends birthday. The waitress was lovely and offered us both a complimentary glass of fizz. We were both hungover so opted for a soft drink! But these were knocked off the bill. Small touch but really thoughtful, something no one offers anymore. Food was great as well really tasty and good vegan options for my friend. Highly recommend

Nice place and the staff were friendly. Service slow however. Had to leave before having pudding as we we had to wait so long to get someone’s attention to order it. The broccoli starter VERY poor; expensive and tasteless. £8 for about 5 thin droopy broccoli twigs ( AVOID). Food ok, not the best.

Decent food, nice place, kind staff. However, they didn't clean the table, and we didn't like the coffee.

What a gem! After a string of expensive chain restaurants serving identikit meals, the Cosy Club was a real find. Friendly service, and simple but excellent food freshly made full of quality ingredients. Although it is a chain, it feels like an independent with real character and quality.

Brunch. Bottomless….. Heather… your awesome pick her for your server she will keep the speed of drinks coming like the speed of light! Thanks heather we wil be back… oh and Alex your awesome too x also gf friendly for food and bloody Mary’s

We love heather... If you get the option of bottomless brunch with heather she is ace .. loadsa drinks and Alex is awesome too! We love his jacket! Yes!

We recently had a wee holiday to Manchester and Cosy Club became my safe haven for a coeliac friendly breakfast ❤️ We were already a fan of Cosy Club from our previous visit to Manchester but I haven’t been since I was diagnosed as coeliac - my love for this restaurant sky rocketed though with their fantastic service for those who are coeliac. They have a separate gluten free menu (always a huge positive) and the servers ask if you have any allergies/intolerances. On letting them know you are coeliac your order is then taken by the manager on duty. They were so helpful in answering any questions I had and I was able to have an iced matcha latte as they use seperate jugs and other equipment from their oat milk so no cross contamination worries here. The food was absolutely delicious and always set us up for the day. I got GF Smashed avocado with tomato, chilli, lime and gf toast. I added a poached egg and halloumi. I also had the Luscious lemon posset with fresh raspberries, white chocolate (mine did not come with shortbread so was gf). On another day I had the GF Classic breakfast with scrambled eggs - delicious! The atmosphere and decoration is indeed cosy and welcoming and I loved starting our day here, planning where we were going to go. Huge appreciation too for the helpful and friendly staff. Everything is marked with allergen flags or stickers which made me feel extra safe. Highly recommend for those with coeliac ❤️

Fabulous service cocktails and amazing meals including the Steak, Thankyou Beth and the manager for looking after us tonight, we’ll be back,

We came in as a last minute walk in and had an incredible time. Our server Beth was amazing! So friendly and had some really great reccomedations for the food. A real credit to the team

This restaurant was lovely! It’s very rare I eat somewhere and I love everything I get but the food, drinks and service were stellar! The duck cassoulet was spectacular and the apple tarte a lovely end to the dinner but the best part of the evening was Beth! She was our server and an absolute delight! Lovely recommendations, great report with us and above all speedy and attentive service! Beth you were amazing!

We had a lovely English breakfast here ,the food was perfect & the coffee & service was very good,interesting interior & a good vibe

We had a table of 8 for a brunch but Jae to say felt a little let down and found the whole experience underwhelming. Service was slow and other diners arrived and got their food before us, the excuse being it’s more difficult serving larger tables which is nonsense. When our food did arrive it was warm rather than hot, but as we had waited so long and chased them up already, it was not worth sending it all back. We won’t go back and wouldn’t recommend to others. Having said all that, it’s was not expensive - but we would ah r rather paid more for better service and hotter food.

Waited over 40 minutes for our food and noone came to check on us the entire time - not even to check if we wanted morw drinks. However, when they realised they got us a free round of drinks on the house and when the food came it was delicious.

Visited on 13th Feb for food and cocktails. Steaks and sides were delicious, and cocktails were unique and tasted great - the banana espresso martini was especially good. Restaurant and bar service was speedy and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

I was unsure about what to get from the menu but my server Beth helped me make a decision and was very friendly and patient throughout the process. A wonderful experience.

Really cute place. Went for brunch. Huge portion of pancakes and full breakfast. Food was really lovely and staff were very attentive. Would go again

Ate here with 2 friends end of Jan on a Friday. Greig (Northern Ops Manager) sent a lovely worded email to a query I had and a nice discount offered. Gen Manager David very nice to deal with also. Not too busy evening as Peter Kay was in town! Good service, nice times in between courses. I've eaten at a few others but despite a few negative reviews here we had a great night. Our server Olivia was a star and really good! Yes. Definitely be back here next weekend visit to Manc!

