10 Best Breweries in Ulnes Walton

"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."

"From the team behind Brewski comes Manchester's first Chicago deep-dish pizza restarurant. Pizza dough here is made with garlic butter and parmesan, then stuffed to the brim with oozy mozzarella, marinara sauce and all sorts of meaty toppings. They've been open for takeaway for a few months but will officially open the doors to their Mosley Street restaurant on May 19."

"Doing lots of little things right” is a definition of perfection. And Oystercatcher – a simple seafood restaurant in Chorlton – is just that. The kitchen’s Inca grill is masterfully handled by co-owner Recep Canliisik, who churns out dishes such as char-grilled whole sea bream, and Tandoori-barbecued monkfish tail."

"This cute little neighbourhood restaurant in Chorlton specialises in super-fresh seafood and are known for grilling whole fish in their charcoal oven. The wine list is also excellent. Menus change weekly depending on what is fresh and seasonal but you can view samples on their website to get an idea."

"The Savoy Hotel Blackpool is ideally located right on the seafront of Blackpool’s North Shore. This recently refurbished hotel is an excellent choice for guests who are keen to spend time relaxing on Blackpool Beach or visiting some of the resort’s must-see tourist attractions. Within an easy five minutes’ drive, visitors can reach the town’s most iconic attraction, Blackpool Tower, or drive five minutes more to visit the bustling South Shore and experience the many thrill rides available at Blackpool Pleasure Beach."

"Situated in the north shore area of Blackpool and within easy reach of Blackpool's many attractions. Having just completed a multi-million pound refurbishment, all 145 stylishly decorated bedrooms include Telephone, TV, Hairdryer and Tea & Coffee making facilities. Many of the rooms offer Sea Views and Spa Baths."

"From tallest to smallest with a modest outpost on Oxford Road. Big Hands is an important part of the roof terrace ecosystem providing a rough and ready alternative to all that shiny metal and glass. Perhaps more known for providing the backdrop to messy, ill-remembered afterparties with whichever indie band has recently rolled into town, if you want to get drunk in the sun, with a spot of up-cycled wood and plastic sheeting for when it buckets down, there are worse places to be."

"Big Hands, 296 Oxford Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M13 9NS. You’ll probably spot Big Hands’ roof terrace a few minutes before arrival, with a huge advertising billboard on its back wall, and tall leafy plants camouflaging the seating area. This is shabby chic at its finest – white plastic seating with eclectic plant pots at every step."

"You won't have far-reaching views from Big Hands, nor will you have any award-winning interior design, but you will find bags of charm and character. You can go around the world in lagers and pilsners and sit up on the rooftop on this Oxford Road original. It's always a favourite for a pre- or post-gig pint, if you remember those."

"Manchester’s music scene is legendary and the city is filled with a whole host of venues where the best bands of all genres can be discovered. While it is hard to say which is the best venue, Band on The Wall is certainly the most experienced, named ‘Manchester’s oldest music venue dating back to 1862’. Band On The Wall is a not-for-profit venue focused on showcasing the best talent around and playing a part in the local community."

"One of Manchester’s most iconic live music venues, Band on the Wall gets a resounding thumbs up from reviewers. People love the eclectic mix of music styles and quiz nights at the Northern Quarter venue, and praised the “intimate venue” “great staff” and “stylish and well-furnished bar”. Band on the Wall, 25 Swan Street, Manchester"

"Band on the Wall, 25 Swan Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 5JZ - Visit now. It was the place with the funny name hanging on up there in the city’s Northern badlands. Edgy, hard, grotty, a bit studenty."

"Serving up quality Antipodean-style coffee from two locations in the heart of Manchester city centre, the ever-popular and much-loved Federal Cafe & Bar is still open for walk-ins to grab yourself a wide range of takeaway beverages this weekend. 9 Nicholas Croft, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M4 1EY&94 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 3ND. You can find more information via the Federal Cafe & Bar website here."

"Making a name for themselves on the local culinary scene, Federal has become a brunch favourite for tourists and locals. If their photos featuring delicious meals won't bring you in, the nearly 5-star rating across the board should. Open daily and serving all-day brunch, this is the place to visit if you get that breakfast craving."

"You will have seen the snaking queues on a Saturday in the Northern Quarter, and now also at their second home on Deansgate. Those queues are for good reason. Federal serve up tasty Instagrammable brunch dishes, alongside Ozone coffee."
