Three Little Words in Manchester

Food is sensational and the service is fantastic. We absolutely loved the buttermilk chicken, roasted potatoes and burrata. Our new favourite food in Manchester, we’d dine here every night!

What a beautiful place. I had been given a voucher for Sunday Roast Lunch and guided Gin tasting. We were greeted by the lovely Faye. Inside the decor is impressive. The Roast was exceptional. Full of flavour . That Yorkshire pudding was the finest I have ever tasted. The guided tasting was good fun, the story of the start of the business was lovely. The gins were lovely. I think I would have benefited from an extra mixer to enjoy the gins after the initial tasting. Although I didn’t ask for one. The whole experience was such a lovely afternoon. Thank you

10 out of 10! Great, attentive, friendly and efficient staff The food was exceptional, we really, really enjoyed the Aubergine chips and roast dinners (Beef and Vegetarian choices). Let's do what we can to support the hospitality industry right now, especially when this place, Three Little Words, is THIS good!

We had booked the gin distillery tour and date night special straight after to kick off a weekend in Manchester in style. Danielle took the tour and was great company. She was knowledgeable, humorous and open to questions. The standard of the gin speaks for itself really, just excellent but maybe steer clear of the oyster gin 😆 Staff in the bar were extremely welcoming and attentive, with special mention to Ceiran who took the time to recommend several local spots to visit over the weekend. The food was also excellent- the aubergine fries were delicious!

Lovely warm welcome and service. They had a great offer for January with 50% off some drinks and small plates - all very tasty and would definitely return. Thanks!

Great spot with a bar and in-house distillery! Cocktails were outstanding, and the food was delicious, though portions were small and priced on the higher side. Still, a fantastic experience overall. 4.5/5 stars!

Very overpriced food. Nice place, good gin, nice staff pity about the food.

The food is great. We loved the atmosphere. The service and suggestions were incredible. Our waiter Ceiran was really very helpful.

Ceiran was a starrrrr will be back

Very knowledgeable staff, explaining the drinks. All drinks were amazing and it was hard to pick a favourite. Don't reject the butter or the olive oil cocktails!

Very inventive and interesting selection of cocktails - we worked our way through the menu and enjoyed every one Amazing service with very knowledgeable bar staff

I came in to Three Little Words this evening with some friends. Faye was our server and she was fantastic! The cocktails were brilliant and the overall atmosphere was excellent. Cheers Faye.

Faye - super star Visited later atmosphere was delightful and the service was great very attentive and welcoming Thank you

The drinks were creative and delicious with great attention to detail. The bartender was friendly and really knew their craft. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a night out. Highly recommend!

Three little words… bloody brilliant cocktails. We had a good range of the cocktails.

I have visited Three Little Words on numerous occasions and every time I have had a great time. They now do a lunch menu so why not a better time to visit! The food, service and atmosphere is great, you can actually have a conversation with friends in here. Faye is always very pleasant and welcomes you with open arms. This place really is a hidden gem!

Incredible food, incredible drinks, and incredible staff. Cannot recommend a better place in Manchester. Such a wonderful experience

By far the best Sunday lunch in Manchester. Everything tasted amazing and the service was incredible. Staff are very attentive, the decor is beautiful and there was even a live performer who sounded great. A gorgeous afternoon out with friends, we will definitely be back!

Loved the gin tasting then came for food afterwards Ammarah was a great server will recommend to friends for sure! The singer playing was also amazing!

Chilled vibe, lush drinks and the waitress Ammarah was fantastic went above and beyond with service and really personable! :) Highly recommend for a Saturday evening!

Ammarah was amazing! So personable and easy to speak to. She was very attentive on what drinks we wanted and really gave us a special touch to our evening, an absolute credit to three little words- best customer service I’ve had in ages and I’ve lived in the city centre for years 💖

Lovely welcome when we arrived and helpful and friendly table service too. We tried cocktails from the menu and also some classics and all of them were great.

