The Moon Under Water in Manchester

Manchester Christmas Markets were our target for today as a family day trip out, what a great way to start than with a fantastic value for money and excellent quality breakfast than here at weatherspoons! Could not fault the breakfast, clean plates all round is a sure sign how good a place it is. Will certainly be back, the actual building is a little piece of history with great original features in this deceptively huge place it's got masses of character adding to its warmth and charm. Staff here are brilliant very friendly and nothing too much trouble, service extremely quick. We could not fault anything, see you soon Moon under water!! 5*****

The food wasn't right clever here. Really bland and expensive for what we got. We didn't go back

Lovely attentive friendly staff, food hot and tasty. Lovely building especially if you sit upstairs

Lovely staff as at many weatherspoons unfortunately the bouncers spoil my visit I was asked to move away from the pub to have a cigarette (I was on a public footpath) when I objected and referred to the fact that I was on a public footpath and the bouncers have no right to tell me where I can stand ....I was calm non threatening just saying what is my right to say the bouncers bevame aggressive and wouldn't let me return to the establishment to even go get my mobile phone and let my friends know I had been barred I will return and ask to speak to the manager as I found this to be totally unacceptable and Mr Bouncer if you think you are above the laws of this land your career will be very short indeed

Nice phb, with friendly staff 👌

Great atmosphere, friendly people

Brilliant time for us. The music was great and we had a few drinks.

another one of the better wetherspoons, they had music and it made it so much better

It's a spoons, but far less rowdy than most places in town on a Friday.

It's a wetherspoons, it is what it is. Very very busy but upside you can sit upstairs so don't have to be up and down for the loos

Very fast service. Tasty food. Convenient for shops etc.

Great atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff, quick service and good food.

Visited on Halloween and service was AWFUL, waited 40 minutes for a drink went to the bar to ask the staff how much longer and a blonde girl who said her name was elena was extremely rude, told me and my friends we haven’t got patience and we weren’t going to get our drinks now for “wasting her time”

Lovely place very clean plenty of room

As ever great breakfast pleasent staff and efficiency

Busy but food came quickly and was decent . Great for a reasonable meal in a lovely building.

They that staff hit you and shout at you and drink while on shift witch isnt right what’s a horrible place I will not be stepping on foot in here again it deserves 0 stars

Don’t be put off by the frontage as this place is huge in length. Great seating areas , also with alcoves to eat more privately. Outstanding beer and drink prices with good very reasonable food menu. Excellent staff

Had never been to this Spoons before as I always go to the one by the Print works, but I thought I'd pop in for a change. It's such a gorgeous pub in an old cinema with tables and bar service on multiple levels. It was very busy when we went in but I'd definitely recommend it to anybody!

I love a good wetherspoons, great value for money and good choice of food and enjoyed it.

Good people make this establishment a winner

Big, lovely Spoons; quite impressive decor preserved by the company. Good food and fast service.

Cheap drink at the end of the night. It's a spoons

Excellent food good service well recommend 5 stsr

Great bar highly recommended to everyone. Great value for food.

Sorry, but the only word i can use is to plan food and no taste at all Service was like I am bored, and why are you asking me?

We visited her as a couple as we were staying overnight at a nearby hotel, it was a Monday night. The pub was busy at around 8:45, surprisingly busy but the clientele was made up of quite a few younger people who were maybe students. A couple of these lads, very young looking were clearly on coke, up to the toilets, back down again sniffing up and wiping their nose and a bit more swagger in their walk! On a Monday night ?? Anyway, we had some food, ordered from our table and the service was good, food was decent and as you’d expect from Wetherspoons for the lower price you pay. No complaints here, I’d just worry about being here on a busy night if young lads are smashing the coke on a Monday, what would the weekends be like! Anyway they didn’t cause us any problems, we just happened to be sat nearby.

Interesting spoons definitely worth an experience! Come feel manchester at its finest

Busy pub in the heart of Manchester a large venue so plenty of seating areas. Upstairs is generally more quiet. The food is as a typical Wetherspoons but you get what you pay for.

