The Dockyard in Salford

Considering it was the first night out after lockdown 3, the queue wasn't abysmal. Service and beer was awesome 😁

The staff were very helpful and friendly...food was delicious 😋 toilets were very clear and big

Only had drinks , but was a nice place fir a drink out.

Pretty good pub....not too corporate....door staff were excellent

Way too expensive for the area. Doubt if we will visit again. Standard pub with no real discerning qualities.

Had an amazing time here, Charlie the bar back was fanatic!!

Terrible food! Sloppy Joe burger tasted like reheated stale oversalted (and overpriced!!) meal served on a plastic tray. Would not recommend at all.

Good food and value,lots of space.

Some lovely beers and ales. I had a few Belgian lagers 6.8% food looked good as it came out. We never tried any as we had a family meal booked

Was visiting family and decided to have a mooch for few beers and ended up here, was a lovely day all round

Great place to just chill out and the ambience is spot on

Large bar only had a drink. Plenty of bar staff.

So expensive. £6.75 for a madri beer. Never again 😒

Nice place for midweek drinks after work, close location to tram stop, but the place is located in lovely Salford quays. Good service and decent selection of drink.

Came for a pint and loaded fries. Fast service, great food.

Awesome as always. Tried the cocktail slushes from the outside bar. Really good. Friendly staff and always a great holiday atmosphere

Great beers at reasonable price. Nice outdoor seating. Knowledgeable staff

Always great food and great service..and dog friendly too

Good place to grab a drink if you are around media city especially if the sun is out and you can grab a deck chair at the front. Good selection of ales. Good selection of beers

We only came in for a soft drink to refresh from a recent gig. The service was excellent, the place was clean and tidy even for that time of night.

Busy as anything in here today, served politely and with genuinely friendly attitudes by all staff - what a credit these guys are. Good on them all! Worked in hospitality in my younger years and know the graft and patience it takes. All glasses and empty plates cleared within minutes, quick and friendly service and clean areas to sit. Brilliant place!!!

Great choice of Drinks, reasonable prices, food was great and despite being busy arrived in good time, pleasant staff and generally a good atmosphere

Great atmosphere, a proper English pub, hard to find these days.

Got the wings and loaded fries along with shandies and it was lovely ! Sat outside watching the world go by 🥰

The Dock Yard is located in Media City, Salford, which is located right next to the Manchester and short tram journey away from the city centre. Media City is one of my favourite locations, and a great place for new comers or tourists to visit. It hosts the major UK TV companies, and has a very modern feel to the buildings, yet overlooks the historic Manchester ship water canal and its various outlets. The actual Dockyard is modern style bar, which exuberates a open yet warmly feel. The bar staff have always been friendly and helpful even on busy occasions. Food is the standard Pub grub with numerous options, satisfies varying dietary requirements. Although the culinary is nothing 'special' , it is what you would expect from this type of establishment although maybe a little over priced. The Alcoholic content is more vast however, and you can even pick up a 'cheaper' pint of their named ales. Entertainment wise, the venue hosts various events from time to time including a regular open mic night. I would defiantly recommend a visiting, and if you are lucky, you may catch the eye of the odd celebrity.

Great beer. Selection and a great atmosphere. It's my new local 🤪

Great pub/bar good ales and food good !

Nice friendly staff .food nice .

Great food and drinks. Lots of vegan dishes. Wheelchair accessible and nice staff🎊

Good vibes, excellent service. The staff are friendly and interactive. The beer variety is exceptional, and the food is good.

Good range of draught with changing selection. Live music when I went on a weds

The atmosphere is great and there is a nice selection of beers. In terms of small bites to eat - do note that they are indeed very small 🤣

Good food, great pint, great service from friendly staff 👍

Great bar clean friendly knowledge staff safe dog friendly love this place 10/10

I live local, and used to go regular, 2 times a week.. Somehow the place has lost its appeal. Placed tables everywhere there was seating booths, and seem to be aiming for the restaurant theme, not the bar. Food very expensive, and also now £6.50 average for a pint.. Ridiculous!, pity really, as i wont be returning..

