The Portland Bar & Grill in Manchester

Great place to pop in for a nice pint or some food. I go here after work and also on some days off with some friends

Great location, fantastic food and vibes. Staffs are very friendly. Highly recommended bar

Stumbled upon this place before seeing a show at the palace theatre, food was lovely and the atmosphere was welcoming.. so back today after a day in Liverpool where we decided to give the food a miss there and go back to our new favourite place. Once again it didn't disappoint, food lovely (I had brisket loaded fries 😋) staff are super friendly and genuinely make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door to when you leave. Will be back soon, thank you 👏👏

Great food and service! Thank you!

Waitress lacks attentivity and friendliness -super nonchalant Arrived 3pm with few other customers in the establishment -order food, wait for 40 minutes. Others received food before us despite arriving later. Turns out food hadn't even been cooking for us. Not much was said after we asked about it "nothings been put in the till" "I can get them to cook it now"

Went in at 4.30 on Tues for food and drinks had great service the food was awesome and also half price so definitely a bonus lovely the music

Great bar restaurant wonderful service very friendly and polite food was good and tasty value for money and a good pint of beer bit pricey though

Fries were good, dirty burger was mainly a cold bun, can't say I was impressed. Everything was average.

Great place and vibe would recommend

First time here for an afternoon drink with a friend. Brilliant, exceptionally friendly service. Didn't get food this time but that's planned for next week.

Staff were really helpful and food was decent, but Christ the music was so loud, we could barely hear from across the table without shouting and despite asking the staff 3 times to just turn it down abit it was turned down a smidge then whacked back up.

On our trip to Manchester, we were in the mood for pub food before we headed home. We searched around and stumbled upon Portland Bar & Grill. We decided on… 🧀 Spiced Halloumi Bites 🍗 BBQ Wings 🍔 Smokehouse Burger 🍔 Simple Burger (Doubled Up) Before I even had a chance to take a photo, the starters had been eaten! The Halloumi bites were delicious for both of us, and my partner loved the wings. However, I found them to be a bit too spicy for me. Our burgers looked great when they arrived and I was excited to eat my own, but unfortunately, they didn’t meet my expectations. I found that the meat was tasteless and as much as I wanted to enjoy it, I didn’t. My partner really enjoyed his though. We would go back to try out other items on their menu, but for me, the Burger was not the one.

Amazing food, staff were brilliant, very welcoming and friendly, deffo be going back

Amazing food, great flavours, lovely dimmed lighting and absolutely fabulous waitresses :) 10 out of 10! We will be coming again.

Had an amazing meal in here yesterday, the service was amazing and the food was such big portions. The woman that was serving us was absolutely lovely, the music was on point aswell absolutely love my old skool r&b ❤️ Really enjoyed my meal and time here would highly recommend 😀

Decent budget hotel. Rooms a bit cool with very noisy air-conditioning

wow, what can I say? The staff are amazing, helpful polite, and very professional. The two girls were outstanding and a credit to your company and the young man on the bar amazing two credit to your company as well. Food 10/10 from presentation to taste to everything else Amazing. We are from Cardiff and it was our 1st visit here and won't be our last it's a shame you haven't got one in Cardiff Thank you so much for making the time we were there amazing. we watched Strictly come dancing and that was amazing. we will be back Paul and Sharon Morgan (Cardiff)

Carmen was absolutely awesome as usual, great service, very welcoming and the rest of the team are great too! Thank you! :)

Went here with my friends, food was fantastic! Loved our server Carmen, lots of personality and generally loved it. Would be coming again!

Place is great for a casual dinner. Went on Tuesday evening and recieved brilliant service. Shout out to Robyn you made the experience a treat. Will be visiting again!

Great location in Manchester, food was good and staff couldn’t be more friendly especially Robyn. Will definitely come back when I’m next in Manchester

Nice room and ideal for one night.

Nice restaurant, friendly and attentive staff and the food is absolutely beautiful 100% recommend for a nice brunch spot

I came on a quiet Thursday afternoon, and enjoyed my time here well enough — with a very friendly member of staff serving me — not sure I liked the salacious R&B music though lol

Absolutely excellent really great staff and manageress brilliant nothing a problem 100 percent recommend

We visited after a 6hr journey & were greeted by very friendly staff, served our drinks immediately & had our meals in front of us in 15 minutes. The food is hot & delicious, very competitively priced & an excellent selection of food & drinks available. The atmosphere is great, lively without being rowdy. We enjoyed it so much we actually returned 3 times during our stay. A special shoutout to the manageress who is a really lovely lady & makes sure everyone is happy. We’ll definitely be back!

