Has been a staple for any visit to Manchester for over a decade. Superbly located however, the soft furnishings are starting to feel a little worn - some may call this patina or character. Neat little outside space, nice bar area with a drinks menu that covers all of the bases. The sharing plates are especially good. There is a warm atmosphere at all times of the year but especially welcoming during the summer. Definitely a cornerstone will cool surroundings.

This place is terrible! Travelled from Canada and met a few old friends for lunch. Took 2 and a half hours for two rounds of drinks and some small appetizers. Waiters are just wandering around with no purpose. The lack of service is just astounding. We were a table of 6 and just felt ignored the entire time. I’d like to say it was just this location that was bad but sadly we had a similar experience in London. I shall be staying clear of All Bar One in future.

NO Cocktails Yep…that’s right a cocktail bar that’s not serving cocktails Said they couldn’t make any cocktails after we had been taken to the table due to having no ice £5.70 for a pint of Luke warm peroni Why the manager didn’t go and get some bagged ice and ask the staff to crush a load so they could keep serving beyond me Poor management A lot of the food on the menu is out of stock too Air con not working properly either so baking hot inside. Hand dryers not working either Everyone was complaining, no returning customers after that. Most people left after one round and by 10pm the place was almost empty A shame, under good management it would be great as the venue is good but the air con and poor management needs resolving, no apologies the staff even said they struggle to work in the heat Spoons is more upmarket than this dive

1st time in and had a good time. Didn't have long there but looking forward to next one . Just had drinks, meeting up with friends, yes I have some . Lol. Really nice staff , overall good atmosphere and good surroundings..... till next time

We were expecting table service, but had to order through the app. The staff were rushed off their feet, having very little time to offer service to the usual standard. When things got a little bit quieter, (but not much) the staff were lovely, and very hard working. The food was really nice and we enjoyed every dish.

Came here in the midst of our day drinking and we ended up staying longer than intended!! Great service, great cocktails and great atmosphere. We now MUST come back to try the food!! Special thank you to Mike and Tom who really made our experience!!

Lovely and cosy place. Tasty cocktails and tapas style food from the small plates menu. Mike, our server, was friendly and humorous. Also patient whilst we took some time to decide what we wanted to order. Would recommend 👌

All bar one looked inviting at the door so we gave it a try. The atmosphere inside was warm and welcoming and the staff were friendly. Justyna and Becky took care of us with great service. We had the tapas for two, a choice of small plates to share. The food was really really good. We’ll definitely come back and highly recommend.

Went for drinks with friends, had a few bottles of wine. They didn't have many snack options which was disappointing. We ordered some nuts which were tasty. Staff were polite and friendly, background music wasn't too loud and generally nice vibe.

Been twice in two months. Staff are lovely and friendly and drinks are always made to the highest quality. Very knowledgable of discounts and what promos can be used together. Would highly recommend this bar.

Brilliant afternoon with friends, food and drinks are always great but it was topped off today with absolutely amazing service from Justyna and James! Couldn't ask for more from a venue! Would defo recommend and we will be back:)

Good quality wine menu and excellent variety, but I was still eating my meal and a waitress snatched my plate of food away without question!- my friend was finished but I had only eaten half of my burger and looking forward to my fries (not cheap meal £14.50)! Now I could have complained but there was no time and it’s quite embarrassing to have to complain when you’re out to relax after a demanding week on the frontline.

Came for a bottomless brunch, food was lovely, service was incredible! Justyna was fantastic, making sure we were happy and kept on top of the bottomless drinks! Fab⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Justyana was the best host for our bottomless brunch! So attentive, funny and amazing service! Food and drink was 10/10 and we all had a great time and will definitely be back! x

Sweet potato fries with toasted ham n cheese Crispy chicken bites with chilli jam Very nice

Wow - what amazing service, the team are really engaged and looking after us was their number 1 priority. We came in for the evening set menu and it's great value and incredible food. Throw in some cocktails (2 for £14) and you've got a recipe for a great night!

I had a lovely time coming in for drinks at All bar one in Manchester. The service was smooth and efficient and all the staff were extremely friendly. Lilka was serving us and she was great! Thanks, will come again soon.

Well what a fantastic time! Excellent place! Would 100% recommend! Our supervisor Becky was simply marvellous! Thank you Becky for making our evening :)

Nice bar. We only had time for one drink prior to dinner. Very busy, but door staff were controlling the numbers that enter, so I'd recommend booking a table in advance on Fri or Sat.

Exceptional dining experience, food was amazing. Don't forget to add the wine package it really compliments each course

Called in here for brunch, chose the full English breakfast and there was a great offer of 2 for £15 which was an absolute bargain. Food was well presented and very enjoyable. It was pretty quiet when we arrived but was getting busy by the time we left. Nice atmosphere and nicely done out. Would highly recommend.

Came in to get a quick drink and food, staff are very pleasant. Ordering system is simple and everything was nominally clean and very short wait time for food. Only drawbacks, were cutlery took a long time to be brought to table (after food had come) as waitress forgot and had to be reminded. And the table was slightly wobbly. Otherwise, everything was perfect from this outlet of a well known chain of great bars.

We love All Bar One especially in Manchester City. Our server Sophie was attentive. She served impeccably and with a smile. My wife and I enjoyed speaking with her. Delightful. The food was tepid; barely room temperature. Not up to its standard. Unlike our server with a smile, Sophie!

We came in for a Caramel Old Fashioned and it was lovely and well-made by the friendly barman. Lovely atmosphere too!

