Yates manchester in Manchester

Fabulous breakfast with very quick service and great customer service from Kayleigh Will be back again

Nice place, friendly staff , drinks reasonable price

They served us horrible cider, when we went to ask to replace a drink, a bold guys acting as manager said we can't do that In very rude manner. I work in hospitality, I know that's not true, these people cost businesses a lot, never going back, no wonder place was empty.

Probably a nice place but ill do my best to avoid it in the future. Ordered drinks, a meal, and a side. Only the meal came. My friend sat and enjoyed 80% of it which took around 15m. We eventually decided to check at the bar for the rest of the order. They said they'd investigate so we should go back to our seats. It came 5m later. The waitress dumped it and was already walking away as she "apologised".

To be honest was a bit disappointed, tables were covered in sticky beer, food was tasteless and the young lady who brought our food over was totally disinterested and plonked our food down silently before walking off. Definitely won't be back.

Only serving one side of the bar. Not that busy.

Not too busy for a Saturday afternoon. Had a child with us and they were fine letting us in. Gutted I wasn't asked for I.D 🤣 We only stayed for a drink before going home so can't comment on food but atmosphere was good.

Bar in central Manchester empty the staff acting like customers were an inconvenience tells me why it's empty much better places to go

Decent pres spot close to Mayfield depot

We went for a breakfast the two of us. Good food nice and hot and had a drink after. We don't have Yates in Northampton anymore used to love going there.

Food had been waiting for ages in the kitchen and was Luke warm. Got my food after 28 mins, staff said sorry we are fixing the dishwasher. I work next door in Manchester One.

Went in for food and cocktails. Order on the app after 20 minutes ⌛️ no drinks or food had arrived. Asked at bar where drinks where and point to table on service screen still counting up at 23 minutes ⏰ got no apology 😤 10 minutes later the 2 x 2 different cocktails turned up still no apology. 10 minutes later the driest and poor cook food arrived. 🤢 Finished cocktails, left food and found a better pub to have more cocktails in before going to the comedy club... this place has staff training and quality control issues 😡 Go to any other pub in the area, they're all better. #AvoidThisPlace #BadService #TerribleFood ( 📸 full English and Gammon streak. )

Demi excellent customer service. Nice personality and friendly. Mutual respect to geniune people Yates - Portland Street. Cheers Faz

Food was fantastic, staff were friendly. Great atmosphere. Very busy.

Popped in for a few before my coach home. Great venue, helpful staff. Full english was mint. Drinks were great 👍👍👍😎😎

A nice place but the food and the drink not really delicious. And on the day, the breakfast is different from the reviews. And they told that mushroom sold out and do not offer an alternative replacement. The cappuccino is so watery and do not feel any coffee favour. I may not visit it again as there are many other choices. But if u need a place to burn time and not too crowded, it maybe a good choice.

Great away friendly pub for pre-match pints

Kayley is a legend. What an amazing girl at the bar. Had an amazing night. What a pub. What a pub in Manchester.

Very friendly staff and a refreshing drinks,well priced.

Visit this place from time to time, never had an isssue until this past weekend. I witnessed drugs being taken on the stairs white door staff were just chatting to each other and then a fight in which there was no door staff inside the building at all members of the public were the ones to separate it and the door staff showed up when a guy had been chocked out and lay on the floor. The dj on Saturday was shocking his music didn’t flow at all there was not very much variety either. I’ve been before when it’s been another dj and he is a whole vibe. I couldn’t believe it this last visit. However the girls behind the bar are great always welcoming.

Popped in for a pint while stopping overnight in Manchester, it was a great venue with friendly staff and a great drinks selection. They also had sports on the Tv's which were a great bonus.

Booked a bottomless brunch which was a £10 deposit on the website. Went into Yates and was told we couldn’t have half of the items on the brunch menu because they weren’t being served before 12pm, despite our booking starting from 11am. Very disappointed with the service received and would not be coming back

One of the nicest burgers I have ever had 🍔 💯

great bar ! Nathan a quality server, always gets to you just as you need a new drink !

Great place for a drink with your friends would deffo recommend for people at uni in Manchester

Good atmosphere, Nathan was great!

Nathan is the top drinks giver tbf

Fabulous place, friendly, lively service great atmosphere

Huge place with outdoor seating. Really nice food and not expensive. Staff were sound. Gets very busy and noisy at times.

Food isn’t great, we got 3 small plates for 12.99, croquettes very burned, wings black burned and covered with cheese to make it look better. Asked about student discount they said no we don’t do it, but if you look everywhere there are banners around the place saying you can get student discount. Even after downloading the app they said there wasn’t any student discount.

