Best & Cool Bars in Hapton

"Indian street food joint Bundobust will be serving special dosas all week, including its year-round classic masala dosa (rice pancakes filled with cauliflower and potato). There's a sweet special of a mango and rose dosa that's served with a sweet cardamom yoghurt, salted mango and pomegranate seeds. The sweet dosa is available until March 1 for £5, or today you can get the savoury and sweet dosa in a combo deal for £10."

"Bundobust is many things (craft beer haunt, Indian street food hangout, veggie restaurant) but it sells itself as a ‘beer and Indian joint’. The basement bar is filled with casual, communal tables that encourage interaction with fellow punters, and has a relaxed order-at-the-bar system that keeps the crowd mingling. The food menu is all about vegetarian Indian street food."

"One of the best vegetarian Indian restaurants in Manchester, Bundobust is a great idea for people looking for top-notch grub that won't break the bank. Expect to find flavoursome curries and sides, all washed down with delicious craft beer."

"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."

"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."

"Visited most days of the week for the sole purpose of snapping the perfect shot, The Refuge in the Principle Hotel is literally what Instagram dreams are made of. The elegant hotel dining room with its ceramic pillars, atrium ceiling and botanic-style Winter Garden, is teeming during the evenings with local bloggers and the crème de la crème of the Manchester scene. Grab a coffee here during the day and get the ultimate Insta café pic."

"Housed inside the beautifully grand Principle hotel on Oxford Road, the Refuge is one of Manchester’s most stylish hangouts. The clientele ranges from touring rock stars to local fashion bloggers, all sipping on delicious cocktails and relaxing among the beautiful décor. If you want to really nail that Instagram shot, take a seat in the winter garden and ask your companion to photograph you beside one of the fairy-light lit trees."

"This stunning space includes a restaurant with a globe-trotting menu, elegant granite bar, and a sparkling winter atrium that serves up afternoon tea and superb cocktails. Ideal for anyone looking for elegance at reasonable prices."

"The best place for sport, with 15 flat screen TVs, teamed with amazing drink offers and great value for food. Split over two floors you can book area ..."

"Wolf at the Door is probably one of the most experimental restaurants in the city, regularly cooking up new, interesting combos in their kitchen. We’re talking the likes of their chippy tea bao (which is smothered in proper chippy curry sauce!), jerk chicken tacos, pizza-topped fries, and even a cauliflower shawarma bao – with a regularly updated menu available to try. Wolf at the Door, 30-32 Thomas St, M4 1ER."

"Wolf At The Door may tout an award-winning drinks list and mouthwatering food offering, but this chilled back spot is a welcome retreat from the stuffier picks in the city. Think small plates, classic desserts and intriguing wines to wash it all down."

"If it’s ice cream that’s tickling your taste-buds, climb the staircase in Afflecks to the first floor to discover the most eclectic selection of flavours imaginable. Chances are that you’ve seen Ginger’s ice cream van at one of the city’s many events, festivals or markets, but for an ice-cream hit whenever you fancy, their base in Afflecks is a dessert lover’s heaven. With flavours including baked apple sorbet, black treacle and parkin, and the iconic Chorlton crack, you’re not going to find bland vanilla here."

"Usually found in an ice cream van during Town Hall’s festival season, Ginger’s now own a diner on the first floor in Affleck’s Palace. Known for their extremely popular ‘Chorlton Crack’, a lush salted caramel and peanut butter combo, Ginger’s wild and wonderful flavours can be obtained at the diner in a toasted brioche, affogato style or in a milkshake. Affleck’s, First Floor, 52 Church St, M4 1PW"

"You’ve probably seen the chic and trendy “ice cream van for the grown-ups. This dessert wagon is mainly to be found after dark, when the children are safe in bed, roaming the streets of south Manchester.”. And now luckily for us they have a permanent residence in the Northern Quarter, on the first floor Afflecks Palace."

"Manchester’s other football team is Manchester City, and you can tour their stadium and club and learn all about their history. Tours will take you behind the scenes and you will even get the chance to see areas such as the player’s dressing rooms. Again, this is another one for the football fans out there so if you’re not into football, you’ll probably wanna skip this."
