Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Chinley

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"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."

"A great choice for Indian street food and craft beers, Bundobust never disappoints. Think okra fries, bhaji butties and paneer tikka washed down with drinks from natural wines and IPAs to quirky cocktails."

"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 Manchester staple, Albert's Schloss known for traditional German food and pilsner beers. While many people flock to this restaurant for dinner and live music, you can't pass up the chance to try their breakfast. Their Bavarian-inspired dishes made fresh in their cook haus may be the centrepiece of the meal."

"Albert Schloss is a bavarian-style bar located on Peter Street, between Deansgate and St Peter Square. It’s a very cool place to go for a drink or food in the evening. They often have live music and people are usually dancing everywhere!"

"Housed inside the beautifully grand Principle hotel on Oxford Road, the Refuge is one of Manchester’s most stylish hangouts. The clientele ranges from touring rock stars to local fashion bloggers, all sipping on delicious cocktails and relaxing among the beautiful décor. If you want to really nail that Instagram shot, take a seat in the winter garden and ask your companion to photograph you beside one of the fairy-light lit trees."

"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."

"The Refuge is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the entire Manchester. The entrance is stunning and the overall environment is great. I also liked the menu – it seemed pretty unique with a lot of small plates from all around the world."

"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!"

"Ask Didsbury folk about the Sunday roasts served up at Volta, and you’ll only hear good things. Catering for all tastes, you can choose from either grass-fed rump of Yorkshire roast beef, roasted poussin with lemon and thyme, or the vegetarian / vegan wild mushroom wellington, all complete with a rich range of sides and accompaniments to top it all off, as well as a selection of mouth-watering puddings. You can find Sunday menus, more information about COVID-safe guidelines and book your table ahead of reopening via the Volta website here."

"You’ll find small plates, deli boards and charcuterie in this intimate Didsbury bistro bar, as well as weekend brunch and sharing Sunday roast platters. Dishes include smoked feta with beetroot, Lebanese lamb chops and seabass with cabbage, chilli and lime."

"Volta is owned by Luke ‘Unabomber’ Cowdrey and Justin Crawford – the DJ-restauranteur duo behind Chorlton’s Electrik bar, the Electrik Chair club night, and Refuge by Volta in Manchester city centre’s Kimpton Clocktower Hotel."

"The Eagle is a destination for fans of Thornbridge brewery, great beers on tap with nibbles to go alongside. Keep an eye out for their beer tasting events. Outdoor seating available"

"Shakedown make some ridiculously good milkshakes – even have one tailor-made for Mancunians; the Manchester Bee Shake with Honeycomb Pieces, Honey Comb Syrup & Whipped Cream. There’s also an Oreo-infused shake packed with cookies and cream, and a tantalising menu chocked full of waffle creations from a classic flavour of fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce. The pick of the bunch is perhaps the Road Block: Which is stuffed with Oreos, Crispy M&Ms, White Kinder Bueno, White Chocolate Drizzle and Nutella Drizzle."

"Veggie & Vegan Friendly – Burgers are everywhere, lets face it. But we believe that there is only a handful of places doing the burger justice and Twisted Burger Company is one of them. They’ve collaborated with the legendary team over at Drop Dead to create their very own vegan feast and believe us this duet is one not to pass by."

"The Twisted Burger Co. is served at both The Harley (until 4am!) and The Riverside, specialising in slightly bonkers, and rather massive, burgers as well as messy, delicious fries, shakes and sides. Their menu is music-themed and ever changing."

"Stanton Moor is another beautiful area for easy nature walks through changing terrains. Throughout one walk, you can enjoy ancient mossy trees, open areas overgrown with gorgeous seas of purple Heather, birch growth, and a path taking you through the lush tall fern. There are also more than 70 ancient burial mounds upon the moor, and Bronze Age stone circles, constructed by the people who lived and worked there4,000 years ago."

"The Round Walk is a 15-mile loop that covers all of the Sheffield landscape; from the urban buildings to the rural valleys. The loop is split into four sections, so you don’t have to do the full length. See the Beauchief Abbey in Sheaf Valley and Bishops’ House in the Gleadless Valley."

"Sheffield round walk starts from Endcliffe Park and is a 15-miles long walk. You can access the map of this place from their official website. This exclusive activity offers the most picturesque views."
