Best & Cool Bars in Plumley

"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."

"Bundobust is a huge beer hall serving craft ales in the heart of Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens. It also happened to win Restaurant of the Year at the 2017 Manchester Food and Drink Festival awards, thanks to its stellar menu of Indian small plates."

"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."

"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."

"Those dreams of sharing a Roast Platter once more are just weeks away”. The Refuge is known throughout the city for its slap-up Sunday roasts, with the highlight undoubtedly being the ‘Roast Platter’, which lets you combine a choice of meats on offer with a rich range of sides and accompaniments to top it all off. A vegetarian / vegan roast option is also available, alongside extensive drinks and dessert menus."

"An eclectic range of small and large plates designed for sharing.Why go?. Manchester DJ duo Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford, aka Unabomber, have travelled the world playing music and have brought back inspired flavours to create menus that are imaginative and delicious. What's more, the setting is glorious, one of the most stunning interiors in the city."

"Now open two years, the Unabombers-curated Refuge in The Principal Hotel is one of the coolest go-to dining and drinking spots in the city. With a beautifully refurbished interior, tapas-style menu and a Sunday roast banquet to revere, The Refuge goes from strength to strength with regular events and constantly changing dishes."

"Sure, Prestwich may not rival Ancoats when it comes to food and drink, but there’s a lovely bunch of indie joints that are well worth the 20-minute tram from the city centre. Our favourite is All The Shapes, a casual bar-restaurant-café serving up fun, family-friendly vibes. Their speciality coffee is best enjoyed with a wedge of cake on their pretty, sun-soaked terrace (yes, sometimes the sun shines in Manchester)."

"You're sure to get a good Manchester breakfast at All the Shapes. This spot has been making a name for itself in the brunch scene for a few years now. It's not hard to see why with their extensive menu of delicious foods."

"All The Shapes is on Warwick Street in Prestwich and is relatively new on the scene, having opened last November."

"3 out of 5 stars Restaurants American. SoLita – short for ‘South of Little Italy’ due to its location just below the Ancoats Little Italy area of Manchester – aims to combine the best of New York, Italy and Manchester. Essentially, though, it’s the home of some very naughty food porn."

"A must-visit for burger enthusiasts, this American restaurant serves up just the kind of comfort-rich stalwarts you’d expect - think mac ‘n’ cheese, or the ‘Big Manc’ burger that comes with a belt-busting four patties."

"Want to enjoy a party night with your friends, compete your friends on a pool table match, looking for a perfect place to celebrate corporate parties or scream with excitement on taking a virtual reality fun ride?. Well, you could not find a better place than Namco Funscape. Yes, this place is located near the famous Tafford Centre which definitely deserves a visit."

"OKitchen Bar & Restaurant is situated in Didsbury Village in South Manchester, providing Korean and Japanese cuisine alongside a cocktail bar that offers a wide variety of drinks for brunch and dinner. They are open from Monday through Sunday."

"This stirring Jacobean Revival country house owes its current appearance to the Victorian architect Edward Blore, who also worked on Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace. His remodelled facade is from the 1830s, though the house dates back more than a century before. Capesthorne Hall is now primarily a wedding venue, but does receive visitors on Sundays and Mondays during spring and summer."

"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."