Professional service Tasty food, although they could provide sharper knife for beef when we ordered mixed grill. Worth paying a visit

Went here today nice staff and friendly and clean warm welcome here had cuppa tea and was good 😊 definitely 💯 recommend to my friends Tammy Manchester only had a cuppa tea try food next time

Only popped in because I read the menu found at the entrance that they can do a gluten free option for breakfast, otherwise I would have travelled home without eating as there are very few places in Manchester that cater for gluten free. I would say it was slow to be served at first but that’s because the lady was busy, but when asked if I could have the Gluten Free bacon and Egg bap, she checked the kitchen and said she could cater for my needs. Arrived promptly after and the bread was unbelievable (and bacon / egg). Haven’t had a GF breakfast in a long time and this went down so nice with the Cappuccino. Had a great conversation with the lady (sorry didn’t get your name!) about Gluten Free and she was on the same page as me. This page needs to update it’s breakfast buns they do and shout out about the gluten free as there will be many others who have no where to go for breakfast! Thank you, will visit again!

Absolutely horrific experience with the security guard on 24th November, just after 10:30pm. Me and my boyfriend came in the door for half a second because on the street there was the truck spending the salt/sand for the icy roads. The security guard came SHOUTING at us asking why we closed the door. Genuinely we tried to explain calmly that the mixture of sand/salt was going everywhere but he became super aggressive. We left because it didn't feel safe but he followed us outside. He got really close to my boyfriend and I told him if he touched him I'd call the police and he said, quote: "I don't care, I come from the streets". He literally stayed there shouting at us, insulting us and try to pick up a physical fight until our cab arrived.

About an hour wait for food not many customers, had a glass of wine with lipstick on 🤮 food ok when it finally came, sorry wont be there again

The First Bar at Saturday in Manchester that let us come and eat with dog. Big respect and we are so grateful for service! Tasty and price are good 👍

Absolutely amazing breakfast. All the staff were so friendly. It was a breath of fresh air that they were all so polite and welcoming. They actually seemed like they enjoyed their jobs and were happy and even laughing and one girl was singing on the way to the kitchen. Breakfast was one of the best ever. The sausages were delicious and the hash brown was crispy and not soggy. The whole thing was brilliant, only tiny thing was my beans were cold, but that’s it.

Can't recommend enough for a brunch!! The steak tatter was amazing and the staff very friendly.

The service was excellent. The 2 staff on duty tonight were the most attentive and polite we have met in a long time. Whoever owns this place is lucky to have them. The food was delicious but the red plastic basket it was served in cheapened the look. That was the only shortfall.

Just had a drink here but atmosphere was welcoming and staff very friendly

We did brunch on a Saturday afternoon the service was amazing the food was top quality you couldn’t fault this place at all the manager and all staff couldn’t be more welcoming made sure we was happy making sure we had drinks at all times I would highly recommend 5star service

Main gripe was the adding on of 10% compulsory service charge which was not made known to us till we asked for the bill. Food and service both good but I'd rather decide on a tip myself. When we questioned it, we were told we could leave a tip as well. Paid service charge (which was less than the tip we would have left) and left. Wouldn't go back.

Good service meals arrived quicklyand the food was great

Cold sweetcorn which he proceeded to check by touching it with his hand whilst still on my plate!!!

An excellent American-style sports bar serving food and drinks adjacent to Manchester Piccadilly Station. They even have a very generous discount on food orders - provided drink accompanies the order - on Mondays and Tuesdays: 20% off the food for walk-ins, 50% off the food for pre-bookings. Even without this offer available, seeing that I ate and drank here on a Thursday, the prices are still very reasonable and even the standard prices make this bar the cheapest gastro-pub I have found anywhere in Europe so far.

Great atmosphere, robin behind the bar was very friendly . My brother needed WiFi and robin was very happy to help with her own personal hotspot .

I’ve been there twice this weekend for Pride and have eaten in there. Food was good, the Dirty burger I think it’s called was soo good! The staff were friendly. The waitress with the cat ears and manager in particular. Thanks for having us 😊

We r from Belfast for the weekend it was clean friendly and service was good i would highly recommend it.

