    Good value for Money, the burger and angry fries were nice. The man that brought the food over was also very friendly.

    Great bar for viewing live sports. Decent selection of beers, reasonably priced. Would visit again next time I'm on Oxford Street

    Such a nice atmosphere with student friendly prices. Was served by the lovely Georgia who took the time to share all the best spots in Manchester as unfamiliar to the area!! Thank you to her and the rest of the team. Will come again

    🔥BEST STUDENT BAR IN MANCHESTER🔥 as a student like myself who doesn’t like clubbing, this is a perfect environment for those like myself, as it is a very welcoming atmosphere, kind bar staff and beautiful place. Furthermore, the events that is hosted at the footage is great to meet new people, getting involved and having fun with your mates. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! (Ps look out for karaoke Tuesday and quiz Wednesday!!!)

    Beautiful pub.. I didn't try food, but it looks delicious 😋. You can play pool, watch sports, eat, drink... always modest music

    Dessert came about 15 minutes before my main, which was weird. But I still enjoyed both

    Fabulous experience, Sam was looking after us all afternoon, super fast service and she was so friendly and chatty! After she left the GM Gabby looked after us for the duration and he was nothing short of fabulous, including Rufus his cutie dog! The food for a bottomless menu was vast with burgers and pizzas which was a nice if you didn’t want poached eggs etc. Karen the chef was 🫶 10/10 !!!

    Frequently visit for lunch when I'm in the area. Great no-nonsense food (can't beat the burger and drink) and really friendly service makes it an obvious choice for a frictionless working lunch! Hasn't lost that genuine feel it had back in the late 90s/early 2000s when I was first at the university - and that's not a bad thing!

    Absolutely fantastic bottomless brunch for a measley £25. Gabby was fantastic and kept us well watered! The breakfast was good, and the other menu options looked extremely tasty! Thank you!!

  • 5/5 Charlee F. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for a boozy brunch, really casual but great atmosphere. Our server Rafe was so attentive! Never had to wait for a drink, all the other staff were always nice too, would recommend, great value for money!

    Came for a bottomless brunch. The service was impeccable. Gabby was our server. We didn’t have to wait at any point. Love the venue also. Great sports bar. Great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Jack K. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't visited the venue yet but i need to say the bouncer tonight was amazing. I have sounds sensitivity and he warned me that a live band (which he said was very good) would be playing. he could of very easily let me in to buy a drink without letting me know the venue wasn't suited for me that night but he didnt and it showed how much the staff care about the needs of their patrons. The place looks lovely and i look forward to visiting it on a quieter night knowing the staff truely care about the people that visit. Im sorry i didnt get his name (he had long hair) but i thank him so much! also the venue looks very pretty so 100% reccomend

    Came here for a bottomless brunch for a friends bday. Service was amazing, super fast & super friendly! All of the staff were really accommodating & the food came out promptly as soon as we asked, & the vegetarian burger was really good. Great place ! Would recommend!

  • 5/5 sam h. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious. Considering the nuzzling atmosphere Rafe was on top of our orders and the drinks were flowing. The drinks were lovely and they were flowing. Would 10/10 recommend.

  • 5/5 Samm 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing service from Rafe, friendly and quick service couldn’t ask for more! The food was filling and tasty! I personally recommend the Big Breakfast. The atmosphere is very lively and music was fun and youthful! They also have fun activities such as pool, which I found very enjoyable. Overall a great place to have food and drink! Especially recommend bottomless brunch to get your moneys worth!!

  • 5/5 matthew j. 9 months ago on Google
    We booked the bottomless brunch here at Footage and could not be happier with the service and quality of the drinks and food. Rafe who served our table made sure we always had a drink in hand, the food was amazing however, for me and my partner the service made our bottomless brunch experience… Thanks to Rafe , we definitely didn’t walk out of The Footage sober !!

  • 5/5 Nick P. 9 months ago on Google
    Rafe was the best bartender even though he was doing a shift on his own he was on top of everything the whole time. Took care of us the whole time making sure our drinks were topped up! 10/10 would come for bottomless brunch again :)

  • 4/5 Benjamin C. 8 months ago on Google
    Came here for a few drinks after a meal somewhere close by. Only 2 members of staff working so getting a drink at the bar was difficult but then we realised we could order through the app which is cool. A decent variety of drinks. The staff were really nice as they offered us some complimentary drinks when they missed our order. Will deffo come back again n try the food next time.

  • 5/5 Lucy B. 7 months ago on Google
    The taller girl who looked like her dad who serviced us was an absolute asset to the company, her expertise made us feel especially spoilt. If you want kind, gentle, hospitality then here's your place! Free flowing cocktails, amazing service and delicious food. Sexy too;) highly impressed 👌

  • 4/5 LID G. 7 months ago on Google
    Set in an old cinema, there is bags of character here. Loads of seating from sit down tables to long tables to cosy chairs, large tvs and a very big projector. Bright and colourful, loads of drinks and good food menu. Service was fast .

  • 4/5 Ann W. 5 months ago on Google
    Fair play to the staff they changed the big screen over to the rugby world cup third place match when we asked which I really appreciated. The beer selection is ok but a little pricey and when the sport is on it's difficult to hear the commentary (this is a sports pub - hence the sports comments!). Overall more than decent place

  • 4/5 Shubhanghi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good ambience, two big screens. It's a nice place to hangout with friends.. They have three pool boards you can play with friends. They have variety of beer options and non-alcoholic drinks are also available. They have a food menu but we didn't ordered any.

