Best & Cool Bars in Tockholes

"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."

"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."

"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."

"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."

"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."

"Visited most days of the week for the sole purpose of snapping the perfect shot, The Refuge in the Principle Hotel is literally what Instagram dreams are made of. The elegant hotel dining room with its ceramic pillars, atrium ceiling and botanic-style Winter Garden, is teeming during the evenings with local bloggers and the crème de la crème of the Manchester scene. Grab a coffee here during the day and get the ultimate Insta café pic."

"The Refuge is a beautiful restaurant spot located inside the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel (formerly The Principal Manchester). Come for breakfast and enjoy their Winter Garden, a space in the heart of the venue where they've brought the outside indoors. Full of bright light, it's an Instagrammer's dream."

"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."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."