Called in for the first time for a couple of drinks. Nice, airy place, plenty of tables and seemed a good atmosphere. Beer no more expensive than anywhere else. Service was lacking, the second bartender especially. Not exactly welcoming or friendly and no thank you either. Probably would have given a five star but for that.

Wanted something to eat after a great day in the IWM North. Thought it would be expensive as in a very trendy area but very reasonable. Good food and service quick although it was quiet when we visited. I have paid more for fish and chips in my local pub and my girlfriends chicken goujons were a good portion and also a good price. Soft drinks were slightly expensive and alcoholic drinks about 20% more than I am used to paying. Go here for food, and if you want more than a few drinks go elsewhere. If we are in the area again we will def eat here.

My favourite bar on the Quays, great down to earth bar with good food, even better drink with a great choice of Lagers, ales and wines, outside seating to watch the world go by, Love this place ❤️

Amazing atmosphere and amazing, friendly, hard-working staff

Great pub with a good choice of beers.

Good night. Quiet, nice crowd. Good spot for a quiet Saturday night out.

Recent change in the layout has provided more much needed seating. Although the chairs are a bit hard and maybe need replacing with softer seats. The food is your general pub grub and is always cooked to a high standard. The service is excellent, but the prices for the drinks is too high.

Just went for a pint before going to get food. Wide selection of beers and ales to choose from and a good place to go before and after united games.. only negative is the price of beers, very expensive upwards of 6, 7 quid but good place to go overall..

Great service, great atmosphere and great choice of drinks.

Great place on the Quays to watch the rugby

I do like the dockyard . The staff.are great but it's bloody expensive .

Didn't eat. Beer very nice. Occasionally hard to get bar staff attention as they were having a nice chat.

Just had a Sunday roast and the meal was fabulous -the staff were lovely also.

Delightful place food and service excellent. Real chips and very reasonable prices.

We've visited here a few times now and its always been a great place .... not the cheapest place but you have the expensive rentals on these boozers. Great service here though .. no complaints... tried to take a few pics whilst it was quiet.

Lovely bar and very good food. Great atmosphere

This is a great place to come in the day or evening for a drink and some food. There is always a good selection of beers at the bar and some really great food available. It does get busy in the evenings however so come early if you’re after a meal. The decor is pretty cool, wooden beams and girders to reflect a dockyard feel. There are booths with rustic tables and sofas as well as low tables and benches outside which are great in the summer. If you get a window seat you’ll have a nice view of the Blue Peter garden, Imperial War Museum and the plaza outside the BBC. If you’re in Media City this a great place to visit. Thanks for reading

Good beer and a comfortable place

Sausage and mash is incredible, gravy is the best I’ve had

On a wander around Media City found this fabulous place. Great ales, fab food.

Nice pub with cool atmosphere. Food was average, I don’t recommend fish and chips as it tasted oily but the other dishes were ok. There was no service at the table and it was inconvenient to always go to bar to order.

We visited the Dockyard whilst up in Manchester for a football match. Its a really nice pub situated right by the BBC studios in media city, there was a good mixture of home and away fans that made for a pleasant atmosphere. The doorstaff were all very friendly as were the bar staff. A great selection on tap and getting served wasn't too much of a chore as they had plenty of staff behind the bar.

Love it good prices and atmosphere and great to stop stars from coronation street

Bang average overall. Good spot on the quays but thats about it. Good choice but very expensive ale.

Great location, cool design and atmosphere, food was good, lots of drinks to choose, recommended

Red headed lady (accompanied by red headed beanie hat) needs to go on a customer services course. Don’t expect a please, or thank you or any words at all actually even if you are courteous. Pricing is also stupid. No wonder it was near empty on a Friday.

£6.55 for a pint of Staropramen, which is eye-watering. Service, not great: Staff busy chatting. It’s not the best place to drink in this area. Redeeming feature is the amount of choice and the good amount of seating, including outdoors.

