O. A.

This place is a gem located on Portland Street. We went in for lunch while waiting for our bus out of Manchester. The ambience connotes coziness. It is very large spaced area with several games to play which is ideal for parents with children. There are several smaller sitting areas/corners to choose from. They do 2 4 1 cocktails and also sharing platters. The food I found very tasty as well. Toilets are upstairs and it was pretty decent. All in all, very good value for your money.

M. N.

This is in a great location Portland Street lots of TV Screens to watch the sports on My Group went in on a Saturday Afternoon just After 12 midday and was looking forward to getting something to eat. When we ask at the bar . was told by a member of bar staff that they was not serving food .when I asked way was told they had run out of plates . Well May I suggest that you get someone to move the dirty plates off the tables it was not overly busy when we walked in .

A. P.

😊Staff very helpful, and the sub sandwiches were tasty 👍... 💕 xxxThe Gad Abouts No1 & 2

A great pub with great food, ambience and drinks at a great convenient location.

E. H.

Me and my wife came here for some food with some reputational skepticism. However we were both absolutely delighted with our experience. We were served at the bar by a young lad named Oliver who provided us excellent, friendly service. Highly recommended

A. P.

We ordered food and a drink before heading to a gig on Weds. night. We went in there because we thought being fairly no frills it should be fairly quick and hassle free.. firstly, the app is ridiculous. We had to download it and it seemed.to take an age to work through the ordering and paying.. Obviously, that is not the fault of this particular bar, but that set the mood for our experience. Having finally ordered and paid, we waited for drinks.. and waited. After 20 mins, my friend went to the really busy bar to ask about them (she also only saw one person working behind it to begin with, so no wonder there was a long queue to even speak to someone). The staff member she spoke to told her that the ticket with our drinks order on hadn't printed off. The ones for customers before us and after us had though.. strange! Good job we asked!! When the food arrived, it was okay. Fairly small, quite dry chicken breast. The menu said choose a sauce. It looked like a Borrowers spoon had been used to measure it with!! It was okay and we ate it as we had no choice and were running out of time by then. We regretted going there as an easy/quick option though. The staff members we encountered were all friendly I must say. I'd only go again if I was willing to wait in line and order in person and if it was for drinks only. I'd give the food a miss.

K. W.

Very good food and drink but the place is screeming for some maintenance. Half of tables rocks and waves. Outside benches and walls looks like stuck in 80s. Customer service is great compensating part of experience.

S. M.

Left my purse here and drove home over an hour away. Called when I realised and the staff were so helpful finding it and making sure it was in their safe until I could collect. Thanks again

K. M.

Visited Yates' recently at the weekend and it was an OK visit. The drinks are very reasonably priced for Manchester however the cocktails are quite watered down. The table we sat at was dirty and had lots of empty glasses on it, despite not looking very busy at all.

R. K.

Great place. Conveniently located. Nice selection of drinks and polite staff. Just not sure I like the idea of where their lavatories are located in the building.

C. T.

Had a fabulous full English breakfast after coming down the precious night to see The Charlatans at #NewCentury So I left my hotel and was hungry and at 11.45am I came across Yates - A Talll Order ' and the 4 female members of staff were so helpful, bubbly and warm. I had a great full English and one if the ladies told me what a hash brown was and I tried it and it was nice. I was asking if they served haggis and they confirmed they didn't. I asked if Demi had ever tried haggis and she stated she had not and was not totally likely to despite my protests on behalf of haggis lol. So 10/10 and for the bosses / management - I would have about turned and went elsewhere if your staff not been courteous and friendly but they were fantastic abd they are a credit to your organisation. ( They deserve a bonus !! ) Demi, Rebekah and I'm sorry I cannot remember the other 2 staff names from Friday 23rd September 2022 at 11.45am - they done you Proud. So thanks to the lovely staff. I'll be back next time I'm down to watch City. 10/10 meal- EXCELLENT !!!!

g. r.

Had a really nice time here. Food and drinks were great and service from Harry was brilliant, he made us feel very welcome! Would definitely recommend

K. T.

Because of China Town and massive streets that got a 5 stars from me. A long wide open space pavement is perfect for Civilians because we all need some space and alittle fresh air since its crowded in most areas.

D. L.

Lovely food. I had the Nacho's and it appears there is less salsa and jalapenos on the meal. Hubby had the chicken wings and thoroughly enjoyed them. Drinks are fine.beed to wipe tables as a little sticky. X

B. D.

Came last night for a few drinks and was served by Harry, was very polite and an absolute credit to the bar. Was more happy to recommend a drink to me too, I would definitely recommend a visit here and will be back in the near future!

