The Patron in Manchester

Este bar ahora se llama "Social de Wilson". Fui allí la semana pasada a tomar una copa por la noche. Señalé la rosa que quería y pregunté por el tamaño. El hombre me dio la máquina de tarjetas y por suerte lo comprobé, porque decía 7. Le pregunté por qué como decía el menú 4. 90 Dijo "es diferente pero como sea" y puso 5. 90 en la máquina de tarjetas. Señalé nuevamente que el menú decía 4. 90 y agarró agresivamente la máquina para poner este precio y dijo "el menú está mal" como si fuera mi culpa que el menú de su barra fuera incorrecto. Hombre extremadamente grosero y ¡CAMBIA TU MENÚ si los precios son incorrectos! ! !

Great bar, good tunes, but just a tad pricey for pints - and bouncers are very scowly. Cheer up old sons.

if you are looking to take your family or friends for a breakfast experience of a life time where you get a warm welcome, fast service and friendly engaged staff The Patron sadly isn't the place for you. I don't like to knock any business within Manchester but the owner in my opinion needs a wake up call, your staff are like wet lettuces with no drive for the success for this Restaurant under trained and lack experience. You clearly need a strong leader at the front of house. We witnessed customers arriving and not being greeted and promptly leaving. Customers sat waiting for food for over 1hour and leaving without paying for drinks as they were that disappointed. clearing tables of plates seating customers without wiping tables. We also personally experienced all off the above and when our patience finally ran out asked one of the 2 waitresses when our food would arrive after waiting 1hr 15mins to be told that the kitchen hadn't received our order. we left after 1hr 40minutes without having any food we wouldn't return to your establishment in a rush.

Called in on spec and was seated in the window - which was great for people watching ! Menu isnt massive but to be honest that suits me as I can never decide or I go for the same thing. So it was nice to have a change. Chose the flat bread - lovely hot and plenty of meat on it - little too many onions but moved them to one side. Really enjoyed it. Side order of fries to be honest weren’t needed as the flat bread was filling enough. Waiter checked in regularly which was lovely so keep us supplied with wine top ups. Really friendly service and atmosphere was chilled. Would recommend.

Friday night visit. Lovely food. Friendly efficient staff. Good atmosphere. Great for people watching through the window!

My partner and I stopped here for a quick break whilst out visiting Manchester. An early Friday evening with business slowly picking up. We found a table to sit and just have a couple of drinks. We sat and watched the staff. Friendly service guaranteed. As you finish your last sip of drink they swoop like a hungry gul at the beach trying to steal your chips. First my partners drink was taken nearly not having time to touch the table. I saw a pen on the floor, took my final gulp and went down to pick the pen up. Glass gone! Slightly impressed by their speed, I also felt too watched, as if staff are too eager for you to finish.

Stopped in for lunch our first time myself and my sister both pensioners and my sister just over from Canada.this is my first review food excellent and the staff was friendly and informative we have not had this type of food before.will not be our last

On Saturday night our running club were having a party at The Patron. Unfortunately, one of our runners was turned away at the door by the bouncers. The reason given was he looked like someone who had been thrown out of a different bar earlier for fighting!! He certainly wasn't this person and I can fully vouch for him as being one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. He was devastated to be treated so badly, not being allowed to join the rest of us and has been put off ever visiting this place again. Our club have used your venue in the past and had issues with the bouncers then, which we let pass. We will look elsewhere from now on as we find this unacceptable. I understand you must look after the safety of your clientele but turning someone away just because they look a bit like someone who might've had a fight in another bar is disgraceful. I don't want our runners to not be allowed to feel part of our celebrations, so we won't risk it at The Patron again!

Me and my best friend are regular Friday night customers. We just stay in the beer garden, even in the winter as the place has heaters. Patron is the classiest place in NQ, good music if you wanna dance, good atmosphere and good people. I recommend it to all my friends who ask me for advice on nice places in MCR, as they know I go out every weekend and tried pretty much every place. We avoided it at first (last year or so) cause bouncers refused to let us in first time we tried the place because of ‘capacity’ (it was Saturday night), so we thought it was a pretentious place like 20 Stories. But it’s not, and we highly recommend it on a Friday night, especially if you’re a chatty smoker :)

We went to this pub for a meal as everywhere else was absolutely packed and even though this pub was also packed they had some tables reserved for diners , so we were seated really quickly and drink order taken . Myself and my husband both choose the chicken kebabs which came with a sourdough flatbread and salad and was delicious and some shawarma fries which were tasty . The pub was busy but the staff were friendly and attentive and when we are in Manchester again we will dugouts back again .

