Best Nightlife in Brockholes

"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."

"Another special spot in Spinningfields suitable for both celebrations or just a boujee Tuesday – The Ivy’s roof terrace is stunningly decorated, with plus velvet furniture, fire pits for warmth and grand trees throughout setting a botanical theme for its brasserie offering. Most of the space is for diners, however, there’s a lovely bar within the terrace, too, where you can perch up for a drink or two. The Ivy, The Pavilion, Byrom St, M3 3HG."

"One of Manchester's most glamorous destinations ever since it opened in 2018 has been The Ivy in Spinningfields. The swish restaurant and bar will be reopening its ground floor outdoor terrace from April 12. The space is both covered and heated, so it's perfect for Manchester's less-than-favourable weather."

"From the ground floor brasserie serving all kinds of classic British dishes to the swanky Asian-inspired restaurant upstairs, the Ivy is the place to be. Not only are the interiors highly Instagrammable, but the food and drink selection is just as impressive."

"One of the most traditional Instagrammable places in Manchester is Albert Schloss. Albert Schloss has a fabulous storefront decorated with Wisteria and I can guarantee you, that you won’t miss the restaurant, as there is always a group of people taking photos of this incredibly beautiful Instagrammable restaurant in Manchester. Albert Schloss is a German restaurant as you might guess from the name, so expect the German menu and some really great desserts."

"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."

"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."

"There are several spaces in the restaurant that each have their own vibe. I loved this ‘greenhouse’ inside the restaurant."

"The Roebuck has he benefit of being in the city centre but away from a lot of the hustle and bustle. Dogs are welcome both inside and out with a great selection of drinks on tap and a full food menu available. Beer garden available"

"Impossible has created a real reputation for extravagance in the short time it has been open. The club provides a totally immersive experience rather than your standard vodbull night out. Fire breathers and scantily clad dancers are on show and the venue provides a true sense of occasion that is often found lacking at most venues."

"Another of Manchester’s most popular spots to watch the football, Impossible MCR screens the football on their sun-soaked terrace, with plenty of places to sit. Enjoy cocktails, beers, tons of gins, wine and more while enjoying the atmosphere, with a fantastic gin den inside once you’re done. Impossible, 36 Peter St, M2 5QR."

"Impossible has two bottomless offers, and both are as great as each other!. The first is a bottomless brunch offer, which runs Thursday to Sunday and costs £30pp. For that price, you get to pick a trio, a side, and bottomless drinks."

"A Manchester-favourite for special occasions, Australasia – also known as ‘the one you enter via the glass triangle on the street’ – features a clean, minimal interior, that absolutely oozes chic vibes. The menu is just as wonderful, too, with extensive Australasian-inspired options varying from sushi, Robata grilled meats, Asian small plates and more. Cocktail-wise, it’s quite the field day – with endless Asian-inspired flavours to try out during your visit."

"Modern Australian food with Indonesian and Japanese influences, served in a glamorous subterranean venue in Spinningfields. Pacific Rim flavours are underpinned by classic European cooking techniques in a menu that spans sushi and sashimi to robata grilled meat and fish. Don’t miss the signature black cod."

"This stylish subterranean restaurant in Spinningfields has long been a mecca for Manchester’s elite. Known for its splendid cocktails and sushi plates, this Valentine’s the restaurant will also have a special sharing dessert Valentine’s Bento Box for couples to split between them."
