    Great deal on breakfast and endless tea/coffees. Bit early for the 241 cocktails...but the pints looked good. Staff friendly and efficient quick service. Close to station and shops. Set up for the day. Clean the loos a bit?

    The food, atmosphere, and the Staff was amazing. The Venue is very clean, and the music is at just the right level, so you can enjoy your meal and conversation. Football was on t.v. but the sound was muted, so non fans were not subjected to having to listen to the commentary. The food was good value for ££, very tasty and well presented

    We enjoyed a nice meal and a good few drinks here. The service was efficient and the menu certainly had something for everyone. Unfortunately we had to clear our own table and it was a little Sticky in places but overall can’t complain.

    Our first visit to Piccadilly Tavern is definitely not our last! The place is big, but the decoration makes it really cozy. An excellent selection of beers and other drinks, this was my first time trying a Zoombie cocktail. It seemed that the burgers that looked epic on other people's plates were very popular. Staff although busy were very attentive. But one person in particular helped us and enchanted us with her smile and care. My family and I want to thank Adriana for the experience of good service. Well done guys! 👏

    Opened the door to a strange pub, greeted with a warm welcome and a big smile, ordered two steaks which I have to say were really good, keep up the amazing work Sain.

    Good seating comfortable nice Christmas decorations. The food was good. Could do with some more beans on the plate think there was a spoonful. About ££ price range.

    The food was great!! We received the 2 for 1 on cocktails 🥰🥰 and 4 Shots for £6 🤩🤩 The service was great! The toilets were clean and tidy. There was a group of boys who made a lot of noise but then again, you get those kind of people everywhere. Would love to visit again!!

    the salad is served without sauce and there is no salad sauce available. The Cheeseburger served without cheese, the cheese was added at our request! it wasn't even melted. On the menu the churros had to have a chocolate sauce, they were served without sauce! and they were hard as wood! a lot of waiting despite our reminders, the children were exhausted. The order was not respected, some desserts were not served and yet paid for, we had to complain! we all ate offbeat, in short, a horrible evening, when we were together with the family for a wedding the next day...

    The Irish fella behind the bar got annoyed because we asked him to correct the error he made with our drinks and seemed generally offended at the idea of needing to do his job. Rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was great

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Piccadilly Tavern, and I was blown away by the delightful food and charming ambiance. The menu featured a variety of delicious dishes. The attentive service, particularly from Adriana, added a personal touch to the dining experience. I highly recommend The Piccadilly Tavern for anyone.

    A large pub with a very similar vibe to a Wetherspoons. Boothroyd says he has hardly ever been here as it can be a bit intimidating on busy days, especially Saturdays in the footie season. It is a great place to meet up, a cheap place to fill up with food and drink. The huge plus for Boothroyd was a choice of 8 real ales from all over. We had a 4.4% Pale Ale, Brummie Blond by Birmingham brewery.. there were ales from London Sussex, Rutland, Suffolk and Surrey. Also Wainwright's Amber but not sure where this is now brewed..I think Staffordshire. Loads of TV's. The breakfast menu looks great, £8 for a massive full Irish..smaller options available. Changes to main menu at midday. Don't bring your date for the food but otherwise looks cheap and cheerful. £10 deal for two mains.

    Nice friendly sports bar, staff are great, there was plenty of people eating so the food must have been good. Would go there again. P.s I would have had the big Irish Breakfast but it didn't have any black/white pudding, not Irish without them !!

  • 3/5 Mr P. 8 months ago on Google
    Very good service. Staff proud to say we’re not a Wetherspoon although it def has that vibe. Big problem that on a Saturday afternoon they’d run out of all beers. Weird and costly. We were a group of 14 and would have stayed a lot longer if they’d had something to drink!

    Went in here a good few times, enjoyed having a breakfast. My partner struggled to finish his medium size, unlike him. Another day I had Gammon steak 😋 ,Absolutely lovely, great value. Staff very welcoming and friendly

    Traditional tavern with friendly staff but worn out furniture. Ordering by QR code at the table was turned off so we had to order at the bar. Food was ok.