M. W.

Had a great few drinks at Yates’. Cracking flags out, complimented by the server Harry. Nice lad, good service, rate all highly.

P. S.

Big up to Royce? I think that's how you spell it. Came with a few mates for my birthday. Great laugh with the staff and punters. Drinks ok for town location. 👌 clean and tidy.

I. W.

First place I ever went to in Manchester, and I was pleasantly surprised. Food and drinks are very cheap considering how good the food and drink options are and how great the food is. The place looks great, and the staff were super helpful and friendly, suggesting some cool places around the city. Beautiful food.

A. T.

My wife and I took our daughter to Manchester for her to get a feel for the nightlife with her boyfriend before she goes to University there. Great atmosphere in this pub good value for money with the dtinks

M.

Food was great and staff really helpful and friendly .Pete is a great guy always happy to help

l. w.

Not been in for years still the same. Atmosphere good but they had ran out of wine (the 1 like) so the barman (who was lovely and very helpful) suggested ghe house wine. Which at 1st wasn't very impressed with that. However, it was really nice and we stayed in to enjoy another 3 glasses hahaha. Defo be going back in.

G. K.

Visited on Tuesday and stayed for a couple of hours. I had some work to do and I set up in a nice big booth. Staff were great, ordered food which came quickly and was nice.

D. M.

Was quiet when we went in. Maybe not the place for people of my age group. 50+. Might be better atmosphere on weekends etc.

L. T.

Drinks were great but a little pricey, however oliver who served us was lovely and had great service. Will definitely be coming back :)

C. W.

One of my favourite spots in Manchester, Harry had excellent customer service which I find makes a venue feel so much more welcoming

J. 1.

It's just a Yates, not really for my liking but popular and quite busy. If you're passing by, pop in.

S. K.

Popped in to watch the ladies football, it was good started slow then buzzing by the end staff good and attentive and we made new frieds

R. H.

Got served by Oliver and had a great experience, had a few drinks and found it a really nice place to have a drink

J. H.

Really nice atmosphere in the pub, we had came from Glasgow for a few night and we spent 2/4 nights in here was amazing and cheap! Staff where so friendly too, especially Ashley. 10/10

S. I.

Fantastic night, MJ was so lovely and was so happy whilst serving us. Really made our night :)

P. B.

Bust, decent crowd. Good sport on tvs. Nice staff. Standard Yates.

b. s.

Been all over Manchester, and I’ve got to say Yates had the best music of the night (Thankyou Mr DJ)! Best night ever! 😀

J. P.

Served quickly even on the final day of the football season with the Great Manchester run on ..... well done to the staff who never stopped, also was still clean which was a miracle

V. H.

nice bar one member of staff was a little abrubt but rest wee great loads of screens for football etc

L. D.

The place was loud that was good the drinks was ok but the place needs cleaning from top to bottom came out felling i needed a shower what a shame promising but needs to clean up it's act . We visited on Saturday beteen 1 and 2 in the afternoon.

A. B.

Convenient from getting off a bus at the coach station, offers food and drinks for a good price. Staff where friendly.

N. R.

Nice place for a drink and the food was really good.

M.

Came in after a day out in Manchester and had a blast, harry was an excellent host and made us feel welcomed!

J. F.

Excellent service thanks to Harry. He made my experience very enjoyable and was extremely welcoming

G. P.

Good pub but not very clean. The staff wasn't very attentive. Food undercooked.

B. J.

Love the atmosphere and the food was spot on. Really appreciate the help from Ollie with our drinks!

A. H.

Great bar but a tad more outdoor space would be nice. Fair trek upstairs to the loo

M. J.

Great service last night from MJ, my first time in Manchester and I had a great nice. Music was great too

L. H.

Loved going back . Not been in since before lockdown . Keep up the good work guys

l. a.

Great food and drinks, such a vibe! things were made easier thanks to oliver who helped us order !

T. H.

The only Yates left in Manchester. Undergone a recent refurbishment this is a great place to meet up. Can get very busy at weekends but the staff are fast at serving and friendly. Definitely recommend for the start of a night out .

H. T.

Just left after a lovely meal this afternoon. I was greeted warmly by Sara as I arrived, she explained the ordering procedure to me and even suggested a comfy table I could take. I ordered my food through the app, (lazy, I know!) and I was again served by Sara, who took the time to make sure I had all I needed! My tikka masala was lovely and piping hot, exactly what I needed today! I stayed for one more pint of the doom bar before making my way out, with a cheerful thanks and goodbye! Lovely staff and food, can't knock it at all! (SS)

P. W.

great overall service, the food and drinks came fast and good customer service by Oliver

A. S.

Brilliant food and drinks, incredible service from young chap called Harry, would recommend

C. A.

Lovely bar and great service by Harry, highly recommend to anyone in the area to go visit!

