TV21 in Manchester

Ordered a wrap and beer at the bar and was charged £14.50, turns out I was charged for 2 beers. Lady at the bar called over the manager who said he was giving me a refund. No refund was received and not only that - my food never turned up! After everyone else in the party received their food, we alerted the waitress and was told that I never ordered the food, even though I had proof on my phone of the purchase and I had a beer in my hand. Both waitress and manager were extremely rude and I was told I could not have my money back for the food or drink as it was not registered on their system. An absolute scam and will never return. Do not go here.

Tabla de 9. Todos nosotros obtuvimos nuestra barra de comida una persona y cuando se le preguntó, el gerente dijo que no habíamos pedido la comida. Querían pruebas, pero durante la transacción no pudieron proporcionar un recibo del cliente. Una comunicación terrible y el gerente hizo que uno de sus empleados hablara con nosotros en lugar de con él. También cobraron por la mayonesa para varias personas en la mesa que recibieron nerviosamente. No tuvimos la oportunidad de perseguirlo, ya que nunca volvieron a revisar la mesa.

Called in here for evening meal. Slow enough to take orders. I wanted a Fanta orange and the lovely barmaid made me one which was quite refreshing. When our meals came my order was wrong. They promptly took it away with apologies and offered me a free drink as an apology. Food came and it was nice. When leaving they apologised again for mix up. 10/10 for customer service. Would go again

Visitamos recientemente y pensamos que el bar era muy guay! Jugamos algunos juegos de Sega con algunas bebidas, y disfrutamos mucho la decoración inspirada en la película y el tema de ciencia ficción del bar en general. Los cócteles no eran tan buenos como los de Manchester, ¡pero eran 2 por 10!

Bar realmente genial con decoración de película, buena selección de cerveza y precio razonable, visitamos un sábado por la tarde, así que no está demasiado ocupado.

Very impressed with the quality of food here! I ordered the grilled cheese with a side of chunky chips and both were delicious! The prices were very reasonable and they do an offer for pizza or regular burger with a drink for a fiver which is fantastic! Very rare friendly staff too so will definitely be returning again.

Muy impresionado con la calidad de la comida aquí! Pedí el queso asado con un lado de chips gruesos y ambos estaban deliciosos! Los precios eran muy razonables y hacen una oferta de pizza o hamburguesa normal con una bebida para un cinco, que es fantástico! El personal es muy raro, así que sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

Went for a drink during happy hour, as stated on website till 9pm. My boyfriend went up to bar to get house white wine for 9.5 pounds (20.15pm) just to be told that button doesn't work on till for happy hour??? So had to pay 16 pounds for wine. Disappointed!

We went here for my daughters family 21st celebration for cocktails, they were very polite & welcoming. Incredible views that always wow and provide brilliant photo backdrops. We used a groupon voucher for the first round of cocktails and we were given a choice of some fabulous cocktails that were served by a really friendly waitress who was super helpful and really looked after us. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend.

Wir waren zum „schnellen“ Mittagessen hier und wurden bitter enttäuscht. Zum einen war die Biersorte mit Ferdis prahlen - weil 2 große Zapfhähne- leer. Und dann wollten wir wirklich gerne Mac ‚n cheese essen- nächste Enttäuschung: leer. Und dann haben wir 30 Minuten nur auf unsere Vorspeise gewartet... Leider sehr enttäuschend!!

My favourite place. Had my 40th birthday party held here in the room downstairs and it was brilliant. The staff were fantastic, they worked very hard to make it look so special for me and the food was lovely. Great price and we had so much fun. Thank you so much to all who helped out Adrienne, Max, Mike and the bar staff

I am going to give this place four stars for the occasion we came here (last Saturday) as the bar staff were friendly (though they were hardly rushed since the place wasn't overly busy until at least 11pm when we left) and £3.80 for a pint of Stella "c'est cidre NOT cider!" is not dirt cheap but at least in keeping with the area. Will return.

Vi var innom dette stedet i forkant av en fotballkamp. Stedet ligger fint til i sentrum av Nord London. Vi var ikke sultne så vi tok oss en øl. Stedet har flere sorter Casc øl og mye lager pilsener samt IPA øl. En hyggelig betjening og en fin plass å gå ut sammen med andre. Vi kommer tilbake!

