Reviews of Jamboree Foodfest & Bar - Manchester

D. L.

Nice place just at the corner of Piccadilly Garden. Good decor. Even though just for breakfast, but believing to be a good bar for drink. But don’t expect too much on the breakfast, just limited choices to select for a breakfast buffet.

C. (.

A nice pint in a decent bar. The burgers were tasty and the service was great, it was just a shame that our first choice on the menu wasn’t available. I would definitely eat here again.

U. L.

Lovely bar,very welcoming,clean,lovely cocktails! Highly recommend thankyou Jamboree we will be back soon

D. W.

Casablanca was delicious. I also had the burger last night which was great. Staff are chatty and dead down to earth. The restaurant is attached to the hotel I was staying at but now I know about it I’ll be back.

K. M.

Food lovely. Staff absolutely amazing, especially madina (hope I spelt that correctly, sorry if not). Hope one day she's manager!

S. B.

Good range of food and beer (Peroni on draught, always a winner) with sport also available on the TV. This bar is also conveniently located adjacent to the Ibis Styles for guests staying close by.

O. O.

I loved the ambience. The hosts were quite polite and kept checking if we were okay. Kitchen doesn't open till 1330 on Sunday though, cos I enjoyed coming there the previous day and wanted to have another experience. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a notice of the kitchen opening time. Have that in mind when planning. Overall, a decent place.

D. D.

Loved it here so friendly. Few kitchen issues but we're so apologetic and sorted as soon as they could. Very welcoming to the Danson Runners. Thankyou

K. K.

Nice place good selection of drinks. Burgers were gorgeous.

G. 8.

Went in for happy hour bar maid seemed unsure of offers but cheap drinks so can't moan

K. B.

Great location, contemporary decor and good selection of drinks. Tad pricey though hence 4 stars rather than 5.

k. f.

Busy bar that is run efficiently, the staff were attentive and polite. Thank you for a pleasant if brief visit. Keith Fox 28 vears as a publican

g. h.

Nice clean place . Beer reasonably priced. Family friendly.

S. “. T.

The food was good and service was good. Also has a pool table but cost!

N. C.

Had a few beers but no food, nice enough place.

M. M. G.

Food was nice, service was terrible (not the staffs fault, just wasnt enough to go around ) we had our meal finished before getting our drinks

A. M.

A long wait for food. Music a bit too loud but overall a nice place to visit.

A. T.

It's nice place to get some drinks. Personnel is friendly

J. B.

Boston bake was yummy! Nice place with a good atmosphere

I.

Really massive dinner, not expected at all. The food just surprised Us, it was really taste and good quality (bbq ribs, salmon salad, teriyaki noodle's ...)

T. S.

Lovely food. Great staff

P. C.

Ok, wasnt busy but still took while, found it by walking past..

D. A.

Really nice new bar, the food was great. Had the jerk burger, chicken tasted so good, plus cocktails & tunes. Just what I like.

F.

Service was great and food and drinks were yummy and reasonable, relaxed atmos

S. B.

Pizza was not cooked properly but lovely staff and nice vibe

a. h.

It's ok staff were friendly but food menu was ok

A. H.

Good food lovely staff slow service that's why it's not a 5

o. n.

They forgot about my order so 45 minutes later they finally STARTED cooking it! I only chose this place because I’m staying in the hotel above it and was too exhausted and hungry after a long working day to go somewhere else. This is an update on my review I posted earlier. I was offered 2 free meals as a compensation which was indeed good of the restaurant management. The dish I ordered was good. Thank you.

J. A.

Couldn't fault the place good cheerful staff good food and very good pina calado cocktails they were delicious

K. B.

First time in this place since it has been revamped and I was very impressed upon walking in. It's very modern in decor with a great open spaces seating area. Good atmosphere and welcoming with lots of seating. Drinks are average pricing for Manchester but I did have an excellent glass of merlot. We also had a delicious meal whilst there depending on your taste with good service & well presented. I would visit again.

M. J.

Great atmosphere but my burger was way too oily. My plate looked like a small pond by the time I finished.

A. P.

After a long delay waiting for food I was told the order hadn't printed in the kitchen so I would have to wait. Not a huge issue as they gave me a free pint to compensate, but unfortunately when my "raging bull" burger came it was nothing more than a "slightly irritated bull". Loads of other better options in the area

R. B.

Very tasty burger with thick cut chips. Good fast service too despite being busy

F. J.

Great new bar. An absolute find to see that they are open until 2am. Great drinks selection, atmosphere is really appealing with low lighting and a real dive bar feel and clearly fresh food. I had the calamari and the raging bull burger which was all cooked to perfection. Team were attentive and informal.