E. A.

lovely place, would return again. young fella Harry was so welcoming and and a credit to your place of work

W. G. (.

Always dark in here, not like the photo where its bright and airy. Good place to watch football. Good service and food. Beer nice and cold. Tables could be cleared and wiped down quicker otherwise a good drinking place and good for groups. Would recommend.

K. m. W.

It was early when we arrived and football was on. Atmosphere was good. Staff were friendly enough.

A. M.

The food is delicious 😋 the staff are very welcoming i would highly recommend Yates

S. K.

Great food and brilliant service from Peter

H. D.

Had a great time, made us feel very welcome. Got served by Harry Lucas

G. P.

Had a lovely breakfast here after checking out from a nearby hotel.

D.

Pleasenly suprised at how upmarket yates has gone, and reasonable bar prices. Thumbs up on this one

K. C.

Great sharing plates

J. J.

Great bar, highly recommend going, the atmosphere is quite nice and the staff are super friendly.

E. R.

Had a great time, good atmosphere and excellent service from Harry.

F. D.

Great bar and excellent service from Oli. Will be back.

S. M.

Wasn't as stocked as we would of liked for a Saturday afternoon, food and drinks wise

G. K.

Didn't get the the table we reserved which was annoying. You pay a deposit to do so then get shoved to the back corner!

J. D.

Excellent service from Harry last night. Very polite and speedy service.

H. B.

Visited Yates and it was quiet. Ordered coffees. Well served and quick. Decided to have some hash browns. Very nicely done. Good value for what we had, staff were happy and very accommodating. Not sure what the place is like when busy, but looks kitted out for busy nights. A disabled toilet on ground floor, however usual bathrooms are three floors up (can't get lost as it is only a staircase to the third floor).

S. B.

Bog standard venue with very little to make it worth a visit. Was surprised how costly it seemed as well for a generic stock bar. Certainly far better places in the vicinity to visit to relax and unwind for a drink or bite to eat. On the plus side, there are big screens with Sky Sports (and news) on.

m.

Plenty of choice drinks and food wise! All round great experience!

M. R.

Great bar, nice cocktails, amazing service especially from oliver

Z. Z.

Cheerful atmosphere but lacks order inside.

S. R.

Party central. Place is aways busy. Great value menu.

N. J.

Waiting time was to long and we had to chase up our drinks by Waiting at the bar after doing table service

J. L.

Great time really enjoyed, was served by harry great service

i. a.

Spacious Public house. Excellent if you like to watch sports, mainly football.

A. B.

I love Yates!!! Whether during the day, or at night, it's a great place to stop off. It's always busy, and they offer a varied menu, and the food is OK. They did have to briefly stop serving food due to staff shortages, but they were communicated well when they were able to start taking orders again. If you're looking for somewhere to have a little dance, they do have a DJ at night, and there's a small dance floor......so gets full very quickly!! Always a favourite place of mine when I'm in the area.

k. A.

Just called in for a coffee with two others whilst we were waiting for a friend. Lovely greeting from male staff member. Hand sanitiser available as was track and trace. Order taken at the table, very quick service, Lovely coffee. Very nice ambiance, clean pleasant surroundings , clean toilets. When the bill arrived I thought it was a mistake..... So Cheap!!! This was our first visit and we would definitely recommend and return.

P. G.

Once the home of the Blob, with charachter and charachters to match. Now just a pub chain, not a bad one, but nothing to separate it from all the others. Polite staff and quick service, but places that have to have 2 or 3 doormen on duty puts me off any establishment.

S. W.

Food was ok. Bit awkward as the bar staff were arguing amongst themselves which affected the quality of service.

L. S.

Good food. Had an issue with billing sorted immediately and without fault. Very much enjoyed my meal. I think everyone would be surprised by how good the food is, considering the price. A wide range of things to drink.

L. P.

Cheap drinks. Friendly staff. Wheelchair accessible

J. E.

Went there before the match. Often do. It’s a good pre football get together pub. Plenty of screens showing the football. Cheap beer. Plenty of space. No away fans which is a good thing

L. D.

Nice pub that was close to our hotel altho had an issue with them not serving my partner after 4 drinks 😡 for no good reason

t. m.

Food not all available. Half the menu was available.

L. R.

Lovely beer and great service by Timm. Cheered me up after such a miserable day with brilliant, vibrant serving skills and patter. Will be back soon! (TW)

g. M.

