Yates Printworks in Manchester

Great location, service and food

Been here previously for the lunch deal with family including under 18s. Came today but was refused service for food and a soft drink having no id? Staff member stated this is because they are a bar and not a restaurant. Just a heads up if you’re planning on going and not having alcohol still take ID or you won’t get served (even before 3pm)

Food was super slow to arrive and burgers were cold when they came. The beef burrito was missing on beef but there was some chewy fatty beef in there. Pizza was nice (only because we didn't order it). Staff were not very good at commu imaging but not their fault - they seem woefully understaffed. Assumption therefore is management are skimping based on the fact they get business due to location rather than their product offering

We did bottomless brunch here and it was fantastic, Alex gave the best service and we all had a really lovely time. I can't recommend it enough

Went for a bottomless brunch, our waitress was superb the whole time and kept the drinks coming. But after 10 cocktails each, we were still not even tipsy. The pizza was bland and average. It was entertaining watching people argue over unbooked tables. The worst part was the volume of the music, if it was after 6 or 7pm, no problem, but it was 2pm on a Saturday afternoon and we spent the whole 2 hours + shouting to each other, and we aren't hard of hearing, It was stupidly loud and detracted from what could've been a decent atmosphere. We won't be rushing back, there's definitely better BBs to be had. Besides that, everyone seemed high spirited, apart from our cocktails.

Went there right after the Christmas market with the family (including our two kids). It was 18:30, we saw children so we thought it was an proper family place (we saw at least two tables with young children). We asked at the bar if we should wait for a table, they told us to take any free table. After we settled down and were getting ready to order, the manager comes to our table to tell us we have to go because the company policy doesn’t allow children after 19:00 and we didn’t have enough time to order and leave before their “curfew”. I argued we were told so sit, this gentleman didn’t even apologize; he just said “it wasn’t him who told us to sit”; I replied he should take responsibility for his staff and what they tell customers, he just walked away… completely ignoring us. This guy really has zero customer service skills, an apology would have been appropriate. We just went next door, where we were well received. Families: save your time, don’t waste it at Tank & Paddle, unless you are there to spend a lot of money on drinks, they won’t care about you. Thank you Tank & Paddle for encouraging us to visit a great place (Chiquito)!

AVOID! Had a table booked, the rest of our party were inside. Wouldn't let me and my friend in to join them. Bouncer was looking for excuses not to let us in. First it was not tonight mate it's full... then after he went inside to check our booking and realised we did have one he then said to my friend "I've barred you twice and I have videos on my phone of you" bit weird and dodgy to admit that to be honest but ok. Just typical power hungry behaviour, Merry Xmas!

I've been before and have had exactly the same fantastic experience. The variety of food was great, and staff are very attentive.

My sister and I had “ bottomless brunch” on Friday 6th December. Although the place was really busy with folk celebrating Christmas and enjoying themselves we could not fault the service or food. The food was really good ( for the price), served fresh and hot when we requested it. Never had to wait for a drink, they just kept coming! The waiter Alex, was really friendly, welcoming and looked after us without being “ in your face”. Looking forward to our next visit.👍

We went for the bottomless brunch on Saturday and it was really good value for money. Our server Alex was amazing! Nothing was too much, he was friendly, polite and the customer service was fantastic from him. Thank you Alex

Super friendly service who put the desired Premier League game on the appropriate screens on a Thursday evening. Food absolutely ok for a sports bar, order either at the bar or via the app. Both happened quickly

We were served by the amazing Maddie and she was so lovely and charming, she answered all our questions and gave Brill food and drink recommendations. Will be 100% coming back to be served by Maddie again!

Everything u need relaxing all distancing rules followed

We recently visited Tank & Paddle at Manchester Printworks, and it was an all-around fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual night out. The food was absolutely brilliant! There was a great selection on the menu, catering to all tastes, and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Whether you’re after a classic dish or something a bit more unique, this place has it covered. The staff were another highlight of the evening. They were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about providing top-notch service. It really added to the overall enjoyment of our visit. If you’re looking for a great bar and restaurant in Manchester with good vibes, excellent food, and fantastic staff, Tank & Paddle should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

We booked a bottomless brunch for a friends birthday. The table was booked for 3:45 and we was only sat down at 4:30. Everytime we asked where our table was we was told our table was getting cleaned and someone was coming to us now, this carried on for about 30 minutes. The staff behind the bar were very rude to us and told us that they shouted for us 3 times but nobody came over to us. Once our table was ready a staff member didn’t even show us to our table we had to find it ourselves, when we got to the table we had been sat on two seperate tables, we didn’t get told this prior to booking and this was upsetting for my friend as it was her birthday. Burgers were low quality and very dry. Pizza was nice and drinks were nice however very slow service taking our orders. We left our 2 hour slot early because we was so disappointed with the service we received.