We’ve been here numerous times before and been impressed. However today was poor. We ordered Sunday roasts and they came within about 5 mins, cold and tasted like they’d been sat there all day. The staff told us they were fresh and just gave us some warm gravy. Will not be going back.

The called at The Patron for a drink on the way to the hotel. It’s a very friendly place. The barman was cheerful and I would definitely recommend the place.

My husband loves his roasts. I’ll make him 1, if not 2, during the week, and we’ll always go out for one at the weekend. He despairs that so many city centre roasts are sub-standard compared to a homecooked one, too fancy and lacking character. Yesterday, he said that his Sunday Roast at The Patron was the best he’d had in Manchester. Particularly worthy of note were that all roasts come with a stuffing ball (whether you order the chicken or not), and we’re really glad we paid for the side of cauliflower cheese, as it was fantastic. Roast potatoes were good and crispy on the outside. The half bulb of roasted garlic is a curious but interesting addition; I’m personally a fan, my husband wasn’t (said that garlic doesn’t belong on a roast). There’s no starters on The Patron’s Sunday menu, but this isn’t a bad thing – it felt like they focused more on the mains instead. Service was very friendly throughout. Why only 4 stars instead of 5? Nothing to do with the roast itself (though if I could change anything, it would be to add a swede mash) – but the rest of the menu. We did look at the dessert menus, but after a great roast it was a bit of a disappointment – a chocolate pudding, an orange blossom and date rice pudding, and standard ice cream flavours. And for anyone not wanting a roast, the rest of the menu is very ‘hipster’ – all flatbreads, harissa, pulled lamb, pomegranate-type flavours. Not to everyone’s taste if you’re fancying more traditional comfort food as an alternative to a roast. But, it’s got its niche, I’m sure.

Visited here yesterday, it was very busy due to the spice girls. But food was delicious and waitress were fab especially the supervisor and the new girl with blond short hair. I will definitely go back 🤗👍🏻

I came here for a quick lunch and drinks with my partner before going looking at the bees. We both had the chicken kebab which was lovely and quite healthy. 2 kebabs and 2 drinks was £24

What a wonderful experience my husband and I have had. I would like to single out the barman Martin as we are again lovers and we left our drinks for him to choose and he didn’t disappoint. We also had some bar snacks and I...

Not sure what we did to offend the barman but I've never experienced anything quite like the service we received last night. Seemed to take pleasure in serving our drinks as slowly as possible to the point it became laughable.

The Patron was recommended to us. We had an early evening visit for food and drinks, without booking. The staff were professional, courteous and friendly. It was a busy evening, with a lively atmosphere. The staff settled us at a bistro table and then offered...

I would like to put a formal complain in regarding the treatment of my party on 18 on Saturday 13th April 2019 at approximately 8:00pm. I would like the complaint to be made against the manager on shift at the time, whom I believe to...

I am new to the Manchester area and was very excited about visiting this establishment as I had heard good things about it. Unfortunately when I arrived the doorman informed me I wouldn’t be getting in because I was wearing trainers. The girl I was...

We stopped in the venue yesterday for lunch, we hadn’t booked and the place was heaving. The team welcomed us happily, asked if we’d be ok waiting and so we headed to the bar. Very soon we met Carly. She was just excellent. We wanted...

We had a delicious late lunch with cocktails. The service was very friendly and efficient. The £10 lunch menu is fantastic value. I had falafel, my daughter had koftas. We both had shawarma fries and shared a salad. All very fresh and tasty. The cocktails...

We always enjoy eating at the Patron as we are great fans of its Persian influenced food and chilled out ambience. The new menu looked great and didn’t disappoint, the Persian noodle soup, falafel and minute rib eye steak were fabulous as were the side...

Visited in the week, and was spoilt for choice by the tempting menu. So decided to go a second time in the space of a week. This time was a lunch treat with our daughter. I chose the Persian noodle soup with garlic flatbread as...

2nd visit proved to be as good as the first when it opened. The small plates are ideal for a chilled out lunch. The Koftas were delicious and the Persian Stew a real must for a cold Manchester day! The sides were all cooked just...

Visited The Patron for Sunday Roast. Booked a table for 3pm and checked out the menu on line.........so we were all looking forward to what promised to be a perfect meal. As we sat down we were informed that four of the things on the...

Went for a meal with my kids. Warm reception and attentive staff. Great selection of beers and non-alcoholic drinks. The patchwork of vintage and kitsch furniture, works well and is appealing. We had a "mezze" starter of dips and breads which was tasty, except the...