Ok , can really busy at certain times

It was a brilliant place to have drinks

Really nice pleasant place.. enjoyed a few pints and had a good time

Fast order and service. Good quality - price ratio.

A good old-fashioned pub to have a good time in town.

Very big pub. Can order at the bar or use the app. Clean, nice staff, good range of drinks, nice toilets upstairs. Security staff on the door. Busy. Good crowd.

Always my 'go-to' place when having a day out in Manchester. Good food and drinks selection at a decent price and fast service even at its busiest times

Huge pub with a big menu We all had something different and all was good.

Avoid at all costs. We were humiliated by one of the managers and his friends sitting in the booth across from us. THEY THREW THEIR FOOD AT US AND LAUGHED ABOUT IT (completely unprovoked). And then had the audacity to play it off as a joke. Would love to take this further and point out the specific manager involved to upper management. Thank you for making us all feel unsafe and unwelcome!

Fantastic place for a drink if you're in Manchester. There is plenty of seating, but it does get busy at times on the wkend. Staff are very pleasant , courteous , and friendly. Had a good few hrs in here, although I didn't have anything to eat. But the dining area looked quite busy.

Cosy spoons. Came here for dinner before going to the theatre. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff ☺️

I visited here yesterday, I can't believe how massive the place is, a simply beautiful building with cheap beer. You will not be disappointed.

Both the food, the service and the atmosphere are very good, and the bathrooms and everything are very clean, I recommend trying this "Brownie" dessert.

Cheap and cheerful..never enough staff but you are guaranteed a cheap night out

Do not order the chicken strips from this place. Me and my flat mate ordered them and we have both been left with food poisoning

Decent for a Weatherspoons. Lots of room and a characterful interior. Service was a little slow though.

Great place to go after finding Trevor Kelly guilty in court for stalking.

Really large weatherspoons, great atmosphere and service

A very large weatherspoons pub, in fact I believe it was the biggest pub in Europe at some point. Always a nice atmosphere and usually busy and vibrant.

I missed the full English breakfast, but the all day brunch was a good second choice

Great place brilliant staff good prices.

Was really busy, but the staff were very efficient considering the amount of cocktails they were doing. Great atmosphere and honestly go for the green cocktail...

Had a Pizza never seen so much grease on a pizza. When I asked for a new one I was politely told "no you can't" Very rude

Great place. Very pleased with pricing.

Probably the cheapest Spoons in Manchester, and if you sit outside you've got the added bonus of doing your week's shopping off the local shoplifters !!!!

Can't beat A Wetherspoons this Deansgate one is good for £3.59 a pint...

Always drop in for a pint or 2 before going for a meal. Drinks only half the cost of posy bars. Always meet someone interesting to talk to. Normal people, top pub.

A great Wetherspoons well worth a visit. Don’t miss upstairs which is super.

Very rude staff look like they cant be bothered to serve impossible to get served like getting blood out of a stone When eventuallyserved staff talking to each other during busy as if its beneath them to engage with customer tables craving a good clean very dirty unwashed tables toilets extremely dirty poor menues nothing healthy processed burgers eating steak was very chewy.

Good food, good beer, good service. Roomy two-story pub and restaurant. Be sure to order your meal and first drink at the same time as the menu has combo pricing that will save you money. Prices and portions are both great. I had the all-day brunch (English breakfast) and a pint of beer. It was great! The sausages were bland and dry though. Nobody finished their sausages at our table.

It's a lovely venue. Friendly, helpful staff despite being very busy. Like all Wetherspoons, you get quality at a reasonable budget and more choice of good craft beers than most bars.

Small, quaint Wetherspoon. Worth a visit for a Manchester Wetherspoons crawl!

Really enjoyed a quick dinner n drink with me other half. Food was top notch and well worth waiting 4. 10/10

This is probably the best place I been into for a drink and a meal that I could not fault either.all staff amazing cask ales amazing seating area and decor amazing, can't wait to go back again this weekend.

good food and staff. very spacious

Cheap and cheerful- fast easy ordering and service!

