Lotus Bar and Dim Sum

January 12, 2007Filled under: Bar Reviews - L - manchesterbars 12:52 am

Lotus Bar & Dim Sum - 35a King Street, Manchester, M2 6AA map

Bringing a welcome change to the typical eateries and drinkeries in manchester, Lotus Bar offers a great range of both drink and food. This stylish offering from The Yang Sing, is nestled between the designer stores on King Street and as a result is popular during the day. With outside seating, behind the wonderful St Ann’s Church it also makes a great place to rest those tired feet in the summer. There’s a great choice of dim sum available for you to enjoy whilst sipping one of the many cocktails, spirits or champagnes and, as you’d expect from the Yang Sing, it’s very tasty.

The River Bar, Lowry Hotel

January 10, 2007Filled under: Bar Reviews - L, Bar Reviews - R - manchesterbars 8:08 pm

The River Bar- The Lowry Hotel, 50 Dearmans Place, Chapel Warf , Salford, M3 5LH map

Situated in Rocco Forte’s exclusive Lowry Hotel, the River Bar along with the very long terrace offer excellent views over the river irwell. Being a 5 star hotel bar you can expect excellent service, a great range of drinks and some super cocktails. one of the only places in Manchester (or Salford to be precise, as its on the opposite side of the Irwell), to still offer a full traditional afternoon tea (with champagne of course). The River Bar and Terrace also offer a lite lunch menu, however if you would prefer something a little more substantial then the traditional British and Fusion specialities of the River Restaurant are ideal. There is entertainment and live music most evenings and on occasional sunday afternoons.

La Tasca

La Tasca - 76 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2FW map

Another manchester first, la tasca is now a chain of tapas bars that you will find all accross the country. it all started here though and the opening of la tasca brought a new drinking and dining experience to mancunians in the 90s. the spanish themed menu offers good food at a reasonable price, added to that the latino beats spun by the weekend DJ in the basement club and the great spirit and cocktail offers and la tasca becomes a great all round party venue. As well as restaurants over the UK, La Tasca have also started two new concepts, just a few doors down on Deansgate - La Vina (an upmarket Spanish tapas bar) and Pesto (an Italian tapas bar).

Legends

January 4, 2007Filled under: Bar Reviews - L - manchesterbars 12:19 pm

Legends Legends - Legends, 4-6 Whitworth Street, Manchester, M1 3QW map

With names like ‘Dorothy’s Bar’, the ‘Mineshaft’ and the ‘Tunnel Bar’ it is clear to see why Legends is a male gay bar. These unusual names are given to parts of the extensive nightclub, which is quite literally a maze of great sized rooms. Legends is currently home to some of manchesters hottest gay club nights such as ‘homoelectric’ and ‘bollox’. Open every Saturday and some Fridays and Sundays, legends is definitely worthwhile a visit if you fancy a stroll out of the village.

Lammars

December 18, 2006Filled under: Bar Reviews - L - manchesterbars 4:15 am

Lammars Lammars - Fourways House, Hilton Street, Manchester, M1 2EF map

Nestled in the back streets between the Northern Quarter and Piccadilly Station, Lammars is a deceptively large lounge bar and restaurant, well worth visiting. Boasting lush decor that some might see as being a little camp, that should come as no surprise really as Lammars is named after Manchester’s favourite drag queen, Frank Foo Foo Lammar, who tragically lost his battle against cancer in 2003. (Frank’s own Foo Foo’s Palace was also located at the end of the road opposite). The bar offers a reasonable range of draught and bottle beers and spirits, whilst there are a few good wines available and cocktails too. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and it really is the ideal place to eat and drink.
