Fantastic bottomless brunch! Had salt n pepper calamari with lots of prosecco and pornstar martini's, great staff especially Anna who was there with our drinks and Amy at the bar, couldn't do enough for us would give 10 stars if I could 😁

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
Came here for bottomless brunch, food was class and the lovely Anna and Colette were amazing behind the bar - we were never without a drink. Great atmosphere good music. Would definitely recommend !! 🍸
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
Hi Elmer, Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we really do appreciate all customer feedback and work hard to incorporate it in our working practices. We're glad that you enjoyed our Sunday Roast, for the most part. The roasties and Yorkshire pud...More

Check this place out. Quiet Tuesday drinking decent beer. Great service from the lad behind the bar. Good ideas of where to get decent beer around Manchester too Jimmy’s Honeycombe pale ale is the bizMore
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! We're so happy to hear our bar staff have been as helpful and amazing as usual- we're so proud of them. We're looking forward to seeing you for another pint...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
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! Buzzing to know you're a fan of our Honeycomb Pale Ale and Irish Cream draft beers, we're extremely proud of them. I'm so glad your service was great, we're so proud...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
Hi Nat, Thanks so much for this wonderful review, I can't tell you how joyous it is to hear someone speak of the TRUE Aperol Spritz spec ;-) We're terribly sorry that you felt the price point for our wings wasn't fair. I'm sure plenty...More
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
Hi Liv, I'm so sorry to hear that upon your last visit Jimmy's didn't hit the same spot for you that it used to. We still build our vision for all venues around the core principles that guided us when we opened the doors to...More
SO happy to have the doors of our beloved Jimmy’s back open! Visited today for a Sunday roast, and as expected it did not disappoint🥳👏🏽 The food was absolutely fantastic, we especially enjoyed the beef, yorkshires, stuffing and of course the bottomless gravy- this is...what dreams are made of😍 We were served by the lovely Tara, who was very friendly and attentive❤️ it was also nice to see some familiar faces from the Liverpool Jimmy’s in the kitchen cooking up a (very tasty) storm😁🍽 Thanks Jimmy’s for a fab Sunday, see you guys soon!🤩⚡️🥂✨More
Hi Ellen! Wow, thank you so much for this beautiful review! We're always so pleased to hear from OG Jimmy's warriors, keeping the atmosphere as crunchy as our infamous NQ gaff is really important to us and so your comments really do hit a sweet...More
We had a fantastic time at Jimmy's last week. The food is unique as well as varied and exceptionally well cooked. The atmosphere in Jimmy's is fantastic. The chilled relaxed atmosphere complements the simple decor. What makes Jimmy's though is the staff ; from front...of house to the chefs everyone took pride in their work and this shone through. We will definitely be back !More