I have only been in the morning, when they have a breakfast menu on. Good variety being served although if like us you are going before a coach tour, leave plenty time as there was not many serving staff and did take a while to get your order.

E. J.

Best bar in the city and the music is top class Eilidh x

S. G.

Had a good time there with the girlfriend , good choice on the menu and reasonably priced drinks , friendly staff and great service from Hannah , will be back soon .

H. M.

lovely bar and restaurant, ollie was exceptionally present and helpful

A. B.

Called in with a bunch of work friends to have a social pint decor within seemed to be ok. The Booth we sat in someone has managed to peel all the fake leather off the seat and it was rather disgusting with a stains It left behind from spilt drinks or that's what I'm thinking the stains was. Average pint price for the area average beer for the area

P. A.

The barmaids where so nice and pleasant, considering that there was long queues to be served, and such a good atmosphere, and even the bouncer on the door was very nice! I will most certainly look forward to visiting again! Thank You

J. 5.

Nice enough place inside but bought a pint and the glass was dirty put me off drinking it . . Said to the girl who poured the rest of my pint into a different glass another dirty one . . I said cud you change this again this glass is dirty also . . So 3rd time unlucky lol but the 3rd glass was the cleaner of the 3 so I didn't keep on because I realised most of their glasses must not be cleaned properly.

k. k.

Had a fab evening with friends here at Yates Manchester, Great food, great service and amazing atmosphere, can’t wait to come back!

c. j.

Great night out. Excellent atmosphere and the service was fantastic. I would definitely recommend.

M. D.

Brilliant pub great atmosphere food was excellent a couple of good nights in there.

C. T.

It's OK. Their menu choice isn't brilliant.

N. B.

Decent pub quality food. Fast delivery

B. W.

Love the food!

M. M.

Just called in for a pint with my friend whilst exploring the city, the pint was nice we didn't try the food. Bar staff very friendly and helpful, the place seemed clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. Would visit again when I'm in Manchester.

M. G.

Had a really great meal here, was very quick service despite being busy. Everything piping hot, can highly recommend the Cod and chips!

C. W.

Brilliant place. Great staff especially Rhys Applebee :)

J. B.

Nice quiet place. I visited during the day for a bite to eat. Was a nice welcome place. Food and drink was ordered using the app, but took a rather long time to come. The staff were very apologetic though, so no issie with that. The place just feels rather lackluster though, missing a spark like other places.

J. P.

Our hotel is located near here and we’ve come for an evening meal and breakfast. Super convenient with its location and service is great. Great if you want something quick to eat

L. A.

Yates nice but the food was very average. Sorry, maybe just a bad day but won't be returning for food

A. T.

Good beer

B. K.

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff what more could you want!

C. K.

various menus depends on the day and time, and also good location(less than a minute from the coach station)

J. L.

Nice pub but too small for the amount of people it let's in

T. D.

Fab evening with my work colleagues and Tim is an amazing member of staff, funny, proffesional and attentive. Thanks for making our night 😊

S. B.

Very good a fast service from Oliver and colleagues

B. M.

Sat in here for the Man U/Chelsea match. Was crowded and the table stayed dirty for awhile. Service was a little slow, but it was all good.

K.

Half of the menu was missing, wanted a coctail, only had left like a choice of 3 and didn't have a straw.. Bad day I guess.. Food was alright for the price tho

M. M.

Really decent bar staff but also they have some really alert/helpful bouncers working here. Watched them prevent 2 guys trying to harass the same girl within the space of an hour and they handled it professionally.

P. H.

Like to say Very Big Thank You to the staff at Yates impressed with excellent service like to highly recommended place to go like to mention the professional security staff doing excellent work as i come from Grimsby N.E.Lincolnshire with my friends we just been to a concert to see Amy Mcdonald so like to say Very Big Thank You once again from Biggest Party Goer in Cleethorpes from Party Paul check me out on Grimsby Live.

J. F.

Excellent value and great friendly staff.

G. K.

Looks of town are great. But like in every downtown there are lots of rubbish and graffiti on walls nightclubs in weird places. Prices high

S. P. M.

Came in whilst waiting for my coach and had a great natter with Timm whilst I supped my pint! Lovely staff, great location TW

R. H.

Smashing place for a drink with friends, great service and everytime I've visited, it's been a clean and tidy environment. Props to the staff for their diligence and friendliness amongst the pandemic, thank you!

P. K.

Good manager he sorted out my issue with a refund from a fruit machine swiftly and apart from that staff in general are friendly and the food good

j. m.