This lived up to its reputation...and not in a good way. We had to wait 20 mins for our reserved table, 20 mins for our drinks and had to chase staff constantly for orders. Will not be returning any time soon

£4 for the cheapest pint (Coors), which is higher than average for Manchester. We went on a Sunday night after a group meal. There was a pub quiz on when we went and the atmosphere was good but quiet. The decor is quirky.

We were in manchester to see Metallica and being in town on a Saturday it almost impossible to find somewhere that isn't heaving! We called in for a quick drink on route to a quieter part of town but ended up staying until we went to the gig. We were able to get a huge both to seat is all and ordered food. Although we ordered separately they made sure we all got the food at the same time. The portion sizes were brilliant. And the good was lovely. Really impressed and it wasn't extortionate. Quirky retro feel with lots of character! Will come back!

Got introduced to this bar by friends. The place is clean and welcoming. Like the movie themes and all those iconic pictures and movie pops. The happy hours drinks menu is fab with plenty of choices to choose from. Food is presented well and tasty. Will visit again.

Fabuloso bar, nos encantó y nos quedamos para las edades! Bueno, que era genial estar cabinas como uno de nuestro grupo fue fuertemente embarazada. Me encantó la película recuerdos de la calle estaba puesto. Una buena selección de bebidas y mucho más barato que un montón de bares que visitamos en Manchester. La única queja es que los aseos de señoras podría estar más limpio. Sólo uno tenía un inodoro. Sin duda recomiendo este bar.

Less weird genre tat than the Fab Café, but nicer staff, cleaner floors, good food and a reasonable (if not brilliant) selection of drink. Great for a Monday evening of gaming and chilling.

Fantastic bar with lots of film memorabilia surrounding it. We went in early afternoon for a few drinks. Staff are very friendly & drinks are a decent price.

Friendly staff, great home made food, the music was to my taste and very eclectic I thought. Just a generally great place to visit.

Llamamos como un lugar de encuentro temprano en un jueves por la noche, y pareció un agradable bar. Era nuestra primera vez pero será la última.

Nice atmosphere. Listened to Nirvana and Pink Floyd and the '80s music so hands down. The drinks were awesome and the fries portions were quite big. But the best part was the Terminator, the Shining, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Harry Potter posters. Will definitely visit again.

Almorcé aquí con mi hija pequeña. Habíamos estado en Manchester para un día durante media a largo plazo.

Visitamos el sábado tarde para comida y bebidas. Bouncer era amable y divertido. El personal del bar eran un poco lento e indiferente. Costó encontrar una mesa, bastante pequeño dentro. Los precios del bar razonable y buenas ofertas en comida. Pizzas eran encantadores y otros alimentos también era genial. Probablemente no volvería como lugares mejores en Manchester, pero estaba bien para lo que era.

Reservé el sótano de Bar 21 para mi despedida y un DJ. Desde mi consulta inicial para el día del evento, el personal era genial, respondiendo rápidamente a mis consultas y preguntas y es muy agradable y fácil para hablar, Daniel en particular era increíble. La comida era estupenda y que ha hecho todo lo que me pidieron, incluso decorado la habitación un poco y sólo lo hizo sentir realmente especial y agradable. De todos modos siempre puedes ir aquí, pero que no dudaría en volver a reservar otro evento, gracias chicos x

Me and a friend came here for lunch yesterday and the service we received was outstanding! The staff serving us were friendly and the food was tasty! Would definitely return :)

Walked in early Saturday evening, it was fairly busy. We had every intention of having food and drinks but after standing at the bar for over 10 minutes trying to get served and watching the bar staff not serve people in the order they arrived we decided to leave and took our money elsewhere! We won't be returning!

Called in here on way back from the match. It was quite busy and was pretty loud. Beer was ok and not too expensive but don't think I'll be returning.

Came here after a walk round the shops for a couple of drinks, it was a Thursday evening so not very busy but imagine it picks up at the weekends. As soon as we walked in, the blonde barmaid was very welcoming and patient with us as we decided what drinks we were getting. She made an effort to chat with us and we felt right at home. The place itself is really cool, little touches add to the theme. Only stopped for a couple but will definitely be returning!

I used to go to TV21 quite often after work and on days off with friends so it was a place I wanted to introduce some new friends to when we were out for a birthday.Unfortunately I've not been since they have had a refurb.I feel like its took the character and quirky away from the venue.You used to be able to sit in booths and the space ship out of the way.The music has even changed.I asked if the downstairs was going to be opened and was told no. When I walked passed to go to the toilets - the doors were shut with the dancefloor lights flashing and on behind the closed door.We didnt stay in here long, it didnt have a good atmosphere and seemed like an inbetween place for many.