Super nice staff. Very quick assistance. Delicious gin drinks. Ordered the spirit flight.

Food here is amazing! Only been for the Sunday roasts twice now. But all the cocktails are insanely good and that's coming from someone who doesn't drink often anymore. But really loved the food and drinks. Staff are all really lovely as well and give recommendations :)

Literally come here as often as possible. Amazing venue, unbelievable food and staff that any company or business would be envious of. Epic!

Had a brilliant time celebrating our friends birthday today (12/10). The food was delicious and the cocktails so unusual and drinkable. Our waiter Ceiron was the best, really helpful with cocktail and food choices and good fun

Probably in the top three martinis I've had in my life. I wanted a Gibson but the onions didn't make it in the delivery that day, but the dry martini I had (two of them to be exact) was outstanding...so much so that I asked exactly how they made it. As a martini lover, the precision was impressive. If you go, you MUST have the buttermilk chicken from the snack menu....you'll have an audible reaction (Etana!). The staff are fantastic...super friendly, and helpful with choosing gins and garnishes. Next time I'm in Manc, this is my go-to place for martinis and food.

Visited yesterday for my wife’s birthday along with 4 other friends for the gin tour. I found it rather boring and wouldn’t recommend doing it. £30 per person, (£180) After it ended we requested a table so we could have more drink. We were told it would be irresponsible to give us a table as a member of our party had been sick. That was news to us so two member's of our party went to find the person who was apparently being sick, she had simply gone to the ladies room, no sickness at all. Bear in mind we are all adults and had consumed a total of 3 drinks at this point. We left very disappointed and with a sour taste in our mouths for being accused of something that just never happened and secondly for being spoken to like children when our average is is 50! You’ve lost 6 loyal customers which will never drink in your bar again. In response to your reply, you have spoken with my wife and it’s very clear no one was sick. You can review your cctv as much as you like, until you can show me evidence of a member of my team being sick, I also stand by my decision to take my business elsewhere.

Great cocktail recommendations. Graeme picked my drinks perfectly each time. Top spot for a cocktail or two and great location near Deansgate to carry on your night

Our server was Oisin, he was absolutely amazing, great personality and great service!!! Will defo be back again! Food was delicious and so were the cocktails :)

Ceiran was our waiter and he was fantastic! Full of recommendations and lots of advice. The food was amazing and the dessert was outstanding! Loved it. Definitely recommend coming here and make sure to ask for Ceiran

A beautiful venue that's definitely worth checking out. The food and cocktails are absolutely incredible.

Been there last night, the food came in random order, sides came long time after the mains so had to eat our broccoli on its own. The quality of food was ok but not great. Our complaints were ignored initially and then they gave us a bottle of wine for free, didn’t even want anymore wine. Basically, keep away as for the premium price you will get rubbish service and very average food served in random order.

Everything about this place is excellent, from the exquisite and friendly staff, to the live entertainment, to the food. So impressed and happy I discovered it behind my Hilton Hotel in Deansgate. It’s a treasure. And I live sitting at the bar chatting to the super friendly bartenders.

I came here last night with a friend and it did not disappoint. We were served by a really kind new floor tender who assisted my friend with his allergies. The food was exceptional And I cannot wait to return. A big thank you to Graeme, Who you could tell is a great leader to the team And really cares about the whole guest experience.

Had a couple of gins here before we headed to the the station home after a break in Manchester for 50th birthday celebrations. Gins were really nice, I bought a couple to take away. Service was good. Polite enough staff.

We celebrated my son’s wedding here. What an unforgettable experience it was. The restaurant is beautiful, cocktails delicious, staff knowledgeable and helpful. The food was outstanding. The restaurant staff could not do enough for us. They catered for a wide variety of dietary needs. We will definitely be returning, I am looking forward to having the jumbo prawn again, very soon. ( the best prawn I’ve ever had) Thank you to everyone concerned. We will see you again soon.

