    Working nearby and being a fan of beer, I obviously had a moral obligation to check this place out. Walking in, the first thing you notice is that this place is BIG. Truly, there's a lot of space and I didn't even check out the upstairs seating area. When a booth finally opened up, my boyfriend and I were almost hesitant to take it since it was enormous and it was just the two of us. The modern, slick decor is a far cry from the cozy pub atmosphere that you find easily elsewhere in the city - which is a good thing, variety being the spice of life and all. However, I could see this place feeling a bit cold when it's not teeming with people which may not appeal to fans of more traditional pubs. There was a really good selection of beer on tap - Belgium (yay), Germany, France, US, and England were all proudly represented during my visit and it changes all the time (weekly I believe). The menu boasted a rather extensive range of bottled beers as well and takes a while to fully peruse. The prices are fair - probably better than fair given the area and range/quality of beers on offer. For those who are not fans of beer (you poor souls!) there is a range of other drinks available as well. I don't think this place will become my new haunt (the ambiance just lacked the coziness I like during my beer tasting adventures) but I will definitely end up returning to see what's on tap. Definitely one of the best places to try new beers in the city and I'll probaby end up checking out their shop on Tib Street as well!

    Cafe Beermoth have a great thing going. The only decent bar in this geographical area, they already appear to have a loyal following made up of devout beer lovers, local workers and shoppers wanting to escape the horror of Market Street at the weekend. It's bloody huge inside, with a staircase at one end leading to some additional seating upstairs. There's a good combination of dark and light decor, with mostly light wood furniture but dark walls, meaning it should slip perfectly between seasons, with no one balking at the thought of coming here in the sunnier months (which are hard to predict in our fair city!) We came during the first week on a Sunday and it was well attended - most of the seating was taken but we experienced no wait at the bar. The staff were sympathetic to my beer knowledge, or lack thereof, and allowed me a few samples. My half ended up costing more than the rest of the groups pints, but it was worth it in my opinion! Alongside beer they serve spirits, wine and soft drinks, plus hot drinks in the morning. The menu is vast so don't be pressured into ordering something straight away, just take a seat and decide. Cafe Beermoth isn't the kind of place to feel rushed, I can certainly see myself having a few heavy weekends and lighter work meetings here.

    No kerb appeal as yet, but looks awesome inside!

    This hotly anticipated 'beer cafe', from the owners of Beermoth in the NQ, discreetly opened its doors to the public at the weekend - a much-needed, decent drinking spot in this part of town. The space is cavernous, but still feels warm thanks to the darker colours and wood throughout. The designers have certainly impressed with a slick, yet practical interior. To me it's half-way between the NQ and Spinningfields in design (in a very good way). A gorgeous set of booths, separated again by stained carpentry, stretches across the front, with large windows where you can look out at passers-by. There's lots of alternative seating, but try and bag a booth if you can. The bar itself is large, and behind it is another large expanse of glazing where you can see through to the 'beer cellar' which is a great feature of the place. Fellow beer geeks will go nuts here. The table-top menus list copious bottled beers (mostly Belgian and American) with some priced at up to £40, so they're also catering for seekers of high quality and rarity. Their seven hand pumps and ten keg beer lines will be rotated frequently, with the choices on cards above the bar. They'll be open from 8am for hot drinks which will also be available for take away, before serving alcohol from noon. A beer destination in its own right; they're different and going to do very well here. Tip: Though their address is Spring Gardens, the entrance is on Brown Street.

    New on the Manchester bar scene. Not even a week old. 'Hidden' next to the Spring Gardens Post Office. I feel I have to point out as my mate from Leeds got lost the address says Spring Gardens but the bars entrance is actually found on Brown St. A great large cavern of a room, softened in feel by wooden frame walls between the booths which line the Brown St side windows. After a walk through the torrential downpours this last Saturday it was very pleasurable to sit in a booth and watch the maddening crowd of Christmas shoppers walk past the gigantic street facing windows in various states of dampness, whilst sitting happily drinking some very good beer. There are some traditional elements to the bar done out in a modern twist, contemporary brass fittings and splash back on the taps and hanging metal frames covered in hops. The beer selection was great, though I did notice a slight lack of local beers considering we have 40+ breweries in proximity to Manchester and they have 17 taps, 10 keg and 7 cask lines. Fantastic mix though, from fresh new world pales, some tarts sours, through to belgians, black IPA, porter and stout. A very good beer exploration bar which is clearly what the guys from Beermoth (outstanding bottle shop in NQ) were hoping for. Perhaps my favourite part of the bar, being a bit of a beer geek is the windows behind which show off the large cellar done out entirely in white tile. There is an extensive bottle list, some may balk at a few of the prices though. They also serve teas and coffees with NQ attention to detail. I didn't notice any bar snacks on the menu or behind the bar, hopefully these will appear because it's always nice to have some snacks about even if only in the nuts and crisps category. But with the addition of coffee/tea hopefully this might grow to pastries, sandwiches and charcuterie which would certainly be in line with the European beer cafe vibe they are going for.

    Cafe Beermoth is an excellent addition to Manchester. Having frequented Beermoth in the NQ on many occasion I always thought it would be well received if they were to open a bar, and it seems I was right. Situated down the back of Market Street, near the Post Office, this is a strange location for such a craft ale establishment but it works very well. A central location close to many businesses and the shopping district, just a little bit out of the way for the usual NQ hipster. On the night I visited I was astounded by the excellent array of beers on tap - Neil C. was over the moon. It is also very, very hipster. Beanie hats and beards galore, although that didn't put me off. It's a great bar with an excellent atmosphere. Fab.

