Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Fernilee Reservoir

"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."

"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 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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"These guys are big players in the city’s food and drink scene as they’ve got everything you need for a guaranteed great time – Neopolitan style pizzas, craft beer, cocktails, music, a games room, a mini cinema and an outdoor terrace.

"Got a hankering for Italian street food and unlimited drinks?. Head down to this Abbeydale Road restaurant and bar where they're bringing a brilliant bottomless brunch offering every weekend with Neapolitan-style pizzas and a never-ending supply of espresso martinis, strawberry daiquiris and classic fizz."

"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!"

"A cosy little corner bar with over 20 taps and plenty of drink to choose from for fans of craft beer. Outdoor seating available"

"Looking for a boutique hotel in Manchester for a foodie base?. When a hotel’s reception doubles up as a cocktail bar you know you’re in for a good time.

"If you're looking for some of the best craft beer in Sheffield's Cutlery Works, you'll want to make a beeline for Boozehound. Their ethos has always been about connecting people to local breweries, which is why you'll find a stellar line-up of fresh pints and cans from the likes of Abbeydale, Little Critters, Thornbridge and more."

"One of the coolest places to eat in Sheffield, Cutlery Works is not just the largest food hall in the city, it's the biggest in the whole of northern England. Head over to Neepsend Lane where the former factory is housing a whole load of excellent independent vendors, from artisan chocolate makers to sandwich connoisseurs."

"One of the first places to open up in the now uber-trendy Northern Quarter the Frog and Buckets plays host to Manchester's longest-running comedy club. Not only some fantastic homegrown talent, but comedy greats also pass through from all over the world. There are two opportunities every week to enjoy a giggle, their 'Barrel of Laughs' night and also their open mic night 'Beat the Frog'."

"To the south of the city centre is another legendary club, being The Leadmill Sheffield. A favourite place to party for locals and students alike since opening in 1980, this historic venue has hosted some of the biggest bands in history, most notably The Killers, Snow Patrol, The Libertines, Coldplay and even local band Arctic Monkeys before their huge rise to fame!. Nowadays, it still hosts some fantastic bands and live music events."

"An icon of independent music in Sheffield, the Leadmill has been at the centre of the city’s music scene for three decades. The 80s brought everything from post punk to Culture Club to the venue. In the 90s it was Britpoppers Oasis, The Verve, Elastica and Suede, and the grungier likes of Babes in Toyland and Mudhoney."

"Five-star hotel The Lowry underwent a swanky new makeover in late 2019, including a new look for the two-AA-rosette restaurant and bar. Their luxurious dining & drinking terrace is the perfect place to relax out of reach of the bustle of the city centre. With a sunny view of the River Irwell and hospitality to beat, this is a luxury to be experienced in Manchester."

"Situated in The Lowry Hotel on the Manchester/ Salford border, this fine dining breakfast menu is unbeatable. The restaurant itself is glass-walled and overlooks the Santiago Calatrava’s Trinity Bridge. The decor includes purple leather chairs, semi-circular banquettes, Fornasetti plates and mirrors."

"Masterchef champion Simon Wood’s first restaurant is a relaxed venue with a wide range of choices to dine from. An a la carte menu featuring dishes that led Simon to his Masterchef title, and a seven-course tasting menu with exceptional wines to match. The open kitchen means you’ll spend every dining experience watching Simon create the dishes that brought him to the fore in 2015."
