Best & Cool Bars in Preston

"This Indian eatery first opened in Leeds but has now expanded to become a chain of three, including one branch located in Manchester’s Piccadilly. Hidden down a set of stairs in a basement off an unassuming city centre street, this place might be hard to find, but it’s worth searching for. Most dishes are vegan, including the newly launched for 2020 vada pav burger, which consists of a deep-fried mashed potato ball, red and green chutneys and deep-fried (spicy) green chilli, all in a vegan-friendly bun."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The Beach House‘s unbeatable shore-side location offers diners a vista of the sea view which stretches out on all sides. Come and be enchanted by the beauty of Blackpool’s landscape as you tuck into the tasty delights on offer here. The dishes’ local ingredients aim to showcase the best of what this wonderful English region has to offer."

"There’s nothing quite like watching a spectacular sunset with your loved one sat beside you. Located in between North Pier and the Tower Festival Headland, The Beach House offers unparalleled, and instagrammable, views across the Irish Sea. If cocktails are your thing, you’re in for a treat!"

"Bar Eighty Eight is located on Lord Street, in Southport town centre. The modern-looking bar is very popular and is often busy as a result. They serve a variety of drinks, and there is plenty of space to socialise and have a good time with friends."

"Almost Famous in the Northern Quarter has made the decision to reopen for walk-ins only, and you can find menus, opening times and more information via the website here."

"Serving quick, fresh East Asian cuisine, Tampopo is one of our favourite child friendly restaurants Manchester. There’s a kids menu featuring mild Thai curries, Japanese noodles and satay chicken skewers, and they will get special kids chopsticks for practising this skill too!. There are several branches of Tampopo in Manchester, some of which feature a kids play corner too."

"About: East Asian food is a super healthy choice for children of all ages. With a selection of three set-menu options, there's plenty to tempt children of all ages. Special chopsticks are a fantastic way for little ones to hone their skills and be just like mum and dad."