New food menu is amazing, great drinks and venue

Great restaurant and bar, new menu is amazing, great food! Cocktails are incredible, and great choice of wine. Can’t wait to go back!

Great location, food, drinks, service and ambiance

The guys had clearly had such a busy day but were amazing with us from start to finish... Couldn't do enough for us. It's so refreshing to go to a restaurant/bar where everyone seems so happy to be a part of the business and are genuinely proud to be offering the high level food and drink that they deliver. Shout out to Kieran and Dan 👍 Five stars isn't enough- can't wait to come back 🙂

Best cocktail I've ever had, great service and a lovely vibe.

First visit to this beautiful bar and definitely won't be the last. All the staff were lovely and professional and the ambience was perfect.

Date night…New Japanese inspired menu served by a super friendly, knowledgeable team. Every dish was delicious 🤤 see you again soon, thank you x

Such a lovely experience here at three little words. Shout out to our servers Tom and Mia for amazing service !!! Had such a tailored experience due to the attentive staff.

We held our wedding reception at Three Little Words in May 2024 after having several lovely meals (and more importantly gins) here and noting impeccable service and a beautiful venue. We hired the venue privately for 70 guests eating in a sit down meal and holding a total of 110 guests by evening for drinks and dancing. The first thing to note would be the incredible team that run Three Little Words. Despite not being solely a wedding venue, the organisation and accommodation that came from the team was second to none and if you are considering TLW as a wedding venue, the added flexibility of using a non traditional wedding reception is a real advantage with no strict supplier lists and openness with menu requests. On the build up to the wedding, Chloe and Kirsty (the event planning team) were incredible. They regularly communicated with me and made sure all of the finer details for our reception were noted and accommodated. The TLW's team (incl Chef, Bar Manager) were very honest and transparent throughout planning giving advice with costings and knowledge from their experience on the best way to run the day with timings to get the most out of their team. So many guests on the day said how good the food and drink was. Our vegan guests said they had never been so well accommodated and other friends said they had never been so well fed/it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We had the Sunday Roast as our main and it went down a treat for everyone. The portion was a great size and made sure nobody was too tipsy! The bar staff were amazing, with lots of friends saying how attentive and friendly the service was. We truly couldn't find a fault with the team. Thank you so much Three Little Words!

First visit to Three Little Words. The service was incredible, all the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the place is really nice. We had a cocktail and, a special mention to Faye, who was so kind and looked after us so well. We will be coming back!

Best roast in Manchester, thankyou Tom for making it such a lovely experience! Top tier service

We had an amazing time at Three Little Words doing the gin tasting with Harry. It was amazing, fun and we learned a lot about Gin. We were also amazed by the drinks and the friendly bartenders mixing them. Took some Gin back home to enjoy! Definitely will be back when in Manchester!

The gin tasting tour was worth every minute and every sip of it! Funtastic from start to finish and with super friendly staff. Very well done in this beautiful place. Higly recommendable!

Only planned to stay for the tour but had to stop off for some drinks and food because Faye was the perfect host with excellent recommendations and Tom couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. 100% recommend

We had a great time. Our guide Harry made learning about, sampling and creating gins both fun and interesting. The numerous samples were well selected to show the a range of different gin types.

Really fun day at this cute place. Tom and Faye were superb hosts. Excellent vibes all round xx

We loved being served by Tom and Faye couldn’t do enough for you! Thanks guys ❤️

Been here for a drink years ago, not been back since until friends told us they do a nice Sunday Roast. Being dog friendly was a bonus too. Great staff on entering and during the visit. Only issue was took 20 mins+ to get the plates taken away for the roasts. Have to say the Sunday Roast was one of the nicest we've had in a very long time!!! Yorkshire pudding wasn't rock hard like it is in most places, carrots and Roast potatoes had great flavours to them, big pieces of beef too. We had a 2 course deal for both of us, it was £24 each. Bill came to £77 in tota including 10% surchargel!!! Can see why alot of people can't afford to go out for a meal much these day 😪 we didn't even have any alcohol!!!