I came here last week and I was greeted and serviced by a lovely man GC .I will definitely be back brilliant services

D. H.

Lovely place for a quite afternoon drink

J. W.

Nice food but a bit pricey. Great staff and atmosphere but the cocktails were drab and disappointing.

C. R.

Fantastic place to dine at. Staff were friendly and welcoming, the place was clean and the atmosphere was great. Looking forward to coming back next time.

L. j.

Nice meal had chicken burger with cheese and waffle fries with a side of onion rings food was good but they had new baps beacuse of suppliers and the bun smelt funky and was not edible🤷🏻‍♀️

D. G.

Good pub with plenty of choice of beers

N. G.

Came in for a pint alone and had a lovely conversation with Matt who was just funny and a laugh. Great customer service here. Really thankful.

H. G.

T. G.

What a great night out, lovely food, excellent service, friendly staff, great atmosphere 👍

E. S.

Amazing night out, fantastic service and friendly staff would definitely recommend.

S. A.

Pleasant disappointed with plastic glasses but over all ok

U. T.

Great place to catch up with friends/family! Toilets are up 4 flights of stairs so if your other half dissappears for half an hour don't panic! She's not cheating on you! She's had to climb 400 stairs to get to the toilets! :)

V. A.

Brilliant pub with lots of TV’s and plenty of cocktails for us to drink. Really good atmosphere and nice surroundings

a. w.

Jake was lovely. Very welcoming and helpful. Sam was arrogant and disappointed in his hospitality and attitude. Stood behind the bar doing nothing

A. M.

Yates is Yates. But they are very slow on the app orders

P. H.

Had an amazing night!! Great music and great prices will definitely be back! pH

P. B.

Nice bar and good service and friendly staff, not a fan of Plastic pint pots as they make the beer go flatter. Whether this is the case for types of drinks not sure.

L. J.

App was simple bit didnt give an option to leave a note. I wanted a strong blackcurrant and water so I ordered a double shot of cordial. Then I ordered a vodka lemonade. I wasn't sure how it was going to come as it didnt let me explain what I wanted. Was worried they would put the cordial in the vodka. In the end they brought 2 weak cordials. Staff didnt seem bothered that Covid rules weren't being followed. Large group of girls just walking around without masks on.

c. a.

Was visiting manchester for an event. Stopped in here. People were welcoming, it was a fun place. Good cocktails. Lively atmosphere

H. L.

Had food there and was ok. Staff was lovely.

T. W.

Great place to eat, drink, and dance. Good choice of ales. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere

L. W.

Sunday the 28th November Christmas market time as a visitor to Manchester from the northeast 1330 nothing mutch left on menu to eat bar staff had to go upstairs to get more bottles of wine as ran out not good impression to visiting from other places

E. T.

Beautiful place nice music!

G.

Nice big pub. Good food and reasonable priced beers.

J. P.

Stopped by for one beer, place looks to be nice.... consider to visit this weekend

A. R.

Was a great refuge from the rain and wind yesterday afternoon! Great choice of beer and other drinks. Friendly staff. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the visit to the "rest room", toilet is up 4 flights of stairs!

s. a.

Really good service and reasonable price the food was excellent AK

L. S.

Great service from Harry last night

J. S.

Nice bar and good priced drinks. Staff could be alot friendlier. All in all a good pub.

P. W.

Lovely breakfast Great staff

D. W.

Done 3 years of bar work myself; I know what it’s like when it’s busy and you’re understaffed. But when it’s mid day, quiet and you’re trying to order food; I was told to wait because they were busy... as they proceeded to go into the glass wash area and stand and talk on their phones... I walked away and was about to leave before I was shouted back to the bar to order and was apologised too. That was appreciated, but should never have been necessary. Place could do with more attention to cleaning as soon as a table is finished being dined on and the customer leaves.

A. W.

Great night out, fantastic service and friendly staff, highly recommend. 👍

P. B.

Not been in a Yates for many years. It was a quick visit but enjoyable with good prices and a good selection of drinks.

A. M.

Excellent value for money for quality of breakfast

o. k.

Popped in or uick drink. Staff friendly, food looked good. Plenty of tables, downside, 3 up floors to toilets

B. A.

good atmosphere, decent price for drinks.

V. O.

Good food, good price

M. B.

It was our 1st time out in 6 months an it was a very good set up, we downloaded the app an away we went, the drinks came right to our table, very impressed.

