First of all I have to mention the transformation ...

First of all I have to mention the transformation this place has undergone. A total transformation of the space and feel from the Thomas St Restaurant, the previous occupier, the 3 floors all have a unique style and feel very much like different venues, the attention to detail that has gone into each floor is amazing, if you like design check out some of the signs, they are a work of art. Each with it's own unique features but all welcoming and cosy, the Tap Room was hammered even on a Thursday but the others were quite quiet.

When we arrived we were whisked to the First Floor Bar which looks and feels like something out of 1930's New York, the detailing in the decor and menu's is phenomenal.
The service was top class and our waitress gave us great recommendations on the food and drinks.
To the important stuff, the food, we opted for the Rib Roll and a selection of sides. The 11" roll is a delicacy, the coleslaw is a perfect accompaniment to the perfectly cooked rib meat. Though the stand out for us was the sides, the Jalapenos in Smoking Jackets & Smoke Pit Beans with Burnt Ends were probably the best sides I've ever had in Manchester
I'd have no hesitation ordering a table full of them whilst sampling some of the awesome cocktails.

My only minor negative is that the drink menu differs depending which floor you are on, I can understand that with signature cocktails but for things like draft beer it's a bit of a pain if you have to order on different levels if members of group want different. Luckily for us our waitress went downstairs to get us the draft beers though not sure that would happen if it was busier.

Will definitely be returning.