We had the bottomless brunch, which is good value for money, but we were "advised" an hour and half in that, "although it was bottomless", we had already had 6 drinks and needed to "pace ourselves". If we were slurring and argumentative we could understand the advisory. We've been to other brunches where the staff attend the table every 10 minutes and make sure you have enough drinks before your time, to ensure you get value for money. The fact weve just finished and I've written this review after the "responsible drinking chat", sums up how watered drown the 6 drinks were. Nice menu, nice food, mostly nice staff, not necessarily bottomless drinks.

Tuvimos el brunch sin fondo, pero una hora y media en y nos avisaron que ya habíamos tomado 6 bebidas, podíamos entender si estábamos visiblemente borrachos o arrastrando, pero ese no era el caso. Veníamos por un cumpleaños, y la actitud de las camareras hacía que el día fuera peor. Pedimos la factura temprano y nos fuimos. La comida era buena.

8 of us went for the bottomless brunch, it was amazing! Food was really good and there was a really good choice of drinks. Our server, Grace, was brilliant from start to finish making sure we never went without and really looking after us. We can’t wait to book again x

Me and my wife had our tea here, the service was very slow. There was left over plates and glasses on our table for at least 30 minutes. The poor girl working was covering the whole place on her own, she clearly needed some help. The drinks were ok, but the food very average. Pizza and burger and chips isn't hard to make but I could do better at home.

I came to this bar only last night for the first time with 6 friends and the experience was very disappointing which ended up with us leaving after only having one drink due to a very rude and nasty bar member who insisted to make a point of making us weight until being the last people at the bar to be served, His words were " have I told you your next no !! No you can wait till I've served everyone else" everyone at the bar said I was next but he said he didn't care, What a poor customer service and a let down to this company, from a recommended bar Not recommended from me no way

Wow! Qué asombroso brunch sin fondo. El La encantadora Dannilea nos cuidó. Ella era muy atento, eficiente y muy amable. Recomendamos encarecidamente tanque y paleta para el brunch sin fondo.

Un placer absoluto ser servido por Madison y las vibraciones en el lugar fueron geniales! Ella era tan carismática con una personalidad increíble / burbuja y su enfoque en el "servicio al cliente" eran impecables. ¡Un verdadero mérito para el establecimiento!

No soy fan de la comida del pub y lo he dicho muchas veces y este lugar personifica la opción. La oferta consta de ingredientes de mala calidad, fritos / a la parrilla / en el microondas y pulido con salsas y buena presentación - si esto es lo que su después de disfrutar de este lugar. Tenía pescado con patatas fritas y normalmente me quejo de que el pescado no es crujiente, este pescado estaba prácticamente chapado, estaba tan bien hecho. La hamburguesa de mi esposa tenía una espiga de carbón, pero la hamburguesa base era pobre. El servicio general era bueno y en general la calidad de los alimentos es un 2 , pero reflejándolo contra todas las demás ofertas de este tipo en funcionamiento es un 3 . Usted sabe lo que está recibiendo cuando viene a estos lugares, por lo que esto no es un informe de queja, sino una observación. ¿Volvería? No, a menos que el grupo en el que estábamos quisiera venir aquí por alguna razón.

Booked a brunch for ten got there stated we had booked for a meal only, it was booked weeks ago and double checked if everything was fine, they said yes all well. BUT NO IT WASN'T, Lost probably £500 plus that day.

this is mine and my boyfriends go to spot and he asked me to be his girlfriend here, the quiz on wednesday nights was the peak of my life id do it again it a heartbeat. the music was super fun and the atmosphere is lovely, the 2 for 1 deal has got me drunk many times (love it)

Came this afternoon served by Callum who was very helpful with the wines. Fairly busy with the football and a good atmosphere. Food came quickly and was super tasty, plenty of veggie options 👌🏻

We’ve just been for a bottomless brunch me and my partner and was amazing. Couldn’t be more attentive. Our server was dannilea. She really was amazing and couldn’t do more for us. Amazing place and will definitely be back.