Amazing experience. Looked after us all.. friendly environment. Jamie Lee and Carmen the shift manager was very friendly and helpful. Also big shout out to Robyn who made our experience amazing. Thanks again

Absolutely fantastic meals at great prices staff really friendly couldn't have fault it if you ever go to Manchester go here

Came on my hen do for bottomless brunch the service was amazing and the team and manager were fantastic nothing was to much for them thank you for making my hen do that extra special, they also put music on to suit the day , great food great service would recommend to any one

Nice food nice atmosphere great service

Been twice now, first time they wasnt serving food yet nothing on social media to say they wasnt, 2nd time book a table to ensure we get food, booking gets confirmed, nothing to say otherwise, get there, venue closed…

Je reviendrai !!!! Super agréable et serveuse mignonne

Robin is the best, end of life end of story.

Such an amazing lunch and great staff to

Really good food, nice choice of beers.

Came in for food yestaday with the family around 6pm, it was really busy (probs to do with the cricket) but all the staff were on their A game, was stuck for choice but Robyn reccomended the dirty burger and it didn’t disappoint, and neither did robyn throughout our stay she went above and beyond for us, my family all said she was such a ray of sunshine

Been in for lunch today wonderful staff and wonderful service highly recommend for great food and a great atmosphere Can help with diary issues

Great food and amazing staff, Robyn was super friendly and so helpful! We ordered the dirty burgers which were so good ! Great atmosphere in the centre of town

Food great, service was excellent. Friendly staffand really efficient. Will pop back in when next in town Thank you Robyn!

Always pop in here for lunch when I am in Manchester and it never disappoints. Food is excellent and the staff are very friendly with a special shout out for Carmen who is both very welcoming and friendly. I can recommend the rump steak skewers. Location very handy near Piccadilly Gardens.

Popped in for a "Full English" this morning and was served by a beautiful blonde lady with the most lovely smile, and friendly attitude. The breakfast itself, was delicious and the sausges in particular, were really good quality. Nice classic rock tracks playing in the background, too, Highly recommended.

Friendly staff and great food and menu to choose from, music was decent too! Cocktails being 2 for 1 is a big plus too!

Carmen looked after us brilliantly, lovely and down to earth. Someone you can really talk to. Thank you x

Went as a whole SEN school trip and all the staff especially Robin were extra friendly and polite. Food was exquisite. Would definitely recommend!

Nice and quiet on a Friday night

Me and my sister ad a bottomless brunch yesterday we up grade to the £40 it was well worth it food was lovley and the service was great we will definitely be coming again

Went for lunch and had the steak. Really nice food.. Cooked exactly how I asked. Everything was nice. Quality food, restaurant was clean, service was good.

Amazing food, excellent service. Music was present but not overwhelming. If you enjoy watching your favourite sports, this is a great bar to do so, there are TVs on each large table and others for the rest of the space.

Really enjoyed my afternoon here. Service is great and good value for money

Come here every time I'm in Manchester. Good quality food at decent prices for a big city

Food was below average. Burgers looked great online however they felt like burgers you'd buy in Asda and cook at home. The drinks where warm which wasn't great on a very hot day. However, the lady member of staff who was working was fantastic!!

Fantastic food, drink, and service!

Great food Decent enough service

THE BEST PLACE ON MANCHESTER.❤️

Had a Great experience here. Food was great, servers were friendly, courteous & efficient.

The woman serving us was absolutely lovely but that was the only good thing about our visit. The eggs on the eggs Benedict were solid and disgusting, the chicken on the waffles was dry and the waffle was solid. Can’t even make a decent blackcurrant...

I called in here for breakfast before heading back home after an overnight night stay in Manchester. I ordered eggs benedict with mushrooms, when it arrived it was with bacon, the poached eggs were hard boiled and the bagel hardly toasted. The bacon was actually...