This was my third visit for food here. Each time has been excellent! The breakfast/brunch is popular and the place was buzzing on a Tuesday morning. Food arrived quickly and was delicious, I had the vegan full breakfast with extra hash browns 😋. Coffee was good too with oat and soya milks available. My meat eating friends had the pulled pork breakfast and both gave it top marks. Service is fantastic, the staff are really attentive and friendly both at the bar and in the restaurant. Cosy Club is my go-to for brunch now.

Very warm welcome as soon as walked in. Served and looked after by Beth who was so attentive and friendly.The food was so tasty vegan dirty butty wow !!! Latte perfect lovejy experience will be going back and Beth was lovely.

We visited on a Saturday lunch time and reserved a table for four. Even though there was an event at the Arena, we weren’t told we only had the table for an hour. So, at spot on the hour, we were asked to leave & told we didn’t even have time for a coffee. Indeed, we were even told we couldn’t have a coffee in the lounge area. The bill for approximately £85 for a quick lunch for four was presented as we were rushed from the table. The food was fine, but the final service was nothing less than rude. We then moved to a coffee and wine bar in the Corn Exchange who welcomed us for coffee and cocktails for four. Such a shame, but we won’t be visiting again and Cosy Club needs to seriously consider its customer service.

Fantastic with allergies & fantastic food

Fab meal with 2 friends . Lovely email from regional manager Greig and spoke to restaurant manager David to verify offer . Olivia our waitress absolute credit to you . Lovely atmosphere great food - need I say more ! Back on next week visit to super friendly Manc 😂

Great customer service. Friendly and attentive staff. Food lovely and well priced. Will be visiting again 🙌

Where do we even begin. My friend had ordered the classic breakfast and I had ordered the garden brunch and both were as terrible as each other. The breakfast came out cold and the flavours were confusingly bad. Salty and sour were about the only flavours to come out of those plates. Our waiter was lovely though and quite pleasant and sweet and the hot drinks are really good. Classic breakfast: - sausage was stale -toast was cold - bacon…I couldn’t tell if it was pork 😭 - the egg was decent and so were the hash browns; they honestly saved that breakfast -mushrooms…… -yo the beans…I normally don’t like baked beans but it was BUBBLING and spilling out the cup. It looked like someone gargled it up and spat it out. Didn’t go near them at all. My stomach was already going off from the rest of the food. Garden brunch: - Sausage flavour was indescribably strange -BAKED BEANS were frothy as if they were carbonated , don’t know how that’s actually possible. -The rest was just bad…

Staff were super friendly and the decor gives the place loads of personality. Had the butcher's brunch which was way better than I expected. Would definitely recommend!

i asked for extra bacon and got this beautiful monstrosity, single handedly cured my hangover along with any potential future hangovers for the next 10 years. the staff are also extremely knowledgable about allergens and they have a huge gluten free breakfast menu. god bless

We had a great meal, staff were great and food was delicious

We had an amazing experience in the club, the vegan food was delicious and Alex was so professional and friendly! We’ll definitely be back!

Nice scenery but that’s about it. Never had someone mess up poached egg on toast so much. Waited ages, bacon and egg over cooked and cold, could hardly cut through my toast. Would be surprised if the staff even noticed we were there, don’t think we got eye contact once. No one asked how our meal was and I would have sent it back if I hadn’t already waited long enough to get it. Probably a nice enough place for a drink.

We are regulars here at Cosy club and have never had anything bad to say about it, staff are lovely and food is good. Our last visit at around 7pm was the opposite, we arrived and got seated, ordered drinks with a waitress who seemed like she didnt want to be there(checkered shirt and blonde hair). We both work in hospitality and we understand it was busy but the server was rude and after waiting 20 minutes for a bottle of prosecco and no jug of tap water we left. To be honest we both didnt feel good about leaving but how can you charge high end prices and be treated the way we did. We like the restaurant and we hope you take our feedback into account and for anyone who read this our problem is with the specific member of staff.

Arrived and was ushered to a table with my little girl and told someone would be with us shortly. I noted a group of employees huddled chatting by the kitchen. I waited 10 minutes without anyone coming near. Another table received there food and i...

Amazing. Went for lunch on our anniversary. Treated to a glass of fizz by amazing staff. Food mouthwatering dilllelicious. Cannot fault this place.

I normally love going to a Cosy Club, but this is a venue I certainly will not be returning too. Upon arrival the member of the team at the check in desk was on their phone and didn’t acknowledge me straight away, leaving me standing...
