Bares de Manchester Reviews

Lovely place with soul. And the food is delicious. A must visit!

Absolutely loved The Molly House! Had a fab night, with great freshly cooked tasty tapas - can honestly say it's the best I've ever had. Cosy, friendly atmosphere; friendly efficient staff; quick service. What more could you want?! Small but perfect for get togethers or after work drinks and food. Will definitely make it my go to place for quick but delish food and after work Friday night drinks.

Not a vegan. The vegan dishes were delicious. I hope to find out more about their food here.

The decor is great, and the staff are the right kind of friendly.

Great bar. A little bit pricey but a good atmosphere

Dog friendly.

Nice bar just off of Canal Street, outdoor seating out the front and a good few seats indoors.

Good selection of drinks too.

Classic friendly atmosphere with great staff and excellent choice of drinks and food.

Fun place to be in Manchester's bustling canal street..

Absolutely loved it. Cosy, Great music. Nice beers and a fantastic atmosphere. I will definitely stop by more often.

Best place for a quiet pint near Canal Street. Good food, great atmosphere, top notch staff.

Lovely and cosy LGBT pub with a smoking balcony and great, if pricey, good and tapas.

We met for a drink and tapas. Best tapas I've ever had. Chilled atmosphere and lovely staff. I'll be back there again very soon.

Great beer friendly atmosphere. Nice staff and good for talking with friends.

Finally a gay PUB for people who like a pint of good beer and dont want to suffer horrible gay anthems, wipe clean furnishings and crappy beer that you get in the rest of the village. Has a lot of character and the music is always mellow and at an appropriate level that you can actually hear the person sat next to you talk (yes im getting old!).
the clientiele swing more toward the beary and older end of the gay spectrum. Can get a bit cramped at certain times of the evening. Great smoking balcony.
Food a bit pricey for my slender budget but whenever ive treated myself its always been very tasty with a Spanish tapas theme.

Never never has a bad pint in here. Also great range of other drinks. Quick and knowlageble service. Upstairs room is cool place to hang out and has outside balcony for you smokers and vapists

Great place but we went here on a friFri night, it was quite,the music was sort of Cuban slow smoochy stuff enough to send me to sleep, price of the drinks reasonable for the village however for a Friday night at least play music that doesn't send you snoozing and understand what they are singing about,felt like I was on a really naf llast minute dot com holiday to Spain with over 90's club

Adore the MOLLY HOUSE. Lovely ambiance. Little retro is brill. Great staff. WELL DONE C U SOON.

Quaint little pub tucked away just off the main area of Canal Street. Can be a bit of a wait at the bars if large groups enter on nights with little staff but the atmosphere is enjoyable. Ideal place for a post work drink.

Nice place, good beer and drinks, nice options for food

Small intimate place to eat .... tapas and varied burger offer.

Probably largest selection of spirits around. Gets a bit busy and can slow down the service as they don't seem to put many staff on the bars though

Perfect quiet place for a pint of 'lost in IKEA' or a hot chocolate with loads of marshmallows!

A fine meeting, eating and drinking place. Well recommended with friendly staff.

A small casual places for a few drinks or some tapas. LGBT friendly. Good food at a good price.

One of the best, if not the best place, to eat in the village. The tapas here is fantastic as are the other menu courses. Good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Staff are friendly and attentive even at the busiest of times. Social distancing measures are spot on, as is the cleaning of tables once customers have departed. Will be back again soon

Excellent bar tucked away behind canal st, good selection of ales and a serious selection of gins and rum. Very welcoming bar staff

Fantastic food and the cask beer is excellent too. Staff really friendly. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful place , cracking food, great drinks and great feel and atmosphere !

Good atmosphere, good drinks. Make sure to book a table

Nice slightly hidden away place. Good real ale selection. Spacious. Something missing from the atmosphere. Good enough though

Ah-may-zing! Absolutely beautifully cooked food, amazing atmosphere and fabulous staff. Words can't say how much I loved this place. A tiny hidden gem

My favourite bar in the city centre, much quieter than most places in the gay village. Good selection of beer, a choice of the downstairs space which is unfussy and the upstairs bar which is plusher. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Best choice of real ales in the Village. Great atmosphere but tends to be very busy on Friday & Saturday evenings. Still my favourite Village bar.

