    I agree with Emma-Louise on this one, it's not one of the best bars in Manchester. But their happy hour is one of the best bar promotions in Manchester! I love 2-4-1 cocktails in bars, it's just great. Most people see 2-4-1 as in you both get a drink and split the cost, not me and my friends! To us it means you get the cocktail you want that you know you like AND you get the cocktail you've always wanted to try but you might not like. Lime's menu has lots of cocktails like this including Death by Chocolate and Midnight Love, now two of my firm favourites. Of course this promotion also means you get drunk twice as fast and spend half the money you normally spend! Good times! I've never been to Sublime (although I agree the name is very clever) so I don't know how good it is for a club night but it's never really come to mind to go there, it's only purpose to me is the 2-4-1 promotion!

    Ordered a Sunday roast. Had the beef. And a chocolate brownie for pud. For 11 quid is great value (and only 3 quid extra for the pud). Service is top notch. Although the vegetable selection could be a bit more varied. Nice touch with the cauliflower cheese, and didn't skimp on the gravy which is always good.

    Returned to Lime before a theatre visit and, although I wasn't as impressed as last time, it was a fine visit. It was a fair bit quieter on this occasion as there was only rugby and one European, non-league football game on, meaning many of the big screens were turned off. We didn't want to eat too much before going into a dark room, so just went for mains; I had the chilli burger and the boyf went for the chicken burger. In hindsight, we should've gone for the Mexican platter as it seems to be the best thing on the menu (why they don't sell these things separately I don't know...) My burger bun was a disappointing seeded thing which was slightly cold to the touch, and there was barely a scraping of the house chilli. Being on a time limit, we couldn't really complain and wait for a fresher version, so ate it anyway. The overall flavour and texture wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I was expecting. Served up on a plate with some chunky chips, it wasn't exactly inspiring to look at either - the wooden board the chicken burger came on was much more inviting, as was his ciabatta style bun. Definitely just an a-ok experience.

    The Lime is one of those bars that is neither here nor there. When we went we stayed there for not longer than five minutes. Nothing stood out, nothing grabbed us and to be quite honest this place was highly forgettable. The only reason that bars like this manage to exist is the places they are situated. The Lime can be found in the Lowry Outlet and has little if any competition in terms of other bars. Its only worry is the bar in the Lowry Theatre that is mega expensive ...but I would argue worth the money in comparison. Its a case of the best of bad bunch.

    Great place to eat and drink. Good atmosphere and just over the way from the Lowry theatre so ideal for pre theatre food and drinks.

    I have a sore head. It's not good but it's the price you pay for a great night out. Ruby Lounge…read moretotally exceeded expectations. Me, planning, making a decision is a rare thing. My suggestion was actually a hit. I did my indecisive alterego very proud. There are many quality club nights organised by the Lost and Found name and this was no exception. Dance off, being £1 entry, sold it for me. Doubles for £3, a range of sambucas £1.50? Messy. Dance off saw a battle between three major DJs, strangerways, good vibrations and juicy DJs playing a mix of Joy Division, The Temptations and Dr Dre. Amazing combination. Ruby Lounge is renown for it's quality club nights and live music. The venue is perfect, with an adequate dance floor, a stage to match and plenty of seating on a slightly raised level for a chill out. Another great Northern Quarter location that needs to become a regular thing for me.

    I think this might be a strip club. In fact I'm pretty sure. Well, it wasn't when I was in the Ruby…read moreLounge last night for a Lost and Found gig which is why I felt comfortable to take my boyf in with me. The gig was billed as The Cribs Aftershow but it was basically just a gig- most of the spectators were either in one of the four bands, looked like they should be or were girl groupies who were way too impressed with themselves that they were getting backstage. The sofas and high backed armchairs in the main bar area were nice touches, there were a few mirror balls around too. Plus velvet curtains - hello, strip club? Then you turn to the grimy stage area with the big grill up between the bands and the crowd. That said, no one went past the pillar anyway. Too cool to stand right at the front. Alright drinks prices - get some of their cheap vodka mixers or flavoured sambucas otherwise you'll run out of money quickly. After the bands they had Gareth Brooks from Xfm DJIng but we didn't end up staying.

