Bares de Manchester Review

A little hidden away bar that's great for a drink early on in the night. Food downstairs, but the bar upstairs is much nice with its stags head. As its small it gets an atmosphere with just a few people, but can be very busy later in the evening. Usually a slightly older beardy bear crowd.

Amazing venue. Full of atmosphere and has amazing staff as well

The staff is always friendly and helpful, great place to either drink or eat and they offer great and tasty vegan options & delicious coffee as well

Cosy little spot. Nice to stop off into and have a quick bite to eat and maybe a drink or two. Staff are friendly and polite.

Nice place, but easy to drunkenly get stuck in the cubical

Really nice and friendly place, with smoking area (balcony).Great food like burgers/tapas, cakes, with vegan options (good prices), friendly staff.Two bars on two floors.Perfect for hang out with friends because is not loud music there compare to other places around;).Highly recomended.

Excellent range of top shelf spirits not comfy though

Very nice to have a drink! The wooden interior gives the bar a lot of character.

A little gem with charm and personality, truly stands head and shoulders above the tacky soulless bars that mostly make up the village.

Top place and friendly staff. Great deals for a night out

Consistently excellent tapas, friendly service and good range of drinks, including non alcoholic. Definitely recommended!

Such a fantastic & stylish bar that attracts a better class of customer. Molly's has so many different types of drinks to choose from & they also serve Spanish food cooked by Spanish chiefs.Molly's fun bar staff are so welcoming & friendly,making time to get to know everyone that comes through the door. You go in the bar a stranger & leave as a friend x

Doesn't do cocktails, but does coffee and a fun, varied range of bottles.

Always a nice atmosphere in here, with a great range of drinks. The food has always been excellent if you're looking for somewhere informal to eat.

A nice cosy friendly bar in the gay centre of Manchester. A variety of tapas and good value.

Good atmosphere. Food is a bit expensive for my broke budget but tasty. Drinks can also be a bit pricey. Commonly hard to find a free spot to sit as they don't have much seating, especially on a Friday evening. The upstairs area is so dimly lit you have to really squint to see anything, which is a shame as it's decorated very nicely.

My girlfriend and I come here at least once a month; the beer selection is always fantastic, the decor and atmosphere is super homely and comfortable, and the staff are usually chatty and welcoming! It's kinda hidden away too, so there's often space to at least perch a beer on a Saturday evening. Definitely give it a shot!

Good pub with wide choice of drinks. Off the main Canal St which is good.

Good pub with friendly staff. Have a good range of spirits . Only problems are that the upstairs furniture is way past being in good condition. Both sofas are broken. Also, the temperature in summer can get unbearable when it's busy.
Some times the pricing is a bit steep also.

Lovely warm atmosphere. Great beer. Brilliant cider selection bottled. Pleasant staff. Handy outside area.

It's nice, set over a couple of floors had a great evening in here. Staff really friendly and service is fast if there isn't a huge que it can get busy.

I went here after finding it on Google maps. 1st attempt i got here late on Sunday after getting off the train to find if missed the kitchen :( the food looked amazing though and I returned later in the week and I'm glad i did.

The bar staff were friendly and happily chatted away to the loner perched at the end of the bar. Especially the lovely ale wench.

I ordered 3 dishes from the tapas menu the 1st two arrived i had almost finished them and i was thinking that they had forgotten my enchiladas then they appeared from the kitchen and by the end of them i was absolutely stuffed.

Wood, exposed brick & a good selection of real ales and craft beers gives the place the feel of a hipster bar only without the hipsters

Next time I'm in town I'll be back for sure

Friendly and cosy bar with a great selection of drinks.

Lovely little place with friendly staff. Great food!

This bar has a huge range of beers and spirits,excellent staff and a great atmosphere..highly recommended.

Grate place nice atmosphere nice people and good drinks

I visited the evening of 24-Sep-2020. The waitress was very welcoming and friendly.
I ordered the Mighty Molly Burger which was delicious. I definitely recommend this place as the food is good and staff are friendly.

Went in after the game Wednesday good atmosphere and nice feel to the place spoke with owner and bar staff good sport will go again

Brilliant little place over two floors. Excellent food and a vegan menu. Small but intimate

Love this pub. A fantastic selection of Beers and Ales. Great food too.