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, für mich war in einer Woche täglichen frühstücken in Manchester der Besuch bei Bar & Grill der wohl schönste Aufenthalt. Das Ambiente war ähnlich wie in einem amerikanischen Diner. Die großen Fenster füllten das Lokal mit viel Licht, es war sauber und auch das Personal war sehr freundlich. Ich hatte wie immer etwas herzhaftes vorab und eine kleine Süßigkeit zum Abgang und war von beiden mehr als positiv überzeugt. Die Preise waren wie überall in Manchester, also vollkommen okay, von daher kann ich dieses Lokal wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für deine Zeit Euer Gordon

A long wait and food was not so nice. I ate it all as I was hungry but for the price I would not visit this place again. The plate the steak came on was chipped and cracked but they didn't do anything about it. The lady serving at bar and taking our payment was rude in response. Not sure if she was a supervisor or Manager. I told her she needs to bin the plate. They even charged a service charge of 10% which was unknown until paying. About 6 chunky chips, steak, some coleslaw, no mushrooms which should have been with it too. Cost £19 plus 10% service charge on top. A place down road was around £10 for same. Unhappy Customer.

One of our favourite places! Such a good location on Piccadilly, the food is nice and a good price. The drinks are a good price as well. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, especially the manager Carmen she’s always so accommodating and friendly whenever...

Dobre jedzenie, niezła cena, szybka i sprawna i miła obsługa

The service was good and the burger was quite tasty. The staff willingly catered to our preferences.

Took over 45 mins to receive our food after ordering. Stayed to watch the football and the service wasn't the best. Could not tell who worked there and who was there as a customer as the staff didn't wear anything to indicate that they were workers. Many staff members either stayed behind the bar and chatted or went up to their friends at other tables and talked. Not worth the price that we had paid for food and drinks, especially as my other half and I had gotten sick off of the food we ate anyways. Really disappointed.

Good food and friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.

Wow! Absolutely horrendous all round. Tried to visit a few times but closed even though they seem to in the listed opening hours. Finally got to visit and food was cold and chicken pink. Spoke to a manager Carmel or Carmen (her English wasn't very...

Nice place with very helpful, welcoming and friendly staff. We didn't eat here but the food looked and smelt really good.

The food. A simple offering. But the burgers are subblime. Whatever the chef is smoking. Keep smoking it. The drinks? Well poured and the staff know how to keep you ebtertained and most importantly, know when to say no to dennis.

We were a stag group of 12 gents and this venue were brilliantly accommodating having had no booking, their cocktails were great and the food really hits the spot and doesn’t disappoint. We were served by Carmen and she really looked after us all. Thank you Portland Bar and Grille. Will definitely be back when in Manchester.

Food came cold and with tomato sauce and ranch that is not listed on the menu and husband had the female waitress have his food thrown into his lap. With no apology. Then had to wait for them to give us the bill.

Really nice staff Great breakfast Really recommend this place

Leckere Steaks und Burger. Prager Bier.

Ātra apkalpošana, laipns viesmīlis.

If you're looking for a restaurant where the service is slow and the food is subpar, then this is the place for you! I recently visited this establishment and I must say, I was thoroughly disappointed. The staff was incredibly slow and inattentive, making for a frustrating dining experience. The food was also terrible. The dishes lacked any sort of flavor or seasoning, and were completely underwhelming. I honestly wouldn't recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy. It's a shame, because I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately it fell way short of my expectations. Save your money and time, and avoid this restaurant at all costs.

Good friendly staff Good service.

Great bar, friendly and welcoming staff and a pleasant doorman too!

OMG tasty. Melt in the mouth Bananna & Pecan or Carnival tastic!!! Still half the day yet for you to take the bottomless challenge. Go on you know you want to!!!

Nice atmosphere. Easy access. Clean hygiene facilities. Would have really had the best experience if the people serving at the bar didn't have to do a but of a dance off before getting me my drink. That being said, I think that may have been a thing for the day and I doubt it will happen again. Still a good place that I would go to any day.

Rack of ribs - sorry, pile of ribs, dry, with no barbecue sauce; cold AND burnt corn on the cob, butter chicken burnt and dry….nothing good to say about this food. Shocker. Staff friendly though!

Reasonable price and enjoyed the skewers all good apart from the draft sat near the window

Made to not feel welcome, tried dancing on the DANCE FLOOR and got told we wasn’t being served anymore as we was ‘making a show of ourselves’. The bouncer was making rude and inappropriate comments about us. However, the bartender was amazing, the one with...

Came here tonight table was full of dirty plates that the last couple had left we couldn’t decide where to sit so I just started to move the pots and a rude woman was like I will clean it just wait for me to clean...