    I've been here a few times for drinks and a couple of times for foods. To drink there is a decent…read moreselection of beers and some very reasonably priced cocktails. I had a wide range of them and found all to be very good for the price. Last time I went for food we went for lunch and we both got sandwiches served on flatbreads. Mine was a butternut squash, re-fried beans and mozzarella creation. It was pretty nice and came wth some very tasty wedges. The meal itself was very filling and large for a sandwich (not that I'm complaining about too much food..we just had planned to get takeaway later on and didn't realise how big they were) Overall I would say this place is good not great. I prefer it as a place to drink but that's my opinion (and preference for eating greasy burgers). I will be going here again at some point, probably next time I feel like a few cocktails.

    After visiting for food I definitely have to write another review, upping my previous 3-star rating…read moreto 4. The lack of an extra star doesn't denote anything wrong with this place, rather that I just don't like it quite as much as my 5-star Chorlton faves. We crawled along with slight hangovers at about 11am to get some breakfast. When we went to order we were immediately told that it would be a 30 minute wait due to a large party having just ordered. This didn't bother us so we ordered coffee and orange juice and settled in. The food turned up a lot sooner than expected. I had eggs baked in a clay pot with flat bread and he had a full English. Mine was excellent, great for something a little bit different than usual breakfast options. The runny yolks sealed the deal. I'd love to head back soon to try the non-breakfast options (and perhaps some more of the beer and cocktails).

So...I would not have picked this place as my first choice as a spot to work off a hangover. It had too many clean lines. I was wanting something old, dark, traditional, dark, quiet-ish and dark. So it was dark but in no way traditional. None-the-less there was indeed a Bloody Mary Special so all went well. It was a special that included an English breakfast. Between the Bloody Mary the hearty eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns and so on...I left in far better shape than I arrived. That was the extend of my experience- which seems a shame as there is a lot to do here (billiards, terrace- karaoke - they told us). I don't know that I would say this will become me Sunday recovery go-to place, but I will likely return and check it out under different circumstances.

    I came along to Blackdog Ballroom as my friends +1 for their launch of their new cocktail…read moremasterclasses. They launched three new variants - studio 54, all cocktails popularised in the 70's, Mexican/tiki themed cocktails and my personal favourite Prohibition. I had cocktails st Blackdog quite a few times and they never disappoint and these be additions to menu are very welcome in my opinion. We had some rather fantastic Manhattens, Sazeracs, and a New York sour -the standout drink for me. A traditional whisky sour topped with red wine, sounds crazy but it's fantastic. Next time I'm looking for somewhere to drink cocktails and chat to some very knowledgeable mixologists I'll be popping along here.

Where was this place all along my whole trip? I wish we would have found them sooner because I would have gone ham on the menu and drinks lol. First and foremost the ambience is amazing here and the decor is absolutely beautiful. This place would be great for cocktails with the girls or a date night. The restaurant is the Media City location and located off the water in Salford so that already creates a whole ambience and vibe. The staff was super friendly, and we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was also very helpful and patient with us. Along with that, she was knowledgeable about the drinks and definitely put on a show when making them. This made for an overall great experience! There's such a wide variety of cocktails to choose from, as I literally wanted everything on the menu lol. I decided to go for the hipflask margarita as I love me some tequila and margaritas, and this drink did not disappoint! It wasn't what I was expecting as a margarita, like I'd get in the states, but it was delicious. On top of that it comes in a super cool hipflask that you get to take home with you, and if you come back I believe the bartender said you could get £5.50 off of it each time you bring it back. I'm not quite sure what my aunt got as she told the bartender to just make her a strong drink but it was super cool and came with a cool bubbly effect. There was also a syringe shooter that came with this drink. I tried that one as well and it was another great cocktail. The other cocktail we ordered was the raspberry ripple and again that was great. And I'll be honest I was hesitant about the buttermilk chicken, but I was pleasantly surprised, and that chicken was so good along with the salt and pepper fries. I needed another order that for myself lol. If you're ever in Salford, you should check them out! I love their whole concept behind their drinks, and it's a whole vibe. I know they will definitely be first on my list to hit up when I go back as I'd love to try some more of their drinks.
