"Magical rooftop bar and restaurant in central Manchester with the motto 'Drink and dine, rain or shine'. Set over three floors, the motto is extra true for the second floor large and more formal restaurant, that comes with an all year alfresco terrace and bar. Open from lunch through dinner, the restaurant and bar serves internationally inspired classics, where the charcoal grill is the main feature, along with a full page of different G&T's and well-crafted signature cocktails."

"Despite having the most unimaginative name in the city, The Restaurant Bar and Grill has held its own over the years as the city has changed unrecognisably around it. With a crowd-pleasing but creative menu featuring all the steak and seafood you'd expect, the "sky garden" was given a massive cash injection in 2012 and is always packed. It might well have the comfiest seats of all roof gardens in Manchester too."

"Located on John Dalton Street, The Restaurant Bar and Grill is known for its mouthwatering menu of steaks that come sourced from Aberdeen, Argentina and Canada. With a swanky roof terrace, this place is perfect for a romantic alfresco date night."
