The Oast House in Manchester

While this place is a nightmare for everyone who lives within earshot, which is like a half kilometer, it does sound like the young people enjoy it. It took a god 15 minutes between ordering drinks and getting them. I went early evening, so it was packed but not yet rowdy. Dude playing acoustic guitar was great.

Great food, service quick. Very busy & Live music was also on when we visited but didn't effect service

A good place if you stop by Manchester.

Great cozy place, with nice tarrace

Great night with colleagues, good food and great live music. Excellent service to out table. Highly recommended.

Good place, gets busy at weekends but you don’t need to wait long to order drinks. They have good live music. Good venture and will defiantly visit again

One of my favourite places to eat and drink in Manchester. Easily one of the best beer gardens in the centre. Plenty of choice drink wise, small and simple menu but the food is top notch. Bring back the belly pork hanging kebab!!!

Great drinking venue, subpar food

If you like big, noisy outdoor drinking venues then you’ll love the Oast House. Nothing wrong with that. We arrived around 7pm on a Friday and the place was packed and buzzing. The live music stage is a nice feature - and when an Oasis tune is played there’s a lot of singing along! Drinks service is a little laboured - you need to queue inside the small-ish, dark oast house itself. I can imagine things getting a bit messy later in the evening but lots of friendly security present. We didn’t stay late.

Fantastic atmosphere following the ending of the Manchester Marathon. Food was great as were the staff too. Also great music by the duo playing on stage.

Not been over a year why are you asking for a review?

Had beautiful time with friend there. The food was amazing, staff friendly. Will be back there soon !

The best place in Manchester for me to go out late. If the weather is nice and sunny, it is very enjoyable. There is live music. Entry is free. In the winter, it is very special and warm. I always like to go there, summer and winter.

Good selection of beers, good atmosphere...

As the weather warms up, and us Brits need the sun more than ever, the massive beer garden becomes absolutely packed: it's loud, it's crowded, the queue for the bar (and its expensive drinks) is massive and when the live music starts up it gets difficult to hold a normal conversation. (It also wasn't very good, but that's not the pub's fault). But that's not why you're here. You're here to see and be seen. Early doors was nice, but as the afternoon progressed, we felt it wasn't really for us and left others to it. The Oast House is a Manchester staple, of course, and I'm sure to be back.

Food okay went 12 in afternoon nothing special

Lovely spot, plenty of seating! But £7 for a bottle of cider. £6 for a pint, but I guess that’s standard in the city centre nowadays.

Great place to have drink when the weather is nice

A great place to visit for regular live music, fab beer and food. Tucked away off Deansgate.

Nice place but definitely need more bar staff as the wait for drinks is a little while!

Good bier good food on a sunny Sunday... What else... Love it!

Great bar, brilliant outside with live bands. Really is one of the best places in Manchester for a few drinks.

Great place, great atmosphere and entertainment was amazing.

Pretty bad. Freezing cold and outside toilets

I had a great time with my friends, music was good. Service was excellent 👌.

It's giving apres ski bar and Oktoberfest had a love child - what's not to love

Excelente servicio por Petra esta noche, ella era cálido, educado y deseoso de complacer. *sniff sniff ¿Puedo oler ese aumento de sueldo?

Try to come to Spinningfields when there is live music on at the Oasthouse, always a fantastic afternoon, definitely a fantastic venue for talent .

Steve era servicial y atento con nosotros cuando estábamos en! Gran servicio rápido, nos ayudó con el menú y nada era demasiado problema! ¡Gracias!

Lovely atmosphere and drinks. Joy and Barry are ace!

Tipi and outdoors seating busy place

A group of us are going to a nearby restaurant and wanted somewhere decent to have a drink first. Although very busy, this place did the trick and we had a nice time. We were in Christmas party season so the main bar was extremely busy. No problem, we found the temporary tent place next door did the job really well and we stayed for a couple of beers. Not many people seem to know about it and perhaps thought it was for a private party which meant the bar was quiet and we got served quickly. The northern Irish barman was excellent and we got served quickly. It's well over £6.50 a pint which I guess is the going rating Manchester know but the beer was good and the Atmosphere busy and fun.

The security are disgusting and think it’s ok to assault people for no reason. Avoide this place at all cost.

We had our 2024 works Christmas Do here. It was a great venue. Good amount of food and drinks in the package. Great atmosphere. And even had some live music. Food was great too.

