Printworks has a number of resturants and a few good bars.

[akane1984]

looks good. keep suggestions coming thanks

a short distance from the printworks is 'the triangle' which has pizzaexpress and other places. avoid pizzahut of course which is not far away. there's also within printworks the 'hard rock' cafe/restaurant - nice food but expensive plus the bogs were poorly maintained which I'm sure your ladies wouldnt appreciate.

Could try here (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/48/480/Salisbury/Manchester) for indie/rock. Try along Oxford Road/Deansgate.

Or you could try Rockworld ;)

...or Tiger Lounge (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/19/19431/Tiger_Lounge/Manchester) or Corbiere's (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/50/5052/Corbieres_Wine_Cavern/Manchester) though you will need a map for that as it is hard to find, though worth it :)

cheers we are staying around piccadilly. .To be honest, nothing is more than a 10-15 minute walk

[akane1984]

thats ok don't mind a walk long as get good meal!

Argh, stay away from rockworld.

5th avenue or 42's should cater for your tastes, though they can be really particular about letting non-students in so its best to get there at about 10pm when it opens.

I can recommend Croma for excellent pizza, but can't really think of anywhere that does decent pizza and steak.

Edit: Have been informed the living room is good, though packed with posers and the terracota army.

EST EST EST off King Street

[skyblueheroes]

Printworks is good.

[homealone]

one time i had a night out Manchester, someone, 'dodgy', led us to a Chinese buffet style place, which was excellent, well worth a thought if anyone doesn't fancy steak/pizza ;)

[akane1984]

thanks for suggestions but yeah it has to be a good meat menu and pizza is optional. . if i dont get them good steaks in nice resturant i may be eaten haha

est est est is looking promising.

AAARRGGGHHH. Don't go to the living room. Full of numpty men who want to look like footballers, and full of girls who's biggest ambition is to slap on as much warpaint as humanly possible and become a footballers wife.

[akane1984]

haha, well i like look of est est est and gauchos grill??

[leef78]

Try CROMA neer the town hall, quality place, gets pretty busy but worth the wait, doesn't cost the earth either. http://www.cromamanchester.co.uk/
have a good time.
Cheers

Probably not the suggestion you will take but Velvet on Canal Street is the best restaurant in Manchester IMO and I have tried quite a few over the years..

Its menu is varied and the food is stunning, more than that the service is awesome and they really look after you, which I cant say about many of the other establishments on this thread. Good wine list also and the affordable house chardonay is more than palatable

Its in the Village though so if any of your friends are d***s then its not the place for you.

[Enuff]

And if you get a little fed up with the town centre you can always nip down the road to be entertained in Salford...

Come on :rolleyes:

If you can't find a great restaurant in Manchester city centre just by walking in a random direction for 5 minutes, then no amount of advice on cable forum is going to help you ;)