Overrated drinks in fact disgusting , manager rude , all our drinks were neat , they advertise on there menu , not what we expected at all , waitress was lovely & totally agreed with us as regards the drinks , totally won’t be going there again

Fantastic Sunday lunch for Fathers Day. Chilled atmosphere with great food and brilliant service from Tom. Especially the drinks recommendations every one a belter👌

I’ve been three times now and done their gin making experience twice and every time it’s absolutely brilliant.

We had our wedding reception at Three Little Words in Nov 2023. The whole experience from planning to the event itself was wonderful and we are so happy we chose TLW for our wedding! The team made it really easy to plan everything and were very accommodating to everything we asked for. The night itself was perfect, the location/atmosphere is beautiful, food and drinks were great and all of our guests commented on how lovely the staff were throughout the night. Highly recommend for a drink at the bar, meal, night out, or wedding if you feel so inclined! Thank you to everyone at TLW for hosting the best wedding we could have asked for!

Fantastic experience! We did a gin tasting followed by their date night deal, where you can get a cocktail and 3 small plates. Fab, overall. The gin tasting was hosted by Josh (I think), who did a great job going through the gin distillery process and walking us through the tastings. One suggestion I would have here is around tonic: I personally didn’t care for the light tonic in the G&T, and I prefer to try gins neat but also with tonic, as it can substantially change the flavor! So I think I would have preferred having a bottle of tonic to taste with the gins (after trying them neat). Otherwise, really great tasting experience. The date night deal with the cocktails and small plates was very good. The choices were quite limited, which I could see some people finding disappointing but our choices (fries, padron peppers, and chicken) were really nice. It wasn’t quite enough food for dinner though, for us, and I don’t think we tend to eat a ton. We then stayed for cocktails, which were FAB. Tom and Kieran took great care of us. Tom, in particular, let us try some of their other spirits and gave good drink recommendations. Also, worth noting that the venue itself is absolutely wonderful!! Under old railroad/bridge arches. So lots of exposed red brick but also wonderful yellow and dark blue velvet furniture. Really lovely and tastefully designed. Overall, this is absolutely worth a visit, whether for the distillery, drinks or food (or all 3!).

Very pleasant moment, discovery of a distillery and tasting of several gins, with a meal at lunchtime.

Superb experience in this establishment. We chose the Spirit Tasting + dinner package. We had a welcome cocktail, the tour of the distillery and its history was very interesting, there were then 6 liqueurs to taste. Dinner was superb and plentiful (Sunday roast). The kitchen was late and the waiter did not hesitate to apologize and offer us a cocktail to wait, without us having noticed anything. All the staff are really very pleasant which contributes to a very good customer experience. Well done to you👏🏼

Excellent service and friendly staff. Went for birthday drinks with a group of friends and had an amazing time. Faye’s communication regarding the booking was great and the service she provided was lovely. Great place to go would definitely recommend.

Great evening going back to school to learn how to distil Gin. Harry was a superb teacher, very enthusiastic and knowable about his subject.

We love this place for Cocktails They make a fabulous Clover Club Booked a table so we could sit down Will definitely be back!

We joined a gin tour lead by Harry which was really informative and enjoyable. Lots of gin to taste while hearing all about the history of gin in general and Manchester gin specifically. We then enjoyed dinner and drinks in the restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommend

5/5 experience, lovely crowd, Danielle had lots of information, friendly staff, great drinks and fun to do with your family and partner

We had a fantastic day consisting of the gin experience and Sunday lunch. Harry was a superb host - we were a group of 4 (2 x 2 couples) and enjoyed a super introduction to gin, the history, the gin making process at the Spirit of Manchester and the company. We made our own gin; a super activity and great to bring the gin home with us to enjoy at a later date. We received lots of samples throughout the visit and enjoyed a really tasty Sunday day lunch afterwards. We were super impressed by the day and would highly recommend. Thanks Harry for making it such a great experience

A great space for a celebratory dinner - good atmosphere , extensive cocktail list and small plates were all delicious. Service was excellent especially Tom who looked after us so well.

