    I went to The Lost Dene for Breakfast and later to watch the football. The Staff there were really polite, helpful and chatty which was great. The food was good and the prices are reasonable. I would recommend The Lost Dene to all.

    Great place to have a drink. And they serve San Miguel so it gets my vote. The menu looks great and the offers they have are also great will go back to try the food Bar staff friendly enough. One down side toilets are up some very long stairs but when you do get to them they are the cleanest toilets I've seen in a very long time so it's worth the climb . disabled toilets are on the grand floor Can recommend this pub fantastic for sports as it as a number of TV all round the pub .

    One member of staff stood out more than the rest when it comes to providing great customer service and amazing attention to detail. You naturally gravitate to her warmth and genuine smile. Brilliant to see this type of service in a City Centre pub. Nicola well done I’ve told my friends to ask for you when they visit your pub.

    Food was really tasty reasonably priced. Friendly,helpful staff who seemed knowledgeable in the food they were servicing as there was a lady in our party who's gluten free so they had a separate menu for her which she was pleased about. First time in visiting today would visit again if we were up that end of town.

    Went for lunch with a few friends and really enjoyed my Katsu Chicken. It tasted really authentic and my friends really enjoyed their food too. I will definitely be returning! Great for work lunches.

    Went in their on a Monday afternoon and a pint of carling was only about £2.50 compare that to the pub down the road which was more then double the price so the last den is well worth the value. It's an alright pub for a cheap drink and chill.

    Food was awful pie was like a rock needed a hacksaw to cut it burgers was hard as nails on the out side lettuce was like it was week out limp and soggy veg was like rubber in edible. Staff was lovely but my five year old could cook better

    Went to the lost Dean yesterday with a few friends and had such a lovely time, such a nice chilled and welcoming environment staff are great and very welcoming I really recommend this pub as a place to go for whatever the occasion the staff will try and sort you to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I shall surely return in the near future

    Called in over the bank holiday weekend whilst out shopping, the atmosphere was brilliant, great selection of drinks at good prices, literally something for everyone! Welcoming staff and speedy service. We will definitely be making a return visit!

  • 5/5 Drew T. 6 months ago on Google
    A really nice pub with a great selection of beers and spirits. We were in as a small group and the place was quiet but managed to keep a good atmosphere. Service at the bar was fast and the staff were nice and chatty. Overall it was a great night and we will definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Jane S. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place! We came in to watch the Utd game with a drink. We ended up having tea whilst we were here & the smothered steak was perfect! Plenty of TVs, so was great to watch the match. Will be back in the future. Bruce was so helpful.

  • 5/5 Emilio R. 10 months ago on Google
    Always pop into done for a quick pint or 5, ordered a BBQ Mac burger which was well priced considering the location. Food and waffle fries were really nice and definitely more than enough - filled me up nicely. Lots of TVs in here as well which makes it ideal to watch big sporting competitions in there - they also decorate the pub from time to time depending on what event is on, such as world cup. Staff seem friendly and happy, never had a problem in here.

    Nice fast & good service. Good deals on the food. 5 small plates for £15. Get the hot chicken wings at your own risk 😅😅 (California reaper & black garlic sauce)

  • 5/5 Matthew W. 5 months ago on Google
    Has now become one of my favourite pubs. Good solid pub food and drinks are at a very reasonable price, especially for Manchester City centre (burger and chips and a gin for £11.49!) Great atmosphere and lots of tv screens with live sport on and the staff are really good. Well worth going in

    Visited the Lost Dene whilst visiting Manchester on Friday evening. The staff were really welcoming and friendly and the pub had a lovely atmosphere . We will definately return on our next visit to Manchester due to the great team. Thank You for a great visit!

    Really enjoyed our all day breakfast and beer/wine. The service was with a smile and I thought the food and drink was reasonably priced. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the menus and tables were a bit sticky.

  • 2/5 J “PorcoR” C. 10 months ago on Google
    A generic sports bar at best. Prices are quite high comparing others in the vicinity. Next to no atmosphere. However, it was clean and they seemed to be working hard to keep disreputable out (to mixed success), but the main reason of this low rating, is just the horrendous service. 4 staff at least working in and around the bar. Despite standing there alone for a while, and many staff passing by, no one took my order. Eventually they did and I brushed it off as a one off, but when another in our group went to get a round in, the staff were more interested laughing and being on their phones... just an overall bad experience, not enjoyable.

    Went in on a Saturday for a drink and food was amazing friendly staff nice and relaxing Environment

  • 5/5 Tom H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good pub to visit if there's a group of you for a few beers. Great setup for watching any football. Decent prices for a pint being in the town centre also the bar staff were always friendly. I will definitely call in for a pint again soon.

  • 5/5 Greg 11 months ago on Google
    always been impressed with the atmosphere, food and service at The Lost Dene. Always clean, chilled out and just a great place to hang out with sports playing and sometimes live performers. Popular Manchester pub but plenty of room to get a table and have a good time. Dog friendly too 👍🐝

  • 4/5 Steve C. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfair for me to rate this place as my family and I went in for a quiet meet up. Place was lively and not what we wanted. Had one drink and moved on. From what I experienced. Good and lively place for groups to meet and enjoy a few libations hence the 4 stars. I'd go back with different company.

  • 5/5 Roselina P. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect spot for food and drink options in the afternoon and part of the evening, nice portion sizes and a few good menu choices to be had here. Good space for eating and drinking at the tables, good choice for near buses and in some way Metrolink as well. Looking forward to more on another visit to Manchester.

  • 5/5 Kat H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in here today. Was lovely and welcoming. Very clean. Plenty of seating. Brilliant for a sports bar. Cold and hot drinks available and food was yummy. Plenty to choose from. Staff friendly kind and very helpful. Very attentive. Will be going back when we are next back in Manny. Brilliant location for shopping , can be used as a pit stop. Highly recommended. 5* all round. Kat and Stu 😊

    We called in for a quick drink on our way up to Portland St - we never got there & ended up staying here for 3 hours! :) From the initial welcome right through to leaving, everything was top notch. Food was excellent & the bar prices were the cheapest I've seen for a long time in a city centre pub. The staff are definitely worth a mention, service with a smile, always on the go & nothing is too much trouble - big shout out to Shan who looked after us! Shame we never got to Portland St but who cares - we've found ourselves a cracking new place to visit next time we are in town!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!

    Been to the Lost Dene today Shan and Kelly were amazing. Very friendly. Very good prices on a Monday. Would travel from Stoke to here any day. Clean bar, great prices, friendly and welcoming. What more can you ask for. See you again soon ❤

  • 5/5 Greg B. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my dog just had rump steak and a pint for £7.49 in their Daily Deals Menu. Pub is really clean, staff friendly, beer tastes great and big screens all round. Plenty of space to chill out, my new favourite on Deansgate👍🥇

  • 5/5 Will L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time. Live music but didn’t drown out the atmosphere, plenty of decent beers on offer, loads of screens for sport. Bar staff super helpful, changed the sport on our request to watch the footie. Served by Shan who was fantastic. Definitely coming back next time we’re up here

    Thursday lunchtime,friendly staff. Enjoyed the food and drink at a really affordable price under £10. Lasagne, chips extra and a pint of John Smith.

  • 4/5 T A. 1 year ago on Google
    Solid choice if you just want to watch a match while having food at the same time. Pretty good meal deals, but don’t expect culinary masterpieces. Friendly atmosphere as well.

👍👍 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...
