    Second time visited and ordered cuban zombie. Not sure what that short hair guy made. For sure worst cocktail. The Latin dude who previously made cocktails was the best. For sure not ordering from him again.

    Arrived today in a group of 6. Ladies went in first telling guy on door that we were following in 2 minutes As soon as we tried to get in he says it's bookings only. Get that jobsworth off your door

    Nice looking bar with great music. The staff were very helpful and there is a great selection of drinks to choose from. Although the prices are on the steep side, I highly recommend visiting here with friends.

    Head Doorman claims to be the General manager to avoid you speaking to the actual manager. He is rude, discriminatory, talks over you and makes you feel uncomfortable. prevented people coming to a 30th with a £1000 bar tab. I felt talked down to and belittled by the head doorman as did many other people at the same party as me. Customer service training required. AVOID

    We booked this in advance. We attempted to get in however we arrived, said the booking name and instantly got turned away. Within seconds a woman came out with a name card to reclaim the booking fee (this was named in the bookers name). I find this very suspicious as we had only just arrived and we we had only had a few drinks so were not drunk. They are either sexist as we were a group of men or they double book and turn you away if they're full. We were planning on meeting friends there and would have been a group of 10+. As a result of this we left and so did the other group. Please avoid booking in this venue!!!!!!!

    Good music, however I do not appreciate being thrown ice at constantly. When ask the waitress politely to please to stop throwing ice to the customers, she replied "I'm just working". I'm not an animal to throw things at.

    The place is located at Deansgate, and is easy to find. Lots of guests. Nice bar, friendly staff, and clean toilets. Just one big issue. They don't serve ANY food, not even snacks to eat with the alcohol.

    Kyle Smith saved my life. I've always been self conscious of the way that I look, never feeling happy when I met myself in the mirror but he had my back. I went into Be At One with a girl way beyond the likes I could ever hope of being with but Kyle kept offering advise and boosting my morale. Absolute legend, 10/10

    Amazing bar, great music. Staff were great, one of the staff called Nathan suggested me a drink and it was really nice.

  • 5/5 Andi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, loved the app so you can start the happy hour on drinks when you want, cocktails were fab, all the staff are really nice.

  • 3/5 Tracey W. 1 year ago on Google
    Went last night nice bar good music. But not happy sat at a table with our friends having a drink. Then all of a sudden. One of the girls put a card on the table we had to get off it in 10 minutes. Surely when someone is sat at the table they shouldn't kick you off. Just because someone else as just booked. They didn't even ask if we were staying for another drink. Definitely not going in again. They should say its just booking only as you walk in

  • 5/5 Terri S. 1 year ago on Google
    Be At One is always party ready. No matter what time of day. Be ready to dance, as the music is amazing, staff are friendly and the prices are good if you get there for happy hour!

  • 4/5 Lorna R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing music playlist! The cocktails were nice, but I felt a lot of the garnishes on them were unnecessary and let the taste and texture of the drinks down a little.

    When strolling down Deansgate on a sunny Saturday afternoon we could hear the base of Benny Benasi, we thought it was coming from an apartment, or a car but no, it was this place. We walked in receiving big smiles from the guys on the door. The place is very long, we carried on walking to the bottom. Next thing we're on a kind of dance floor dancing and singing like it's a NYE party in full flow. Bare in mind it's only 4pm on a Saturday! Atmosphere was amazing, everyone enjoying themselves including the bar staff, lights going on and off to keep the party atmosphere going, bar staff launching crushed ice into air, sticking umbrellas up when "it's raining men" came on with even more crushed ice flying around. Busy but bar staff were great, cocktails were good. And even better, there is happy hour 12-6 on a Saturday! Plenty of seats too at the back and more towards the front. If want to go for a quiet drink I don't think this is for you, but if you want to have a laugh and let your hair down you need to attend this place. 100% will be returning when next in the city centre. If going just to attend here I think it would be worth booking a table via their website. Credit to the bar staff they definitely make this place how good it is!!

    What a great bar. Fab cocktails, super friendly staff (our server Emily was an absolute credit to the team), great music and 2-1 afternoon. Couldn’t ask for better. Had a great day in Manchester !!

  • 5/5 Carrie G. 8 months ago on Google
    Went to Be at one in Manchester a couple of weekends ago and what an amazing night. The music was amazing and the staff were just great. Shout out to Paul he made sure we were all okay all night.