P. M.

Whilst i cannot comment on the food as we never ate here, we did have a great time. We came here twice over the weekend for a couple of drinks and few games of pool, The size of the table doesn't warrent the £1 a game price, when you have other places charging that for the proper size tables. Putting this aside the staff were friendly and the drinks were tasty :) Great Atmosphere and decor. Thanks guys

G. W.

This is quite a nice bar by the station with friendly staff. The beer is okay but the food expensive and not great - I had the Argentine burger which was dry and pretty tasteless against what it was described as. Can't recommend it for food but for a drink it's okay.

S. A.

Great food. Burgers are to die for. Would have been 5 stars but they were pretty much out of all the desserts on the menu. Plus the service when we wanted the bill was a bit slow as they were chatting at the bar

T. M. C.

Excellent meal and caring staff.

L. H.

Attached to the Ibis hotel it's ok for a hotel bar. Not a great selection of beer but I wouldn't expect it in this type of place. Nicely decorated with lots of wood. It wasn't too busy when we went in whereas lots of other places were really busy. Not sure what it would be like normally - probably really quiet. Plenty of bar staff so we were served really quickly. Ok for an after work drink.

C.

Love this place great concept. Various nice seating areas something for everyone. Games area with pool table and foosball table, dining area, lounge with TV, bar,.. Menu looks cool the concept is put through very well. But would love some more vegan options on the menu :)

T. C.

Lovely place for a quick stop off, some food and a pint. The staff were lovely.

D. C.

Nice decor but the food unfortunately let it down. I ordered a steak with a rub and when it came no run was present so i sent it back, however when it returned still no rub present and it wasnt even a new steak but was my original steak just cooked a little more. Service is also very spotty with staff either being over present or not present at allx they can also be a little over friendly i.e leaning on your table whilst speaking to you

S. T.

Loved it. Been before and it was even better. The Christmas lunch wasn't very good, but last time we had the BBQ ribs and they were wonderful. There is also a really good bar

S. H.

We met our family for a pre- Christmas meal here and you never failed to disappoint us . The food was dull, late and very expensive. The atmosphere for a Saturday night and especially the 23/12 was poor , the staff inattentive and the place was just cold and left us feeling well cold . Will not be visiting again.

B. B.

The jerk burger was a very welcoming meal for my first meal in Manchester, it was quite good. I almost want to eat it again already, and it's only been a few hours. Cocktails were excellent as was the service. I haven't tried the rest of the menu, but would highly recommend the jerk burger.

M. D.

Good restaurants have short menus and this one has just the necessary on theirs. Delicious food and a very comfortable and beautifully decorated space for a restaurant where their friendly and welcoming staff really makes the difference. Strongly recommended!

w. a. (.

The service was ok though they messed up the bill which was rectified. The food was delicious and very appetising. However the menus were a bit hard to read with a combination of the low lighting inside. I would honestly suggest better menus so it is more visible to see with the low light theme.

A. P.

Fab night although they took our seats off us

M. M.

It's an average hotel bar, quite a lot of seating. Last time I went there were no staff serving at the bar at 6pm on a Friday. Service isn't great! Beer selection is okay. They do food too, but I've not eaten there myself.

M. J.

Walked past this place. Looked in the window. Loved the look in side. We went in. Great staff. Very friendly. Couldn't be more helpful. Food was great and a bonus. Burgers bogof

K. H.

Really good cocktails, best mojito I've had since Cuba, prices were good for a hotel bar, didnt have any food so can't comment on that, but they did have a tv on for the football and the staff were friendly and quick service. Would go back again.

P. S.

Didn't have food, so can't comment about that. I thought as a pub it was nice.

D. C.

Clean and tidy but not cheap get what you pay for though 👍

L. H.

Lovely bar, had a really delicious dessert and milkshake. Music a bit too loud tho, but otherwise, a warm and cosy place! I'd recommend it anytime!

K. G.

Had a great night playing pool and table football the cocktails are amazing

N. S.

Ate and drank here whilst staying at excellent adjoining Ibis hotel. Food was very good for the price and staff very friendly. Not open as late as advertised.

S. S.

Loved the place! Spicy Jamaican food, friendly and helpful service offered and cool atmosphere" definitely recommend the place for those who seek something different and exotic

J.

Awesome place just off Piccadilly Gardens, I recommend their signature burger, great service, quiet place, large areas so people can sit comfortably without bumping into each other. Truly recommended.

