There was a notice saying appointment only all tables reserved. There was no-one actually in ,instead of welcoming us and asking what we wanted(which was literally a quick pint) we would have been finished quickly , if staff said some one has booked in 15 mins we would have happily had a quick drink. But not one staff member even acknowledged us when we walked in! It's such a shame as we had seen a reel on social media about the venue

Went in here for a few pints after work mid week with a colleague and it was quiet when we went in. They do an absolutely perfect pint of Guinness and you will not get a better one outside of Dublin. Staff are lovely and the manager is an absolute gentleman and made us feel welcome like our own homes. Look forward to returning to see the live music !

This place is quirky with a capital Q. There's a record player upstairs and a wall full of LPs to choose from while you eat. We went to 'why not' for a late lunch on a week day. There were 5 adults, 1 small child and a baby. Plus points.. the serving staff were polite, helpful, pleasant and patient. The food was really tasty, delicious, well presented and with really good portion sizes . The menu covered good variety of dietary needs and the meals served were all correct.. very impressive. Not much in the way of minuses, baby changing area missing... maybe, but generally and wholeheartedly a massive recommendation from me. Heard they have live music on a Thursday too. 😁🎶🎵🌟

‘Why Not Cafe Bar’ is nestled in the heart of the vibrant area of Boothstown, Worsley and is well worth a visit. Colin and his staff are super friendly, the bar has a great atmosphere and you are welcome to nip upstairs and play an eclectic selection of vinyl records taking you back in time. Really tasty food menu, plus in the warmer months you can dine outside where Colin opens up the gin and cocktail bar. Thank you Why Not Café

Full breakfast set us up for the day, asked for extra jam and we had some of Sophie's blackcurrant jam. The coffee was really good as well.

We know covid has impacted us all but it's how you treat your customers is what matters. Sorry no we didn't book a table, we came on referal. Yes we'll go and sit outside and wait for you although a little abrupt, but please don't leave us outside for 10 mins without even seating us as your signage stated, although your guy could see us waiting. We were very hopeful of visiting this place but customer service first impressions have changed this unfortunately. Hope it changes as referal was good.

We have visited Why Not a few times now . The service is always warm and friendly, the beer and spirits are reasonably priced and the food is to die for. Colin, the landlord, is Boothstowns' answer to Tony H Wilson, a champion of the local area and all round local celebrity. The décor is stunning, with a pop art feel, this gives it a vibe of somewhere between an Amsterdam coffee bar and a Northern Quarter tap house, we also think it may be a scale model in the inside of Colin's head!! This place really is a hidden gem and could stand alone as place to visit, without all the other bars around it. Thank you to everyone who have made our visits so amazing, this also includes Millie and Chewy! We really cannot wait to go back!

Vegan review: This was the only option in the area, so decided to have some tea before heading away for the weekend. We got there just in the nick of time! To drink, I got a soya latte with chocolate syrup, a sort of mocha, it was ok. I wanted to try the hotdog after reading the rave review on Happy Cow but unfortunately it’s no longer vegan. Opted for the burger instead! Got chips as a side order. The food was sizeable, it was definitely junk food! The burger was sloppy to eat but not bad, the chips were delicious, the service was great and staff very helpful. The prices were reasonable.
