10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Rivington

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"This small shop on buzzy Tib Street is jam-packed with bottles, cans and kegs of beers from Manchester, as well as from the UK and across the globe. Brews from the inner city include neon-packaged Runaway Brewery (smoked porter, summer saison, American brown ale), Track Brewing Co. (visit its weekly brew tap events under the arches of Picadilly), and Cloudwater, which has gained a global reputation for itself over the past few of years. The friendly staff sure know their porters from their DIPAs, so make sure you pick their brains."

"Based in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Beermoth is a unique brewery compared to the others on this list as this one has two shops. One in the Northern Quarter and the other in Manchester city centre. The shop in the city centre is a belgian-style beer cafe which offers beer, food, coffee in a relaxing environment."

"Tattu is a family run business that offers contemporary Chinese cuisine in remarkable surroundings. The goal was to build a customer experience that stimulates all senses, fusing beautiful and meaningful design with quality and innovative Chinese cooking - and they’ve certainly achieved it. The food is as ‘grammable as the venue itself."

"Tattu delivers modern Chinese cuisine in a fabulously decorated venue. Cherry blossom trees fill the restaurant whilst traditional Chinese decor accentuate the walls. Small sharing plates as well as banquet-style set menus are available celebrating contemporary Chinese flavours."

"Once we saw pictures from Tattu while researching places to eat in Manchester, we both knew we had to eat there. And boy am I glad we did. We had such an incredible dining experience at Tattu."

"11/05/2021: incredibly BAD food, anyone who has ever had a chinese meal before is in for a shock. Nothing resembles its name. Chicken in OK sauce, in a watery brown gravy type liquid."

"Not only does Trof serve up a lovely menu full of hearty faves such as giant chicken burgers, fish and chips and even a stunning Sunday Roast, but they also do it at a reasonable price. Offering up 50% off food once every week (previously Mondays, currently Thursdays so make sure you check beforehand!), those eating out on a budget can enjoy some seriously cheap grub at one of Manchester’s best city centre hotspots. If you miss it, not to worry, because a huge majority of their menu comes in at less than a tenner per dish anyway."

"Trof Northern Quarter, 8 Thomas St, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1EU - Visit now. One of the original Northern Quarter bars and diners, Trof has remained popular over the years for good reason. No matter the time of day, you’ll find a reliably friendly atmosphere, along with high-quality food served til late, covering everything from snacks to hefty feasts."

"A Manchester staple when it comes to brunch, Trof is serving up all the classics until 4pm. Perfect for when you need a little TLC, this quirky restaurant bar will cheer you up with avo toast, vegan breakfasts and roasted peaches, and make sure to wash it all down with an espresso martini."

"One of the most opulent venues in town, Grand Pacific offers a contemporary take on global food – with influences taken from all over Asia when forming their menu. We’re talking everything from Korean hot plates to an Asian fusion burger, as well as kimchi topped steak and lamb massaman curry. If that wasn’t all, the restaurant serves up an extra special High Tea, with delectable treats such as Arancini, lobster buttered crumpets, tuna tartare, Eccles cake and more, and a sweeter option which is complete with lemon tarts, chocolate truffles, scones and macarons."

"Another sexy restaurant from Living Ventures, Grand Pacific is the King Street powerhouse that boasts high-ceilings, decadent dishes and quirky cocktails. Hang out at the bar, dine in the 100-strong restaurant or go all out with your own private room."

"Stylish Cocktail Bar & Asia Infused Restaurant on the edge of Spinningfields, nice high end pre drink spot. Address: 50 Spring Gardens, Manchester M2 1EN. Opening times: 11am-3am"
