Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Gorton

"This Indian eatery first opened in Leeds but has now expanded to become a chain of three, including one branch located in Manchester’s Piccadilly. Hidden down a set of stairs in a basement off an unassuming city centre street, this place might be hard to find, but it’s worth searching for. Most dishes are vegan, including the newly launched for 2020 vada pav burger, which consists of a deep-fried mashed potato ball, red and green chutneys and deep-fried (spicy) green chilli, all in a vegan-friendly bun."

If you’ve done the walk to Market Street from Picadilly Station recently, chances are you’ve seen Bundobust nestled away on Picadilly. It’s a pretty new kid on the block but has already built a reputation for itself as one of the best vegan restaurants in Manchester."

"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."

"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."

"Manchester's first Bavarian bier palace, cook haus and bakery is a cavernous space which sees Pilsner Urquell served straight from huge shiny tanks, while meat comes in the form of steak, schnitzel, curry or bratwurst."

"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."

"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."

"Some of my favourite bars here are Tib Street Tavern, Lammars, Dry Bar and The Terrace. If you head towards the Town Hall and Albert Square, you will find numerous bars and restaurants that all offer great food and reasonably priced cocktails."

"Born in 1995 and taking place every Saturday at Mint Lounge in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter to a consistently full house, Funkademia is said to “feed a friendly crowd with a diet of pure unadulterated soul-funk”. Billing the night as a “chronological history of soul”, there is a collective of talented DJs taking you on a journey through four decades of the very best soul, funk, disco and hip-hop, with a touch of smooth R&B and big house classics. You can find out more about Funkademia and grab tickets here."

"Mint Lounge goes so hard on the smoke machine that if you part with your mates you'll never find them again - but low visibility is soon forgotten once you hear the sounds of its legendary Funkademia club night. Funk, soul and disco are blasted out at this Northern Quarter institution every Saturday, and have been for donkeys - it's Manchester's longest-running club night. 'Seated sessions' started a couple of weeks ago but the Funkademia dancefloor will be back on Saturday July 24."

"Renowned for a ‘no nonsense’ approach to clubbing, Mint Lounge is a sticky-floored student staple. Its nights range from Drum n Bass to cheesy pop. There is something for everyone and plenty of cheap drinks."

"If you’re a lover of all things Italian and don’t mind a tongue-twister, Le Delicatezze Di Bruno will cater for all your carbohydrate needs. Conveniently based in Manchester’s city centre – you can indulge in a 20” pizza for roughly £16."

"Manchester’s music scene is legendary and the city is filled with a whole host of venues where the best bands of all genres can be discovered. While it is hard to say which is the best venue, Band on The Wall is certainly the most experienced, named ‘Manchester’s oldest music venue dating back to 1862’. Band On The Wall is a not-for-profit venue focused on showcasing the best talent around and playing a part in the local community."

"One of Manchester’s most iconic live music venues, Band on the Wall gets a resounding thumbs up from reviewers. People love the eclectic mix of music styles and quiz nights at the Northern Quarter venue, and praised the “intimate venue” “great staff” and “stylish and well-furnished bar”. Band on the Wall, 25 Swan Street, Manchester"

"We are a relaxed, community-focused, all day, dining kind of place, located on the bustling Chester Road at the front of Stretford Mall."

"Bieber burger was outstanding and the cocktail I had was excellent. Friendly and helpful staff ,app makes it easy to order."