Had an excellent xmas party at the Oast House. Lovely set up in the hut outside, food was brill, never had a turkey kebab for xmas meal before and the staff were superb very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Visited for Christmas lunch, tipi is really nicely decorated and warm with little firepits. Service was good

Nice venue ,very busy but bar staff were quick entertainment was good

I orgainised my company chirstmas do here for the weekend just gone. Everyone had an amazing time. The Teepee was as christmassy as you'll get and should continue to be put up every year. Marketa who oragnised prior to the event was brilliant. Hope was our go to host on the night, she was a star. She was extremely attentive, helpful and just an all round friendly person.

Great pub, both indoor and outdoor. Was there after work and it had a very cosy atmosphere

We went yesterday for our end of year dance christmas meal!! Absolutely amazing service, quick, attentive and lovely staff!! Could not recommend more for big parties (there were 62 of us)! The teepee was so well decorated and it was so cosy, all our team loved it! We will definitely be back x

My husband and I visited this pub today for some drinks, and we had a fantastic experience! The cocktails and wines were delightful, but what truly made the night special was the amazing service from Lussa (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly). She was from Hungary and was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. We'll definitely be coming back!

Great place , lively and good vibe

Amazing venue love the love music, so so crowded though couldn’t get a drink after waiting for half an hour !

The Oast House in Manchester is an absolute gem! My wife and I flew over from Dublin for the day and decided to visit based on its great reputation, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was amazing, with a lively vibe that made us feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. It's easy to see why this place is so popular – it's perfect for a casual drink or just soaking in the buzz of Manchester. Highly recommend checking it out!

Lovely atmosphere. Modern clean and friendly

Went on a Friday afternoon 15th November at 12.30....the tent was 'closed for a private function' but it was empty and inside the bar had 2 'reserved' tables that had no-one sat at them...frustrated, (felt that they did not care about me as a customer).Decided to leave and go elsewhere...went to 20 stories who offered us a booth that was reserved but not until 2.15pm ..that's customer service that the Oast House could learn from.

Super cute, brought my friend here as it was her first time in Manchester and she absolutely loved it

Nice food, but a really cold place. Pretty overpriced for what you get.

I went here for the first time with friends last week and it was brilliant. Great atmosphere in the room with the live music, and I enjoyed the bar when we wanted to sit down and chat as it was easier to hear each other in there :)

Really fun spot for some live music. The decorations are lovely and you can order drinks and they will bring to your table via QR code.

Maravilloso almuerzo de domingo aquí - comida abundante y tan sabrosa! Como siempre, personal servicial y muy amable. El lugar estaba muy ocupado, lo que habla por sí mismo. Muy recomendable.

A very beautiful and cozy place to be.

Great outdoors setup for the winter

Mixture in age range of patrons, but my group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The live bands were awesome.

¡Me encantó! ¡La pasamos increíble gracias a nuestra gracia de servidora! ¡Ella fue tan amable y atenta! ¡Absolutamente nos hizo la noche!

Muchas gracias por recibirnos con nuestra reserva! La experiencia fue encantadora, Lara dio el mejor servicio a nuestro grupo y fue muy servicial con la configuración de nuestra pestaña y servirnos y ella era super acogedor. Sin duda volveremos pronto.

Live music and a good atmosphere.

Nice atmosphere live music everything evening

Lara fue la mejor camarera que he tenido. Ella nos ayudó mucho e hizo que nuestra experiencia diez veces valiera la pena el dinero. Muchas gracias Lara x

Cloudy place with a relaxed and somehow adventurous vibe. Bar has an excellent selection of beers and cocktails.

Busy meeting place with goof indoor and outdoor space and love outside music. Some nice seating around outside heaters also. Good drink, good food, good vibes!

Great venue for a range of drinks and live music. Looking forward to the Tpee going up for winter. Bar staff very friendly and welcoming

Great atmosphere and live music! Really enjoyed coming here in the afternoon and again in the evening.

Excellent choice of drinks, really friendly bar staff, comfy relaxed surroundings and excellent food 👌 the sun was shining and we relaxed on the large cushions, a very relaxing atmosphere 😎

Cold, pricey. Band were good though.

Chilled location Good drink selection

When the sun is shining, what's not to like. Beer in the sun, with some quality food too. The katsu chips were a delight. Service at the table was spot on. A great chilled vibe

She, not as in she for female for She the name of the bartender conducted themself in a highly professional, friendly, and exceedingly generous manner.

