Ok so I think may need to remortgage the house if I was to hangout here every day but as a special treat (or weekly indulgence to enjoy life ;-)) it's worth it. We went for the oak and rare flights with 3 glasses each for less than £20 each - perfect for an aperitif before dinner next door at Norse. The staff were super friendly, professional and knowledgable. At first I did think this is the worst name I'd ever heard for a place since Ned Flanders 'Leftorium' - but it really grew on me the more I've thought about it. Maybe because the experience was so nice and chilled out - it could be called anything!

Everyone also knows that I'm a cheapskate but I thought the tasting flights were super reasonable and very generous at £12 for 3.

Despite it being reasonably small and rather difficult to get a drink at times, there is a great atmosphere in Mollies!

With a large dance floor, and a pool table it is difficult to become bored in Mollies! Though if it does get too much for you, there is the walk through which takes you straight into Olivers which is a bit more relaxed over the weekend!

There's a nice, but small, outside patio area which is useful in the summer, and a good selection of drinks behind the bar. In recent years Mollies Bar has opened at the back of Olivers for Friday and Saturday night dancing and this has changed the vibe of the place a bit, I think - it's pulling in a younger crowd and can be a bit more noisy and jostly. I think Olivers now competes with Kais in the wine bar plus dancing stakes, and it does well.

Was pretty excited on the night too, so excited I left my card in the wine machine which made me look like a total amateur. It's much more spacious inside than I had realised, and there are also seats and heaters outside with a great view of the nearby row of traditional pubs with the town hall in the background. I enjoyed trying the various wines (the smallest amount is often £2-3 so you can try a good four wines on a £10 card pre-payment) and could even tell that some of them tasted different, so am basically going to be earning my MW in no time. They also do a few little snacks - my fave baba ghanoush and some rather tasty crisps, although the brown olives tasted too sour for me. Tap water came chilled in a delightful glass bottle. Btw I am not sure there are actually other drinks options here, maybe check that before you go. The staff were efficient and welcoming and I am sure I will be back here. A great companion to hanging ditch and Bakerie in terms of our city's wine bar scene.

Although I now work for an independent wine merchant in Didsbury and am considered a bit of a fussy geek by my friends, I have longed for a good wine bar in Manchester pretty much since I arrived in town over 6 years ago, well before wine was a big thing for me. A few places have attempted it, half-heartedly for some, but none had so far succeeded. Then came Salut wines, first baby business of a lovely couple who like me love good wine and thought it deserved proper representation in the City Centre. An ambitious project that was, not without hurdles. But tenacity paid off and behold, a superb, clean, warm and welcoming wine bar where odd ins once was. Enomatic machines a-go-go, 32 wines are available by the glass at any point in (opening) time. That's 16 whites and rosés and 16 reds. Thanks to these machines you can enjoy a vast variety of wines, all of which are way above your house plonk from most pubs/bars/restaurant. And that's not all. 3 measures are available: 50ml, 125ml and 175 ml. The first one is my favourite. I can play to my heart's content and try a lot of wine before it's time to call it a day. Most wines are between £1.20 and £5 for a glass but you can also try some of the fancier stuff that would NEVER be available by the glass otherwise. Risk-free. Whilst they do not cater, a range of nibbles and tapas plates are available and it's perfectly suitable for a light lunch or diner. Cheese, cured meats and Mediterranean veggie plates, all made with very good ingredients. Music is top notch, not your average lounge "elevator" type nor your bass-boosted frenzy. Blues, jazz, pop, electro... To sum-up, great atmosphere, best wine selection in town, excellent service. The bottle prices to take away are on the steep side of I'm honest but I'll put that down as the location.

It's a classic real ale pub with a firm live music policy, and although the seating is extremely modest, that doesn't stop folk from packing in here on a Wednesday or Friday night to sink a few pints and soak in the sounds. The staff have always been fantastic and the drinks were alway reasonably cheap. They've a small array of outside seating and being located so close to the train station it's an ideal spot for those hoping to indulge in a few before catching the last train back to Leeds, as I always was, or those looking for a decent pint after stepping off the train. Although the pub isn't managed by the same folk as when I used to frequent here, it seems like it's still a prime spot for those after a more low-key and friendly atmosphere. There's not much else to it, except great pints and fabulous music. I'm surely biased as I've always had such a great time here, but I doubt it can have changed that much over the years. Watch out for Peculiar Blue, Dr Blue and The Welsh T Band amongst other solid local favourites!

I can see why - it's got something of a Mediterranean vibe to it, with a little patio out the front, from which the sea is just about visible, and inside it's tiled, with a long hall style area and a few tables near the bar. It has its own brewery, as the owner is something of a beer geek apparently, and there's plenty of good spirits, good real ales, and a range of lagers to sup. Come the weekend it can become a bit of a squeeze, but unlike some places, this seemed to add to the atmosphere, which was by and large rather jovial. It even has a back entrance that makes you feel like you're stepping in (or out) of some kind of secret bar. I am a fan.
