Manchester

[Paul]

Anyone been to Manchester recently? Heading there with some friends on Saturday and I'm after some pubs / bars / restaurant recommendations.

[steveo]

No, where is it?

[Annette Curtain]

Try this place it's mental & just on the outskirts

Hi Paul,

depends what you are after mate, there's loads of good (and bad) bars, retaurants etc. Grill on the Alley is great for steaks etc http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=grill+on+the+alley&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBF_en-GB&redir_esc=&ei=bygwTcW1OoHNjAfDu4nVCg

It's a sister of The Smithfield, Farringdon.

For up market try Michael Caines nr Piccadilly Station http://www.michaelcaines.com/restaurants/manchester but you may need to book.

Picadilly Gardens has several nice restaurants.

If it's curry you want, go to Rusholme. Curry Mile (as we call it) has a plethora of curry houses.

For bars, I'd look around Deansgate

Who was it who said, "Why don't you just empty the contents of your bin into the shower then get in fully clothed and turn the cold water on instead?"

Not me it wasn't. I'm sure I stole it.

Deansgate??? Pah - disgusting hovel of an arse frequented by flash tits.

Hit the Northern Quarter, atomsphere, individuality and good banter.

[RosieH]

True say - Deansgate is a little like stepping onto the set of Hollyoaks.

[jimmyraj]

Yeah - Northern Quarter is where it's at

[Bluerevolution]

http://www.manchesterbars.com/location-northernquarter.htm It certainly isn't the most popular area for Mancs, still quite a run down part of the City, bars are quite pretentious, expensive (by Manchester standards).

Quote from a Manc "I'd go to Cord, Simple, Blue or Trof. Walrus has been full of wankers everytime I've been in."

Castlefield, to the south of Deansgate is quite nice, my favourite bar is Dukes right by the canal http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7ADBF_en-GB&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=dukes+manchester&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=dukes&hnear=Manchester,+Greater+Manchester&cid=2237443769056011111

Canal Street. ;-)

[Bluerevolution]

Canal Street/ The Village is fantastic-straight or gay

For the busiest pub in Manchester from about 1230 lunchtime onwards you want Mary D's http://www.ukpubfinder.com/pub/42734

Thought all the United supporters from the football thread would be offering advice in this thread. Oh wait.....

[LadyDeliah]

I would give Liberty a call for advice on this:

I'd be interested to find out what they say too if you wouldn't mind giving us an update.

[LadyDeliah]

I heard it was full of dark satanic mills and matchstick men.