This establishment lost out on a group of 13 people eating and drinking on Monday 9th September because of a very rude and arrogant man. We came in through the unlocked door at 11.27am and there was nobody around. This of course did raise suspicions that the place wasn't open, but upon looking at the website and seeing that it opens at 11am we decided to take a seat. We sat for around 15 minutes before anybody showed up to be told "you need to leave as we don't open until 12pm" in a very abrupt manner. I directed him to the website showing an 11am start, and he rudely replied that we couldn't stay because it doesn't open until 12pm, ignoring what I had just shown him. When I questioned it, he said "that must be a mistake". We considered waiting the short amount of time until it "opens" but subsequently decided that we didn't want to spend money in a place that employs such arrogant and rude people.

Bottomless brunch for a friends birthday. We were very well looked after by Taff. Drinks kept coming!

Joined the app got a free drink..... Bonus

Taf was amazing I recommend him 100% friendly and kept up with our drinks. And delicious food

Taff was amazing, made the whole birthday brunch top tier, very efficient and quick with drinks! Highly recommend

Had a great visit here. The staff were really helpful and showed us the Mixr app to get a free drink and start to use. The cocktail selection was good and offers in place at the time. Nice decor and atmosphere.

Never knew it was taken over, went here for my usual pre concert food and drink. The decor is great but the volume of the music is horrendous. The bar staff could not hear what I was ordering, I had to point to the pumps. I sat next to my partner and we couldn't hear each other. I love music and think it adds to the vibe but this was at 17:30 and it felt like being in a nightclub. I can't comment on the food as we left and walked up to the next bar to get food .The prices of the food has also doubled from the previous owners but the main reason we left was that it was far too loud to the point you have to use sign language

Bottomless brunch was absolutely banging. Quick service and Kev was friendly and attentive. Would come again.

Great service for bottomless brunch, drinks flowing and regular top ups, thank you Kev for being an amazing bar manager

We ve came over for the Real Madrid- Atlanta game and it was fantastic, the beer was spot on and KEVIN looked after us with everything we needed he is a key to the bar! Definetly recommend this for football matches!

Was in for a bottomless brunch last week. And the service was amazing. Amy was a delight, very quick, friendly and provided a very welcoming and lovely atmosphere safe to say me and my mates left legless

Went here for the England v Switzerland game, was a brilliant atmosphere, best place I've watched football in Manchester! Food menu is really good and the food is excellent. Staff are really welcoming and friendly, will definitely be going to watch the semi final here.

Came in for a work bottomless brunch and couldn’t ask any more from Amy and grace, took care of us amazingly, 10/10 cocktails and pint selection can’t ask for any more

Wonderful staff! Bottomless Brunch and nothing was too much for Amy and Grace who sorted us out all night! Can't wait to come again

The renovation of Yates to Tank and Paddle is 10/10! Such great interior and a proper good vibe in there! A great atmosphere, lovely staff, top quality food for a good price! And of course, the 2-4-1 cocktails! Can’t go wrong with a night in tank and paddle! Definitely recommend and will definitely be going back on the regular! X

2-4-1 Cocktails was a good deal but you have to get 2 of the same for the offer to work. Either way they were good and the service was fast! Good space to watch sports.

Wow went in the other day with friend and family for the opening, the place looks great, food and drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was really good!! I can’t wait to go again and get the bottomless brunch booked !!!

Very welcoming atmosphere, the revamp has made great improvements to the lay out and the food was amazing,fairly priced and all meals came out together within 15-20mins . We had a family gathering here and Tank and paddle were very accommodating for all ages . Looking forward to going again to try out the bottomless brunch .

Extremely limited menu today, I ordered mac and cheese as it was only 1 of 2 veg options on the menu. Said it would be served with garlic bread but none came. Tasted like a micro meal, the cheese was not grilled so it was just gloopy cheese.

Love It in the printworks Loads of places to eat and drink all under one roof 😉

was quite busy when I went but was ok for a beer ..

