Best & Cool Bars in Manchester Airport

"Indian street-food specialists Bundobust have ventured across The Pennines to open this spacious Piccadilly branch. Inside, seating is canteen-style with the enticing menu of snacks and sharing plates being equally informal, and entirely vegetarian too."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"About: What could be more fun than rocking out with the kids?. For families who love great music, delicious food and good times the Hard Rock is the go-to restaurant!. This rock'n'roll inspired venue serves up ample portions of authentic American Diner cuisine, with a hearty helping of rock memorabilia and juke box tunes on the side."

"New in town and bringing the flavours of the tropics to Manchester, Lazy Sundae wanted to introduce the city to some of the flavours of the Far East, shedding the typical mainstream ice cream flavours for the likes of Milo, Taro and Vietnamese coffee. The idea was to bridge the gap between the owner’s heritage and the mainstream market here in the UK, bringing a more accessible approach to popular Asian desserts such as Vietnamese ice cream floats, pineapple bao ice cream sandwiches and more.
