Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Lydgate

"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."

"A vegetarian and predominantly gluten-free restaurant, Bundobust is serving some of Manchester's best cheap eats. For just £6, you can munch on a bhaji butty, vada pav veggie burger and raghda pethis mushy pea cakes, with a wide choice of cocktails to top it off."

"One of the best vegetarian Indian restaurants in Manchester, Bundobust is a great idea for people looking for top-notch grub that won't break the bank. Expect to find flavoursome curries and sides, all washed down with delicious craft beer."

"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."

"One of the most traditional Instagrammable places in Manchester is Albert Schloss. Albert Schloss has a fabulous storefront decorated with Wisteria and I can guarantee you, that you won’t miss the restaurant, as there is always a group of people taking photos of this incredibly beautiful Instagrammable restaurant in Manchester. Albert Schloss is a German restaurant as you might guess from the name, so expect the German menu and some really great desserts."

"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."

"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."

"An eclectic range of small and large plates designed for sharing.Why go?. Manchester DJ duo Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford, aka Unabomber, have travelled the world playing music and have brought back inspired flavours to create menus that are imaginative and delicious. What's more, the setting is glorious, one of the most stunning interiors in the city."

"This quirky city centre restaurant features some of the Manchester's best outdoor dining opportunities. Check our The Refuge's courtyard space, where handcrafted cocktails, flavoursome international dishes and a regular roster of unmissable DJ nights are at the forefront."

"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."

"Sunny days lounging on the Piccy House terrace, cocktail in hand and soundtracked by an outdoors DJ set may well seem like a lifetime ago. However, there’s no need to wallow in the past, dear reader, as their delightful suntrap has had a bit of a spruce-up and will be back in action as of 12th April. Joining them will be their sibling joint Public, who will be slinging out award-winning sups in a five-week pop-up stint."

"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. Oh, and a gig room too, the list is never-ending!. This Sheffield institution ticks all the boxes and a must for our guide to the best beer gardens in Sheffield."

"Manchester’s legendary stand-up comedy club remains an ever-popular destination, and has hosted pretty much every big name in comedy over the past 19 years. TripAdvisor reviewers had high praise for the venue’s staff, drinks and hot food offering. Typical reviews include: “Food was good, staff friendly and comedy funny."

"The one you think of when someone says comedy in Manchester. Located on Deansgate Locks, this perfectly placed club offers some of the best stand up in town. Their auditorium set up makes it perfect for stand up."

"A newcomer to leafy Nether Edge, the Nether Edge bar & venue is a welcoming bar serving up British classic pub food from Emma’s Bistro. Dogs welcome and plenty of outdoor space. Beer garden available"

"Undoubtedly Sheffield’s most opulent Italian, Rossi’s pairs a grand over the top dining room with a menu of comforting Italian trattoria staples, all at very reasonable prices. Regular live music is a nice touch, too."

"Serving on Saturdays and Sundays only, the York knocks up a solid brunch menu with all the egg staples (florentine, Benedict, baked) alongside other traditional dishes like smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Other dishes dishes include brioche French toast, which you can wash down with one of their speciality brunch cocktails, such as a marmarita (marmalade, triple sec, lime, and tequila)."

"The York is a great mixture of local pub with a high end, modern twist. You’ll find a good selection of alcoholic drinks and a menu that gives their take on traditional pub grub. Beer garden out back too!"

"From the makers of Altrincham’s Market House food hall, this city-centre spin-off corrals a similarly stellar lineup of traders (burger and steak stars Tender Cow, Honest Crust, Pico’s Tacos, New Wave Ramen, Mumma’s Fried Chicken) into Mackie Mayor, in the Grade II-listed former Smithfield market. Look out for irregular special events, such as dinners on 1 and 8 July with hotly tipped Manc pop-up Higher Ground, creators of the already-legendary oxtail madras pasty. No bookings, outdoor seating available, app-ordering, currently card-only."

"A European-style food market spread over two floors, Mackie Mayor serves up a whole host of wonderful dishes from the individual vendors. It’s a big bright space that photographs super well, although it does get packed at the weekends. You’ll find them here."

"You can pick up a tasty meal from a number of independent vendors, grab a coffee, or even a pint. 📍 Where can I find it?. Mackie Mayor, 1 Eagle St, Manchester, M4 5BU"