Is alright but not amaizing. Service busy with talk with friends wrong food they bring to our table

Giving it 5 🌟 we visited on a Friday night while staying in Manchester, this is a cracking place, great atmosphere, great beers, friendly staff, clean toilets and tables. They sold my favourite beer too. Keep up the good work.

It's a nice place with good beer. Here's a photo of my feet.

As always a great time at the Dockyard. Excellent and friendly service, and great food.

Tater tots weren’t cooked. Solid in the middle (could’ve still been frozen lol). Sent it back and went for chips instead which staff sorted out very quickly for us. Good beers and nice seating out front. Portions very small on the chips served with burgers.

Terrible food,nice place to have a drink

Friendly, dockside bar serving food and drink to a lively and fun crowd. Really good atmosphere with friendly and efficient staff. Enjoyed my visit and will return.

Good food Nice location Perfect views Like it

Very expensive drinks. Food menu poor, many potential customers arrived, looked at menu and left. So much potential as this bar/pub has has no similar competition.

Lovely bar in a great location 😃

Good variety of beer. Good staff and friendly security guys.

Half pound burger and a half of lemonade came to over £18. Burger was OK although I would prefer it less well done.

Couple of drinks in here. Great atmosphere and a lovely ambiance. Still relatively busy, even on a horrible stormy rainy day in Mancheater.

Nice bar in the heart of media city, very lively. The food was good but nothing amazing

Food well priced but found the beer expensive for what it was. Food arrived quickly and was decent enough.

Decent selection of drinks but quite pricey and feels very 'London-y', but most of Mediacity does! Nice spot for one or two but not really the place for a night out

Great place to enjoy a drink with friends or colleagues in the sun Didn't eat but the food coming out looked really good so will definitely be going back to have a try of some of the dishes

Beautiful place, staff very friendly and welcoming

Had to take a loan out to get a beer and also could barely reach my pint in the outside tables

It was sooo hot & the beer was sooo cool 🤘

Brilliant and lovely food enjoyed everything about the dockyard

Nice spacious bar but, at £6.25 for a pint of Stella, they may be shooting themselves in the foot.

Modern pub in the trendy docklands area of Manchester. Not as pricey as some places here and decent beer choice

A nice bar friendly staff drinks are not cheap but it's where you are I guess and it was a matchday

Nice bar, lots of choice and feel like I was in a western of sorts

Great space to meet up with friends, large selection of drinks, good venue

Lacklustre food and service Arrived mid afternoon on Bank Hol Monday and reasonably quiet. A lot of items not on the menu but ordered food. Despite arriving over 30 minutes later, clearly pre cooked/ been heated and quality below average. Service also below average as staff appeared not interested. Never been before so hope this is a one off as good location but disappointed.

Very dog-friendly, easy large bar - could have happily spent hours in there.

Easy to get served even though it was very busy. All the staff we met were very courteous.

It wasn't as good as the last time I have visited. It was only 4pm so not many people were at the bar, those that were were just passing through, mainly tourists. Was there to see Mother Goose pantomime with Ian McKellen and John Bishop (which was very good btw) so lots of kids present. Had some food, chips covered in lots of tasteless gravy and cheese which id not recommend unless you were very drunk and would eat anything. The beer was ok, run of the mill Madri fake Madrid lager best to avoid but also lots of choice.

Only had 2 drinks but nice place.

Great place to have a fantastic meal.

Decent atmosphere and beer selection but sooooo expensive.

Great place for a drink, nice atmosphere and staff are friendly.

Lovely place to meet up, large inside, dog friendly and any drink you can imagine. Serve food too. All on one level.

Not my scene first time no where to set very busy

Wonderful place. Were here twice. Nice and friendly staff, delicious food for a very affordable price. Yesterday (22 March ) unexpectedly we took part in a quiz which takes place , as we were told, every Wednesday. It was so funny and relaxing after a busy day. We really enjoyed our time. Definitely recommend this place to visit .

Last visted: March 2023 Good food with a variety of beers. Local of mine.
