Best & Cool Bars in Stockport

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"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."

"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"Why:A Bavarian beer hall in Manchester might not scream breakfast or brunch to you, but this venue in fact houses its very own bakery, meaning fresh bread and pastries whenever you visit. Each day brings its own unique artisan loaf, with the weekends being reserved for an olive and thyme fougasse on Saturdays, and Sundays seeing a roasted fig and hazelnut loaf on offer. For a sweeter start to the day indulge in a morning bun which is made from croissant dough doused in cinnamon sugar and hot chocolate sauce."

"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."

"This Bavarian bier palace offers a hearty brunch menu as well as all-day favourites such as steak, schnitzel, currywurst or bratwurst, with fresh unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell served straight from the tank. Breads, pretzels, cruffins and kronuts are baked daily in the in-house bakery."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Dine on the terrace while enjoying Spanish tapas and incredible cocktails at La Tasca in Manchester at Deansgate. This location has an incredible cocktail hour that offers 2-4-1 drinks all day, every day!"

"Offering up a modern take on the Victorian pub atmosphere, and with roasts of either chicken, beef sirloin or a mushroom wellington, accompanied by “all the trimmings”, served all day every Sunday, it’s not hard to see why The Bay Horse Tavern is a much-loved Northern Quarter hangout. A wide range of starters, desserts and drinks are also available alongside your choice of roast. You can find Sunday menus, more information about COVID-safe guidelines and book your table ahead of reopening via The Bay Horse Tavern website here."

"But if you're wondering where to get breakfast in Manchester, then you have to put The Bay Horse Tavern on your list. Their breakfast classics will make you run back for more. The Bay Horse Tavern serves breakfast and brunch every day until 4 pm."

"Popular Northern Quarter hangout Bay Horse Tavern has made the decision to reopen for walk-ins on a first-come-first-served basis until 17th May, and you can find menus, opening times and more information via the website here."

"A stone’s throw from the traffic of Great Ancoats Street, this brewery tap has a Zen-like calm. Ornamental plants decorate a minimalist, Scandi-style pale-wood interior, while tasteful electronica burbles away discreetly. It is a space as design-conscious as Cloudwater’s artwork; large versions of which are displayed on-site."

"This Buxton café is the perfect opportunity to sample the famous Buxton Pudding during your visit to this part of the countryside!. The moment you walk past the window of the tea room and catch a glimpse of the pudding, it’ll be hard to resist stepping inside. Be charmed by the accommodating staff, the fresh food and of course taste the Buxton pudding and the delicious Christmas pudding which is served all-year-round."

"A lovely little treasure trove of gorgeous foodie treats, with many items from around the Peak District and Derbyshire as well as quality producers from around the UK. Not forgetting of course producers of the famous Buxton Pudding!. There’s also some great homewares too."

"Home of the Original Buxton Pudding and a huge selection of Fine Foods, Gifts and Homeware. Our Tasting Rooms are open every day for the very finest hand made food. Situated just opposite the Opera House."

"This is the first permanent space set up by local coffee roasters Passion Fruit. Based on Wilbraham Road, Chorlton, these coffee aficionados serve up some of the best espresso based drinks in the suburb, as well as some exceptional pourover and cold brews. Combine this with some brilliant cakes and a changing selection of light bites, and you’ve got the perfect spot for a caffeine hit."
