Best & Cool Bars in Gatley

"In February 2020 BC (before Covid) we got all excited with a visit to their about-to-open second Manchester branch on Oxford Road but it remains closed as we pine for a cold beer and a hot bhaji on a long table more than ever. We’ll have to make do with Deliveroo for now. It’s all veggie, as existing fans will know, but vegans have plenty to love from the iconic vada pav to the famous broccoli, kale and onion bhajis."

"A vegetarian and predominantly gluten-free restaurant, Bundobust is serving some of Manchester's best cheap eats. For just £6, you can munch on a bhaji butty, vada pav veggie burger and raghda pethis mushy pea cakes, with a wide choice of cocktails to top it off."

"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."

"Manchester's first Bavarian bier palace, cook haus and bakery is a cavernous space which sees Pilsner Urquell served straight from huge shiny tanks, while meat comes in the form of steak, schnitzel, curry or bratwurst."

"This huge bar in the city centre has a botanic-style garden that looks like it was made specifically for Instagram. Come here during the daytime and it will usually be quiet – ideal for that extra special photo. View this post on Instagram"

"There are several spaces in the restaurant that each have their own vibe. I loved this ‘greenhouse’ inside the restaurant."

Reviewers praise the interior and drinks selection, with comments including: “It’s a bit quirky and looks like a renovated underground station”, “an interesting cellar bar to drink in with its Victorian glazed brick walls” and “This bar is a must for tourists and locals alike”.

"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."

"Situated in the heart of Chorlton, The Beagle is a neighbourhood bar and pub that's home to a quality selection of drinks. Whether you're after vegan burritos and Aperol spritzes or a meaty wrap washed down with happy hour lagers, you'll find it all here."

"Early adopters of the industrial-chic aesthetic that is now seen all over the city and elsewhere, Gorilla has for many, many years been effortlessly cool. Both a bar and club venue, it can fit any kind of night and its club has hosted huge artists and DJs and continues to attract big talent to their small back room. It’s as diverse as you’d expect from a Manc music venue, hosting nights like IAMARAVER, Swiftageddon and Soul Jam"

"Located under the arches below Oxford Road train station, this popular club, venue and bar is many a local’s favourite spot. The bar offers up a delicious food menu alongside an extensive cocktail list, while the 700 capacity club space hosts visiting bands and DJs as well alongside popular regular nights. The music is eclectic, ranging from funk to hiphop and indie beats, attracting a young and hip crowd."

"Gorilla, 54-56 Whitworth Street West, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 5WW - Visit now. Gorilla’s main selling point is their giant ‘royal’ sized full English breakfasts which come in vegan and veggie varieties too. Sometimes size really does matter, especially if you’re hungover and hungry."
