Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Barber Booth

"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."

"You can eat for well under a tenner at Indian kitchen Bundobust. Located in the Northern Quarter, the restaurant is a veggie haven of spicy cooking; we recommend the masala dosa, a warming combination of soup and mini pancakes."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Housed inside the beautifully grand Principle hotel on Oxford Road, the Refuge is one of Manchester’s most stylish hangouts. The clientele ranges from touring rock stars to local fashion bloggers, all sipping on delicious cocktails and relaxing among the beautiful décor. If you want to really nail that Instagram shot, take a seat in the winter garden and ask your companion to photograph you beside one of the fairy-light lit trees."

"Oxford Road’s hotel-turned-bar and restaurant The Refuge might not be top of your list when looking for no-money fun in Manchester, but head to its secluded and spacious back room and you’ll find pool tables and table football – both of which can be enjoyed for free. All you need to provide is a contender and a will to win."

"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."

"These guys are big players in the city’s food and drink scene as they’ve got everything you need for a guaranteed great time – Neopolitan style pizzas, craft beer, cocktails, music, a games room, a mini cinema and an outdoor terrace. Oh, and a gig room too, the list is never-ending!. This Sheffield institution ticks all the boxes and a must for our guide to the best beer gardens in Sheffield."

"Whether you're heading down for brunch, lunch or dinner, this Abbeydale Road bar is one of the quirkiest restaurants in Sheffield. Tuck into plates of freshly-made Neapolitan-style pizza, washed down with house cocktails and worked off with a few rounds of table tennis."

"Finding its way just inside the Top 10 is the wonderfully named West Bars Tandoori in Gibraltar Street. Rated four stars out of five, its main features include delivery, takeout, reservations, seating, serves alcohol, full bar and table service. One of its latest reviews reads: "Whenever we are in Chesterfield we always go to this restaurant. The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly, attentive and efficient. Looking forward to our next visit."

"The interior is quirky and unique, with charming, homelike furniture, fairy lights and a wide, antique-looking bar serving an astonishing variety of wines, beers and cocktails. The menu serves upscale twists on traditional pub food classics, such as their Barnsley chop with rosemary and mint butter, crushed new potatoes and green beans, or the slow-braised beef skirt served with pomme purée, chard and caramelised baby onions. All dishes are expertly plated and presented, making a meal at the Wick At Both Ends a special dining experience without the usual price tag."

"Any list of the best bars in Sheffield would be incomplete without The Wick at Both Ends. In particular, you should pick this venue if you’re looking for an exciting yet laid-back evening. It’s the place to go for good music, a relaxed atmosphere, and refreshing drinks served by friendly faces."

"Offering a less than traditional format for the classic meal, The Wick At Both Ends is fronting possibly the quirkiest Sunday roast in Sheffield. Sure, they've got your carrots, your stuffing and your roast chicken, but they'll be serving it up as a pizza."

"Soup Kitchen, 31-33 Spear Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Manchester, M1 1DF - Visit now. Though the bar has been around for a while, and during the day Soup Kitchen is a decent place to go to for a Northern Quarter, communal-style lunch, the recent redevelopment of Soup Kitchen’s basement space has monopolised the city’s truly great music and club gigs of late. As a room, it’s a little bit dingy, but it more than comes to life when there are 150 people stuffed inside, all clamouring for a view of the latest hype band – though venue owners please note: the grim, unisex toilets go a fair way in dulling any musical enjoyment."

"Over the past 125+ years, the Whitworth has seen many transformations but none so much as its recent £15 million development, resulting in accolades such as RIBA National Award and Art Fund’s Museum of the Year 2015. Now home to an internationally important collection numbering 60,000 works - blending high-profile names like Blake, Spencer, Rembrandt and Moore with fresh new talent - the gallery’s principal aim remains the same: ‘the perpetual gratification of the people of Manchester’."

"Manchester's second most important art gallery is arguably its most beautiful, following a restoration that saw the doubling of its exhibition space through the opening of its sides and back, and the construction of glass-screened promenades. Inside is a fine collection of British watercolours, the best selection of historic textiles outside London and galleries devoted to the work of artists from Dürer and Rembrandt to Lucian Freud and David Hockney."

"You are yards from the Peak District, so there’s walking galore out here, but if you are after a shorter trek then the 19th-century folly at the top of Grin Hill affords a spectacular view of town and country."
