“ I have been here a few times over the years and always been meaning to leave a review. I have just been for lunch taking advantage of their 10 lunches & drink offer. I believe it was cheeseburger, chicken burger, half rack of ribs or 8 wings, from memory. Which is a great price in comparison to places around and it was deelicious! Highly recommend for lunch. It was very quiet as we arrived just after opening at midday, so a very fast service and great music. ”
“ Came for drinks yesterday and loved it! It was packed and really good vibes, we sat outside and got chips aswell which were AMAZING and served in such a great portion size. The female staff member with tattoos was lovely and overall a great experience. Will defo b back ! Xx ”
“ Love this place and we would 100% come back. From the minute you walk in the atmosphere is great, they have a great selection of drinks and something for everyone, the music is a perfect volume so you can hear each other but not anyone else, the service is bang on. We came on a monday and they had 50% off food. before we ordered, he advised certain items will have a 5 surcharge. The food is amazing and full of flavour, some of the best smash burgers we've had, and the pulled beef fries are to die for. The only reason the food got knocked down slightly is due to the chicken burger and the chicken tray, we found they were on the tougher side due to being fried for too long. The flavour was great, but it was only this that let it down....but in hindsight, we may have just got slightly unlucky Food 9/10 Service 10/10 Vibe 10/10 ”
“ The food was unbelievable- the staff super friendly and just a general nice place to hang around and catch up with friends. Would highly recommend. I will be back ”
“ Throwback to a little spot of dinner in Manchester. Being recommended by a local we decided to stop in for food. It’s certainly a lively place with a great atmosphere fitting the New York bar theme. However, if you’re wanting a nice quiet meal, or some good conversation, be prepared to a bit loud. The menu isn’t massive but if you’re after ribs, chicken or burgers, then you should be happy. They offer 3 burgers with one being Cajun fried chicken and a Beyond Meat burger. Then there’s the meat trays, ribs, and wings with a range of fries. There’s a different menu on Sundays so do check it out online. I had the Maple Bacon Double Cheese Burger which consisted of a Double Smash Burger, Streaky Maple Bacon, House Burger Sauce, American Cheese, Pickles, Iceberg Lettuce served in a Seeded Brioche Bun which is unusual and Brioche’s are usually bald! Oh! Not forgetting a side of Tiki salted fries which comes with the burger. Good range of crafts beers on draught but mostly bottles or cans with most coming from the US and the UK keeping the vibe. There’s a decent cocktail list too and the Zombie Steins looked interesting! We instead decided on a bottle of Argentina’s Zuccardi Malbec which was accompanied our grub well. If you like the music and the vibe, then you should like it here. Especially if you want a good burger or tray of ribs. ”
“ Love it. Amazing food. Really nice place. Got the big mixed meat tray with an extra rib and cheesy truffle fries. Beautiful ”
“ Went to see Slipknot the other night and came here for food. Had the pork ribs and my god they were delicious. I also had chicken tenders which were really good. Friends had the beef ribs and the chicken platter which they both loved. One thing I'd change, Manchester has some great breweries so maybe get some of their beers on tap. Would definitely come back. ”
“ Fantastic and amazing place, great food and lovely atmosphere! ”