We nipped in here for a quick bite to eat and drink before attending a dance class which was nearby. The barman was friendly and there was service with a smile. The 2 people who ate had a burrito and a pizza and they looked and smelled yummy. I had vodka a coke which was averagely priced for the city. Everybody was happy and I was amazed by the fab decor. The only reason this place didn't receive a 5 from me is because the toilets smelled very badly of urine. I think the cleaner needs to buy some bleach :/ would definitely return though.

Went here for food back when it was TV21 and it was one of the worst meals I have ever eaten Since it has become bar21 there has definitely been a change in the menu for the betterI ordered a delicious calzone with ham hock and sausage, very tasty!My friends ordered a very good looking burger, halloumi wrap and chicken goujons. Which were received very wellNot a mind blowing experience by any means but very decent pub food and I would recommend itMy only issues were that the place was a bit noisy/hen and stag do (but then it was good friday) and that due to the lighting my food looked as though I was eating brains. The tomato sauce looked like blood sat on top of the brainy looking cheese

Every time I go into Manchester I visit Bar21. I cannot fault the place. Great food, friendly staff and fabulous decor! Would definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful time james & matt made us feel really welcome. Other half loved the burger (he's very hard to please) the boys were as brilliant as the food. Lovely place excellent food & again the boys were so lovely especially we are oldies lol

5.30pm Saturday evening, not too busy, 4 of us. 3 chicken burgers, 1 beef burger. Food was quick, fresh and tasty. Service was good, staff nice and friendly. Price spot on. Place itself was dark but we were only after a quick bite to eat before a night out. Would definitely recommend and return.

If there's one thing to say about 'TV21' (now 'Bar 21'), it's that the decor is pretty cool, and will definitely catch your eye. Unfortunately, that's the best part about the place. The cocktails are not too expensive, yet I remember them being of a much better quality. I ordered a gummibear margarita, which tasted of pure sugar. I couldn't taste the alcohol at all. The atmosphere was just very flat. The company's slogan is "Everybody has to believe in something, I believe I'll have another drink." Charming catchphrase guys......I believe think there are much better and atmospheric places to go for a drink, so I won't be joining you. Sorry.

I go here all the time, absolutely love the burgers (seriously recommend the Mother Clucker!) the staff are always friendly and there is always a good atmosphere. Weekends are really busy, especially with the club downstairs, but during the week there's a more chilled vibe which is perfect for after work drinks and so on. Love this place!!

Went here for lunch on a break from shopping at the Arndale.Good menu options, and all reasonably priced. Burgers are fantastic. Very good flavour, and are hand made so are very tender and almost crumble as you bite into it.Excellent place to go for a quick bite to eat.

I had researched this bar and decided to give it a visit. I liked the alien by the toilets but was expecting more of a scifi feel. The bar staff were great, very informative and jolly, which helps. Drinks were cheap but was fairly quiet for a Sunday night.

Always a good atmosphere.Came for a few beers whilst on a walk about around the Northern Quarter.Missed the old sofas but still comfy seating.

Went here whilst on a trip to Manchester. Wanted a late lunch, early dinner so went here as we were passing and just wanted something simple. Nice decor in-keeping with most places within the Northern Quarter. Central bar with the tables around it. it was quiet when we arrived at about half past four on a friday but soon become busy with people leaving work etc. A lot of the tables are booths giving that element of privacy. Ordered drinks from a good selection. Both myself and my other half had the Yankee doodle burger. It is a brilliant price at only £5. Yes if you want fries with it you have to order separately but this is quite clear on the menu. When the food come it was really good so left happy. If i was being picky then you may question the value had you had one of the more 'expensive burgers' anything other than this one is at least £7. With side orders that would come to a tenner what doesn't bother me but isn't as good value as my choice. One of the reviews mentions having to eat alongside drinkers. That is true as there is no distict food area. Providing you don't go on a sat night you will be fine. As far as I am aware this is in-keeping with many bars in the Northern Quarter.Overall positives were value and food quality. Only negatives would be a slightly restrictive menu (there are plenty of other places if you want something different) and lighting maybe a little dark?Would certainly return though.