Great place to hang out. A bit loud for conversations

Had a really good night here last Saturday the place was absolutely booming . Deffo will be returning. And the live music was fantastic

Very good drink selection very tasty food a must place to visit.

Lovely place to go and spend time with friends and family

Brilliant atmosphere, decent prices and very friendly staff

Shady - we pre-booked a large group and even though they knew their kitchens weren't working they didn't let us know until we got there!

One of the best outdoor spaces in the city centre. Ok food and choice of beers too. Great when there is live music on.

The Oast House in Manchester is a great spot! It's got a cool vibe, especially with that outdoor area. The food is tasty, and they often have some fun events going on. Perfect for hanging out with friends! Definitely worth checking out!

We popped in here during the day. Great dog friendly bar and the food was fantastic. We had the dirty chicken burger which was lovely. We recommend for a daytime pint and a spot of lunch.

I've been this place 3 times now with my husband when visiting Manchester. Love the outdoor experience, especially with the live music. I love the vegan burger, and my husband recommends the chicken burger. Nice friendly staff. Live the shack style theme.

Great to sit outside in the sunshine but can get really busy during these times so prepare to queue. Have outdoor bars & additional toilets to help. Good atmosphere. Good beer. Live entertainment too.

Went there for some after work drinks and meal. The good: rly tasty food and good prices. The nit so great: incomfortable bench to sit on and scruffy menus. The place was far too loud. But will say it is excellent outside.

Great atmosphere, especially if the sun's out.

Over priced, 7 quid for Guinness that doesn't compare to the Guinness over the road at Mulligan's which is the same price

Had a great night out here, nothing else needed to be said 😁

Great idea this - not so much the "Oast House" concept from old England/Kent, but an outdoor space to have some decent food and drink, whilst enjoying live music. Great venue, which even had the Olympics on this week for additional viewing, as well as a great live musician Good range of food from the outdoor BBQ, and the burgers looked great whilst the "hanging kebab" was decent enough Good range of drinks too - just hella expensive for the north!

Always great food and a very warm welcoming from the staff. Very reasonable prices. An asset to Manchester for sure.

We popped here on Sunday and the place was buzzing. There was a live band on and the weather was nice so there were limited seats available. The drinks were lovely. The staff were very friendly and seemed to get the bar queues down quickly

Love Oast House, I strangely prefer it in the winter with the tent over, but when the sun is shining it is a fantastic place to watch some live music and enjoy a tank beer.

Ordered a single and double fries (which were overpriced). Waited 40 minutes to be told we weren't at our table when the food came. We were sat there the whole time and the servers came nowhere near us the entire time. When the food arrived, the double was barely bigger than the single. The place has a nice atmosphere but is expensive. Not anything special really.

A nice bar friendly staff But drinks were overpriced I suppose it was to pay for the entertainment in the beer garden

You want to charge me £9.75 for an aperol spritz? Fine, but I expect an actual aperol spritz. I was given a glass of sparkling water with two drops of aperol and a shot of prosecco not to mention the glass was already full of ice but sadly that’s the normality now. Stop scamming people

A 50/50 hit. Great for a sunny outdoor drink with live music and a good selection of drinks. Always good effort put into the seating and atmosphere. Food is overpriced, expensive and low quality. Drinks aren’t cheap either you can expect to pay £6+ for beers, £5+ for bottles of beer, £10> for anything else. Has its benefits and has its place, not delivering anything new or being competitive with other nearby spots.

This is a great place to enjoy a few drinks in the summertime. Loads of room outside, live music and reasonable bar food. Not easy to get a drink when its really busy!

Incredible experience at Oast House on Sunday despite the footy result. The guys' service was second to none, specifically Danny and Will who were really welcoming and looked after us all day. A new favourite venue for sport!

Enjoyed drinks and entertainment Saturday. The weather was great to sit outside and watch the band.

Rubbish bar, not even allowing 16 year old to watch the final! Shocking

1st time there sat outside a little rain but didn't put people off. Nice drinks and good atmosphere , decent prices

Great place, great atmosphere. If the weather is good it's a great place to be

Brilliant atmosphere and grate place to have pre drinks before a team night out.

Best pub in town hands down, get out there for ManiFest when it’s next on