Hiya Yates Manchester. My experience was fantastic and Manager Kevin always goes out his way to make me and my other half and little lad welcoming.. and always goes out in way all the time to meet the service and food and drinks always deilver on fast service which is good. Am always happy to go to yates as I know what service am always going to get. Looking forward to seeing the change when Yates have a refurb. I defo be back.. I always feel that give credit where credits is due and look forward to being my mum in to your pub soon when she comes up From Nottingham soon.. keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ordered some food which never arrived. Table next to us ordered similar and the staff gave the food to them - an innocent mistake which can happen. But when this was pointed out, both managers basically called me a liar and said “that’s not my problem”. The table next to us then very kindly bought us the food again, but it shouldn’t have required that. Genuinely shocking service, over £9 of chicken goujons. Laughable. Nice to know Yates likes its customers! The goujons were also rubbish in the end btw!

My favourite place to go, can watch football, rugby and so but have a very mixed experience 🙄 A couple of months ago we ordered meal deal with drinks. We were waiting for 20 minutes, no drinks arrived, just the meal. Went to ask the staff and they said the will bring our drinks. They brought our drinks and a guy from upstairs kitchen also brought our drinks 10 mins after he brought our meals. So we got drinks x2 (wanted to pay for the extra drinks but the staff said it's OK and it's for free as an apology) so it was good after all the confusion. 3 weeks ago we went again for a quick drink before waiting for a train and the My Pub app placed an order to the pub near Yates (even if I have chosen the Yates Printworks) but we weren't allow to enter the other pub because my husband's son is 14 🙄 The last visit was on Saturday - ordered drinks, waiting 15 mins, had to go inform the staff, was reassured they will bring our drinks in a min, another 10 minutes, no drinks yet, went to inform the staff, they said it will be in a min. I offered I'll wait and can take drinks to our table on my own but was reassured they will bring it. No drinks arrived, so my husband went to the staff again and drinks were at our table 35 mins after ordering them. Then we made a meal deal order and everything arrived in 5 mins 🫣 It's a great place, I love going to there but better to go and order in person than using the My Pub app!

Great experience for 8 of us (4 kids) having tea before Monster Trucks at MEN. As others have said it was cold but we were near the door and it didn’t distract from a lovely atmosphere. Staff were all great, especially Dannilea who was friendly, attentive and really looked after us. Burgers, kids meals and mixed grills all good quality and reasonably priced, and decent selection of wine. (Not in any way a complaint but just a note to remind customers to order the desserts with the kids meal deal at the time with the mains, as my local haunts allow you to request them later - they’re minimal cost anyway so no issue). Also shout out to the door man who was great with assisting us find a nearby shop for crayons for our little uns! We had a great time, thank you all!

Popped in for some drinks and lunch while in Manchester. Service was quick and food was alright for the money, some dishes were a bit bland for the price though. Reason for less stars is because the place is not maintened well at all, the chairs were rough and falling apart, there were residue/imprint marks on the wall from old pictures which hasn't been touched up and we used the accessible toilet, it was not clean and the sink was falling off the wall, paint over the tiles and the lock didn't seem secure.

Lovely establishment in a promising area, great staff and wide selection of drinks. It’s just a shame you need an artic coat to enjoy your evening. You could store meat on the counter it’s that cold!

Great value food, good atmosphere pre concert.

It was ok apart from a noisy party messing about

Popped in for something quick to eat, was greeted with a nice welcome. Ordered food and it came relatively quickly and it was hot. The food was nice as well. The place was quite hence the atmosphere scoring 3. We enjoyed our food and drinks....

Great beers, friendly helpful staff. Worth a visit for sure and all at a great price for 2023 !!!

City centre bar on two levels. No Blobs anymore

genuinely the worst service i have ever had bar man was more miserable than someone who has just lost a loved one

Dj needs some practise trying to mix Dr Dre in with a dance song is never going to work without speeding it up. Dj loves his double beats ( too high tempo) but the staff behind the bar are friendly enough and service is with a smile

What a night! Absolutely lovely service by Amy! Very polite and helpful, answered every question we had about the menu and gave us recommendations too!!

Staff not very quick its very busy & not enough people serving & losing alot of cash if u had enough staff serving while people queuing up for drinks & food.

I was very appreciative of a very polite and handsome young man named Euan got served by him and will be coming again because of the brilliant service.