We had booked a table for eight people earlier the same day. Two of us showed up at eight and the rest arrived shortly after. The bouncer wouldn’t let them in and was fiddling with a board/list while they where trying to explain to the...

I have drunk a few times in The Patron while in Manchester. It looks good inside. Has a good choice of drinks. And gets good live entertainment. This was the first time I have eaten here doing so with a group of colleagues from across...

Absolutely horrendous service. The barman last night was so rude. Guy with floppy hair. His attitude as soon as we asked for drinks was dismissive, disinterested and clearly he would've preferred to have been elsewhere. Worst welcome I've ever had at any bar. Aggressive, rude...

We stumbled across this place purely by chance on a wet Sunday lunchtime. We opted for the Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. Service was prompt and friendly and the food was lovely. Definitely worth a visit and will return again soon.

Visited this bar yesterday for drinks with my partner. He had a couple of pints and I had a karma sutra & mojito. Great cocktails, fantastic music played. Nice atmosphere - would come back.

I really like this place. After moving into my new apartment I found I had to wait ten entire days to get internet sorted. Happily enough, I could steal the Patron's wifi during all that period. It's a very good wifi, very fast, and it...

The Patron has a lovely atmosphere and a great look about it. You can really see it attracts a really nice bunch of people and the live band is great. The staff however, are miserable, rude and want to argue with you. My partner bought...

Visited on Saturday and was very impressed. The staff were friendly and helpful, drinks were absolutely lovely. We had a vegan, vegetarian and meat eater in our party. All of us had plenty to choose from and not the usual dull veggie burger in sight....

Firslty i would like to say how disappointed i am at the moment, me and my partner have been going to your establishment for the past couple months with our dog finn and every time we have come we were welcomed with open arms amd...

We’ve been a few times for coffee and drinks. Super atmosphere and very friendly service with good prices for all drinks. Went for the (free) Friday night music downstairs. Really good vibe though too many of those downstairs not really interested in the band and...

Really exited to go here... Doorman did not let one of our friends in. Reason given: wearing trainers About 10 seconds later a girl walks in and was let in.... wearing trainers Again 30 seconds later girl let in wearing trainers. Left with a bitter...

I usually come here for drinks but I recently tried the Sunday menu food and I already can’t wait to go back again! The food was so delicious and there was some awesome live music on as well. Amazing Sunday vibes!

Busy lively bar in the heart of the northern quarter. Usual drinks and spirits on offer with a good atmosphere. Downstairs is smaller and more intimate, if you can get there before 10, they regularly hold music events for free. Great eclectic mix on my...

Highly recommend here. Excellent food, good value for money and knowledgable/helpful staff. A great place to eat

We ended up visiting The Patron on 6th September. It wasn't our intended destination - the organiser of our party (small, rather quiet group of 7 including bride-to-be) had booked a table at a nearby place called the Corner Cocktail Club, owned by the same...

We had lunch here. Very attentive friendly staff, food arrived quickly. Good size portions. Good good. They where out of lamb shawarma which I would have liked to have.

Last couple of reviews poor so undecided whether to pop in as we checked on our phones outside on the street. Pleased we went with our instinct - food a Mediterranean feel and not the usual burger and chips. The Monday acoustic music night a...

Went there for some drinks with some friends, and were confronted with an enormous attitude from one of the staffmembers. The one tattoo in the neck (so far so good). England is full of nice people he is definitely not one of them...

Horendous vibes, bartender clearly felt awfull we chose his place of work to enjoy 2 pints each. Barely look at us when we asked for cards, we dont do that here(as if the question alone is unworthy). Tried to set us up pouring one beer...

Visited on the spur of the moment for a light lunch and a few drinks because it looked quite trendy. We only ordered a sharing cheese platter and were a bit surprised when it arrived because there was only two pieces of cheese on the...

Had a 14oz ribeye with green beans and cherry tomatoes and harissa yogurt with 2 sides seasoned shawarma frys and a Swiss chard all was beautifully presented and all well cooked witch is rare to find nowadays obviously have a talented few chefs

The food was succulent, tasty, moreish, finger licking, addictive and well presented. It was everything I'd imagined and more, it really was. I fully recommend this place. It was clean, cool, invited, had good customer service, particulary Harry, and even had my favourite Wray and...

Popped in for dinner and had a chicken kebab and steak sandwich both with seasoned shawarma fries. All very tasty - and really well cooked. Staff were great especially with our baby. Had a nice pint too and barman was helpful in choosing which beer...

