Best & Cool Bars in Clow Bridge

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."

"Originally created by chef Dominique Ansel in New York, the croissant-doughnut hybrid (cronut) caught everyone’s imaginations and spawned a succession of homages. The Alberts Schloss take on the sweet pastry is an utter delight, freshly baked in-house with a range of tempting flavours including chocolate gateaux and salted caramel with popcorn. This week, to tie-in with royal wedding fever, try the Eton mess: a golden sugar kronut with strawberry jam, vanilla cream, glazed strawberries, meringue kisses and fresh mint."

"Albert’s Schloss is a Bavarian-inspired fun palace of extraordinary dimensions and clever design. Behind the glistening tiles of the former Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Mission building (est in 1910) you’ll discover a vast bar, real fires, perfectly preserved original plaster, and a wall stuffed generously with flowers by floral artists’ Frog. You’ll also find a stage, DJ booth and network of beer pipes and tanks serving unpasturised Pilsner Urquell to hordes of adoring punters."

"The Alpine menu will be offering savoury crepes for one day only, with two different fillings to choose from. You can either go for the black forest ham and cheese, or a sweet potato and spinach filling, both drenched in a rich cheese sauce. There is also a sweet option available - filled with chocolate praline and preserved blood orange slices."

"The stunning transformation of the former restaurant at the Palace Hotel (now the Principal) by DJ duo The Unabombers as The Refuge in 2016 is heaped with praise in the guide. It says: “The duo are experts at creating venues that are simultaneously hip, stylish and unpretentious in a generously northern way. The Refuge is as much a destination for a family Sunday roast as it is a late-night cool kids’ hang-out."

"PLY, 26 Lever Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 1DW - Visit now. The waft of pizza and the soft music are the final pieces in an atmospheric puzzle that makes PLY one of the most welcoming pizzerias in Manchester."

"Just really delicious and cheap food in Manchester city centre. Visit PLY at lunchtime when all pizzas are £6.50 – bargain. Where: 26 Lever Street."

"The Beagle, 456-458 Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M21 0BQ - Visit now. Another Chorlton favorite, The Beagle has some excellent breakfast options and their Mexican infused menu sets it apart from the competition. There are some great choices for vegetarians and vegans here too, we highly recommend the frijoles on toast, or, if you’re feeling like getting on an early morning buzz, try their famous Bottomless Brunch which promises infinite brunch and endless booze."

"This is an art gallery that features both modern and ancient art. Located in the picturesque Lister Park, this is a gallery you would not want to miss out on, especially when it is free entry. Order a warm drink at the café and wind down in the peaceful ambience here after you get tired from strolling around the park."

"You can walk along the canal, through the Castlefield Urban Heritage Park on your way to the Museum of Science and Industry. Castlefield Urban Heritage Park. Admire the old industrial buildings, soak up the atmosphere of the canal, and see how Manchester used to be in years gone by."