  • 5/5 Keith W. 1 year ago on Google
    The old Living Room which has had the restaurant taken out and is now one long bar. Great atmosphere especially if you're a fan of 90"s pop music - as in not madchester! Worth a visit if you're in town.

  • 5/5 Jasmin P. 8 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely evening here, drinks and music were great and we was served by Joe who was fantastic and always noticed when our drinks were running low. He was very chatty and welcoming. Will be coming back. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Emily G. 8 months ago on Google
    What a brilliant bar! I had a great time here, downloaded the App for an extra hour of 241 and stayed way longer than expected. Thank you to Joey for recommending some great cocktails and making the night unforgettable!

  • 5/5 Jessica R. 8 months ago on Google
    The whole place has an amazing vibe! Staff are friendly but ellannah really stood out! She went beyond to make sure I was having the best experience possible! And she always had a big smile on her face!

  • 5/5 Nathan J. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing bar and staff, mema was fabulous and so welcoming. Would recommend coming here

  • 5/5 ChaCha S. 4 months ago on Google
    Didn't get a chance to sample the food here. Good variety of music. Not too crowded as they control numbers on the door. Good vibe.

  • 5/5 Meghan B. 4 months ago on Google
    Always a pleasure in Be At One. Best place for cocktails, especially at happy hour! I would recommend the Bueno cocktail and the birthday shot cocktail. The birthday shot cocktail comes with a Polaroid picture which is so cute!

  • 5/5 James H. 4 months ago on Google
    So many brilliant nights out in Be At One Manchester. My mates absolutely love going. If you are looking for a nightout with a non stop party vibe you have to go! It has the best music, cocktails and the staff are amazing!

  • 5/5 Mo T. 4 months ago on Google
    Staff and very friendly and so vigilante making sure everyone is being served well lovely place and amazing atmosphere I’d definitely be back Thank you.!

  • 5/5 Luke B. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic venue. Couldn’t have asked for better service and a better team. Kindly made sure no stone was unturned on my night (this was a private event) and really made it special. I cannot think of anything to recommend as an improvement. Everyone was so professional, fun and welcoming. Thank you so much to Ash, Cameron, Denise and the team.

  • 5/5 Niall B. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s rare you feel like you’re in a quality establishment with people who actually care about there job anymore. You can tell from the vibe and the professionalism of the team there that they truly care about their trade and they knew it well. Our bartender Kyle (the one with glasses) made us feel welcome from the get go and made great recommendations to me. Had a great night and it’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer. Would highly recommend to any looking for a drink in the area.

  • 3/5 Colin B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of my favourite place to go. The cocktails are so good and the music is amazing. My only disappointment last night was the way the staff treated us before we were due to leave our table. At least 5 different people came over to remind us the table was required, which we were going to vacate with no problem. The male member of staff became quite aggressive in his manner when speaking to my wife which was unnecessary. This unfortunately ruined our experience of what is normally one of our favourite bars to go to in Manchester.

  • 5/5 RS 1 year ago on Google
    Great for a night out, drinks are fairly priced and music is good. Also a big thank you to the bouncers who didnt give us any hassle on the door getting in or anything. Would definitely go there again.

  • 5/5 Clare P. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved it! Brilliant choice of cocktails. Music was spot on and plenty of space to dance. Wasn't overcrowded which was a nice change but don't know if that was due to Covid restrictions or if that's how many they normally let in. Staff were very good, wiping down tables, collecting empties, cleaning the restroom etc. Would definitely return next time we're in Manchester.

  • 5/5 Owen A. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow oh wow! They had some really great tunes on, you could feel the atmosphere coming from the street! Nice to see they're following guidelines to keep everyone safe, had our COVID Pass at the ready and we were inside in a matter of moments! Great drinks too, will definitely be returning!

  • 5/5 Marie H. 2 years ago on Google
    I spent amazing Saturday night there! Staff made excellent atmosphere and I can tell that I haven't had that lovely rums drinks long time :) I will definitely come back. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Owen A. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a fantastic venue, very knowledgeable staff and very tasty drinks! They were all very crazy throwing ice and partying! Great to see them all having so much fun in their work :) p.s. Alex should be used as a garnish ;)

  • 5/5 Faye M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great 2 for 1 cocktails and good staff

  • 4/5 Hayley F. 2 years ago on Google
    We were in the room upstairs, wonderful helpful staff... A little strange that you have to walk through an outside corridor to get to the toilet

  • 5/5 Oliver E. 2 years ago on Google
    Another great afternoon there. Music is fantastic, drinks are brilliant even if you sometimes wait a little while to be served. The place always has a great energy. Never disappoints.

