Best Nightlife in Sutton Manor

"Bundobust is many things (craft beer haunt, Indian street food hangout, veggie restaurant) but it sells itself as a ‘beer and Indian joint’. The basement bar is filled with casual, communal tables that encourage interaction with fellow punters, and has a relaxed order-at-the-bar system that keeps the crowd mingling. The food menu is all about vegetarian Indian street food."

"Decked out with kitsch Bollywood paraphernalia, join one of the long, shared dining tables in Bundobust’s basement dining room and prepare for an Indian street food feast. It’s hard to go wrong with the menu - but the Vada Pav burger was recently listed among the best in the world, and it's on the menu for just £5. 61 Piccadilly, Manchester M1 2AG / bundobust.com"

"Indian street-food specialists Bundobust have ventured across The Pennines to open this spacious Piccadilly branch. Inside, seating is canteen-style with the enticing menu of snacks and sharing plates being equally informal, and entirely vegetarian too."

"The Ivy has long-reigned as one of the most beautiful restaurants not only in Manchester but across the UK. Offering up three floors in the Manchester venue – each with a completely different experience – the restaurant is unbeatable if you’re after a lively date night, with a fantastic atmosphere flowing from floor to floor. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stunning, floral brasserie, the second – a decadent, oriental-inspired Asian restaurant, and on the rooftop – a bright, summery floral terrace also serving the varied brasserie menu."

"A garden oasis nestled in Hardman Square, book a table for up to six guests (subject to availability) for the beautiful covered and heated ground floor terrace at The Ivy Spinningfields from 12 April and watch the world go by as you savour their seasonal specials and show-stopping serves. In addition, indoor reservations for the brasserie, roof terrace and glamorous late-night restaurant and bar, Ivy Asia, will be available from 17 May."

"The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester is a multi-faceted venue, offering several floors of beautiful settings and tasty food and drinks. Apart from ground floor Ivy Brasserie and second floor Ivy Asia, the true gem is found at the very top, with the Ivy Roof Garden. Very colorful and very lush, the spacious rooftop really deserves its 'garden' epithet."

"When it comes to meat-free dining in Liverpool, this lot have reached legendary status. Although DTH will be closing its doors in January as we navigate yet another national lockdown, fear not: you can still get your fix delivered to your door. In honour of Veganuary, they’ve added an exclusive meal deal to their Deliveroo platform: any burger and chips, plus a side and drink for £16."

"One of the city’s most popular vegan and veggie restaurants, Down The Hatch specialise in vegan junk food. As a meat eater this is one of the first places we tried when going for a meat free option and we haven’t looked back since. Serving up incredible small plates (jackfruit nuggets, cauliflower wings), stacked burgers, seitan ‘wings’ and much more."

This Duke Street diner is fast becoming the go-to spot for mouthwatering, plant-based junk food."

"Found in the beautiful Georgian Quarter of Liverpool on Falkner Street, The Quarter is an Italian inspired, independent restaurant. It serves everything from breakfast to delicious cakes and everything in between. Or if you’d like to treat your date to a romantic picnic, take them shopping in the deli to pick out their favourite sandwich and sweet treat."

"Family-run deli-restaurant The Quarter offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and they even do home deliveries. So there’s really no excuse for not trying out this Italian restaurant. You’ll almost certainly be able to smell the delicious food from The Quarter before you see it as they also offer a range of fresh homemade bread and pastries to buy."

"For breakfast, brunch or lunch with a view of Liverpool’s beautiful Georgian Quarter then the Quarter is a must. Serving up full english breakfasts, pancakes, pizza, pastas and an impressive wine menu, it’s the perfect place to chill out. View this post on Instagram"

"One of the best outdoor restaurants in Manchester, The Ape & Apple is an ideal pitstop after a long day of exploring the city. With friendly locals, monthly-changing ales and a secret terrace out the back, this place ticks all of our alfresco dining boxes."

"Opulence and bling rule here, from the gold-tiled private members’ club on the top floor to the dark and decadent 60 rooms and suites, all grey walls, large comfy beds, leather bed heads and faux fur throws. The hotel aims to be “the sexiest hotel in Europe” with its five Inner Sanctum suites have leather-clad black walls, with no windows, and a huge “wonderwall” with a projection of the city skyline or a film about the hotel’s characters. The 60-cover restaurant, Honey, has a small menu with some interesting options and delicate portion sizes."

"If you’re a fan of Batman, be it the cartoons or movies, you absolutely must put this on your bucket list. Subtly themed on the superhero, with nods to the character here and there in the form of some classy memorabilia, the identity of this hotel is opulent and sophisticated. Dark colours reign, especially in the mysterious corridors, creating a moody, dramatic atmosphere."

"Dine on the terrace while enjoying Spanish tapas and incredible cocktails at La Tasca in Manchester at Deansgate. This location has an incredible cocktail hour that offers 2-4-1 drinks all day, every day!"

"Jenever on Hope Street is the perfect spot to head to try out an extensive gin collection. With over 120 gins you could be there a while but it makes for all the more reason to return.

"The Georgian Quarter gin emporium, Jenever offers over 100 varieties of gin, great cocktails, beautiful surroundings and brilliant Gin tasting sessions too with a whole board stacked with fruity pairings. Find out more and book here."

"Circular in design, it stands resolutely between the Midland Hotel (where Mr’s Rolls and Royce developed the car) and Manchester Town Hall. The galleries and exhibit halls flank the outside of the structure. Just downriver from the slightly more musically-famous Liverpool, other offspring of Manchester’s illustrious musical history include Morrissey, Joy Division and the Stone Roses."

"Thankfully, Cake Box now delivers straight to your doorstep!. All their products are free from meat and eggs. They do, however, use cream in most of their items."

"About: Patisserie Valerie in Deansgate is a haven of self-indulgence. This luxurious, continental-style patisserie and café is famed for delicious handmade cakes and pastries. Under the counter you'll discover a mouth-watering array of sugary treats such as tarts, macaroons and gateauxs."

"I wouldn’t normally have chosen this flavour, but on a hot day they only had three to choose from. Had a changing flavour – hints of coffee, cream and caramel with little bits of caramel which gave a nice texture change."
