The First Floor Bar- Cane and Grain Review

Great with the street closed. The host was very energetic!

Comev with friends only/ not a solo drinking place..mostly couples and groups. Easy and chilled out-skaterboy american themed

Excellent atmosphere, quirky decor, exactly what you'd hope for from a Manc indie establishment

The food was to die for. Order chicken burger, short rib, fries and some grilled peppers. Great selection of beers too!

Great bar , good atmosphere and the food is awesome.

Ok bar, looks small but more bars on different floors. Big group of friends got seats together. Will call again on next visit to Manchester.

Great atmosphere, good beers, lively at night, and full of character

The place in general is amazing and has a great atmosphere but the bar tender rolled there eyes at us , and was very impatient, it made me feel uncomfortable

Amazing ribs. Both the beef and pork were excellent. Quite small though and the restaurant has a tendency to fill up quickly, so build this into your plans if you're thinking of making a visit.

Great! Check out the lunch deal mid week and the January discount they have for 50% off!

50% off deals in January, the burgers were decently sized but the ribs were huge, if you got the full sized rack

A bar selling alcohol, nothing special, neither bad nor exceptional.

Fabulous place: very helpful staff and will definitely go again

I went to this place when it was formerly Thomas St restaurant - I mention this only because Cane & Graine have transformed the space. Although it is fairly dark and busy (similar decor to Hula bar around the corner - you will also notice the distinct smell of Zombies!), it is a comfortable space. Basically, very different to former white airy space.

We sat on the top floor in a big group for a friends birthday - the food was nice, I had the crispy beef salad, which was amazing (radish, bean sprouts, corriander), my only criticism was that there wasn't more of it. I did also sample some of my friends food and the ribs were beautifully tender!

Its what you expect for a NQ restaurant, fairly chilled out. But, its nice they've gone for a slightly different theme with the ribs.

Worth a visit.

An okay bar in the Northern Quarter. Clearly would like to be a night club so they whack the music volume up so that you have to shout at your friends. No dance floor so having a boogie isn't really an option making the music volume level unnecessary.

Booze selection and prices are fairly typical of the area.

Amazing food! Literally the best I've tasted for "American food" in a while. The place looks run down and shabby but the food is too good to care about that.

Nice place for craft beers, can be busy so plan ahead!

Excellent fodder. Spam chips in a Spam tin? Who could ask for more? Good selection of beers too.

Good atmosphere, discover the bar that is hidden on the first floor :)