Nice and friendly with good atmosphere. It's a god sportsbar with plenty of screens. My one criticism is the poor state of the disabled toilet. It was very dirty, had no soap and in general need of a deep clean top to bottom. This is why the service only gets 2 stars and the overall rating is at 3 rather than 5.

Good breakfast (cheap for this location), nice atmospheric pub, very clean, nice service. I highly recommend!!!

Fin place to go for well priced drinks and some dancey music!

This is a place we used to come loads years ago so we were looking forward to this visit. Unfortunately, the place looked really down at Hill and it will be a while before we return. Gladys hasn't been collected, empty food plates were all over the place and The atmosphere was stilted. They don't seem to do any dry cider either which is unusual and if you compare it to the main competition they must have of Wetherspoons it is very expensive as well. The location is good on Portland Street and you can get a table by the window or in the beer garden. That's about as far as it goes though and we will be frequenting other places instead again.

Fantastic staff friendly service considering how busy it was

Decent pub, called in before 5pm for an hour. Not sure how busy it gets later in the evening.

Cozy place. Thanks to Kayla for all your help. Bent & Horst.

Fab place for drinks at any time! Team are amazing, always ready to give a smile with their speedy service! Always a favourite spot in the city centre

Great place for drinks and to enjoy yourself on a night out

Mikey was great and served me quickly

Great time was had and was served by money

It’s a “meh” review. First the good, good menu, lots to choose from, atmosphere was like any other sports pub, beer and gin selection was good. Now the “can improve.” Staff, it was slow and the bartender and a server on the floor cared more about their personal conversation than paying attention to our order. They continued it while serving us. It’s a chain pub, so it will be “corporate.” Toilets, I saw someone else post it, it’s a hike to get to the toilets, 2 flights up so be prepared for a workout to take a wee. Overall, not a bad place but other spots in the neighborhood if you are looking for more authentic.

Super great service by Kayley and Edith!

Served by mike was great all throughout and drinks great also

Mike was amazing! Service was incredible:)

Had a great night out and Mike served us also some great cocktails, will be back

Cool decoration, slow service, like really slow, waiting 30 minutes for a drink whilst stood at the bar and online order wasn't received.

£137 one night stay. Rooms unbearable as so hot ( no air conditioning) Had to have a bath as the shower was a rainforest shower, so would of soaked my hair. Stench coming from my window as bins were directly underneath. and noise of bottles being emptied.

Good pub good selection of beers and lagers served quickly food looked good.

Restaurants which urge one to order (and pay) from ones table, by app, do not find favour with me. It is impersonal, tech-dependent and post-pandemic laziness. However, this hands-off approach might have worked in our favour today since, had we relied more on a human being, we might have waited even longer than the 40 minutes it took to get our food. There was an evident shortage of staff and the same person was serving at a busy bar and going to and from the kitchen for the sporadically produced dishes. Inexplicably, a separate, additional journey was made for each trip to bring cutlery and condiments. Service took almost as long as the West Indian innings we were fortunately able to watch during these unplanned hunger games.

I was served a glass of Shiraz. It was truely awful. When I took it back and politely asked to exchange I was told it was my taste and if I didn't like it I would have to pay again. When I expressed disappointment, the barperson said (loudly!) It's the same in other places! Er no - not where we normally go! There we get better service with no questions asked.

Robyn and demi thank you for all your service and help you have provided would really helped alot 100% come back lovely girls feel safe when I come here!

Only ever use in an emergency. Service is shocking.

It seems regulars get served food before non regulars. Over an hour since I ordered a pudding,yet the table adjacent got all food and have since left. Will I be back,nope is the short answer.

Great place...staff very good...drinks great

Great olace nathan was awesome !

Demi was also amazing bartender give her a raise she mint made my whole night beautiful girl beautiful soul all of it 💞

Very good site 100% recommended

Very rude staff, especially the blonde haired bartender

this is to the staff member recently new she said, she was absolutely hilarious and so kind, very welcoming for me and my friends first time for the euros! will definitely return

Demi is the friendliest and most passionate person on the bar. I only come for her, she makes my nights 💕

Great place to watch sports (euro 24 especially) and grab good beers 🍻

Lovely pub and was served by Mike who was great

Been served by Mikey great drinks!

Demi and her team were brilliant great fun atmosphere and Ingerland won on penalties result!!!

Kayley has such lovely customer service and is always happy to help. I come down from London regualry get straight off the coach and head straight to Yates where I'm always greeted with a beautiful smile. I always looked forward to returning. Lovely place for a late night drink after travelling.

Great night, the food was great. Best cocktails in Manchester made by the very friendly and attentive team leader Kayley, thanks for making my family feel welcome. Will be coming back again.

