Best Nightlife in Heath Charnock

"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."

"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 Ivy has long-reigned as one of the most beautiful restaurants not only in Manchester but across the UK. Offering up three floors in the Manchester venue – each with a completely different experience – the restaurant is unbeatable if you’re after a lively date night, with a fantastic atmosphere flowing from floor to floor. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stunning, floral brasserie, the second – a decadent, oriental-inspired Asian restaurant, and on the rooftop – a bright, summery floral terrace also serving the varied brasserie menu."

"The Ivy's roof garden is one of the most glamorous places in the city, perfect for celeb-watching. Opulent fabrics, masses of plants and a retractable roof (plus essential heaters) make it an luxurious hangout in all weathers. You can order from a huge menu of food, including afternoon teas and brunches."

"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."

"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."

"Albert’s Schloss, 27 Peter Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M2 5QR - Visit now. A self-confessed ‘bohemian pleasure palace’ taking over the ground floor of established music venue the Albert Hall. The ornate building is a former Wesleyan Chapel built over a century ago."

"A post shared by Albert’s Schloss (@albertsschloss) on Feb 22, 2020 at 12:00am PST. For crêpe lovers, Albert’s Schloss has you sorted this Tuesday. Available for one day only, tuck into their crêpes filled with house-made chocolate praline sauce and preserved blood orange slices, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream."

"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."

"Those dreams of sharing a Roast Platter once more are just weeks away”. The Refuge is known throughout the city for its slap-up Sunday roasts, with the highlight undoubtedly being the ‘Roast Platter’, which lets you combine a choice of meats on offer with a rich range of sides and accompaniments to top it all off. A vegetarian / vegan roast option is also available, alongside extensive drinks and dessert menus."

"An eclectic range of small and large plates designed for sharing.Why go?. Manchester DJ duo Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford, aka Unabomber, have travelled the world playing music and have brought back inspired flavours to create menus that are imaginative and delicious. What's more, the setting is glorious, one of the most stunning interiors in the city."

"Where to begin with this extraordinary “palace of entertainment” right in the heart of Blackpool town centre?. The Grade II listed building, which comprises a whole range of individual venues, each with its own incredible features, is going through a sympathetic programme of refurbishment. Whether it’s the magnificence of the Grand Vestibule, Floral Hall, Opera House and Empress Ballroom, or the wonders of the Galleon Bar, Baronial Hall and Spanish Hall, prepare to be amazed!"

"The Winter Gardens is a unique venue, offering one of the largest theatre stages in the country, the Empress Ballroom home to the World’s largest Dance Festivals."

"Its music ranges from Chart to Cheese, Electro, House, Indie & RnB, with DJ Matt Canning. Nearby: Funny Girls, North Pier, Blackpool North Station, Pelham Lodge. 19 Queen Street, FY1 1NL"

"The Irish pub near the Winter Gardens and the Grand Theatre. Friday and Saturday nights are live music nights with various acts on Saturdays and Irish theme night on Fridays. Nearby: North Pier, Winter Gardens, Opera House, Grand Theatre, Blackpool North Station"

"The Lounges are a group of modern, fun and slightly quirky restaurants. “What is it that people love best about Lounging?"

"Why: If you fancy partying the night away and then re-fuelling with some pizza or fried chicken you’ll want to pay YES Manchester a visit. This bar and food terrace has two options in the form of Pepperoni Playboy Pizza and Fire Bird Hope fried chicken. On the pizza menu you’ll find playfully named slices like Pepperoni Playboy, Psycho Kaler and Gary from Admin (margherita) all priced around the £3 mark."

"One of Manchester’s best gig spots, as well as the perfect spot to grab a beer and socialise, YES is home to both Pepperoni Playboy and Döner Summer – both of which provide bloody good cheap grub suitable for meat-eaters, vegans and vegetarians. Pizza prices start at just £2.80 a slice and full pizzas from just £10, with vegan kebabs from Döner Summer starting at just £6. YES, 38 Charles Street, M1 7DB."

"You’ll have to take a trip down Cannon Street to find this gorgeous little cafe, located off the high street. European style food and cafe is served here with a huge selection of fresh sandwiches, toasties and all under £6. The perfect place to have a bite to eat whilst spending you day shopping and running errands."