  • 1/5 P M. 2 years ago on Google
    I was having a good night with some work colleagues, although the music was quite loud. Suddenly the bouncers escorted me out, even though I was just speaking to one of my friends, not being disruptive or anything like that. I was very confused... Will not be returning.

  • 5/5 Mark N. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the best bars in Manchester. Great place to sit, staff all very attentive and friendly (even when busy!), great drinks offers and atmosphere second to none. We'll certainly be straight back on our next visit to Manchester!

  • 5/5 Lorraine D. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite place ever for drinks with friends and a night out!!!!! If you are ever in Manchester you need to go, the best throwbacks and drinks all night. Ask for Emily if you want the most friend bartender ever, she is always amazing every time I visit <3

  • 1/5 Casey Y. 2 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and his mates booked here for there friends birthday and I was disgusted that they were turned away, because there were ‘too many boys’ despite paying a deposit. This is not okay by any means and a group shouldn’t be pre-judged before they have even stepped foot inside. Don’t recommend booking, as you might be turned away and left with no where to go after, especially on a Saturday when a lot of places will be booked up!

  • 5/5 Luke S. 2 years ago on Google
    10/10 - I organised a close friend’s birthday party here as a last minute option as we lost our tickets to a live event. It was so, so much fun - great music, delicious drinks, easy-going vibe, and the service was fantastic. Huge shout in particular to James who served us and went the extra mile in making the party so much fun. We all had a great time and I’ll definitely be back

  • 5/5 Trevor N. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice bar, good cocktail knowledge and a 2-4-1 till 7.

  • 5/5 Oliver K. 2 years ago on Google
    My friends and I weren't sure where to go to for drinks during bank holiday weekend so we had a little walk down Deansgate and passed Be At One and we were greeted by the lovely Ruby who managed to arrange a table for 6 of us last minute on a busy evening and made sure we got table service. We had a great night out dancing to 90s hits and the cocktails were flowing This will definitely be a staple venue on my list of places to go to for drinks/a night out and we will be visiting again. A very enjoyable experience and thank you to Ruby for sorting us out. 5/5 stars

  • 5/5 Aidan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fancy cocktails made well at a good price, combined with good music and good vibes! It's a winning formula! Wholeheartedly recommend! Shout out to the bartender Vee, absolutely perfect service, she made our night!👌

  • 5/5 Ethan J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place! Special shoutout to the amazing host Ruby! For making us feel very welcome. Another shout out to Owen behind the bar for making our drinks to perfection. Great job as always, great atmosphere and an amazing place!

  • 5/5 kyle b. 1 year ago on Google
    Emily was very knowledgeable, my wife Judith was very tired during our big day out in Manchester, and was recommended and “espresso martini” it certainly perked her up! I wish more bar staff were like this wee young lass, EXCELLENT WILL BE BACK AGAIN!!!

  • 5/5 Mehek S. 1 year ago on Google
    Spontaneous visit and was made to feel very welcome by Emily! She took care of us the whole night, made sure we were having fun and enjoyed ourselves the whole night. Thanks Emily!

    Cocktails are amazing from this place, such a good variety and really friendly staff, the manager is really friendly too and seems to keep the morale of the staff high! Decor is nice. Highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Abigail L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little cocktail bar with great staff, friendly door staff and an amazing atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Emma 2 years ago on Google
    We really couldn't have had a better night out for our anniversary! Nothing was too much trouble. Definitely a night to remember. Everything was clean, there was an awesome atmosphere and all of the staff were great, but Joey was just brilliant a top gent. Will visit again soon!

  • 5/5 Barbara B. 1 year ago on Google
    The music and cocktails made for an excellent afternoon. We were probably the oldest there but everyone was really friendly.

  • 5/5 Annalee C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lee “Sunshine Blinds” C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed. Did not book a table but the doorman was very polite and said we could go in and stand. We ordered 2 cocktails and they happened to be the best drinks of the night. We only stayed for one as lots of places in Manchester to go but a defo recommend. 👌