Ordered the lamb roast dinner last Sunday and it was pretty poor. Not a lot of meat and what was there was very fatty and inedible. Roast potatoes dry, veg okay but not a lot, stuffing okay and Yorkshire pudding okay. The big wave ipa...

Exploring the area with no idea of local places to eat we were extremely lucky to find The Patron for lunch. Both meals were delicious and wonderfully balanced. Would recommend to anyone.

Friendly waitress, but avoid the lamb kebab! It was very fatty and chewy I complained and the waitress conveyed my message to the chef, but I was informed that I'd eaten too much to send the meal back. I was disappointed as I got no...

Popped in with my granddaughter for a quick break from shopping and to hide from the rain. Great decor, good atmosphere. A very nice chap called Pabsy served us our drinks. The fresh apple juice was delicious, as was my craft cider. We had a...

Had a wonderful time here, great gin selection and lovely staff! Would definitely recommend and a great little outside area to enjoy your drinks in

After a lengthy walk through Manchester Center looking for somewhere a little different for a good late lunch we were delighted to have ventured into Patron. The service was excellent despite being busy and our young Irish server ‘Finn’ was very attentive throughout our stay...

Had a harrisa duck dish with manago and seaweed salad... Friendly staff and night bright place to eat (had a window booth). Food when arrived did not disappoint and was very tasty and large portions too!! Well worth a visit for lunch... Now need to...

This would’ve been a 5/5 because I loved the veggie stew and the Canadian waitress was lovely. Even the bouncers were nice. One bar man had to spoil it by basically looking like he couldn’t be bothered with anything. He actually looked grief stricken so...

Went on a Sunday afternoon so experienced the Sunday menu. I ordered a grilled steak with salad, bread and a roast sweet potato side. My partner ordered a meat platter that included a Barnsley pork chop, Malayian pork belly and chicken wings with chips. Food...

If you are visiting the NQ might be a good idea to visit them but definitely does not deserve a dedicated trip to enjoy their meals. Service; bad. Lack of attention, we felt ignored from the beginning to the end, catching the attention of the...

This was our second visit and we had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. The food was delicious - full of lots of exciting (and new to me) flavours. The service was once again superb. The beer range OK, and guest beers pricey at £7 a pint,...

Great location at the heart of the NQ. Nice lunch with however limited choices, but well cooked and presented. Platters were too small for sharing. Very friendly staff (thank you livvy). Will be coming back to check out the live stage downstairs

visited here on a hot thursday night, first impressions good, excellent selection of draft beers/ipa, german beers etc, very friendly staff and also a nice little garden out back, ordered food and was slightly underwhelmed, could have been better, ordered chicken wings with a chilli...

I've visited here a couple of times after work for drinks always friendly staff behind the bar and comfortable surroundings. It can get very busy late afternoon, the small outside area is great if the weather is nice.

As a visitor to Manchester, I was recommended to the Patron by a young lady who served me in a clothing store, and I was so glad that I took her advice. I was having lunch on my own and the service couldn't have been...

My partner and I stopped by for a couple of drinks and a spot of lunch and we felt really comfortable and very satisfied by everything we ate and drank. My partner loved the choice of craft ales on offer and as a huge gin...

Me and my boyfriend came here for couple drinks while we watched England’s first game in the World Cup. At first we were upstairs then I realised there was a downstairs and u could actually hear the game so we went downstairs to watch it...

I went on Sunday and had the Meat platter which was delicious and a great portion for the price. The music was brilliant and just to my taste. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Callum who served us was full of banter and good...

After a day of shopping and exploring, we needed somewhere to wait for our friend. We were visiting Manchester for the weekend and hadn't really done any research, but when we walked past The Patron we thought we'd pop in for Friday evening tipple. At...

We didn’t even manage to have a drink in here, the bar tender served everyone around us even if they came up to the bar after us. We must of been invisible as the bar wasn’t busy so we ended up leaving!

Currently sat in the Patron - bar is lovely but the stench of urine from the toilets is almost unbearable - please sort it out

Friendly service and atmosphere and I really enjoyed the lamb chops. Only negative I would give is the portions are quite small and it is slightly on the price side for NQ. It would have been nice to have some lunch deal or more on...

We have visited the Patron restaurant last week on Sunday bank holiday. It was very hot day so we decided to have a table outside,as tables was only for 2 people and we wanted a bigger one the waiter moved all around to make us...

This was our second visit for lunch. The surroundings are quirky and suit the Northern Quarter area. The food is really good. There are imaginative dishes and they can be served tapas style if you don't mind sharing with each other (side plates were given...