Decent Wetherspoons located in central Manchester, very busy but staff were prompt and efficient. Good atmosphere, clean and tidy.

would definately go in there again but usually go to other ones loveliest place to be in with different menu for drinks foods as well meet ups

Desert was very slow in coming. Had to ask twice before it eventually came.

Slightly better than the average 'spoons. Huge place great mix of clientele & addition of wkend DJ makes for a must visit venue.

good place for foods and drinks

It's a good pub. It's nearby a busy area.

It's a wetherspoon you get exactly what you expect.

The Pub is an excellent option in the heart of Manchester. Pub food, good and cheap beer options and the atmosphere is very beautiful and welcoming to spend time with your friends, family, partner or even alone.

Always have a few here when in Manchester. Drinks are a fairer price compared to other bars.

Dump of a place,a pure joke,I'd suggest clean,paint toilets downstairs at maimentrance,visiting from Ireland, couldn't believe the service, order our food,wasn't in my seat 2 mins and food at my table,been to weathers pools all over your country,worst ever experience in my life,outrageous,hse in Ireland would shut ye down straight away,food was rank,went to McDonald's 20 mins later and was waiting longer for my food,which was way nicer,

Amazing upstairs room. Still a spoons though.

It's a big spoons , lots of seats inside , good atmosphere, very nice staff. I enjoyed my drink there.

Great staff friendly service and excellent food 👌.

very nice place very good. food and good prices

Never changed since I went years ago. Asked for IPA and a reg coke. Barmaid gave us the dearest IPS and a pint of coke. Couldn't be bothered telling her both were wrong as there was a £2.20 Ipa On at the time.

Busy with a great atmosphere. Fast and friendly service with great food and drink.

You cant knock wetherspoons, they got it right, excellent business model

Good range of drinks and service excellent. Prices reasonable for a city centre pub.

Didn't buy food but looked at the extensive menu, seems very good and reasonably priced. Only normally go in to try the cask ales .

I had breakfast at this place and it was really good! The service was fast and the prices were reasonable. Refillable coffee was a great addition.

Huge pub. A place where you can eat and drink at affordable prices.

Great food, service, spotless Toilets

Always wide choice of beers and friendly service.

Woe...a wow building....than you for keeping this magnificent building as it was....

Basic but cheap food, nice drinks at reasonable prices and really lovely staff. The building was very impressive.

A typical if a little on the large side Wetherspoons pub Food was as expected and staff friendly

The best of five Wetherspoon branches we visited on our Manchester trip and also the largest. Much to admire in design and architecture. Two bars serving with a cask ale heaven for the purist. Food was served quickly by attentive friendly staff. Most enjoyable.

Wasn’t allowed in with my 11 year old daughter as apparently her leggings was sports wear. Disgusting

We like this brand a lot and use all its outlet across Manchester but this one appears to be the weak link. It still has the same great range of drinks at very reasonable prices but it let itself down on this last occasion and we will think twice before going back. Well located on Deansgate it is a big place with lots of history and a good atmosphere. The problem occurred though when we were trying to buy drinks and it became a very annoying experience. Unsurprisingly it was busy but there were only two people serving. This resulted in a long queue and caused problems with people trying to push inand so on. The young man behind the bar was working flat out but the other lady Didn't seem to care and took her own time which was very frustrating to watch. They didn't have many of the draft beers on and even our favourite bottle of Turkish beer was out of stock which wasn't a great experience either. These are easy things to put right so hopefully as when we next go back in it will be better.

Nice and big weatherspoon with the standard menu, due to being in city centre you do however pay the more premium prices for food and drinks compared to the spoons further away. Had the euros on the tv at the time and food/drink service was quick despite how busy it was at the time. Only downside was some tables on the upper floor were a little cramped but can't complain because we at least got a seat!!

Disco after 9. Great night out. Took 10 family members. Great time had.

Like an Oasis in a desert. Thanks once again 👍

Great food, great atmosphere!!! We just have to visit everytime we visit Manchester......
