tongue_tied_danny Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'll second the Northern Quarter, some cracking pubs on Oldham Street and Thomas Street. My favourite place to eat in Manchester is Sam's Chop House, a traditional Victorian boozer serving steak pies and the like. It's just beside the Arndale centre. http://samschophouse.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It's been a few years since I lived down in Manchester but there's some good pub down by Deansgate Locks.....agree with the Northern Quarter though. Some decent pub on Oxford Street towards the University too. For eating, there's a good Korean restaurant down a side street off Deansgate next to Kendals Dept Store........very nice.

mizfit Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Deansgate is good for nightlife as well, highly recommended. I’d also suggest getting up to Arndale shopping centre for an afternoon if you get the chance, plenty of shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Printworks isn't bad but a bit "plastic" - I'd go for Deansgate and around that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Print works is just a load of generic chain theme pubs and casual dining restaurants. It wouldn't be my first choice, unless you're looking to pull some drunk hen night type burds. There was one of those ice bars last time I was there but I'm not sure if it's still there now. If your looking for shops then I'd also recommend the Northern Quarter. Oi Polloi and Piccadilly Records are worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The bit at Piccadilly Gardens is a awash with the type of person who would steal your bank card as you lay dying. Cairn Garden hotel is dirtier than a Turkish prison. But you're still not far from the good parts detailed above. The National Football museum is well worth a visit.

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Just back from Manchester. Went to a good pub called Port St Beer House and an Indian food / craft beer place called Bundobust on Piccaddilly Gardens for food.Found this in my photos! Barman in Bundobust scribbled me a list of his favourite pubs...(It's out of focus reflecting the state of the camera operator at the time!)

ayrshire_nomad Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Deansgate, 50ml of gin and mixer £10-£14 and just outside that pub met a homeless guy who claimed to have all his own teeth thus proving he wasn't a drug addict, it was an interesting evening to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
