Best Nightlife in Plumley

"In February 2020 BC (before Covid) we got all excited with a visit to their about-to-open second Manchester branch on Oxford Road but it remains closed as we pine for a cold beer and a hot bhaji on a long table more than ever. We’ll have to make do with Deliveroo for now. It’s all veggie, as existing fans will know, but vegans have plenty to love from the iconic vada pav to the famous broccoli, kale and onion bhajis."

"A vegetarian and predominantly gluten-free restaurant, Bundobust is serving some of Manchester's best cheap eats. For just £6, you can munch on a bhaji butty, vada pav veggie burger and raghda pethis mushy pea cakes, with a wide choice of cocktails to top it off."

"Bundobust is a huge beer hall serving craft ales in the heart of Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens. It also happened to win Restaurant of the Year at the 2017 Manchester Food and Drink Festival awards, thanks to its stellar menu of Indian small plates."

"Another special spot in Spinningfields suitable for both celebrations or just a boujee Tuesday – The Ivy’s roof terrace is stunningly decorated, with plus velvet furniture, fire pits for warmth and grand trees throughout setting a botanical theme for its brasserie offering. Most of the space is for diners, however, there’s a lovely bar within the terrace, too, where you can perch up for a drink or two. The Ivy, The Pavilion, Byrom St, M3 3HG."

"🍰 There’s a range of luxury desserts to choose from at the Brasserie, including tiramisu, creme brulee and rum baba, but the star of the show is undeniably the chocolate bombe – a melting chocolate dessert with ice cream, a honeycomb centre, and hot salted caramel sauce. I’m drooling just at the thought."

"The Ivy Spinningfields is ago-to quirky restaurant if you're after a night of sophisticated dining in a luxurious setting. With its patterned interiors, emerald green bar and picture perfect rooftop terrace, the venue serves a brasserie-style menu with handcrafted cocktails to match."

"Originally created by chef Dominique Ansel in New York, the croissant-doughnut hybrid (cronut) caught everyone’s imaginations and spawned a succession of homages. The Alberts Schloss take on the sweet pastry is an utter delight, freshly baked in-house with a range of tempting flavours including chocolate gateaux and salted caramel with popcorn. This week, to tie-in with royal wedding fever, try the Eton mess: a golden sugar kronut with strawberry jam, vanilla cream, glazed strawberries, meringue kisses and fresh mint."

"The Alpine menu will be offering savoury crepes for one day only, with two different fillings to choose from. You can either go for the black forest ham and cheese, or a sweet potato and spinach filling, both drenched in a rich cheese sauce. There is also a sweet option available - filled with chocolate praline and preserved blood orange slices."

"Those dreams of sharing a Roast Platter once more are just weeks away”. The Refuge is known throughout the city for its slap-up Sunday roasts, with the highlight undoubtedly being the ‘Roast Platter’, which lets you combine a choice of meats on offer with a rich range of sides and accompaniments to top it all off. A vegetarian / vegan roast option is also available, alongside extensive drinks and dessert menus."

"An eclectic range of small and large plates designed for sharing.Why go?. Manchester DJ duo Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford, aka Unabomber, have travelled the world playing music and have brought back inspired flavours to create menus that are imaginative and delicious. What's more, the setting is glorious, one of the most stunning interiors in the city."

"Now open two years, the Unabombers-curated Refuge in The Principal Hotel is one of the coolest go-to dining and drinking spots in the city. With a beautifully refurbished interior, tapas-style menu and a Sunday roast banquet to revere, The Refuge goes from strength to strength with regular events and constantly changing dishes."

"What: One of the first ports of call for young Mancunians when the sun shines, lively Dukes 92 is often packed to the rafters on a blistering summer’s day. The expansive canal-side terrace is where to soak up some rays, enjoying cocktails or plates from Duke’s globe-trotting menu. Options include steaks served alongside skinny fries and peppercorn sauce or a lamb and halloumi salad, while ending with the chocolate volcano (pudding with a gooey fondant center) is a must."

"Dukes 92 gets pretty busy on match days – but it’s because there’s tons of big screens and a great atmosphere to enjoy where there’s game on. Inside, guests can expect a stylish bar with plenty of seating, as well as plenty of screens to catch every moment of the match. Booking is advised if you want to secure a spot!"

"Home to industrial interiors, foamy brews and meaty dishes, The Crafty Pig is coming up trumps in the foodie department. Make your way through their roster of impressive craft beers."

"An offering of Cypriot dishes including hot and cold mezze dishes, burgers and wraps and mediterranean flatbreads. All their meat dishes (including chicken, beef sujuk and lamb) are listed as halal. Veggie options include haloumi and falafel."

"With its famous cherry tree in permanent, soft pink bloom in the main dining room, Tattu makes a picture-perfect backdrop for a romantic meal for two. Its menu is also perfect for sharing, with a selection of dim sum and small plates including waygu dumplings with kimchi and spring onion, chicken truffle shumai, and chilli and sesame roasted scallops. Its cocktails are spectacular too - try the Samurai's Garden, a smoking carafe of gin, rose and tonic for two to share (£40)."

"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."

"Sometimes you just walk into a restaurant and your heart does funny things. Tattu is possibly the most beautiful place to eat in the north, a quite incredible …"
