“ I recently visited Blues Kitchen Manchester on a Monday evening while in town on a business trip with colleagues. As a regular at the Shoreditch and Camden venues, I had high expectations and I’m happy to say the Manchester team absolutely lived up to them. The food was on point, the service impressively quick, and the overall vibe of the place was buzzing for a Monday, on a cold windy night up north! It was great to see the venue full and lively, adding to the atmosphere. Special thanks to the on-site manager, who handled a small issue with professionalism and fairness a real credit to the team. Looking forward to coming back soon! ”

“ Great place, only popped in for a quick snack. Had a couple of drinks and shared a plate of chicken wings, a bit spicy for me (not a chilli person). If you want a meal best to book first. ”

“ Great service! Barrel beer can flat twice but something must have been wrong with the pump. Didn’t charge so all good. Wings to start were ok, nothing extraordinary not special. Quite think on the meat. Tina tostadas were great as usual. Chopped salad was fab. Fried chicken , gravy and fries again were maybe not different to a middle ground chicken shop. A lot of batter, minimal chicken. Gravy was cold and chips tasted like they had been half fried, then re fried. Hard and not crispy. Service was excellent as usual. ”

“ What a great place! Every table was taken, so shows its popularity. Even though it was busy it was well staffed and run really well by attentive and friendly staff . The decor and the feel of the place was a definite vibe. We ate there but there was also seating at the front for drinks only. The food was nice enough. ( We had chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger)No complaints. Would definitely recommend and would return as we just loved the feel of the place. We weren’t there when the live music was on but there was a stage where they regularly have people playing. ”

“ Honestly, such a great experience! We came here for some food before the Cuban salsa night and we didn’t expect much. We had such a great time and the food/drinks were bang on. Great orange wine, espresso martini and more. Special thanks for Freya that looked after us in the restaurant who was super friendly and a great hostess! And to Will upstairs in the concert area who was great behind the bar. Will 100% be back! Even the security were really friendly which is refreshing. Such a fun venue and one of the best nights I’ve had out in ages. ”

“ So I was in Town to pick up my Wife from a business trip in Oxford and she decided she wanted to go out for tea so after abit of uncertainty we decided to head to The Blues Kitchen as my Wife had wanted to go for ages. So we didn't book and just turned up we parked up round the corner(As parking is limited around Quay Street) we were warmly greeted by a hostess who seated us in a booth and after a few minutes the waitress came and took our drinks order so I opted for a pint of Lager and my Wife opted for a glass of pint Noir. Drinks arrived well presented, crisp and went down a treat shortly after a waitress brought us a jug of Ice water for the table so then several minutes later the waitress came and took our food my Wife wasn't starving but fancied something to eat so she opted for a large portion of Buffalo Chicken Wings with a blue dip sauce and I ordered the fried Chicken fries and gravy. We had to wait several minutes for the food but my God was it worth it, I have never tasted Chicken so good in my life, Honestly the chicken was amazing, decent portion size, The chicken was tender, juicy and the flavours were out of this world , The fries and gravy were also very tasty. My Wife really enjoyed her Buffalo Chicken wings with blue cheese sauce again they were spicy yet tender and so juicy and succulent, We both cleaned our plates and decided to order another round of drinks I opted for a Mojito cocktail and my Wife opted for a double baileys over ice . Service was great, polite and friendly staff, Excellent drinks, Limited food menu but the Chicken is absolutely amazing, Restaurants was spotlessly clean, Quirky interior as the restaurant used to be a eye hospital back in the Olden days, Drinks ranging from non alcoholic to cocktails to beers to spirits to soft drinks etc. Bill was 75 but we rounded it up to 90, The restaurant has live music most nights and fantastic experience and we will definitely be back. 5 5 5 5 5 ”

“ The food is delicious! Quite pricey, so good to go now and again. Staff are always very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is nice. There are no windows, so it can be disorienting going from sitting in darkness to going back outside on a sunny day. Overall 100 recommend. Saw a night of Sade as well here recently in the upstairs venue and that was great! Wish there would have been chairs, as it was a long night, but amazing nonetheless. ”

“ I organised my leaving do at Blues Kitchen. Because we were a big group (20 people or so), I got in touch to see if I could reserve a space. They let me book the Concert Hall for free and then we reserved a private room for karaoke. It goes without saying that I had the best leaving do I could've possibly asked for. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere cosy and chill. A member of the staff was in charge of looking after us all night and in general the staff was very kind and helpful and always trying to accommodate our requests. They even let us use the karaoke space beyond the booked time, as the group who booked after us didn't show up, with no extra charge. Everything went perfectly and everyone was happy with the choice of the place, but, most importantly, had fun. Thanks for making my leaving do so special, I would definitely come back for future events! ”