Nice place but can get really busy very quickly, leaving little room for manouvering your way around

Great bar, always does a good range of ales and gins and so on, and the staff are really friendly. Would recommend the beartown selection of ales. Irony in a gay bar, but ginger bear is meant to be lovely

Good only between once when I left Canal Street, always looking for my hot chocolate to drink, the taste of the drink that they gave me there very good, is Gay Friendly and very friendly.

Well i only went there once for a hot chocolate, and i loved it i was well attended and the place is cool clean, calm and gayfriendly

Expensive and not that enjoyable. That being said that is only my opinion. I' sis see other people having a great time. Please go and visit, then you can make. Your own mind up on this.

Fantastic take on tapas, casual dinning and drinking.

Love this place warm friendly atmosphere great staff.

Can be ok with a decent atmosphere, but venue sometimes gets overcrowded; which spoils things

Pleasant and quaint pub with friendly staff and a traditional, community feel. Unfortunately the kitchen wasn't open, so I didn't get a chance to sample the food. Nevertheless, there was a decent selection of lagers and craft beers.

Has a "prohibition era" theme to it, one of the few bars in central with a nice balcony area, and the selection of spirits is amazing, they've even for some rather rare to find bottles in stock.

Great staff, delicious food, and good selection of beers.

Great host and safe social distancing well worth a visit .

We kept returning to this little friendly, cosy and welcoming lgbt pub. Good food, great friends, just an all round great local that we really enjoyed. I cannot fault it for anything.

Lovely little gay-village bar away from the crowds of Canal Street itself. Decent selection of drinks and very friendly staff.

A bit expensive, but a cosy bar. The staff can be a bit hit and miss, going from great to terrible

A nice relatively quite place in the chaos that is the village !

Full marks all round for the drinks, outstanding food (especially the extensive and reasonably priced tapas menu) and attentive & friendly staff.

My only gripe, tbh, is that they're known to turn people away at the door for not fitting their dress code... and it's happened to me, once, on my birthday. I fancied a pre-Zombie Pride cocktail and was told I can't come in, despite the amount of times I've been there previously. This should be reconsidered - it's money in the til, all in all.

Amazing selection of spirits and craft beers in a super cosy environment

great real local in a brilliant relaxed fun part of the city. a must visit

Excellent beer and gin selection with cosmopolitan regulars.

A lovely welcoming feel from the minute you step in the door.
With it's two floor levels, a wide selection of drinks this is an excellent venue for a meet up with friends.


If your into your Gins then this is also a great spot, with wide selection from all over the world.

They also have a wide selection of beers they taste so great, but just in case they will allow you have a taster to see if it's for you

Staff where very welcoming and very nice. They will gladly help you find the drink for you.

Overall I had a great experience here and will be back.

I was really impressed by this pub. In the heart of the gay village, this place is open and welcoming to everybody, whether you want a lovely pint of ale, a delicious whisky, or some tapas. The bar area is beautiful, and the staff are really friendly. If I lived in Manchester, I'd make this a regular visit.

Great selection of drinks and a perfect spot to start a night on Canal Street.

Good atmosphere, bit hot and ordering takes too long

Fab little niche bar in the heart of manchesters gay village.

Their huge range of gins and more can be seen behind the bar and the place has a very bohemian fabulousness to it. Very chilled and laid back, and the food they do here to is amazing!

One thing i would love to see them do is install one of them library style ladders and see the staf sliding it along to them reach the top shelves. Would be fab

Cosy pub on a back street in Manchester's gay village. The staff are friendly, it's quiet enough to have a conversation and the food is really good. The chef (who seems to be new) was especially friendly and enthusiastic. Good selection of beers too.

My favourite bar in the Village. A laid back clientele, friendly staff, great vibe, not too loud for conversation, plus an outside area. I've never eaten there, but I'm told it's good. Highly recommended!

Best bar / pub in the village. Good selection of real ales and they accept cards.Theres a small outside balance area for then it gets too busy and stuffy inside on Sat nights

A nice homily place white a good selection selection selection of drinks

Great selection of beers, staff extremely friend and a great atmosphere

My favourite bar in Canal Street by a country mile - a real antidote to some of the sticky-floor establishments in the area. The lively atmosphere is always friendly, the interiors are just the right amount of distressed and the food is worth marking this out as a place to come eat.

Very nice place, cosy inside and friendly staff. Food was also very nice.

Always a good night here with a friendly crowd and great beer

One of the only places in the village that has anything different about it. Hope it stays that way! Love it.

Amazing vegan options, might even be the best place in town!