From the moment we arrived, Faye was an absolute star. We'd had a bad start to our day due to flight delays and a broken phone but that was soon forgotten due to the thoughtful welcome we received. We got a lovely booth along the plant wall and the two course Sunday Roast and the food was superb, not only in terms of quality but also quantity and value. For drinks we had 2 different gin and tonics, a glass of wine, a pint of craft beer and two delicious spins on the classic espresso martini. Total bill for two starters, two mains and the drinks plus tip was around £120.

The Sunday roast was bland and the cocktails were awful. Absolutely not worth the £50 we each paid. Staff are superb.

My husband and I went on the gin experience and what a fantastic time we had. Our host Danielle was outstanding very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The place is amazing. After we went into the bar area where we had delightful cocktails and moreish small plates. Every member of staff was friendly. We will defiantly be returning.

Had a late lunch here after a visit to the Manchester distillery. Great cocktails and food. Some staff not as attentive as they could be but overall a good experience

A lovely bar! We did the distillery tour and gin tasting first. Really interesting! The small plates are very tasty

I was in Manchester on Sunday (21st) for the day and having heard good things about this place all the way up in Glasgow, decided to try the Sunday roast dinner. The decor and vibe are great, it's warm and welcoming. The food was excellent, it was ridiculously tasty and the portion was so big I couldn't do desert haha. But it was the staff that stood out for me. Both Megan and the gentleman with the great tattoos (whose name I did not catch) were attentive, charming, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant to speak to throughout my visit. I don't dine alone often, but they made me feel welcome, and I can't express how much I appreciated that.

Oh wow so underrated what a fabulous Sunday roast dinner. Old traditional yummy goodness great portion sizes, just so tasty yummy goodness. Best Porchetta I’ve eaten in a long time. Manchester u have to try the Porchetta Sunday roast Dinner at Three Little Words

Enjoyable dinning experience,.food was excellent and staff very knowledgeable about the cocktails and recommendations

Amazing little place for cocktails. It’s our go to with my girlfriend. Service staff is always welcoming and there is a cocktail for everyone. Bear in mind the prices are on the higher end, I suppose this is due to them mainly serving cocktails and not other stuff. Atmosphere is also great

Visited for the first time today doing the spirits tasting. Customer service was excellent, the bar is so stunning. We will definitely be coming back as soon as we can!

Went for my friend’s 30th birthday for the spirit tasting and Sunday lunch. A welcome drink on arrival from a very friendly member of staff. The talk was very interesting, there six different spirits, all made at the distillery. The girl who delivered the talk was very knowledgeable and entertaining, great start to a great afternoon. Sunday lunch was excellent as were the cocktails. Can’t fault anything, wonderful staff, great food and drink and all reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely great start to end. We were there on Sunday to do the gin chat, with some samples. Then we started on for Sunday lunch and some more drinks. This was class start to end. A super knowledgable guide, a delicious g&t. And when lunch came we were blown away - every mouthful was delicious. Our server was super lovely too. Really nice guy (I will I had his name-reddish hair with freckles) took time to chat through the cocktails, make sure we were always happy and was super stand out. Everyone got 5 stars. But I would give him 6 stars haha.

Kimmy’s espresso martini is sensational

Been back twice in a week for the Sunday roast, every part of it was cooked to perfection on both visits, Holly the head chef is incredible, we’ll probably see you next Sunday! Front of house staff are super friendly too!

Friendly, intimate venue for drinks and food with attentive service and good value.

My wife & I had a gin tasting session, with a tour of the facility. Josh was our guide and he was very knowledgeable as well as being really personable. The gins we tried were great and it was very interesting to hear about their differences as well as taste them. Afterwards, we stayed on for a bit to eat and that was also excellent. All in all, we had a great time and would recommend it.