C. D.

Great service and lovely relaxing afternoon drink. All areas were clean and had sanitising stations available for all. Will visit again when in the area

S. R.

Our bartender Oliver was fantastic

I. Y.

Popped in for lunch with my wife and 7 year old grandaughter, children welcomed and food very good for reasonable good price.

C. P.

Beer good, food overpriced.

J. G.

This place was fun, cheap and cheerful. The stag was flagging but this place perked him up

J. M.

The DJ’s in this pub are really good, along with the atmosphere and lighting. Really decent night out to bring family and friends

A. S.

Good choice on menus with very reasonable prices. Lovely meal and drinks

R. D.

Excellent service from the bar tender and toilets were very clean too Will come back next time I'm in the area

F. U.

It's ok. A bit rough if you ask me. It's ok for a quick pint. The food was for me terrible. I had the chicken burger. You could tell the burger hac been sat at the back of a freezer for a long time because it had a darkness underneath the crispy top top. Other than that it was ok. Service was cool, staff were friendly enough brought my food out, didn't get the order wrong, and I didn't have to wait too long either

T. P.

Brill DJ takes requests 😜

s. r.

11pm in a Friday night and it was so quiet. You used to have to force your way through to get to the bar. Although the doormen check bags and id's at the door, there is no dress code anymore, shorts, trainers anything seems to go. Still have to shout to tell the staff what you want to drink. Disappointed

G. E.

We were desperate for a quick lunch as we had a lot to do. Yates' was just what we needed. We enjoyed our club sandwiches with Strathmore fizzy water. Just right. Nice staff and customers.

J. M.

Typical Yates - we visited late Friday evening the place was dead. I suspect it was because the prices are a little higher than others in the area Food and drink menus on the table absolutely covered in drinks and just really a sticky and gross to touch. They do a 2 for 1 offer on cocktails but they are priced at almost a tenner each and you need to get two of the Same drink - so are you really saving? Better pubs in the area I’d say....

C. B.

No character, nice and clean, I'm old enough to have enjoyed the Yates of old. Oh how I miss the spitoons and blobs

T. R.

Booked the slug and lettuce for cocktail making for 27 ladies for my hen party, after some confusion we went into yates unexpected and asked could they accommodate us, was told yeah no prob. They set a area up for me and my 27 hens the provided us with willy straws badges etc. We all ordered food from the menu which was lovely and service was really fast. Jess and dannilea were absolutely amazing, lovely girls couldn't do enough for us just wanted to say thank u, u saved my hen party. We had amazing time making special memories. Thank u too all all the bar staff too xx

J. P.

Decent place for drinks, All is good here.

K. W.

Really great service and Tim was super friendly! Nothing was to much for him

C. M.

Well managed great staff.Good fast service .Would highly recommend

J.

Standard chain pub with good value food and drinks list. A casual place. Good mix of seating. Probably better for groups and younger age range some days and nights of the week. Staff attentive

L. M.

Great atmosphere, cheapish prices an banging tunes. . . All in all worth a visit

S. F.

Great night brilliant atmosphere fast friendly bar service. Would go again🍻👍

J. J.

Mint place kind staff especially oliver

T. M.

Very good pub, also they serve food. Can get pretty packed out in the evening. They do have a covered outdoor. Mind you I haven't been in for a good while. Keep an eye on your beer and personnel belonging

O. S.

Sat outside. Only complaint there wasn't any seats with a back on it but that's a personal thing as I have a back injury. Food was good value for the price. The onion rings were amazing! And so many of them😊.

N. G.

Wonderful, fantastic location

P. J.

Had a brilliant night in Yates’s at the weekend, not sure what’s changed but it was so much better than it was before. Keep up the improvements 👍

A. d.

Great cleanliness and support from staff during COVID 19 however on another note, I am being scrutinised at various points and I wonder how hygenic it is for a waitress to be serving food to the public in her coat that she has worn to go out smoking in...coats for outdoorsand smoking then remove.....Id rather not pay for this 'privilege ' yet I am asked to remove my purchased items off the tray they are presented on..come on, dont smoke all over yourself and serve food.....I am a nurse working with COVID every day and I remove my grubby uniform for you, dont serve me food in your outdoor smokey coat please!!!!! Uniforms are there for a reason, coats for another.....im not even gonna go there about untidy hair and playing about wirh it. Well done to the young gentleman who scrubbed the tables within an inch of their lives x

Good friendly staff chain pub good variety of food and beers and alcohol

d. g.

It was ok my chicken wings were ok till 1 was raw and cold in middle. My brothers steak sandwich was just ok . Staff lovely. Toilets way too far up stairs and the smell was awful.

