Best & Cool Bars in Harpurhey

"Bundobust is another one of these underdogs which is completely turning the concept of ‘fine cuisine’ entirely on its head. No longer does good food feel the need to be served on white table clothes on fine Bone China and washed down with a 2005 Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Nowhere teaches us this lesson better than Bundobust with its 100% vegetarian Indian street food served in paper trays, paper cups and with as much craft beer as you can pour down your gullet."

"With acclaim from national reviewers, Bundobust's street food and craft beer philosophy may seem simple, but it's hella tasty. The Manchester restaurant is a must for sharing vegan food; though don't end up squabbling over the bhel puri - a mix of pastry, peas and tamarind chutney."

"You can eat for well under a tenner at Indian kitchen Bundobust. Located in the Northern Quarter, the restaurant is a veggie haven of spicy cooking; we recommend the masala dosa, a warming combination of soup and mini pancakes."

"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."

"A Manchester staple, Albert's Schloss known for traditional German food and pilsner beers. While many people flock to this restaurant for dinner and live music, you can't pass up the chance to try their breakfast. Their Bavarian-inspired dishes made fresh in their cook haus may be the centrepiece of the meal."

"You can’t miss out on a visit to this huge German-themed bar that serves up amazing food that’s perfect for the ‘gram, including their famous Cronuts. Along with the beer, you’ll find one of the most iconic bar entrances in the world. View this post on Instagram"

"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 quirky city centre restaurant features some of the Manchester's best outdoor dining opportunities. Check our The Refuge's courtyard space, where handcrafted cocktails, flavoursome international dishes and a regular roster of unmissable DJ nights are at the forefront."

"The Refuge is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the entire Manchester. The entrance is stunning and the overall environment is great. I also liked the menu – it seemed pretty unique with a lot of small plates from all around the world."

"Serving honest, freshly-cooked food, Harvester creates a warm, family-friendly vibe at its hundreds of restaurants throughout the UK. From tapas-style starters and juicy rotisserie chicken, to famous signature ribs and 100% British beef burgers, the…"

"From tallest to smallest with a modest outpost on Oxford Road. Big Hands is an important part of the roof terrace ecosystem providing a rough and ready alternative to all that shiny metal and glass. Perhaps more known for providing the backdrop to messy, ill-remembered afterparties with whichever indie band has recently rolled into town, if you want to get drunk in the sun, with a spot of up-cycled wood and plastic sheeting for when it buckets down, there are worse places to be."

"Big Hands, 296 Oxford Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M13 9NS. You’ll probably spot Big Hands’ roof terrace a few minutes before arrival, with a huge advertising billboard on its back wall, and tall leafy plants camouflaging the seating area. This is shabby chic at its finest – white plastic seating with eclectic plant pots at every step."

"You won't have far-reaching views from Big Hands, nor will you have any award-winning interior design, but you will find bags of charm and character. You can go around the world in lagers and pilsners and sit up on the rooftop on this Oxford Road original. It's always a favourite for a pre- or post-gig pint, if you remember those."

"Perfect for al fresco dining, Albert’s Shed boasts a spacious outdoor seating area which is one of its biggest selling points. Seated on the bank of the Bridgewater Canal, guests can enjoy brunch with a view, or alternatively, enjoy the sophisticated interior. Albert’s Shed boasts a menu complete with the traditional English breakfast, favorites such as steak and eggs and classic brunch choices, such as avocado on toast."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants British. A marriage of British and Italian cuisine is kept in check with a sensibly sized menu, so that quality isn't compromised, but there's still plenty of choice, with pastas, fish, pizzas and salads alongside larger mains, including steaks."

"It’s the last weekend before the kids go back to school so bring the family to Albert’s for a breakfast treat!. We open at 10.30am today!. @alberts_shed #albertsshed"

"It is on the eastern side of the centre of Glossop and fringes onto the Conservation Area of Old Glossop. There is a car park at Corn Mill and on-street parking is available nearby. Again, it's not technically a theme park, but with this much going on for free, it deserves a mention."

"This adorable Green Flag garden is the vestige of an estate founded in South Warrington in the 1830s. The house was occupied by three generations of the Parr family, but was demolished in 1970 after years of neglect. In spite of the disuse, the walled garden survived and is now as beautiful as ever, with three ponds, herbaceous borders, fruit espaliers and vegetable plots."

"Prestwich Forest Park consists of four smaller parks which make up 200 acres of woodlands: Philips Park, Drinkwater Park, Waterdale, and Prestwich. These parks can be heavily wooded (particularly Drinkwater), so it’s a beautiful place to spend a day away from the noise of town. Exploring the woods can be an enlightening experience, so long as you take care while wandering amongst the broad-leaved trees."