Have been visiting here for drink and food since it opened, it never disappoints. Had a great time. Food delicious and great service.

This is a must vidit for all cocktail enthusiasts. The atmosphere is unique, the cocktails are innovative (don't expect to find a mojito or tequila sunrise on the menu!), and the taste map will help you choose.

Attended the make your own gin and tasting experience. Harry Osborne the host was extremely informative, knowledgeable and extremely personable. Highly recommend the experience and the Three Little Words establishment.

Fantastic gin tasting and making experience. Harry was a superb host, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Thoroughly recommend.

Ci siamo fermati qui per bere un buonissimo gin tonic ed abbiamo anche partecipato ad un gin tasting. Bello! Ben organizzato, bella storia. Consigliato!

We visited for the Gin making experience and thoroughly enjoyed it. We learnt a lot and had great fun making our own bottle of gin. We will be returning for food and cocktails.

Had Sunday lunch. Very disappointing. Lamb was very fatty, not much flavour. Parsnip was so hard, needed a hacksaw. Yorkshire was impressive size but again zero flavour. Gravy a bit meh. Wouldn’t go back. P.s. you’re supposed to let down mint sauce with vinegar.

Here for gin distillery tour. Even though it was just 2 of us, Harry gave a very knowledgeable and comprehensive experience. Would recommend

Been on distillery tour before which was excellent but just drinks and light lunch this time. Cocktails were amazing and the food was too. Great atmosphere and staff are so lovely. Can see why it gets such good reviews 😊

Excellent afternoon at the gin tour, tasting and gin making experience. Knowledgeable host Danielle and the chap doing the tour (sorry forgot his name) were superb. We were in just a small group which made the experience so much more personal I think than if there’d been full table of people. Still waiting to taste our gin we made (advise is to leave it for few days after making) but excited to try it later this week. One tip, eat before you go to help soak up all the alcohol tasting you do!!

We visited last night for a night cap and had the pleasure of having Mia as our host. She was lovely; so friendly and welcoming. The gin is always great here - would totally recommend.

We visited for drinks on my wife's birthday and had a wonderful time. First impressions were great- it is a lovely space and there are so many good options on the menu- loved the 'star map' helping you to decide which cocktail to try. I mentioned to the kind lady taking care of us (Fay, thank you) that we were there for a birthday treat and she brought my wife a free glass of bubbly- an entirely unexpected but very appreciated gesture. All the drinks were excellent- everything we tried was using spirits/vermouth made in-house. The presentation as well as the taste of the drinks was awesome and I've never seen ice like it before- the biggest and coolest (pun slightly intended) I've ever seen. Thanks very much, definitely one of my favourite bars I've ever been to.

I went for a Sunday roast dinner after seeing some positive reviews online and I have to say the roast was one of the best I've had in Manchester yet! The decors nice as well and the staff were attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back :)

Came here with our Christmas present Sunday funday vouchers. Distillery tour interesting; thankfully not too much time stood looking at the stills, and really good fun to try the different gins. All a bit too 'Seb & Jen' for me (even the bottles have the story), which is far less interesting than the gin itself, but still interesting and excellent tour guide (didn't catch her name, but Scottish!). Sunday lunch really tasty; fabulous duck pate, beef cooked to perfection, fab Yorkshire puddings and delicious sorbets and attentive staff. My only grumble was the paying aspect. Went up to pay at the bar and basically not given chance to see what I was paying for. Assistant tapped lots of buttons and presented a large bill. I then pointed out that we had the voucher, and he tapped more buttons, and was presented with a not so large total, but was not given any chance to view the itemised bill. I am assuming service charge was included, which always irritates me, particularly when I could not see at what level it was charged (left wondering what one earth had brought the cost up to £68). I would have tipped as the staff were good, but not being given a chance to even see what I was paying meant I left with a bit of a sour taste; shame that that spoilt the experience.
