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.

Honestly me and my friends came here for the first time after a nice meal and this place was incredible. I firstly must say that the guy who ran the place with long brunette hair tied back was absolutely phenomenal. Amazing at his job, with...great customer service and we will definitely return. He even let us get a photo with the MICHELLIN man and then the guests next to us bought it, for us to have some. Honestly this place is incredible, with great music and vibes and we will definitely return! ThankyouMore

10 Stars if we could give them. What an absolute Gem of a place - a group of 8 us around 40 years old having been told that we are too large a group to let in at other bars that evening, despite the fact...we would be no trouble, were about to go home but we had reserved a table here. So glad we did, the minute walked in the staff were nothing but accommodating, had food ready for us (which I'd forgotten we'd ordered!) played some brilliant music - The Smiths, some Green Day, Oasis, U2, great beer, great food, great service they could not do enough. Wish we'd spent our whole evening there. Top top end to a weekend in Manchester and would be back here when next up in a heartbeat.More

Booked this place last minute for our staff night out, wasn’t expecting much but they really delivered when we arrived every cocktail was on point and the hospitality was amazing. The music was great and suited the casual cocktail bar vibe, the bartenders working that...evening catered to our every need and made it a more than enjoyable night. Sorry didn’t quite catch the names of the staff but well done to the two guys on the bar great service 10/10 for both of you. Definitely deserve the 5/5 rating!More

Booked a last min table for me and my boyfriend on an impromptu trip to Manc, what a find it was! Staff super chill and friendly, made to feel right at home. Cosy atmosphere on the inside with good music playing. Good cocktail menu with...classics and house originals. Definitely worth a visit and will be back again.More

Absolutely bouncing even on a Tuesday night. A hidden gem. Only place in the area open after midnight. Convenient for the hotels around the arena.

Thoroughly recommend this if anyone is looking for a gin tasting experience. Our host was knowledgeable, explained the origins of gin and produced several different varieties to taste. Tried a couple of the local gins, and the background stories behind them which was very interesting....Bar has a really cool vibe, and if you're a fan of brit pop you'll enjoy it here. We'll definitely return for an evening on our next visit to Manchester.More

Horrible experience here on Friday night 04/03/22. Me and 4 work colleagues sat down at an empty table with our drinks, and were there for at least 20 minutes before a man came over and told us we had to move. He said he had...been outside smoking but now he wanted this particular table back. One of his friends also came over and they tried to intimidate us into moving. They then somehow got the manager to come over who also told us to move! One of my colleagues asked another member of staff why they were allowing customers to intimidate others and she said "Because they come in here every day"....Seemed really dodgy like the staff were scared of these people and just allowed them to do whatever they want. We refused to move out of principle and then more people came over, and I suggested to a girl that we share the table, to which she replied "I could kick your head in". Awesome. We told the staff about this. They said they had removed them and yet we could see them all crowding round another table...what the hell. Anyway after more complaining they eventually left and the manager came over and apologised - too little too late. The whole situation was really weird and felt super dodgy. My partner messaged the venue the next day as he was really annoyed and I could not believe the response - see picture!More

We went to the launch of the new cocktails menu last night. We tried nearly all of the cocktails everyone of them were amazing so many different flavours and so different from the classic cocktails. We felt like VIP's from the waitresses to the manager...and even the guy that invented the cocktails taking the time to come and talk to us. This is going to be our regular place to go whenever we are in Manchester. I highly recommend this place 10 out of 10 for cocktails, service and atmosphere cant wait to go back.More
