10 Best Breweries in Blackley

"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."

"Popular with students, this yakitori joint imbues a rather soulless unit off Oxford Road (the main university drag) with the warmth of Japanese comfort food ..."

"The most well-known Cantonese restaurant in Manchester, the Yang Sing recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. To celebrate the Year of the Pig, they have come up with a special set banquet on Sunday 10th February (£46pp), all accompanied by a martial arts demonstration, firecrackers and a private lion dance. Their banquet dishes win the award for the most poetic names and include ‘double dish prosperity toss’ as well as ‘longevity noodles’ (more here).Yang Sing, Canton House, 34 Princess Street, Manchester, M1 4JY. Tel: 0161 236 2200"

"Cantonese cooking doesn’t come much more authentic than Yang Sing. Serving dim sum for 30 years, the chefs here know what they’re doing, so you’re in for a treat. Check out the good-value banqueting options."

"This 13th-century church about a mile north of Macclesfield is the fourth church on this site. But what’s unusual is that the third church is still here, out among Medieval yew trees. There’s a Norman Romanesque chapel in the churchyard, dating to the 12th century, with semi-circular door and window arches and weathered but visible tympanum relief and lozenge patterns in the archivolts."
