Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

On Saturday 4th November I came for bottomless brunch with my partner. ‘George’ who I’m assuming was the head chef made our experience extremely warming and welcoming. The service was excellent along with the food. I suggest anyone travelling to Jimmys to try the Calamari...as it was the best I’ve ever had. Me and my Partner will definitely be returning. Thanks again George!More

Been before for a Sunday dinner which was fantastic and excited to come back now the roasts are back on. Turned up this time to an empty restaurant and to find out they're under staffed with only one staff member available and currently working downstairs....Grateful to the chef who honestly told us about the situation and even tried to accommodate for our booking but at this point we decided to leave it. If you don’t have enough staff available for having the restaurant open please don’t accept bookings for it or at least cancel them to save us wasting our time. Very disappointing, we were truly looking forward to it.More

BOTTOMLESS Brunch so slow that we had to go to the bar to get a refill of 2 bottles of water to go with the food before we even got the second round of drinks to the table. We were a pre-booked table of 11...and there was one poor girl working the upstairs taking orders and making the drinks for us and the other groups that were there. Staffing levels were inadequate and when another girl came up briefly she took our order but never actually gave it to the bar, resulting in only reviewing 2 rounds in over an hour into a"bottomless" brunch. When questioned, the size of the group was the excuse given, but if the cocktails like pornstar martinis aren't going to have prosecco or garnishes on, you may as well pre-mix them to save time or have a table runner to take away plates and glasses/ deliver from the bar. Overall shocking service and a massive let down on quality... Had to pay extra for some mayonnaise to go with the dry chicken tenders that didn't come with anything. Will not be coming back and recommend other people to avoid as well!More

It seems that a different company have taken over because the entire place is so different. We used to come in once a week for burgers or a roast but now it is just a basic pizza place with awful staff. The staff are plainly...RUDE compared to the group of young girls who used to make such a fuss of us whenever we came in to eat! Now the staff look miserable and it doesn't feel like a proper NQ bar at all, just average pizza and rude staff. I feel like perhaps new owners have implemented some corporate rules and the atmosphere just isn't what is was? My husband and I used to come in and chat to the hostesses for ages, getting to sample cocktails and complementary prosecco, now it feels so cheap! NOT impressed with what seems like new ownership. Wasted my evening last night, needs proper food back and more friendly staff I didn't feel welcome at all and I WAS a regular!! As an Ancoats local don't botherMore

Great vibe in Jimmy's. Enjoyed the atmosphere,Jimmy's cider and the fab food. Visited on Wednesday evening while staying in Manchester. Three of us decided to share a selection of starters between us instead of having a main meal each. We had the cock fingers,warpigs,Fleetwood mac...n cheese with brisket and cheesy loaded fries with bacon jam. When the dishes came we couldn't believe they were starters the portion sizes were really good, the flavours on all the dishes were delicious tender chicken in a light spicy batter , juicyribs, melt in the mouth brisket in the mac n cheese and sweet bacon n jam on the cheesy loaded fries. We couldn't finish the dishes as the portions were so filling. Along with super friendly staff we had a great time. Well worth a visit.More

Sunday lunch, beef was fabulous, I loved the veg my husband wasn't keen. Was all very modern style (baby parsnips, baby multicoloured carrots, kale, tenderstem broccoli). We agreed roasties and Yorkshire pud appeared homemade and were lovely. Gravy bit thin (comes in a teapot for...fun) Menu is very limited. 3 starters. 3 mains, 1 dessert for Sunday lunch. They tried to serve me Hendrix Gin with lime as they had no cucumber and no lemon. I opted to swap for a beer. The Jimmy Hendrix decor, doesn't match the genre of the keyboard player who was on. He was good but the place seems to lack identity. Also there were 3 kitchen staff, 3 servers, 3 bar staff and the keyboard guy for about 20 customers. Doesn't seem cost effective to me. Toilets are downstairs in the bar, restaurant is upstairs.More

This was our first visit to this bar but it won’t be our last. It has real character and offers something different to many other places. They seem to do their own range of beers which are interesting and tasty. I had their version of...Guinness which was very good but they also do a honey IPA which I believe uses hives around Manchester as a supply! The service is really nice and it was great to be able to sit outside and enjoy everything going on around us.More

I have been to Jimmy's a number of times now and I really do love this place. The atmosphere outside is ace and the Aperol Spritz are great and have NO SODA in as they shouldn't! :) Last weekend I tried a few small plates...as did my colleagues at work and the food was exceptional to be fair however to charge £6 for 3 chicken wings is a bit of a farce to be honest. When you have so many restaurants that do wings to a high standard but at such a cheap price, i find it difficult to understand where Jimmy's get their pricing from. You can buy wings for pennies so to be charging £2 per wing really doesn't sit well. Realistically 5 wings at this price would be fair but still not cheap when wings cost naff all. Having said that, they were some of the best wings in MCR and the other smaller dishes were lovely too (although still rather pricey). The only other negative is the aircon doesn't work inside and I felt bad for the staff as it was really hot and the beer wasn't cold and was really flat which needs sorting as it's happened twice now. Apart from this, I would definitely recommendMore

The original Jimmy's was my all time favourite bar in Manchester where you'd go for excellent drinks and to listen to rock'n'roll music like Stones, Bowie, Beatles, Strokes etc and stay until late. These days they play quiet, cheesy 80s music and close at midnight....Safe to say its no longer a rock'n'roll bar and I even asked the doorman if it's no longer rock'n'roll and he said it isn't. I spoke to a few former regulars who said it's just like any other bar now. The branding is still there and it looks like Jimmy's, the staff is friendly, the drinks are good and reasonably priced and to be fair, the food looks really good - just wouldn't describe this place or the food as rock'n'roll. Apart from that it's a former cool bar that's gone 9-5 and it feels a bit like when Kings of Leon released Sex on Fire and became mainstream, plain and a lot less original.More
