Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Broadbottom

"Mayur Patel’s family has been cooking some of Britain’s best meat-free Gujarati food for several decades at Prashad restaurant in West Yorkshire. The Bundobust co-owner continues that work in this basement canteen on Piccadilly, where next-level chaat, chole saag, tarka dal, vada pav (the Indian veggie burger) and Bundo’s own bhaji butty are served in street food-style pots alongside A1 craft beers. Bundobust’s taps now feature hazy pale Peela and chai porter Chaitro – the first releases from its new brewery on Oxford Road, which should open to the public in late August."

"Bundobust is another one of these underdogs which is completely turning the concept of ‘fine cuisine’ entirely on its head. No longer does good food feel the need to be served on white table clothes on fine Bone China and washed down with a 2005 Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Nowhere teaches us this lesson better than Bundobust with its 100% vegetarian Indian street food served in paper trays, paper cups and with as much craft beer as you can pour down your gullet."

"The Alpine menu will be offering savoury crepes for one day only, with two different fillings to choose from. You can either go for the black forest ham and cheese, or a sweet potato and spinach filling, both drenched in a rich cheese sauce. There is also a sweet option available - filled with chocolate praline and preserved blood orange slices."

"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."

"One of the wildest restaurants in Manchester, Albert's Schloss doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. Not only can you hunker down for big meat and even bigger Bavarian beer, but also table dancing, entertainment, in-house bands and jaw-dropping antics almost every night."

"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."

"The Refuge, Oxford Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 7HA - Visit now. Big news for those who think lunch is the most important meal of the day. The Refuge has relaunched The People’s Lunch – hearty bowls of soul food for just £7.50."

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

"This venue is well worth a visit if you’re looking to sink fine ale, have a laugh with your mates and unwind after a stressful stint studying. Their hand pulled guest ales and varied Hop Hideout’s bottle selection are mixed with a lively games room including ping pong, table football and vintage arcade games. With an ever-changing bottle list, always stocked with new releases from around the world, you might find it hard not to keep going back."

"Underneath the Abbeydale Picture House, you’ll find the speakeasy-like Picture House Social. A really friendly bar that can sometimes get busy of an evening. Dogs welcome until 9pm – Keep an eye out for the resident dog!"

"The best place for sport, with 15 flat screen TVs, teamed with amazing drink offers and great value for food. Split over two floors you can book area ..."

"If you're more of a beer drinker, BrewChimp on Church Road is the place for you. Alongside venues in Stretford and Flixton, BrewChimp's Urmston haunt is the official home of the local craft beer and wine bar. Promising to ‘do things differently’, the cosy bar is full of quirks (including an old-fashioned shop bell) that’ll make you want to stay for more than just the one drink."

"Situated on the ground floor of Manchester Hall, Masons Restaurant boasts a luxury, art deco-style theme, with warm lighting setting a welcoming mood. Specialising in classic, British dishes, guests can visit for breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday lunch, with an array of gins, cocktails, port and more on the drinks menu. For the grub, expect locally sourced produce making up classic dishes such as Cheshire pork, slow-braised beef cheeks, Manchester cheese pie and Duck Confit – to name a few highlights."

"With its oak panelled walls, ornate plasterwork and polished parquet floors Masons manages to be both glamorous and laid back at the same time. A private members club where everyone is welcome, it boasts its own martini trolley and a vibrant menu celebrating fresh produce from across the UK."

"Located in the refurbished Manchester Hall, you can stay for a long, fine-dining boozy treat or a quick lunch in the Grade-II listed building. British produce is served without fuss in a quality environment, and the martini trolley is a must-try."

"Venue has been able to open in some capacity at various stages since the pandemic began, filling the dancefloor with tables and turning itself into a 'nightpub'. The popular club on Jackson's Row was planning a grand return on 'Freedom Day' but, due to staff self-isolating, will now remain closed until Thursday July 22. Their first event back will be a requests night, where punters pick the music, followed by the Friday indie night Live Forever."

"The Venue is an extremely popular place to head in Manchester if you want a club that’s perfect for any type of group. Throughout the week this club has three events dedicated to a variety of different music genres so keep an eye out on what’s on when you’re there. Overall this nightclub is known for being extremely chilled out with a laid back atmosphere."

The Venue Nightclub is an indie nightclub that offers a free, relaxed and easy-going atmosphere to all their customers."

"This award-winning craft beer bar is situated in the relaxing Spring Gardens. There, you’ll find an array of incredible beers in a wide variety of styles, ranging from the hoppiest of ales straight through to the dark and sour Jolly Pumpkin specials. Their beer list is almost too extensive to make sense of, so it’s best you head there yourself and start to sample all of their delicious craft beers."

"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."

"Manchester's Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art will reopen both of its galleries on Wednesday May 19. Exhibitions Multiplicities in Flux and Autopsy of a Home, which originally opened in October, will be back until June 13. Booking is advised at cfcca.org.uk but walk-ups are welcome."