  • 2/5 Robert G. 6 months ago on Google
    An overall very disappointing experience at the Piccadilly Tavern after an afternoon visit to Manchester. The food was average and of Wetherspoons standard as was the whole atmosphere. The main thing that let the pub down was the terrible attitude of the young bar man that served me, he was most unhelpful and rude. My advice would be go elsewhere or if not don’t be misled by signs behind the bar that say ‘a beer and burger from £8.25’ (note the word from - as was pointed out to me when my bill was considerably more) or if ordering a Diet Coke request a smaller size in advance because you will receive a pint (and charge you over £3 for the privilege!) In addiction make sure you read the menu thoroughly before ordering as the staff are most unhelpful, make a note of your table number which you can hardly see on the menu holders or you’ll be ordered back to go and find it (and then when you can’t the bar man will sarcastically tell you it himself!) Overall summary, average food served by very rude and obnoxious staff.

    Food was cold. Toilets ladies were disgusting. Water flowing on the floor. Another full of toilet paper. Another had no door. Just 1 ladies toilet in operation.Had to ask to turn down music it was very loud we had to shout to each other to have a chat

  • 5/5 Thunderblue600 6 months ago on Google
    Beyond EXCEPTIONAL & EXPECTATIONS on EVERY Level. The mixed grill was off the scale on taste and damn good value. The salted caramel with ice cream to die for. Ideal location close to Piccadilly Station, loved the ambiance and great service. My second visit to this grand pub and my go to for future visits from London. Ok that I was obliged to wear footwear I won’t hold that against you!

    Nice atmosphere and decent food, the guy that served me was very kind and polite

  • 5/5 M F. 5 months ago on Google
    Superb food at a very reasonable price (particularly recommend the mixed grill and the fish and chips). Pleasant and efficient service. It will be seen I have only given three stars for atmosphere. NOT the fault of the pub or staff, but that of group on adjoining table with a badly behaved child.

  • 5/5 Richard G. 4 months ago on Google
    Such a delightful pub just off Piccadilly Gardens. Serving a variety of cask ales and lagers, the weekday lunch deal is a steal. One of the best gammon, egg and chips I've ever had - would recommend!

  • 5/5 Suzanne S. 9 months ago on Google
    The best breakfast I've had in a while! Recommend the ' hearty Irish.' Lovely moist sausage!

  • 2/5 Allan B. 10 months ago on Google
    More staff than customers at the bar, but stood around for 10 minutes waiting, just for another customer to walk up and get served straight away. Food "not on for the next hour" at 4pm on a Sunday? Blessing in disguise so we didn't need to rely on more shoddy customer service.

  • 3/5 Carlos D. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in around 10am. Toilets were stinking of p!€€ and the "pee mats" were actually moldy, the "senior" staff were polite but "couldn't be bothered", the "new guy" (long hair and beard 😜) was amazing. [1 🌟 less cause of the Toilets, otherwise would be 4 for that lovely new guy]

  • 5/5 Dragonknight o. 1 year ago on Google
    Really really good breakfast 😋 beer cheap enough 😋

  • 5/5 Nero 9 months ago on Google
    Came on a decently busy Saturday, and the drinks came fast and were reasonably priced for being in the city centre, was always served by polite bar staff and it was accompanied by a smile. A particular shoutout to the Irish lad with the curly hair and the lad with the Celtic tattoos up his arm, good to see them having a laugh while working through the busyness

  • 5/5 Lorne P. 10 months ago on Google
    Same price as wetherspoons and fresh food. Delicious fry up, great atmosphere and service. I wish I had a pub like this everywhere.

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 1 year ago on Google
    Bangers and mash were okay, the Korean fried chicken with curly fries was great though. I don't particularly like the "order from your phone" method they encourage but I guess you can order at the bar too, if you want. It's worth a visit if you're in Manchester.

  • 3/5 Agustina Marquez S. 1 year ago on Google
    The pie was not bad.. neither the frites but the vegetables seemed like made of plastic. The place is nice. You have to pick up a table and go to order ..

  • 5/5 THESTIG5954 1 year ago on Google

    The Pub is beautiful and the atmosphere amazing!! The staff welcomes you with a big smile specially Adriana, always helpful and attentive! The food is great and they have 2-4-1 cocktails for a very good price! Toilets are clean and they also have big TVs with football on!! A great place at a great location in MCR!

  • 5/5 Thai D. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently went to this pub with my family, good atmosphere and great fish and chips. Adriana was the one who attended us and did a fab service with excellence and heart, thank you very much for your service Adriana, you're amazing and deserve all the best. I'm sure that when we return to Manchester, we will come back to this place. I highly recommend it!
