Manchester's Best Craft Beer Bars
"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."
"The double award winning Town House Coffee & Brew Bar, serving breakfast, brunch, coffee and cakes is open 10am to 4pm Wednesday to Sunday. The Friargate shop also has plenty of outdoor seating."
"With a 4.7 star rating from 93 reviews, the customers at Town House Coffee and Brew Bar say it is a “great place to hang out” with a “good range of food.”. Photo: (Google Maps)"
"Peaky Blinders is located within the 'Northern Quarter' on Lord Street, in Southport Town Centre. The bar, which is inspired by the television drama of the same name, serves real ales as well as an extensive variety of bottled beers from around the globe, and locally-sourced wines to suit all tastes and pockets. It also caught Southport's attention when it starred on popular TV programme The Hotel Inspector."
"Robinsons Cumbria Way, Double Hop; Timothy Taylor Landlord; two changing beers (sourced regionally; often Martland Mill, Old School, Tatton). Peaky Blinders, named after the popular TV programme, opened in 2015 on the north end of Lord Street in what is now known as the Northern Quarter of Southport. The bar is in an old corner shop just up Seabank Road from the promenade."
"Manahatta bar is ‘a glamorous New York inspired cocktail bar with an exciting party vibe.’ The price includes one item from the brunch menu and unlimited Prosecco, bloody marys, Aperol Spritz and pints of Coors. This bottomless brunch offering is available for 90 minutes. Brunch options include a full English, buttermilk pancakes and fried chicken and mushroom hirata buns."
"With Manahatta being the ‘new kid on the block’, there is no surprise that it is taking Manchester by storm. In fact, the restaurant is fast becoming one of the most well-known places to eat in Manchester, no doubt due to its delicious food and eye-catching cocktails. Its New York-style bar and great décor really do make this a prime spot to visit in Manchester."
"Not to be confused with our very own Manhattan (although it often does) Manahatta in Deansgate offer a bottomless brunch between 11am – 5pm for £29.95 per person. Drinks include prosecco, Bloody Marys, Coors and Aperol Spritz. Food includes buttermilk pancakes, full English and smashed avocado."
"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!"
"Although it may feel a million miles away from Blackpool’s bustling Promenade, the beautiful and tranquil nature reserve at Marton Mere is just a 20-minute drive from the town centre. A lovely place for all the family to visit, the reserve is free to enter and open all year round. The terrain is flat and features open water habitats, reed beds, and grassland."
"If you want to get away from the loud entertainment, this local nature reserve is the perfect place for you. The Marton Mere Local Nature Reserve is a big lake which is surrounded by grasslands, scrubs, and pockets of woodland. It is the best place to wine down and be engulfed in the sights and sounds of nature."
"Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve is a place brimming in an abundance of the many wildlife that you can find in this area. A nature reserve consisted of wetlands and tillable land, this is certainly the best place to be closer to nature with the thriving population of different birds and water voles. From spot marsh harriers, barn owls, sparrowhawks and peregrine falcons, as well as, lapwings, redshank, dunlin and oystercatchers you would certainly feel amazed exploring the place and the wildlife known in the area."
"Nestling alongside the River Alt, Lunt Village is home to this peaceful haven of wildlife and tranquility. You’ll find an assortment of inhabitants at this bird-watching site; from water birds to barn owls, geese and kestrels, as you make your way around signposted paths at this wonderful wetland nature reserve.

"King’s Gardens is a 17-acre garden located in the centre of Southport Town Centre, on the Promenade. The gardens are a hive of activity all year round and are a busy tourist attraction on the Southport seafront. The gardens have been restored to their former glory with Victorian shelters and the Venetian Bridge showcasing the beauty of the park, the gardens have sprung to life with an array of colourful flowerbeds and displays, lovingly maintained by the community."