We booked here for my a meal with 10 friends for a lads night out - from the website it looked like a restaurant and bar, but it's not - the seating area is in the bar, so as we dined we were surrounded by people getting quite merry.That's said, the food was excellent, I personally had Venison & Wild Buffalo Chilli, and it was delicious. Maybe if we had booked earlier instead of 7pm on a Saturday the experience would have been better.The staff were very attentive and helpful.Great bar, but much better places locally for food.

We visited TV21 for dinner on a Friday night, we ordered drinks, burgers and nachos from the bar but as it was quite early it wasn't too busy, and there were plenty of friendly staff working so there wasn't really a long wait for anything which was good. The decor is great - all retro film pictures and models! The atmosphere was nice and relaxed but I have to say the food left a little to be desired. The nachos were a good hearty sharing portion but as a nacho fan and paying £7 I would have loved some more toppings like guacamole or sour cream! The burgers were reasonably priced but nothing extra special and you had to pay extra for chips!Overall a good experience but if you're after anything fancy I'd head elsewhere!

Love manchesters northern quarter and this bar/restaurant is a really good choice for a drink and to eat, menus mainly tex mex and a good range of salads, its child friendly in the day early evening, with artifacts from film and tv around the place makes it a great place to chill, recommended it top place

We stumbled upon this bar whilst on a visit to Manchester. We loved the ambiance of TV21. Inside there are little booths with great movie pictures on the walls. The bar staff where very friendly and helpful. I was given a taste of a couple of beers to try before I purchased. My wife and I ordered a platter to share which was delicious. Fast service, great food and drink. Will definitely be back.

Went to TV21 for my birthday in September. We went at lunchtime & it was very quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, very tasty indeed.Loved all the pictures all around the restaurant, very well designed.Would definitely visit again!

We went by this place during the daytime; I'd only ever been at night and had forgotten they served food too. The menu seemed a little uninspired but as we were starving, we ordered burgers. I was a little surprised that you had to order chips separately but it was only a pound extra. We ordered a Coke each, only to find it was the disgusting Value stuff you'd clean your toilet with...the really cheap kind that sticks to your teeth. The burgers arrived 45 minutes later, despite there only being about five other people there. It didn't have any taste of any kind, served with some lettuce that made the bun literally drip. The chips turned out to be rosemary-infused toothpicks and were inedible. Never again.

As a fairly regular visitor to TV21, I was looking forward to trying the new menu.However, I ordered one of the burgers and was shocked when , after paying SEVEN POUNDS that was literally all I got.Forgive me for not reading the small print, but, having seen the price, I assumed that the burger would come with chips. Instead, I got a deep fried, falling to pieces burger and absolutely nothing else. Had I ordered chips the price would have tipped the ten pound mark and, to be horribly frank, it was just not worth such an extortionate price.I had already complained, very reluctantly, that the chicken looked very pink (something pointed out also by two of my friends) and was faced with an uppity, supercilious chef berating me in front of the entire place for not knowing that their chicken was 'undyed' and therefore retained pink colouring. So I'm sorry that, after being made to feel like a scolded, silly little girl I felt I couldn't comment further.Such a shame as this is just a fantastic place with friendly bar staff, but the food side of things has taken a serious nose dive.

I reviewed this wonderful place last month but need to tell everyone that they MUST try the Wild Boar Burger. Having arranged to meet up with friends for pre quizzing dinner I was looking forward to some of TV21's fabulous food created by Chef Rene. We were recommended the Wild Boar Burger by our friendly waitress and didn't take much thinking about before all 3 of us ordered it! A generously sized patty with flat mushrooms, cheese, lettuce and slices of boar assembled between a crisp bun adorned our plates along with coleslaw and seasoned fries. Quite possibly the best tasting burger I have had (and I've had a few). Cooked to perfection and a taste sensation. If you haven't found TV21 on Thomas Street yet, make an effort to give it a go. You will be glad you did!