M. B. (.

The food was good. I thought a little expensive for what it was, but the portion size was generous so that makes up for the cost I guess.

D. R.

Food was pretty good but the service was exceptional. Great location and good atmosphere.

J. M.

To be fair prob deserved 4 star but was bit worse for wear when we arrived - overall nice spot

M. S.

Fantastic place to socialise, eat & drink, the decor is Fabulous, the staff are warm & friendly, lot's of space for everyone, my favourite is the Chicken Jamaican Jerk with fries!

P. W.

Presentation and staff are lovely. Confusing to get to the toilet as you need to walk through hotel but lovely atmosphere.

R. M.

Very pleasant atmosphere, but as usual not a cheap place, probably as it part of the adjacent hotel.

A. H.

Relaxed bar, didnt try the food but ok drinks and burger-menu seemed good

M. F.

Good food reasonably priced very centre of the city so convenient adjoining a v cool hotel

L. D.

Great continental breakfast. Spotlessly clean with attentive staff... The mature gent is on the ball constantly. Highly recomended

L. M.

Amazing place and food, nice "low light" atmosphere. Hamburger and sweet potato fries awesome.

S. F.

Food is ok, service is food however the lighting makes it difficult to read the menu as it is printed black text on a dark brown

P. H.

Nice relaxing bar with great friendly staff

D. B.

Mediocre - food ok but barely better than Wetherspoons and more expensive - drinks expensive too. Plenty of much better places in the city to eat than this.

L. T.

Great food and good choice of beers, would definitely come here again, 5 stars

M. N.

Service really good but food was only mediocre! Nice place for a drink though.

S. S.

A nice place, just off the city centre, near the gay village. It as a good selection of beer and lager.

Nice place, staff were a bit mean and rude when I asked for a glass of ice to go with my pint of cider!!!!

(Translated) Great restaurant, well furnished and nice staff. But unfortunately very loud. Unfortunately, a contemplative evening cannot really be enjoyed there. You have to order drinks at the counter. At least the food is brought. The audience is mixed, as many tourists come from the adjacent Ibis Hotel. The opening times are very good. Which is unfortunately not enough to significantly improve my opinion. (Original) Tolles Lokal, super eingerichtet und nettes Personal. Doch leider sehr laut. Da ist ein beschaulicher Abend leider nicht so wirklich zu genießen. Getränke muss man an der Theke ordern. Wenigstens wird das Essen gebracht. Das Publikum ist durchwachsen, da viele Touristen aus dem anliegenden Ibis Hotel kommen. Die Öffnungszeiten sind sehr gut. Was leider nicht ausreichend ist, um meine Meinung deutlich zu verbessern.

P. B.

(Translated) A very nice bar, the doorman was extremely rude, but the service was very nice. Prices adequate our cocktails were delicious. Happy Hour from 3 to 7, 2 cocktails for £ 12, and other offers. We did not try food, but who wants to eat delicious in England, usually goes to Italian or Asians. We found the atmosphere to be very pleasant and quiet compared to other bars. (Original) Eine ganz nette Bar, der Türsteher war zwar äußerst unfreundlich, aber die Bedienung ganz nett. Preise angemessen unsere Coctails waren lecker. Happy Hour von 3 bis 7, 2 Coctails für £ 12, - und andere Offers. Essen haben wir nicht probiert, aber wer in England lecker essen will, geht in der Regel zum Italiener oder Asiaten. Wir empfanden die Atmosphäre im Vergleich zu anderen Bars als sehr angenehm und ruhig.

v. S. B.

(Translated) The attention was excellent. Exquisite food, beautiful facilities. The rooms are very comfortable and nicely decorated. The location is good because it is 6 blocks from the train station, close to tourist information and shopping centers. I recommend it! (Original) La atención fue excelente. La comida exquisita, las instalaciones preciosas. Las habitaciones muy cómodas y con una decoración agradable. La ubicación es buena porque está a 6 cuadras de la estación de tren, cerca de información turística y de centros comerciales. Lo recomiendo!

(Translated) Food was ok, nothing more and nothing less .... (Original) Essen war ok, nicht mehr und nicht weniger....

(Translated) I had a beer, the place is connected internally to the adjacent Hotel Ibis, in the morning it becomes the breakfast room of the same hotel and in the evening it is a normal Bar / Pub. (Original) Ho bevuto una birra, il locale è connesso internamente all'adiacente Hotel Ibis, alla mattina diventa la sala colazione dello stesso albergo e alla sera normale Bar/Pub.