Had the best night ever. James was the biggest icon I have ever met. Made my 21st so good. 10/10 - also probs to his fabulous Santa hat and jokes

Unfortunately following instructions clearly marked is not the right thing to do when dining here at all bar one King Street Manchester ..It says walk in choose any table and order and pay for your food and drink via their interactive app ... we ordered drinks, starters and main courses ..and waited only for the steaks to come out first with starters following closely behind .. meaning we would have had to eat the starters super fast so our steaks didn't go cold ..when we asked why all the food came out together we were advised we should have gone to the bar to let them know we wanted the starter as a starter and not all together ... OK but the starters were cold as they had clearly been waiting for the steaks to cook so a bit of a round about situation..one starter sent back cold ..the other we ate 2 pieces of garlic bread which would have been fab hot as it looked delicious ... £72.00 worse off ... and the sad thing is we went to their sister bar Miller and Carter who turned us away ( they hadn't had a delivery but directed us up here ) poor show guys you can do much better than what we got ...

Came here at the weekend for a hen do. Due to covid this hen do has been a long time coming so it was very emotional for all involved. Got into the bar….. Prosecco brought straight over and the tunes were brilliant. Have to say a Huge thank you to Ronnie the beautiful bar maid who came over and had an impromptu dance with the mother of the bride and the bridal party. It was such a moment and it really made everyone’s night. Brilliant Bar, brilliant staff, brilliant music and brilliant drinks! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Seems I visited when the chefs were distracted and I waited a very long time for my Eggs Benedict. However, they were very nice, perfectly cooked when they arrived. In addition, my bill was totally written off for the inconvenience of the wait, showing that true customer service does still exist.

This is a lovely bar with good food. Our server, Ciara, was pleasant and efficient. We will be back when in Manchester.

Nice and relaxed. Quiet at 2pm - 3.30pm. Fantastic service, served by a lovely girl called Ciara. Very friendly and chatty. Food and drink were excellent, we had tapas, with 2 mains, cocktails and desserts. Will come again if ever in Manchester 😁

Incredible food, extraordinary beverage, extraordinary assistance. Everything was decent. Really noisy inside the acoustics weren't incredible. Likewise there was a significant enormous 86 rundown the server had a very blameworthy outlook on it. Veggie lover burger was pleasant however. Much thanks to you.

First time out in Manchester since Feb 2020. Great table service - the staff were very helpfull

Good food but slightly on the expensive side, mains were reasonable but £7.50 for a small portion of Halloumi fries was a lot! Ordered & paid online which was simple and food arrived quickly. Not much interaction with staff but pleasant enough.

Went for brunch, super lovely food, peaceful environment, staff ok.

My friend and I fancied a change of venue and had a walk round Manchester City centre. We came across All Bar One and decided we would give it a go. We both liked the surroundings and found a seat easily. The bar staff were really nice and the Polish waitress (sorry can't remember her name) was absolutely lovely and so friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.

This was a lovely end to great day out at the Trafford Centre.. The food was out of this world and very tasty, delicious and not forgetting yummy...

Quality food, piping hot and a good selection of drinks. I had the bacon and burger and the wife had pan Thai. Could have done with a dip for the chips but overall a good meal.

Last weekend a group of us came for bottomless brunch for a friend's birthday. There had been some sort of issue with the booking but thankfully we were able to be seated. Our server for the afternoon was Justyna and she was absolutely fabulous, she made what could have been a negative experience into a fantastic one! She was friendly and attentive throughout and I cannot rate her highly enough! Thank you so much for a great afternoon Justyna!

What an amazing experience. Just popped in after being for meal elsewhere. Ordered a bottle of wine and was offered Tapas Tuesday by Daisy!!! Such great service by her and Mollie. Stylish atmosphere added to by their great service. Wine was extremely quaff able.. Bazinga!!! We'll be back!

A little bit hidden down some side streets this bar is a nice retreat from the hustle of the main city centre and has never been as busy as the nearby alternatives. On the most recent visit they insisted on waiting at the entrance to be seated, even just for a drink, and with only a single member of staff manning the operation the wait was a little excessive especially when we were asked just to find our own table - a drinking only section at certain parts of the day would probably help here. Some areas have the tables pretty crowded so if you’re unlucky you might find yourself getting ‘bumped’ regularly by passing groups, but there is a good range of seating options otherwise. The bar staff were all friendly and pretty efficient at making cocktails at speed, with never a need to wait very long. There’s no promotion on cocktails during the day, so it does end up a little expensive given the venue you’re in, but they were tasty enough. Overall its a decent enough place if you’re looking for a more relaxed drink during the day with no fuss.

Lovely staff, nice cocktail, long island ice tea, no need to book on this occasion. Dining out card voucher accepted. Another lovely visit to all bar one today, club sandwich great quality and yummy cocktails. Staff Alice and Justyna were both welcoming, friendly and attentive. Excellent customer service.

Our experience was ok. We came for brunch and it wasn’t busy which was nice. The staff were friendly enough. The food was ok, but I don’t think we will be running right back. Would try again for drinks

Came in on a quiet Friday morning, we were one of around four groups. Waited 40 minutes for food to come out. Poached eggs were hard. Salmon was cold. Eggs florentine came covered in mushrooms despite not being mentioned on the menu. Shame because the interior was lovely.

Had lunch today with my sister, first time been there, we both really enjoyed our meals. Easy online ordering and pay. Definitely will go back again soon 👍

Perfect place to go after work for some chilled drinks or food. Order via your phone, and the service is really quick, impressive service. Great cocktail selection, especially the hotel chocolate inspired range. Food pretty good too.

We frequented this bar to celebrate and had lots of money to spend on this occasion in the bar. The staff were absent for most of the afternoon and the table service was really poor. 10 minutes for an order and 20 minutes after that to be served. A member of staff declined to serve us at 1650 as she was “clocking off at 1700”- we soon left due to the really poor service- the one martini we had was great- such a shame for the poor service…. I would not recommend and I seriously suggest management engage with the staff and their attitude towards service.
