The First Floor Bar- Cane and Grain Reviews

Incredible food and drinks, one of the very best I've ever been too, the hidden tiki bar is amazing if you are lucky enough to be shown how to find it ;)

Highly recommend the chicken wings. Great beer selection and cocktails.

Great alcohol selection and amazing live music, will definitely be returning

I went for the lunch menu and I didn't enjoy that. The portions are definitely big but I really didn't like the quality of the food. I ordered a vegetarian burger. I am very into tasting good vegetarian burger and this one was not great. Way to spicy and dry, difficult to appreciate.

Good burger and good service. What more do you want.

Good selection of beers, ciders, spirits etc. Plenty of space on the ground floor and entrances on both sides of the building, does get very busy on evenings. 3rd floor tiki bar is a lot of fun with exotic cocktails and bigger ones for sharing, some that come on fire. 2nd floor bar is the swankiest with really good cocktail selection, seating and more of relaxed atmosphere. They also serve food here which is really nice, lots of smaller bites and some burgers etc. Get stuck in!

Great food, excellent vibe :) and open for lunch, can't beat that.

Great place to go for a drink. Often busy in evenings.

Good beer selection and nice atmosphere. Could do with some heaters above the tables outside though for the chilli winter months.

Would recommend Really reasonably priced nice food good size portions.

Was OK.nice service liked the look of it not keen on the unisex toilets

Think Wild West America meets downtown New York in Manchester and you are pretty close to the feel of Cane and Grain. Well stocked bar serving decent beer and liquor with a touch of hipster. Oh and their food is great too. Definitely worth a visit.

The lunch menu ribs were really nice and the price is spot on, definitely recommend.

Nice noisy pub. Several beers on tab. Nice selection of ribs. It is fun here. They have a Hawaiian style bar upstairs...

A little "studenty" but the beer is great and the welcome appreciated.

Poor quality expensive food, inexplicably rude doorman. When using the app it charged use twice for everything and it hasn't refunded, will be in touch.

Cane and never again... came here as 50% off but wouldn t even pay 10% of the price. Incredibly dry ribs which were supposed to be glazed. Dry as Ghandi s flip flop. When I said this to staff they hardly addressed it and just brought us the full price bill

Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere. The food is amazing. The perfect food whilst having a few drinks.

Really friendly bar staff, gave us loads of local information and tips. Place looks very cool and is extremely well run.

I was here with my friend Ryan Davies when suddenly his arse gave in. What followed i can only describe as waterboarding. Guantanamo would be proud. Anyways the drinks are good, it's a nice place. Recommended!

A really nice bar, good atmosphere. The Cane & Grain beer is lovely, well worth a visit if you are in Manchester.

A good bar with a nice interior design, good range of drinks and plenty of seating. The barman had amazing cocktail making skills, spinning the glass, it was outrageous. There's a cool atmosphere there too, so enjoy yourself. It's well located too, close to Piccadilly Gardens station and the trendy Northern Quarter.

Delicious great quality food and great portions. We were spoiled for choice in terms of the menu!

Top drinks selection, tasty food and dog friendly. Mint

Delicious booze & a buzzing atmosphere. If you're looking for a quiet Saturday night this isn't the place for you.

Well what can I say... great experience well thought out themed levels, 1st floor 'pub' style for pre drinks, through the 'secret' door to the restaurant, Victorian apothecary themed including fab mixology menu for cocktails. Food was amazing and staff were fab. Then on up to the tiki cocktail bar, look out for the ""zombie"" wow!

Went for a lovely meal here with friends on the first floor bar, it is so nice and the food is amazing! 100% recommend

Very nice ales, and the greatest spare ribs i have ever seen and eten

Quick to serve drinks which is good but not a major fan of the music but thats down to taste I guess!

Great ribs. Wonderful BBQ that wouldn't be out of place back home in the US. Ordered all the sauces, was very happy.

Food is fantastic. Big portions and great value. Couldn't ask for more. Mac an cheese is to die for.

I can t rate the food because I didn t get a chance to eat it but the service was terrible. We had a reservation for two. When we arrived we were seated on extremely small table and ordered some drinks. Then we waited for about half an hour to order food but eventually had to call a waitress over, who then mentioned that food wait is an hour (which she should have done way earlier), so we just decided to leave. Overall, badly organised restaurant with poor service. I understand it was busy, but this was not acceptable.

Great place for food and drinks, love that most drinks served in a chilled glass.

We went in for lunch and I was amazed at the spam fries and the overall quality. Beer's and food, will be going again with out a doubt.

Love it here. Anytime of day or night. Would highly recommended

Good place to go for dude food during the day. Good choice on the day menu.
Excellent beer selection

Only had drinks but it was a nice and relaxed place with good seating and balanced selection of drinks.

Great value with offer, good service, ribs were dry

Excellent, unusual pub serving good beers with themed rooms on each floor

Great cocktails and service from the greatest Veronika! :-)

Coolest place ever! Check out the live music if you can. What a surprise!!

Had the best time at this Bar!
The zombie cocktail is a must try!

Decent drinks choices and reasonable prices. Nice place inside too.

Another generic hipster/American bar, staff do not particularly appear interested in creating a vibe. We were in a group of 15 so we had fun, but it would help that staff try not to burn customers went setting cocktails on fire.

it was very busy, so went upstairs to the Rum, cocktail bar was a great atmosphere but much more relaxed, and not as busy

My boyfriends favourite place and I don't mind it one bit. Get a zombie you won't regret it.

In the bar, which is on the second floor, there is live music with local musicians. Very cool.

My favourite place in Manchester. Love the place and love a good pint of zombie cocktail. Staff are great too! But prefer upstairs more than downstairs.

I also want playboy mags all over my ceiling like in the men's toilet but I'm not allowed :(

Type of place that does what it says well. Nice decor with a good atmosphere. The ribs are particularly nice and I think I'd be tempted to order the same on my next visit.

My favourite pub in Manchester, out of a doubt. A buzzing and chilling environment with good beers and cocktails and great music.

Unfortunately, in the past year or so, the food kinda' went downhill - possibly due to a change in chefs or menu. The ribs I usually get are now a bit flavourless and a lot fattier. We've been twice now just to check, and the food just isn't as good as it used to be. Everything is just a bit dry and flavourless, or overcooked. Shame!

Great little hipster bar in the NQ. Beers get expensive (or it would be 5 stars!)

Forever one of my favourites. Very good social distancing measures in place. Friendly staff and great choice of drinks and food for everyone. Thanks all, back soon!

Part of the Tiki franchise Cane and Grain keep it simple - If you like Rum cocktails and juicy Ribs then this place is where you want to be as they do both very well. I went for the beef ribs with a bourbon sauce which nearly finished me, they were huge and covered in sticky sweet sauce washed down with a well crafted Dark and Stormy. The only other thing on the menu were chicken wings - which they had run out of when we were there but would not have been able to stand up to the ribs in any case.

Great atmosphere for a small place. Drinks selection was amazing. Always pop in for a quick drink when in the area.

Great decor. Craft beer and the food smelled nice :)

Nice mojitos. Part of the Northern quarter Road map. Urban free wheelers a plenty.

Really bad experience. Pre ordered food for group of 15. Arrived at 830 as planned. Food served at 1020pm. Most people left without food. Even with discount offered as an apology I probably still won't risk booking again.
