I can't recommend The Freemount enough! Every visit is a pleasure thanks to their excellent bar staff. The live music is always top-notch and really gets the place buzzing. Plus, the door staff are genuinely lovely and welcoming. A huge thank you to Mason for always being such a gent – he really makes a difference!

Had an awesome night at Freemount Bar in Manchester. Cool vibe, good tunes, and solid drinks. Big shoutout to Brandon behind the bar—super friendly and knew how to pour a proper pint. Proper sound guy. Definitely coming back soon.

The new venue is excellent, the only negative I can say is about the smoking area which will never be able to beat the old establishment! But the staff, music and drinks are always fantastic with a crowd to match. If you are looking for a place too dance in an evening then this is the spot highly recommended!

Situato nel cuore del Northern Quarter, questo pub enorme è senz’altro uno dei più scenografici della zona. La selezione di birre, come sempre è ottima. Calda e viva l’atmosfera con musica ad alto volume e un clima festaiolo. Tanti gli oggetti interessanti disseminati ovunque. L’ingresso con i bambini è consentito fino alle 8. Non servono cibo.

After an emotional day at my father's funeral I found myself wandering throughout the northern quarter, I was in a fragile emotional state and craved a drink to calm the nerves, as I stepped through the doors I heard the opening notes to Robbie Williams generation defining anthem "angels", this was always a favourite song of my father and so it brought back a rush of warm emotions, these positive feelings were unfortunately quickly replaced with panic as i began to realise they were not simply playing the studio recording through the speakers and had instead booked a band to perform. For the following 4 minutes and 25 seconds they proceeded to butcher a classic song, tears began to slowly stream down my face as I was forced to listen to such a treasured song was desecrated by a band of amateurs with no respect for Robbie's discography. I will never return and I fear I will never be able to listen to angels in the same way again, countless happy memories with my dearly departed father have now been forever soured for me. Guinness was quite nice though

Out and about in Manchester with Albrecht. Have not been in this non real ale pub in many years but fancied a pint of Guinness. A very good choice. Albrecht had a pint of Estrella. £12.20 for the two pints. A one room pub taken back to the bare brick. A small rear outdoor area. Impressive spirit collection. Very friendly staff. The toucan murals take me back 60 years; we had metal trays with the Guinness toucans when I was a lad. ( sister still has them!) They do have live music. Pipped music was pretty damn good.

Horrible experience, turned away at the door by power tripped bouncers, out birthday party was refused due to one person being too intoxicated, in which we were told to get them some food which we did, once we came back an hour later, we were then bombarded by questions in which we answered, accused of possessing cocain( which was a 5 pound note, and turned away, due to argumentive attitude( answering their questions) overall, just power tripped bouncers who will make your night out difficult if you contest their opinions!

Situado en el centro del barrio norte, este es un lugar impresionante con mucho a su favor. Siempre que salimos por esta zona este lugar recibe una visita y esperemos que la próxima no esté lejos. Tocan música excelente y esto le da al bar un ambiente estupendo. Se pone ocupado, pero todavía tiene una sensación relajada y trasera y parece atraer a una multitud sensata y madura. Tienen una gran variedad de bebidas y algunas cervezas realmente excelentes que están bien cuidados. Nos sirvieron de inmediato y el barman era agradable y amable. Tampoco es caro para el centro de la ciudad, que es otra razón para visitar.

The bar girl with long red hair and bad facial acne was very rude. Her attitude spoilt the atmosphere so my friends and I left immediately. I thought I had ordered an additional drink and wanted to clarify with her; she was speaking with her colleague and told me “I am having a conversation”. I run a business myself and know the issues with staffing and especially those that seem to have a chip on their shoulder. Good luck with this one, her mind clearly isn’t on the job. Try and recruit better staff in future. Give them an attitude test.

I visited for the first time last night with my bossman, and we were impressed from the moment we walked in. The bouncer greeted us and held the door, which set a great tone right away. The ambiance was spot on—the temperature and lighting created the perfect vibe, and the music selection was excellent, on brand yet inclusive, set to a volume that still allowed for conversation. What really stood out, was the team. They were exceptional—warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and well-presented, all while clearly enjoying themselves. I walked in as a stranger and was treated as a friend. This is hospitality.

Uno de los camareros de aquí vio que estaba esperando y continuó durante 5 minutos para charlar con su colega detrás de la barra riendo y bromeando. El otro camarero que estaba sirviendo me miró incómodo ya que sabía lo que estaba pasando. Cuando el camarero decidió servirme, siguió adelante casualmente como si no me hubiera dejado pararme allí por lo que parecía un tiempo. Este individuo está decepcionando seriamente el bar ya que no necesitaré regresar. Trata a las personas adecuadamente o no encontrarán la necesidad de regresar.

Nice atmosphere on an otherwise quiet Tuesday night around Manchester. Only bar we could find with live music. Cross between mature audience & student vibes gave it a friendly feel. Steps down to the toilets are absolutely treacherous though, need a light at the top. Toilets themselves would be best described as rustic. But for a few pints & friendly atmosphere it hit the right notes

I met with some work colleagues here yesterday, a Saturday afternoon. As I was travelling in on the train I was reading previous reviews of this place here on Google and I was wondering why this place had been picked, as some reviews made it sound horrendous. I can only think that those reviewers had been difficult customers, who subsequently had an axe to grind. The only thing that I do agree with some of those negative reviews on is that after a while you do notice that it does smell of washing that's been left in the washing machine too long post wash! This place has really friendly staff and an excellent vibe. A wide selection of beers and spirits, and an excellent music playlist; Wishing - A Flock of Seagulls, followed by April Skies - Jesus and Mary Chain, followed by Say Hello Wave Goodbye - Soft Cell, and a smattering of The Smiths, James, Inspirals etc throughout. I'd return just to listen to the music alone!

My wife and myself went for the Afternoon Tea in the Honey Restaurant and it was a lovely experience. Nicely greeted on the ground floor and taken to the sixth floor restaurant. We were allocated a nice table and the Afternoon Tea with a glass of champagne was wonderful. The lady who served us was nice and friendly and was very attentive. After we finished out tea we were invited to go up a floor to the roof top bar which was very nice but we paid £43 for 2 glasses of mediocre Sauvignon Blanc wine which I thought was a bit steep even though we were in a 5 star hotel. My wife and myself both started work in this building for the Midland Bank back in 1977 so it was nice to go back and see that new life has been breathed back into this historic building. Also it seemed funny to us that the Club Brass on the top floor used to be our staff canteen for many years. Despite the expensive glass of wine I would strongly recommend the Afternoon Tea in this high class establishment.
