Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Abbey Village

"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."

"A post shared by Albert’s Schloss (@albertsschloss) on Feb 22, 2020 at 12:00am PST. For crêpe lovers, Albert’s Schloss has you sorted this Tuesday. Available for one day only, tuck into their crêpes filled with house-made chocolate praline sauce and preserved blood orange slices, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream."

"Albert's Schloss is one heck of a party restaurant, overflowing with oompah bands, bier steins and all the Bohemian beauties you could possibly ask for. Whether you're heading down for their regular Sunday service or Kunst Kabaret, you're sure to have plenty of Insta-moments."

"One of the wildest restaurants in Manchester, Albert's Schloss doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. Not only can you hunker down for big meat and even bigger Bavarian beer, but also table dancing, entertainment, in-house bands and jaw-dropping antics almost every night."

"The stunning transformation of the former restaurant at the Palace Hotel (now the Principal) by DJ duo The Unabombers as The Refuge in 2016 is heaped with praise in the guide. It says: “The duo are experts at creating venues that are simultaneously hip, stylish and unpretentious in a generously northern way. The Refuge is as much a destination for a family Sunday roast as it is a late-night cool kids’ hang-out."

"The Refuge, Oxford Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 7HA - Visit now. Looking something a little more upmarket?. You need the raved-about Refuge by Volta at The Principal Manchester (formerly known as the Palace Hotel) on Oxford Road."

"There are several spaces in the restaurant that each have their own vibe. I loved this ‘greenhouse’ inside the restaurant."

"On the opposite end of the scale to The Townsman, you have Beach House Bistro and Bar. This is the choice if you’re looking to splash out and treat yourself a bit. It’s big, it’s right in the centre of all the action on the Promenade, and it’s flashy."

"Bar Eighty Eight is located on Lord Street, in Southport town centre. The modern-looking bar is very popular and is often busy as a result. They serve a variety of drinks, and there is plenty of space to socialise and have a good time with friends."

"Ok, not a club but this cultural institution and home to The Smiths Disco is a right of passage for any student living in the city and arguably the best night in Manchester. Rest assured, this club night will defo have you fretting about the fact that you haven’t got a stitch to wear. If you don’t get this reference maybe it is time to move to the next club…"

"Lupo Caffè Italiano, located at the Boat Shed, Exchange Quay, serves award-winning Italian coffee. Italian-flavours continue to run through its daily-changing menu which has previous included crostatina with nutella, stuffed peppers and pistachio, and white chocolate muffins. The cafe also makes Italian birthday cakes with custom designs."