R. C.

Great bar yatess as it is watering hole decent selection well priced beers lad from down south on the bar spot on

M. D.

Busy because it's cheap. Food was fine. Quick service. Nothing fancy.

D. A.

Nice atmosphere. Good selection on beers, however no cask beer was available.

J. B.

Good staff. Hate the treck to the ladies though...

s. d.

Ok, but to go toilet is a mission

C. H.

Busy at times and a little crowded but good atmosphere and great staff,pleasant and cheerful.

S. B.

Very nice breakfast and fast service

P. G.

Convenient for the Central Manchester Coach Station. Food isn't too bad, I bought a pizza but the around the crust was a bit burnt. But apart from that it wouldn't put me off visiting again.

J. K.

Flat beer and G&T served in a plastic glass

P. H.

This place is great. A great range of vegan options, reasonably priced and the staff couldn't be nicer.

N. Z.

Great service, reasonable prices. If you’re looking for drinks in Manchester you can’t go wrong here.

H. L.

Had a large platter with ham, steak, sausage, egg and chips that was great although in hindsight I should have opted for a smaller dish! The beer is reasonably priced but is annoyingly served in plastic glasses that feel strange.

G. S.

A sports bar, loads of screens, basic food, but plenty of cocktails. Not the place if you like quiet friday nights! About 9pm, up goes the music, down go the lights. Quite fun, but not the place for fine dining.

R. T.

I really like Yates - it's one of those unpretentious pubs that does the job. The food on offer is okay and you get your moneys worth. They also have a small beer garden which is brilliant on a nice sunny day. It's not an gastro pub experience but it does the job if want a quick bite or a pint.

c. s.

Lively and busy environment for a good night out good DJ and staff

J. M.

Great service great atmosphere

L. S.

Very busy no barcardi over the weekend. Served drinks in plastic glasses

J. G.

Popped in after a show at the Lowery. Straight off the Tram. Chilled Cider and Burger 🍔 Supper. Service was very pleasant and prompt. Wasn't too busy, friendly midweek treat.

m. c.

Just around the corner from Chorlton Street bus station, this place was still serving when I left it at 12.15 on Thursday morning. It did a good job of keeping me awake while I waited for the Glasgow bus. Behind the bar, they have a mind-boggling array of liqueurs and spirits, so I'm guessing that cocktails are a speciality. There was nothing special about their range of beers but unless you insist on lambics or other exotics you could find something drinkable there. There is a large and comfortable beer garden if you wish to smoke.

P. W.

So pleased we stumbled upon this place - friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere. Will revisit if possible

T. G.

Nice place staff very nice but the toilets are filthy.

j. p.

J. M.

Typical Yates bar, good layout, beer & service.

M. M.

Busy pub service was quite prompt considering how busy it was.

A. Y.

The floor is less sticky than it's rival Wetherspoons. I came in for a coffee one morn8ng. Staff were nice, clean table and wasn't ripped off for a pretentious coffee like in the cafe Nero across the road!

A. P.

Decent pint of Guinness, friendly staff

C. M.

Great staff great service well managed would highly recommend

k.

Great beer, nice amount of Tv's to watch sports. Great atmosphere and very good looking women. The staff were very helpful too.

C. P.

No food left. Disappointing

A. V.

Good drinks at a same price anywhere, never knew they served breakfast, until looking on website, cheaper than weather spoons by nearly a fiver, except you don't get black puddings, or unlimited coffee like weather spoons, but would go again nearby Britannia hotel.

R. A. W.

Mediocre breakfast, I was a bit disappointed but the coffee was very good. The building is modern, comfortable and right next to Manchester coach station. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would visit again 😊

A. K.

Very nice place with great coffe

V. H.

Great place to meet up with friends. Good selection of thirst quenchers. Food available (can't comment as I've not tried it) well placed close to the tram and bus services

j. b.

Nice friendly staff and good decor. Plenty of live sports being televised to suit all tastes. Weekends do get busy but weekday and Sunday is quite relaxed

F. B.

Friendly staff. Food well presented, piping hot, tasty and didn't have to wait for long, despite it being busy. Vegetarian options a little limited.

A. M.

I like going to Yates went with my wife we had a couple of drinks and a meal in there the food and drinks were good value for money it wasn't to busy at the time we got in staff very friendly place was nice and clean near bus station and rail station walking distance to stores

C. F.

Used to use this pub a lot for breakfast as it's central to alighting the bus then after my meal, walking to Piccadilly rail station. Used to get a good breakfast with extras for £5-70. Unfortunately, I walked in here one Monday morning, ordered exactly the same and the price had increased to £7-20. I considered an increase of £1-50 to be far too much in one go.

