10 Best Breweries in Clough Bottom Reservoir

"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."

"A relative new-comer to the Manchester scene, Foodwell is a restaurant-cum-wellness-centre with amazing vegan and vegetarian food options amidst a few unfortunate meat and fish ones. Dubbing themselves a “California-inspired Mindful Restaurant, Thoughtful Bar, Health Deli, Wellness Studio, Creative Events Space and beautiful place to work, meet and relax”, the restaurant serves a mix of health-minded fares (Lemon Courgette Scallops, Indian Mushroom Balti Burger, Aubergine Fillet, vegan English Breakfast (pictured), Cauliflower Shawarma), with a great juice bar and good coffee. There’s also a great terrace weather permitting, but beware that there’s a lot of construction nearby at the time of writing this."

"Bringing a taste of LA to Manchester, FoodWell revolves around a holistic ethos and maintains a firm focus on healthy eating. If this is your kind if thing, you'll revel at the idea of tucking into the fresh sushi, mindful bowls and plant-based brunch options that make up the menu."

"Your place for a guilt-free healthy breakfast is at FoodWell in Manchester. Inspired by the Los Angeles wellness culture, this restaurant is serving up delicious meals with health in mind. They have a separate menu for anyone that wants to enjoy a plant-based meal."

"Brunch at Mary & Archie is available from Monday to Sunday until 4pm. You will find all the best classics in this homely, independent establishment. We recommend The Veggie Breakfast."

"30/05/2021: I’m having difficulties deciding what was worse the food or the service I went to Regal cafe at 12.30pm hoping to get the breakfast which finishes at 1pm , my kids and I stood around for 10/15min being totally ignored before being seated, there wasn’t a queue, waiters just walked past and ignored me when I asked for a table. Finally when we were seated I tried placing my order straight away, I asked 4 different waiters who walked past that I’m ready to place my order each waiter said either 5min or 2 min, after 20min of being seated I asked the 5 time only to be told it’s 1.10pm and no longer taking breakfast orders !!!!!!!. Breakfast order finish at 1pmWe ordered lunch, samosa chart was not a samosa chart, it was cold samosa with last nights chickpea curry thrown on top, the masala fish stunk of mold, burgers were eatable !!!"

"If you're looking to boast a beautiful dinner spread, Elenecot is your spot. The charming restaurant just off Cutting Room Square brings seasonal small plates to the forefront, with unique cocktails on the menu to complement, along with quintessentially Manchester industrial decor."

"Making a trade in delicious British plates, this Ancoats restaurant offers a stunning brunch spread of classics such as eggs and breakfast sandwiches, alongside more eccentric offerings like smashed broccoli and ox cheek benedict. And yes, they do have the option to go bottomless."

"Though it's not technically a vegan restaurant, Elnecot happens to be serving up some of the finest plant-based small plates in Manchester."