    I've only been here once when I had been drinking all day so this might not be the most thorough review. However, from memory there was a large selection of beers on offer, all of which weren't too badly priced and what I tried was pretty decent. We had a cheese board to share between 3 of us, which cost about £8 and made me feel a fair bit better after the whole day drinking. The bar itself inside was pretty nice and I feel definitely return at some point when I'm feeling more up for it.

    Its difficult to rate Café Beermoth anything other than 5 stars. Just a few paces away from the frenzied activity of Market Street is this haven of beer. There are menus listing literally hundreds of bottled beers and a few wines. However, their speciality has got to be the draught ales of which there are at least 20 or so on offer. The friendly bar staff are happy to discuss options, and make recommendations and advise if like me, you're a little bewildered with too much choice. Beer is available in One third, Two thirds or full pint glasses. Having been here twice in the last week, the ambience can feel a little different depending on how busy it is. On a quiet Monday evening, it has quite a chilled feel, whereas on a busy Saturday evening it can be quite noisy. Comfortable seating is slightly limited. The cosy booths by the front windows are definitely the most popular seats and always seem to be the first to be taken. On my second visit, I sat in the small upstairs area, on an old church pew. Food options don't look too extensive, but the focus here is definitely on the beer!

    Bit late to the party on this one, though not approximately a year late as usual so I'd say I'm doing alright! Rich C, Sam H and I popped here after the recent GRUB Food Fair at Runaway Brewery for a nightcap. I love the space - so often beer-oriented places are more on the cosy and sometimes poky end of the spectrum, so it's great to have lots of clean open space. The best selection is, of course, awesome. It's priced as you would expect - some fairly cheap, many very reasonable, and some very expensive. I had half a Magic Rock Salty Kiss, and a half of a delicious saison that I've forgotten the name of. We also shared a cheeseboard which was very good and good value at around £8 if memory serves. You don't get a choice, just a selection of a soft, a blue and a vintage. This comes with loads of accompaniments including chutney, figs, caperberries, and mixed pickle which is so very uncool but so very awesome. There's no bread but lots of crackers. They do serve sandwiches so it might be possible to ask for it to come with bread. My only real complaint was the music. It was loud and it was very dancey/club type music. Although it was a Saturday night when I visited I was expecting a different vibe to other bars so some more mellow or at least quieter music would have been welcome.

Recently opened, the new restaurant is one of the few on First Street so it is quite easy to find. Obviously we took advantage of the January offer and judging by how busy it was on a Tuesday night, so did a lot of other people! Walking it the vibes were really good with great lounge music playing and people chatting away. The menu and drinks offerings seemed to be the same and prices very reasonable. We all knew what we wanted to have anyway- our favourite burger or pizzas! We started with a sharing platter which would probably suit 2 people more than 4, but everything on the board was cooked perfectly. We especially liked the spicy mayonaise as it had a good kick to it. I really liked the burger- big thick and juicy with accompaniments to match and we ordered 1more mac and cheese to share halfway through our meal cos we couldn't get enough of it! The staff were really friendly and bubbly which made the night an even better experience. We sat on the outside tables, so you might want to watch out for the heaters, as they are really hot! I must say, I was very impressed with this restaurant, and dare I say it, as good as the original!

    Magical? Chemical?…read more The alchemist is not only a nice surrounding to sit in but the service and food are great and delicious. When we checked in and were asked if there were any allergies we made jokes about my husband's allergy to cinnamon - that we would not need to worry about out it before desert. We ordered a few items from the menu - which is a very delicious mix of classics with some twists (tempura fried fish and chips for example). Order was taken and a couple minutes later the manager came and said "I am sorry - but the sauce to the fish contains a bit of cinnamon" wow! We change the order of course and the manager came back to the table asking if we would be worried about cross termination. We have been not and everything went well after that. Great service. The food itself plays with the alchemist theme for example the chorizo meatballs come with a syringe to inject your own amount of cheese (what you think? Yes of course o injected the whole Syringe into the little delicious meatball duhh). The menu consist of a lot of small items which makes me so happy since I can have so many bites of different things and at the alchemist they are all worth it! And of course classics like burger, salads and sandwiches alongside their mains. The menu is not too big but literally has something for everyone. You have to try the crispy pork skins! After we had been told that the crispy fish contains cinnamon my husband learned they offer their "chicken in a basket" as a vegetarian version as well and that is what he got. Damn that is so good: A bed of chips (fries for our American friends) are surrounded by one of the best coleslaw I had in a long time (almost as good as Guy Fieri's if not even better) then slightly pan seared onions and peppers layer on top of the fries. Ready to be mixed in. Then of course a generous amount of chicken or in this case plant based chicken smothered in a sweet chili sauce. Not to forgot to mention that it came with an extra little bowl of dipping sauce. Delicious! We also had a mocktail which name I might not be allowed to recite here let's named it "virgin adult film star" what a perfect combination of fruit, creme and sweetness. Yummmmmm To end the night I had coffee and Choclate - any serving of coffee comes with a set of three pralines. What a way to end the night at the alchemist.

After a quick introduction to the charming prince, we were taken through a tale of the dizzying history of his family and their ties to the production of Kaltenberg, which is now brewed under licence and distributed by the award-winning Lancashire brewer, Thwaites. As Prince Luitpold explained, the company much prefers to set up local production of their fine ales to ensure the quality and freshness of the brews. Operations are expanding to Ukraine and Asia next year. We progressed through a wide variety of brews, each one getting a little bit darker and a little bit stronger. Before each tasting, the Prince imparted his considerable knowledge of the brewing process and flavour profile of the lagers and beers, including their impressive ABV%. In true Bavarian style, guests feasted on magnificent frankfurters the size of cricket bats in a bun (exaggeration but you get the point). After the tasting, the charming Prince fielded relevant questions about the brand, as well as the odd reference to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (don't ask).
