    On the basis that I can’t give a negative review … it would just be nice to have notice that the pub is closed on the website, before you walk all the way there to find that it’s been ripped out!

    Nice enough but the prices for a pint are what you'd get down London! Nearly £7 for a pint of Camden hells, scandalous

    Great location to catch the afternoon sun. Good choice of beers.

    My recent visit to The Dockyard in Manchester left me thoroughly impressed. The rustic yet inviting atmosphere, with its exposed brick walls and vintage decor, provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. The food and drink offerings were equally impressive. The menu featured a diverse range of dishes, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor and made from quality ingredients. The craft beer selection was a standout, offering a variety of local and international brews. The attentive and friendly staff added to the overall experience. The Dockyard is a must-visit for those seeking great food, drinks, and a cozy ambiance in Manchester.

    Very friendly staff, nice roomy place and a good selection of beers, gins and wines. The menu was just what we wanted on a cold Sunday afternoon

    Great place for a good drinking session. Amazing choice of beer/ales and cocktails. Great venue for friends/groups to go.

  • 1/5 Mark G. 1 year ago on Google
    Miserable barman with no manners. £6.50 for a pint. Won't be going there again anytime soon

  • 5/5 Nick R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beer and service. The food is amazing but it's not as cheap as other pus but the quality is there

  • 3/5 Christina C. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent pub! Good for cheapish drinks, good music, cool decor, good atmosphere. Sometimes busy sometimes just the right amount of people.

    Great pub and prices in spinning fields. Currently hard to find because of the scaffolding Great for live sports and games (pool and table football)

  • 5/5 Charlotte D. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are so welcoming and nice, the chef came and explained all the desserts and offer to show us them all before purchasing. Deffo would recommend;)

  • 4/5 Sally H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location and vibe inside & out. Price quiet high for the quality but guess it's because of the location. Didn't try the food but will next time. Has 2 pool tables and big screens playing sport.

  • 2/5 Scott H. 1 year ago on Google
    Some decent beer but not as much choice as you'd hope for. The burger I ordered was absolutely terrible. Meant to be a pastrami burger and it literally had 1 slice of pastrami less than 1mm thick in it 😂 the reason pastrami is thin is that you use multiple layers of it. 1 layer against a thick rubbery overcooked burger you CANNOT TASTE. To the chef I say this - go to Google images and search for Beefy Boys Pastrami Burger and take a look at it. Then imagine YOUR burger with ONE piece of pastrami in it. Then maybe consider a career change.

    Huge bar showing football at every turn, quite busy with outdoor seating. Very impersonal and atmosphere not that friendly. Stopped off here before an event, was ok for a quick drink but wouldn't go there for a night out.

  • 4/5 Sophie L. 1 year ago on Google
    First time visiting this place and it was a great laid back place. We were sat outside and had a lovely view of the water. Drinks are slightly on the pricier side, but will definitely be returning!

  • 4/5 Mark Prior (Marky P. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. There are TVs showing sports and a couple of pool tables to make use of. Was only there for drinks but the selection of beers was varied so you'll easily be able to find something to your taste and the staff were very friendly.

  • 4/5 smol b. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent place for a drink, staff nice and friendly.

  • 3/5 Richard H. 2 years ago on Google
    Mixed crowd which is good. Confusing choice of beers. Very slow service. Even when only a few people queueing at the bar it takes ages to get served.

  • 3/5 Alwaysanovice 2 years ago on Google
    Pizzas good, this point was absolutely rank tho. Tasted sour.

  • 4/5 George H. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice bar amongst the financial district of Spinningfields. Boasts a good selection of both mainstream lagers/beers and independent IPAs. It has a sports bar feel with multiple screens often showing sports so probably offers a good atmosphere during big games.

  • 3/5 Jack S. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn't find this place very appealing, the location is nice but that's it. The decor is very basic, not really welcoming. Also it's quite expensive, a pint of lager is nearly £6.

    Went here today and got the hunter chicken burger. It inclued Fried chicken, lettuce,cheese,bbq sauce and bacon. Also a side of fries. The chicken had no flavour but the rest made up for it. The chips were perfect. If i was near by, i would come here again.

👍👍 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...