What a great bar. Very Northern Quarter but excellent beer. I love German beer and they have a good selection. Popped in for a quick beer and had 3. Very cool place, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Would recommend to the easy going person.

We love this bar for a relaxed drink and food. Staff always welcoming and friendly. Dog friendly and our little boy gets spoilt in there. Wide range of great beers, which is why my hubby loves it. Menu isn’t as exciting as it could be...

Visited here on Sunday for a roast. Fantastic food and a great service. I would recommend the lamb, it was tasty, tender and juicy. Would recommend this place for food or just a drink.

Located in a very nice area of Manchester this restaurants has an good menu with good food. I had a kebab chicken wrap which was very flavorful! Staff was very friendly, drinks were good and was a nice place to have a chilled lunch.

So the look is fabulous with the décor the staff and the clientele all designed to create an impression. The music was deafening and so talking was problematic. It had the potential for being really special ..it just wasn't. The range of drinks as good...

Ridiculously overpriced for what it is. £15 for two average vodka mixers; it would cost a kidney to spend a full night here.

A friend and I went here after work only to be totally ignored by staff yet stared at from across the room. When we decided to take a table we were told to move with a point of a finger, yet not shown to a...

It ‘s Sunday , and we are eating Sunday Roast ; it’s the first meat in UK that I like a typical meat.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Also dog friendly 😀 visited with family for late lunch / early dinner. The menu was varied and interesting and had a Persian slant to it. Excellent

Just ordered a large round for my staff. My drink was Gin and Tonic. Rather than using a bottle of tonic they used the tap. I asked them to change it, and they tried to charge me! I explained that I hadn’t paid yet and...

I have been in Manchester a few times recently and have walked past the Patron several times on my last visit decided to go in for a meal. I wasn't disappointed by the quality of the food. However, I thought my choice of Persian squash...

Been looking forward to giving this place a try, but unfortunately it disappointed. The small plates were lovely - really fresh and packed with flavour. Especially loved the black garlic ketchup with the squid - only criticism is it needed more of the ketchup! The...

Nice looking bar inside and outside. Good service, Clean toilets. Fair priced drinks. Food looked good

Very long wait to order a drink, followed by a long wait to order food, followed by a long wait to receive drinks and food, followed by another long wait to get someone’s attention to get the bill. I think you might be getting the...

Came here for lunch last Saturday and had a good time, no staff acknowledged us when we walked in after waiting 60 seconds (doesn’t sound like long but standing by the front door for this amount feels like a long time) so we found a...

Brilliant bar with super friendly, fast service. Reasonably priced cocktails that tasted great. Will definitely return!

Took a long time for my friends to be served initially on a Tuesday evening. Bartenders (3 guys on at the time) were horrifically slow. I then went to the bar and waited a little while before any of the barmen looked around (they weren’t...

I had earn something about this place so I decided to come and was a very good idea! The atmosphere is good and the staff there are so friendly! Omg.. what can I say about the food.. awesome! 9,5/10! I will back for sure!!

seating was plentiful, servers and staff were very nice and accommodating and quick to pour you a pint. never ate here, but downed quite a few pints. Try the Patron Pint...it was delicious, nice light beer...nice esthetics and well appointed restaurant..great location

We went as 2 couples on a double date. It was booked in one name but arrived separately. Upon arrival we were seated. Turned out they had put us in separate places. Not a great start. The food itself was very nice, I had the...

Excelent meal, chef understand flavour. Pork belly and stuffed onion great crab absolutely outstanding. Could have spent a bit more on the gents other than that brilliant

Although we had intended to eat elsewhere which didn't open on time we dived into The Patron for a beer,and what a great range & the staff knew their stuff.The menu looked interesting esp for us veggies so decided to stay.Food very good & my...

We were actually en route to turtle bay but my husband suggested trying The Patron. Fantastic. Friendly staff, super fast service and the food... wowzers. Was not disappointed. Thanks for having us 👍

Only came in here for a few drinks on a Sunday evening so I cannot comment on the food. However, the range of drinks were extensive and have quite a few of their own brands on tap. The decor in this place is very quirky...

Came here on Saturday lunchtime for food. Some attention has been given to the look of this place, as it looks great. It’s a place that seems to have been designed mainly for drinking, with food thrown is as an afterthought. Hence why there are...

Visited late Saturday afternoon, have to say it's a lovely looking bar with a great beer selection. Has the potential to be a good addition to Manchester's great bar scene, its just a shame the service was so poor, a complete lack of vigilance from...