I discovered TV21 on Thomas Street in the Northern Quarter a couple of years ago whilst looking for a weekly quiz to join in. I've been a Manchester City Centre resident for the last 10 years and have eaten, drank and occasionally been drunk in most of the city's drinking and dining establishments. The atmosphere is chilled and the staff perfectly friendly and helpful which along with excellent food makes for a great place to eat, drink, socialise and generally have fun. With many themed nights including what has become Manchester's best and busiest quiz night on a Wednesday (thanks to the host/DJ/quizmaster Alan Deejay as heard on BBC Radio Manchester) there is always something for everyone. Now the food. I'm a bit of a foodie at heart and know good food from average offerings warmed up in the microwave. I can tell you the food cooked by Chef Rene and his team is excellent! The menu is tex mex/American inspired which fits perfectly with the TV/Film theme of the bar. Various burgers, fajitas, wild boar and unusually creole crocodile are just some of the options available. Trying to be healthy I opted for the chicken skewers. They were flavoursome, perfectly cooked and filled a hungry tummy! The tomato side salad consisted of beef, cherry and sun blush tomatoes in a light dressing of balsamic and red onion. Perfect! My chocolate brownie dessert was to die for ... If ever you are in the neighbourhood stop by for some great food, drinks and a chilled out informal atmosphere. I can't recommend TV21 and its staff enough!

The owners of TV21 should be so thankful that they have managed to acquire their new chef, Rene! His approach to food covers all the key aspects that you would expect from this casual, high quality type of eatery. His menu is first class, offering a wide range of delicious American/Mexican food at exceptionally competitive prices. There will never be a time when something on the menu fails to please. His personal touch is welcome...he will discuss menu options directly with the customer, offering variation and wider choice where he can . Complimentary samplers, popcorn and comic books on each table only add to the ambiance of this unusual establishment, where your entry is greeted by a life sized Predator and Alien. Add to this the best Quiz in town each Wednesday hosted by Alan Deejay, as heard on BBC Radio Manchester and you have the best evening imaginable.Bravo!!

I ordered the wild boar and was absolutely thrilled. What a taste explosion ! I've had the burgers before and enjoy returning time and again, but this was simply 'something else'. Would highly recommend.

We stopped at tv 21 for breakfast as we had tried nearly everywhere else in the northern quarter. The breakfast my boyfriend ordered was enormous, and had a full english with pancakes, syrup, coffee and orange with it. He said it was the best breakfast he had had in the NQ for ages. My pancake stack was the best value at 3.50 and it had a coffee included. I will be stopping there for breakfast again, simply for the incredible value for money.

Really good meal out, with seven other friends and i do have fussy friends! something on the menu for everyone. Some of us had starters with a main course whilst others chose to have a main course with a dessert. Chef was very attentive throughout the meal, he also threw in some nibbles whilst waiting for the rest of my party to turn up. Only two things mix up with the table booking apparently it had been written in the wrong book and Nachos could be served with side plates and utensils as it got a little messy.

I've drunk in here on several occasions but never thought about eating, so decided to give it a try.When it's not busy, the atmosphere is a bit 'flat'. It almost feels like a canteen with the sparse table/chair arrangements. Definitely something missing!We weren't here for a large meal - eat and go was the order of the day before we went to watch Jimmy Carr. I opted for the chicken and chorizo burger. The chicken was well cooked and flavoursome, however, the rest of the burger was a little bit disappointing. I was expecting chunks or slices of proper chorizo. Instead, I got 3 or 4 slices of wafer thin salami (straight from a supermarket packet?). The burger bun was clearly from a supermarket multipack. The pineapple salsa was a nice twist...To finish, I have to give credit to our waiter. He was great - very friendly!

Went here with a Living Social voucher. Booked a table which was ready as soon as we arrived. Our waitress was friendly and efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the meat lovers platter to share. The down side was that despite us being the only table eating, the food took 50mins to arrive. This seemed very excessive. Admittedly when the food did arrive, 95% was delicious (the chicken skewers were a bit dry) and the portions were huge. The best chilli I've had eating out. The shift changeover brought us a new waitress who was disorganised and did seem to forget about us. As another reviewer mentioned, it does have a very studenty feel about it and not sure how it would be at the weekend (we went on a Tuesday).

had a great night out on a wednesday, great food reasonably priced and then the quiz - lots of fun - will definitely be going back again

We went on saturday the 8. Decemder, the staff been friendly but we been told there is a waiting time on food. Our food arrived after 30 min, we had a chicken chorizo burger and a bean burger both huge only problem we got our knifes and forks took 10 min longer to arrive.

hi i go out in town a lot, and while this place may look a little different then other bars the service is just slow and rotten. on top of this, a friend of mine left his coat/got it pinched in this place, i rang and asked if this was tv21's bar, the man said very rudely that of course it is then hung up, after 30 more minutes of calling back, no one answered and he lost his coat.the type of people that go here are too loutish. i'd reccommend squirrels in the northern quarterplease avoid tv21's

Mexican canteen on Thomas Street in the Northern Qtr. Food reasonably priced but fairly average. Seating not that comfortable and a studenty feel to the atmosphere. Will try elsewhere next time.

