Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Eccleston

"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."

"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."

"Why:A Bavarian beer hall in Manchester might not scream breakfast or brunch to you, but this venue in fact houses its very own bakery, meaning fresh bread and pastries whenever you visit. Each day brings its own unique artisan loaf, with the weekends being reserved for an olive and thyme fougasse on Saturdays, and Sundays seeing a roasted fig and hazelnut loaf on offer. For a sweeter start to the day indulge in a morning bun which is made from croissant dough doused in cinnamon sugar and hot chocolate sauce."

"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."

"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."

"Visited most days of the week for the sole purpose of snapping the perfect shot, The Refuge in the Principle Hotel is literally what Instagram dreams are made of. The elegant hotel dining room with its ceramic pillars, atrium ceiling and botanic-style Winter Garden, is teeming during the evenings with local bloggers and the crème de la crème of the Manchester scene. Grab a coffee here during the day and get the ultimate Insta café pic."

"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 Beach House is arguably the most ‘classy’ of restaurants in Blackpool and whilst not aimed mainly at families, is very welcoming and does have special family days (think last one we went to was Christmas to visit Santa). Probably the easiest restaurant to find, The Beach House is on the ‘sea-side’ of the promenade almost opposite the tower. The food is fresh and delicious and varied…."

"Finally, this smart bistro is loved for its fabulous sea views and elegant food, serving breakfast lunch and dinner. The main menu offers fresh, creative dishes such as Seafood Tagliatelle, Chicken Shish with Saffron Rice or a healthy Buddha Bowl with tofu, grains and seeds. Kids can also tuck into fish and chips, sausages or pizza from the children’s menu."

"Churrasco is a South American eatery specialising in Angus beef steaks grilled on an open log fire. The restaurant claims they source “only the very finest quality Angus beef from around the world”, with all steaks cooked to the diner’s liking. The venue is very tastefully designed, with a South American theme."

"The Bridge is a solid choice for a great night out in Blackpool. The venue is rather family-friendly, with regular shows, quiz nights and karaoke available among other entertainment options. Entry is free of charge, and drinks come at low prices."

"People who think vegans just eat boring salads have clearly never heard of The Thirsty Scholar. This vegan pub spends most of its time playing host to bands, comedy nights and poetry readings, serving up a menu of hearty grub with a plant-based twist."

"Southport's Bold Hotel had its grand reopening on Saturday, March 5, following a multimillion pound makeover. The Bold Hotel, located on Lord Street in Southport town centre, recently underwent a refurbishment. Now, the modern hotel boasts a sophisticated restaurant, bar area - and even outside seating."

"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."

"Swanky restaurant and bar by day, mad night club by night... Impossible has made quite a splash on the Manchester nightlife scene. Expect everything from sexy performances and fire-breathers to cocktails and Champagne showers at this unique venue."

"They include performances by some of the U.K’s best impersonators from Tom Jones to George Michael a Legend’s show is a world-class entertainment spectacular. On Trip Advisor it gets fabulous reviews but I just hate paying that much for tribute shows so we didn’t go."
