Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Moorside Area

"This trendy foodie outlet sits under the flyover near Manchester Met and Manchester University. Strings of exposed light bulbs cast a hipster twinkle over the self-contained courtyard, and there’s a sun-soaked garden filled with long wooden tables where you can while away summer afternoons. Peruse the artisan beers on tap and by the bottle at Öl nanobrewery."

"Tiny nanobrewery Öl has its own brew kit on-site and makes some fabulous concoctions. But, as a result of the tiny set-up, their own beers usually sell out incredibly fast, so they stock a range of others too. Find them at Hatch on Oxford Road in one of the shipping containers."

"£4.25 for 2 scoops and a topping (they didn’t have the option of plain on the menu, so around £2 per scoop). The ice cream itself was lovely – it had vanilla seeds in it so the flavour was noticeable and it was creamy enough but not overpowering. The honey and roasted mixed nuts topping was a simple choice but it worked really well."
