Best Nightlife in Parrock Street

"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 vegetarian Indian street food restaurant has plenty of options for vegans, such as onion and kale bhajis, vegan Vada Pav and Tarka Dhal. Available to order on Deliveroo from the Northern Quarter restaurant."

"What: Something of an all-rounder, this glamorous Manchester outpost of The Ivy offers menus that take diners through from breakfast till dinner, with brunch and afternoon tea inbetween. The restaurant also comes with two outdoor dining areas, including a rooftop garden that’s available for private hire and a ground floor terrace. While working on your tan, you can tuck Ivy signatures such as the shepherd’s pie and chicken milanese."

"The Ivy Spinningfields is ago-to quirky restaurant if you're after a night of sophisticated dining in a luxurious setting. With its patterned interiors, emerald green bar and picture perfect rooftop terrace, the venue serves a brasserie-style menu with handcrafted cocktails to match."

"One of the largest restaurants to open in the UK in 2018 with 535 covers, The Ivy Spinningfields is set over four floors with a ground floor brasserie, ..." Read our full review"

"Albert's Schloss is one heck of a party restaurant, overflowing with oompah bands, bier steins and all the Bohemian beauties you could possibly ask for. Whether you're heading down for their regular Sunday service or Kunst Kabaret, you're sure to have plenty of Insta-moments."

"Manchester's first Bavarian bier palace, cook haus and bakery is a cavernous space which sees Pilsner Urquell served straight from huge shiny tanks, while meat comes in the form of steak, schnitzel, curry or bratwurst."

"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."

"Oxford Road’s hotel-turned-bar and restaurant The Refuge might not be top of your list when looking for no-money fun in Manchester, but head to its secluded and spacious back room and you’ll find pool tables and table football – both of which can be enjoyed for free. All you need to provide is a contender and a will to win."

"Serving up classic South American dishes, Las Iguanas at Deansgate is a guaranteed fun night out. With a lovely patio for outdoor dining, paired with the flavorful dishes and handcrafted cocktails, it would be hard not to imagine yourself on a warm beach somewhere."

"Walk through the doors of Las Iguanas and find yourself transported to Latin America, full of rich, vibrant colours, quirky features and custom-made wooden mosaic tables made especially. Description | Map | Menu | More details"

"Another Latin American inspired restaurant for those of you that love Latin cuisines!. Las Iguanas is great, and their bottomless brunch offer is even greater. What more could you want?"

"Once the restrictions are lifted, we are available for a range of occasions, for dining, parties, private meals, celebrations and funerals."

"Taking kids on outdoor activities is a must when you visit a city like Bradford. One of the best places to take the kids for this purpose is Roberts Park. This very clean, well-maintained, and vast park offer so much space for the kids to walk around and experience closeness to nature."

"Hidden just off Cop Lane in Penwortham, Hurst Grange Park is the largest park in Penwortham and was once owned by William Adam Hulton's family in the now demolished Hurst Grange mansion. The park is now full of mature trees and rolling hills, ponds and wildflower meadows. Hurst Grange Coach House, is the only part of the original building that remains standing and is opened occasionally for events, including the annual Penwortham Live."

"Travel a bit outside Manchester's city center to the Salford Museum and Art Gallery, which is situated int heart of Peel Park. First opened in 1850, the museum features both permanent displays and changing contemporary exhibitions, with free admission for all visitors. One of the museum's highlights is Lark Hill Place, a recreated Victorian street that lets visitors experience what life was like in Victorian Salford."

"CFCCA is the UK leader in Chinese visual culture, with a reputation for debut solo exhibitions and a roster of internationally-renowned artists; impressive considering that, three decades ago, it was just a series of events in Manchester’s Chinatown. As Manchester’s Chinese population is second only to London’s, the centre’s heritage is particularly important; now represented in a new archive and library. Best feature: A vibrant events schedule, spanning film screenings to workshops and even Mandarin lessons"

"Centre For Chinese Contemporary Art is a unique art gallery with a year-round programme of socially engaged exhibitions, events, and artist residencies. They have over 30 years experience of working with emerging and established artists to provide a space for conversation, debate, and cross-cultural exchange. They are the go-to place to discover new artists and explore relevant global issues from different international perspectives."

"CFCCA reopens with a duo of exhibitions investigating and unpicking themes of belonging, identity and citizenship in a globalised and hyper-connected society. Housed in CFCCA’s Northern Quarter galleries, the exhibitions are just a few minutes’ walk from the Arndale Shopping Centre. Multiplicities in Flux brings together works by contemporary artists Grace Lau and Eelyn Lee in a dialogue around identity and belonging."

"33 Oldham Street is a party palace that also happens to provide sustenance for the following morning. The Norther Quarter brunch restaurant will fill you up with English breakfasts, bacon sarnies and vegan hash. And come summer, head up to the roof terrace for cocktails and tanning."

"Italian restaurant, Pasta Factory has always had a great selection of vegan dishes and has even got its own range of homemade vegan cheeses. Plant-based options include Triangoli di Funghi al Tartugo (a mushroom and truffle pasta dish with cashews) and Molle con Crema di Aglio Nero (short pasta with black garlic, shredded red pepper, chillies and almonds). Delivery is available via Uber Eats and Deliveroo."

"Indulge in some authentic Italian pasta at The Pasta Factory. It’s not strictly a vegan- or vegetarian-only restaurant, as meat dishes are also available, but there’s a healthy variety of options for those looking for something plant-based. From the vegan spinach and potato ravioli to the hazelnut and chocolate mousse, you’ll be able to get both dinner and dessert – all for a reasonable price."