  • 4/5 Filip P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to watch football. The screens are not great, but the atmosphere is amazing. The food is ok at best. Don’t expect top quality. They have a lot of assortment, best to get a few items and share with the table. Staff was friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Chasity S. 2 years ago on Google
    1st stop on our evening out on the town in Manchester pub hopping and food. Such a nice spot and the menu looks like it would be a good place to visit for brunch.

  • 3/5 Oliwia K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just a regular pub, deserts are okay but could be much better. You can deffinitely taste that cheap store taste in the waffles and donuts and they arent actually made in the pub. Thr milkshakes were very tasty though

  • 5/5 Laura W. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly and helpful staff. Good food and quick drinks for brunch. Would recommend if you in Manchester!

  • 5/5 JMac 1. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here with a hen party on a Saturday afternoon for a bottomless brunch. Great atmosphere and cannot speak highly enough of the staff. Robin ensured we were always topped up on drinks and did everything possible to make our day as special as possible! Would definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Nathan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub just between UoM and Man Met Uni, great atmosphere and decor. Large selection of drinks at a good price for the location. The upstairs is also very good for social events. Lots of tables on both floors and table service to tables for drinks and food

  • 5/5 Gerrard C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere for the euro final. Brilliant pub for sport. Had a pint of Lunar Haze which was very nice. Also the food was very good. Pyper was in the kitchen I believe and food was fast and tasty. Will be coming again for football

  • 5/5 josh b. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Been coming here since first year and I've not stopped since. Pool tables and great craft beer selection. Got a great rapport with Sam and roxy now as well. Been holding out writing this for ages but it's 100% due. Get yourself to the footage, such a great place!

  • 5/5 Paisley O. 11 months ago on Google
    We booked a bottomless brunch at the footage and Beth and Stan were amazing servers, very quick and prompt and all round lovely!! We had a lovely time and well got our money’s worth from the bottomless brunch! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others or book again myself!

  • 3/5 Nikkey H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for a wrestling event. Was chaotic, no table reserved despite pre-booking. Sound not great. Only a limited menu available but not informed of this until we went to the bar to order. But not badly priced and food was good.

  • 5/5 Mahtab U. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is great. We had a large booking for 20+ people. It is spacious. Drinks were great at a reasonable price. Staffs were lovely. A very good place to unwind yourself after a busy day with your friends and colleagues.

  • 2/5 Manny P. 1 year ago on Google
    Was great, but been twice recently in the past few months (first time since 2020) and bar staff have been inattentive on these 2 occasions with me and a few mates who experienced similar. One where I was waiting to be served ahead of someone else at the bar, bartender comes over and asks "Who's next?" and I said it was me, but the bartender had to check with the other attendee whether I was waiting first (for validation?), once satisfied I was then served ; another was where I was waiting to be served at the bar ahead of some others, and after a bit of a wait and a few other people went to the bar AFTER ME, were served first. Few mates of mine experienced similar on a few different occasions. Experience possibly down to new staff, being quite busy on the recent occasion with football World Cup and possible Xmas Do crowds, but honest feedback. Apart from this, good atmosphere though

  • 5/5 George W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bottomless brunch. Friendly staff, especially Rafe who was great. Food from the kitchen was also really good. Would highly recommend. Showed all the sports too

  • 5/5 Colette L. 1 year ago on Google
    I went for bottomless brunch and I had such a lovely time with my friends. All the staff (especially Sam and Beth) were super friendly and welcoming and made the whole experience feel special and exciting. Food was very tasty and well priced. Would 100% recommend if you want a good time !!!

  • 3/5 David �. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing building that has been abused. The staff were lovely, the decor was garish and the toilets were possibly the worst I've seen in Manchester. It was worth going there just to sit and listen to the acoustics in the building and marvel at what it once must have been like to watch a movie in here. I would return, but only to sit and marvel.

  • 4/5 dave p. 1 year ago on Google
    Called in Monday 27/3/23. Had the crowd pleaser very nice ,we will definitely be back when we are in Manchester again👍

  • 5/5 Aline A. 10 months ago on Google
    Came here for bottomless brunch as its only £25 which is a steal for what you actually get! I was looked after by the wonderful Rafe. He is so attentive and always got a smile on his face. Usually bottomless brunch places you find yourself looking for the waiter/waitress but with Rafe he would come over before your glass was empty to order your next drink. I will definitely be back!!

    Fantastic place, amazing drinks, Beth was the perfect host

  • 5/5 Lizzy M. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Best value bottomless brunch in MCR. We were served by Stan who was incredible, such good value for money, fast service and very friendly. So good for the money. Food was yummy but not the star of the show, drinks were delicious and they have a great range. Sports showed so the vibe of the place does change based on if there is a match happening but genuinely will be back and will never stop raving about this

  • 5/5 Rachel K. 11 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Absolutely fantastic bottomless brunch. Drinks and food and the wings are amazing. Beth our waitress was brilliant. Kept the drinks flowing. Rachel and Max in the kitchen served amazing fresh food. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