S. T.

Great place cheap drinks and looked like decent food

S. G.

Central Manchester. Unsavoury characters inside. Didn't feel safe. Cold with door open. Stag do came in. Wanted to use student fresher's week vouchers, but left before ordering

s. h.

3 pots of tea and 3 toasts,perfect and all very pleasant waiting staff,5 out of 5

M. C.

Staff very friendly

D. M.

Love this place I go in regular now, beautiful looking manager who is very helpful and friendly.

C. J. (. D.

It was ok..the guy that took our order just seemed a bit stressed and not welcoming..same as everywhere in town lately.

G. F.

Great place , near the bus station so was handy for breakfast. Food is ok. Cocktails are 2 for I . Staff were quick and friendly. Great atmosphere inside.

R. R.

Friendly, hardworking staff, busy and popular cafe.

L. E.

Rough and ready city centre bar in Manchester. Plenty of seating, good selection of drinks, decent tunes and gorgeous girls but full of scallies as are all the bars in this part of town. Drinks are quite expensive compared to its neighbours which is why I can only give 3 stars.

j. t.

Didnt recon much to yateses prefered somewhere else food wasnt that good tbh

A. G.

Very busy these days , a bit rough and ready but the beer is cold

B.

Good selection of drinks and offers. It's always a bit grubby and cold. Not the best bar in Manchester but definitely not the worst.

O. B.

I’ve been to a few Yates branches from Brighton (before it got turned into popworld) and Yates Southampton! The thing I love about Yates is it’s always really quiet until around 6 in the evening. Plus they play music compared to Wetherspoons. Yates Manchester doesn’t disappoint! Particularly researching Yates being a northern England pub chain originally before expanding down south! I’m not surprised the larger of choice at Yates Manchester is Carling or John Smiths as a home brewed largar

W. M.

Lovely staff Lovely food

F. k.

Great beer great staff. Well worth the visit.

C. K.

Really enjoyed our food yesterday served by the Polish lady who was very polite and efficient. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the whole bar in the printworks and the disabled facilities

C. K.

lovely atmosphere drinks are nice prices what would expect in the city centre bar staff always look like they hate their job one girl working there needs to get a grip haha gave me nastiest look cos i wanted cheeky vim in a pitcher :')

A. M.

Busy pub near the Bus station, good selection of drinks and reasonably priced food. A good stop off if you are waiting for the next bus. TV screens showing football, although you are out of luck if you want any other sport.

I. B.

This is a Yates's. To those expecting it any more than that, then will be disappointed (and also unfamiliar with every other Yates's in the country). But it being a Yates's is also its plus point. The beer is cheap. The clientelle are there because the beer is cheap = 'interesting' in a Cantina Bar kind of way. The menu is consistent with a place that sells cheap beer so don't expect a la carte.

J. R.

Food was lovely drinks a decent price aswell

S. L.

Busy, lively spot for late drinks in the heart of Manchester city centre.

J. M.

Bit of a change cleaner and tidy than when I last was in here

J. W.

Great atmosphere. Bit pricey.

H. S.

Great atmosphere & service. Especially from SS

G. R.

Everything you would want.

c. g.

Great music if you want to dance and sing, drinks are super cheap and there's some great cocktails. It is quite a cheapy place though so don't expect anything fancy!

T. S.

It's a typical Yates. Oh has a beer garden.

A. P.

We visited Yates as part of a stag party and had a great visit. Staff were good and the while atmosphere was alive. Really enjoyable.

M. H.

Very average food.

A. T.

It's a pretty average Yates. Nothing really to shout about, but you know what you're getting. It's in a pretty good location if you're getting a train from Piccadilly.

D. B.

food ok and drinks great value.

R. A.

Very friendly, clean and above all they sell John Smith's👍👍👍 😃 a lot better beer than all of this real ale stuff!!

R. L.

Only there 2 hours but nice pleasant staff and pleasant atmosphere

as long as you accept that it is a yates's lodge then it delivers on what you expect, basic with an interesting mix of customers, good choice of drinks and basic but affordable food - food i ordered was delivered quickly, was well cooked, staff were friendly

S. G.

Lovely wine bar very pleasant staff

M. R.

D. c.

Great place. Attentive staff and lovely environment

Was staying in Manchester for a couple of nights whilst the UCAS exhibition was on. Went in here to catch one of the Champions League games in the evening. Plenty of televisions to see the match and Brewdog Punk IPA that went down a treat. Didn't order food but stuff coming out of the kitchens looked decent.

K. E.

Really cool bar with great atmosphere, does get very busy very quickly though!