We had booked a table for 5pm as we had a theatre booking and when we got there, there was no table for us and the waitress told us that they had forgotten. Not impressed with the tv/film theme as it seemed to be just a few movie posters up and there was a film showing the Nativity on in the background. It took over an hour for the food, just two burgers, to reach our table. When we complained we were told our drinks would be complimentary by one waitress but the message didn't get through to the surly, rude, older waitress who took our money. A very disappointing visit, not exactly fine dining and one rude waitress.

turned up last night with a living social voucher,we checked about reservations no booking required monday to thursday,anyway turned up after paying a fiver to park outside to be told no cheff no food!i could of throttled his smarmy face.he just said no food i said this is a joke he said we dont cook food on a monday.he was so rude please do not go here!!!

We went here because we had heard that the food was really good. We didn't even bother staying to eat. First of all, there was a very loud group of men who were getting extremely drunk and threw things towards our table. Then, we asked the bartender at 5.30pm whether they were serving food, we were told "the chef is getting things prepared, it takes a few hours. It'll probably be between 7 and 8". Their website says food is served between 12 noon and 10pm. Needless to say we won't be returning any time soon.

I arranged to meet friends at TV21 for an evening meal after work, as we had heard the food was good. We met at about 6 and got some drinks in, and then asked to see the menu - we were told that the chef likes to be fulled prepped before starting service, and would put out menus when he was ready; we'd already checked the website before arrangenig to meet there (as we knew it would be early evening and some places don't start serving food until later) and it said that the kitchen was open noon-10pm. We obviously did not want to wait until some unknown time to eat, so went to Home Sweet Home close by, which was fantastic as always. We found TV21 to be totally unprofessional, and the staff were bordering on rude. Not acceptable when there is so much choice around the NQ!

I visited TV21 on the recommendation of a friend and I wasn't disappointed. If you're expecting an excuisite restaurant because it's in the Northern Quarter then think again, it's an American Style Diner, simple as that.We went in on a Thursday evening and the place was empty, which makes you wonder "why" but this only worked to our advantage as we had dedicated service by the lad who was working.We had the "challenge burger" which was MASSIVE. Now I'm a bit of a burger-critic and I could tell that the meat in their burgers is of a high quality, very tasty indeed! Myself and my partner couldn't manage the whole thing between us due to it's size, but at £19.99 who's complaining!!Would definitely come here again, the decor is excellent, especially if you're a movie-lover.Enjoy!

There is no queuing system to ordering and no bar etiquette, they just randomly pick, even if you let someone get served before you they don't come back to you, if you like waiting forever for a drink, pick here

We are a young married couple & visited this restaurant on a saturday evening around 6pm.Food: Very good; burgers & mexican dishes with selection of side dishes & dips to stand out from other similar offerings; portion sizes were great, not too big. We had the TV21 burger, Mexicana burger & side of sweet potato wedges; didn't try dessert or starters.Value: extremely good, came to under £30 pounds for the above plus 1 pint & 1 cocktail.Service: Excellent! The staff, both bar & wait staff were extremely attentive, polite, helpful and accommodating. When we were given sweet potato mash rather than wedges the waitress apologised, went to rectify the order & returned to say she had input the wrong item on the system when taking the order. I asked for a drinks menu to order a cocktail, & there wasn't a menu, so the waitress brought the barman over to discuss what I wanted; after he had served the cocktail (a delicious strawberry daiquiri) he returned to check it was ok & not too sweet. Atmosphere: This is in the trendy Northern Quarter area of Manchester. It has a kitsch vibe with some diner style booths, old arcade games & movie posters. It was reasonably busy & there was a group celebrating a birthday but the seating is spaced well enough that you don't overhear conversations or struggle to hear one another. Verdict: We're definitely going again & we're taking the kids next time too (ages 12 & 6). Would recommend to couples, friends & families (early evening as this is also a bar) for a fun, tasty, great value meal with helpful, attentive staff.