Good ambiance, good food, reasonably price. One of the nicest bar of the village

Nice food and beer
Vegetarian alternatives

Nice place but bloody freezin had to ask for heating to be turned on

Great selection of top shelf drinks in a excellent atmosphere. Also the cleanest toilets I've ever seen in a bar!

Love the molly for day drinking always pleasant and great drinks selection

Great beer great bar staff and really cosy bar will return next time I'm in Manchester

Friendly relaxed space with a great selection of interesting gins, whiskies, and other spirits. The village needs more venues of this quality.

Friendly staff that know their beers and great food, including a great Vegan menu and cakes!

One of my favourite bars in the Gay Village. It's worth the visit everytime. Don't forget the upstairs bar and balcony, and the wonderful mural on the wall outside.

An excellent pub in the heart of the village in Manchester

Cosy, good range of local beers. Nice lighting, intimate

Great setting. Great food. Decent prices. Will definitely go again.

The place is discussing the sofas broken everything looks dirty we went there for cocktails because on the website tey said they have a choice of cocktails but it turns out they don't do cocktails for ages now the only good nice thing about the place is the service

I am a regular at the Molly House. .but the staff are amazing....even if it's quiet, there's someone to have a chat with.....the wine is also very good and reasonably priced.....this place is an asset in an aging gay scene..

Molly house is a decent place to chill and have a drink. Watch out for the surly barmaid though, there is only one and everyone else is really nice. The cakes are good, as are the burgers. For tapas, I'd pick a real Spanish restaurant instead of here. Pro tip, go to the upstairs bar for a better atmosphere.

Fantastic burgers, excellent drink selection, wonderful decor, and a barman who and and will give you good recommendations is a wonderful thing.

Such a great place for tapas (Inc vegan) and a few drinks either for lunch or dinner.

very nice for a quiet drink before a big night out or just before going home :) they have a small upstairs terrace that is nice for a drink too. They do a great selection of food and have a massive vegan menu. Sadly last time I went their card machine was broken and had been for a week! Disappointed I had to walk 15mins to the ATM and back.

Always a great venue. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, and a good range of drinks.

An amazing traditional hostelery in the Canal st. area of Manchester. So much fun and a friendly atmosphere...a must visit !!

This place is kind of special. The food is lovely, the atmosphere, the drinks selection. Quiet enough to chat and that means a lot in the heart of the city late at night. Also, the second floor I discovered recently is gorgeous. Definitely a place to go and enjoy.

A couple of smallish bars and toilet facilities situated up two flights of steep stairs means this is not and accessible venue, but for the fit and able bodied there's a good selection of drinks and basic bar food .

Unbelievable decor. Great staff. Decent drink selection. Comfortable.

Had a smoking area for those that look for one.

I wouldn't say no to this place on a bad day.

Always a decent beer on, great atmosphere and decent if pricey food.

Excellent pub, with great beer, good food, lovely staff and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My local. Absolutely love this place. Very warm welcome

Great food, cosy ambient, and friendly staff. Oh, and it won't cost you more than a regular pub. I'll be sure to come back. Superb.

Hidden gem. Don't tell anybody they serve Howard's town beer

Called in for a drink with my daughter. Must go back and try the tapas.

Great bar, friendly staff. No problems with social distancing

Nice atmosphere, good choice of cask beer.... doubles for the price of singles in a range of premium spirits!

Nice cosy pub, good food, prices are average for city centre. Quite small and not many seats upstairs so you may have to stand on busier days. Downstairs has more seating/tables - more of a dining area and is brighter than upstairs but you can sit here for just drinks too. Been a few times and no complaints apart from not enough seats.

Nice people, nice staff. Not your usual Canal Street type.