Amazing service from kayley and Robyn absolutely amazing

Was out for a cheeky wander and haven't been in before ordered drinks and Demi and Robyn were amazing quick service friendly and with banter as well. Highly recommend

Stopped in for a breakfast and cup of coffee before getting on to the coach, served by Robyn, excellent service from her and the rest of the staff as the morning was pretty busy will be back x

Lovely bar and served by mikey who was mint

Mike was great, really friendly and fast service

Demi is the best. She smile a lot and is very accommodative to customers. I'm always here because of her. Her reception is electric

The Security guard didnt let us in because we were Indians. Told the restaurant was full and better to find other place. But they let other people’s in i don’t know why felt like racism towards indians. We had ID’s and everything. I would’nt recommend this place to anyone. Awfull experience.

Kayleigh is a fab bartender. Always so friendly and cheerful. Fab service

Great service and always kindly greeted by Kayleigh.

Came here for some lunch and pleasently surprised by what they had on offer. Good drinks and nice staff also, served by Mikey who was lovely

Came here to watch the England game and had a great time, lively atmosphere and good food and drinks on offer. Hopefully back for the next one

Mike was out server very pleasant friendly guy and helpful 🙂

Couldn't rate this as we couldn't even get in the doors as they were queuing for the bar turned around and left it was so hot in there

This place is not welcoming/inclusive at all. They told me there was no food available but I kept seeing other tables being served. They told me to wait 15 minutes and I came back after 25 while sitting for a beer, still no food....I was also trying to charge my battery, at least, but the waitress told me to remove my cable like she would fall. I will never visit this place again. Very bad way to deal with customers.

Nice beer, food is just average. Music is loud and not my taste. For a pub it lacks some authentic atmosphere. Service is okay.

Just what I needed a breakfast after a night.on the town

Great place, wonderful staff. A special mention to Megan and Chloe so friendly and welcoming, btw the drinks were delicious

Called in whilst waiting for the coach, bar not busy in the afternoon. 1 staff member behind the bar. As we approached the bar she looked at us and walked away. She walked out from behind the bar and out of a door marked with a disability sign. A bearded staff member appeared, no effort to serve us and he too walked away. There was no-one else waiting at the bar. Eventually a 3rd staff member appeared and served us. I asked for the first girl's name - Chloe - clearly doesn't want to do the job. Won't be back

Had a couple drinks. Felt like a normal sports bar

Just paid £3.20 for a half of cider (lillys berries) and not only was it from a box, the glass was literally half full of ice.

Appalling service also toilets hadn't any paper staff behind bar looking stressed and definitely not happy

Great bar, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Big TVs to watch sports. Great service. A little expensive for drinks.

Great experience . The sharing plates are fab and the staff are very friendly and attentive . The chicken wings in an Indian type sauce are to die for

Just popped in for a drink whilst visiting for the day? At least 6 people behind the bar ( 1 chewing gum, another said 'I'm not serving' to another customer who was waiting, another was doing web app orders, another served a regular sat at the bar, another was running food & 1 girl was serving the queue at the bar) we waited for at least 10mins as believed we were next???? But after being completely ignored, we left? Really poor customer service Yates!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Yates in Manchester, and I must say, the experience was truly exceptional, largely thanks to Kayley. From the moment we walked in, her warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for an enjoyable evening. Kayley's customer service was outstanding. She greeted us with a genuine smile and promptly seated us, ensuring we felt comfortable. Throughout the meal, she was attentive without being intrusive, always ready to assist with menu recommendations and refills. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and her suggestions were spot on, making our dining choices both delicious and satisfying. What truly stood out was Kayley's ability to anticipate our needs. She frequently checked in with us, making sure everything was to our liking, and managed to do so in a manner that felt natural and unforced. Her friendly and professional attitude significantly enhanced our dining experience, making us feel valued and well-cared for. In a busy restaurant like Yates, such a high level of personal attention is rare and greatly appreciated. Kayley's dedication to excellent service made our visit memorable. We left Yates Manchester not just satisfied with the food, but genuinely impressed by the exceptional service provided by Kayley. We will definitely be returning and recommending this establishment to friends and family, largely due to the stellar service we received. Kudos to Kayley and the team at Yates for a job well done!

Nice clean place.. friendly staff.. nice meal

Just an awful experience all round. Food took quite a long time to come out and when it did come out, it was absolutely terrible. Bread was rubbery, chicken was cold and the cross cut fries had absolutely no seasoning on them at all. Got myself a refund for the meal, the staff were grumpy as can be, mostly hid in a corner on their phones. Don't think I'll be returning to this location ever again.

Very nice bar and great Guinness!

Good beer, and good football matches on TV

Simple place where you can hang out and drink, eat and watch football

the girl that works here called macey is so lovely, she made sure everyone was safe and made us feel so welcomed here