Good place to come for a pint and a cheap munch. Handy as close to the bowling and Vue.

Its a Yates. Cheap booze, cheap and cheerful nice food, good atmosphere and friendly helpful staff We dad a couple of drinks there before heading for the train home, just a 5 min walk to Victoria train Station . Will definitely call in there again

Low score for the temperature of the place alone. Didn’t eat during our time here, but the drinks were good. Absolutely freezing, had my hood up because it was cold. Got told to take it down by bouncer. Requested that the place turned the central heating on as it was absolutely freezing (-4°c outside). Bouncer couldn’t do anything about it (understandable). How can a bar in central Manchester be so cold. Freezing. Moved on.

We went on a busy Saturday night while waiting for a train out of Victoria station. Service at the bar was quick and the bar tender kept an eye on who was next in the queue. The drinks were very good value. There wasn't really anywhere to sit but we managed to stand at the end of a table. We noticed afterwards that there is an app you can order off, but we didn't try it this time.

The place was not busy but it was cold! The music was loud and we struggled to hear each other. We ordered a bottle of wine and the bartender had to wash two wine glasses there and then, so they were warm! Thankfully we had a huge bucket of ice for the bottle which we used to cool the glasses down. The wine was well chilled and nice. We ordered a chicken wrap and a fried fish sub. Both were very poor. The fish batter was solid on one side, and a very cheap fish was used. Some soggy lettuce and a scrape of tartare - but it was all lukewarm. The chips were also lukewarm and not nice. We left quite a bit of our food and no comment made by the server. Would we go back - no way! The rating was for the wine, which they had nothing to do with thank goodness.

A massive thankyou to the manager on duty who allowed me and my partner in for a drink with my assistance dog who didn’t have her identification harness on at the time due to the wet weather! Weatherspoons could learn something from this as we were turned away because I couldn’t prove the dog was an assistance dog despite having prove of a medical condition. Big thumbs up for the Stonegate Group!!

Terrible service from bar staff

Food was absolutely shocking ordered chicken sub was beyond dry and soggy chips. Place was very busy but not an excuse for disgusting toilets

Went this evening for food and drinks staff were lovely but that's all I can say about the visit. Firstly the women's toilets were absolutely disgusting then the food arrived the worst thing I've ever tasted order a chicken sub with chips. The roll was beyond dry as was the chicken and soggy cold chips won't be visiting again

Nice bar, good atmosphere, drinks not too expensive.

Not bad for away fans to have a early drink before any Manchester United match.

We visited and ordered off of the app to the table as advised by door staff, it wasn't particularly busy so that surprised us. Went to the bar instead and got served within minutes, then when we found somewhere to sit decided to use the app for our next drink and food. Food arrived and was really tasty and hot, however the drinks still hadn't arrived ONE HOUR LATER. Waitress said there's a backlog on the orders. We went to the bar to speed things up and the orders were not served in any order - just a scrambled pile of tickets on the bar! Ours was dug out near the bottom and order was served. We quickly supped up and left. Huge shame really.

Brilliant bar in the centre of printworks. The staff are a credit. Whether you want to go for somewhere for sports they've got the biggest projector in town, a bite to eat or drinks before and after an arena show - they've got everything covered and are super friendly and helpful 10/10 be going back

The temperature in the bar made it uncomfortable. Only had one drink with my coat on then left.

Service staff were good. However, we booked to watch boxing but was seated on table that didn't have sight of screen showing full program card so had to move. Chef was not prepared to accept steak cooking choice from menu options as didn't agree with that choice! So I had to have cooked to chef's preference!! Chef might like chewy medium rare, I dont!

Bar in print works. It's a bit dull inside

First time in Manchester would go again good buzz wish could of stayed longer

We walked into hardback we couldn't eat for a hour. We walked straight in here and eaten straight away it was busy but they 10/10

Food was OK. Quite cold in there.

Loads of fun, all under one roof

I live nipping in here after my over an hour tram ride from rochdale. Nothing more to say

Very quiet when I visited at 6pm on Thursday (which I didn't mind) good choice of beers and quick service

Lovely door men! Too many stairs to toilet. And not keen on high stools.

Great bar for watching the F1. Food is good, choice of seating upstairs is great, and lots of drinks available. Women's toilets were very messy unfortunately, however this seemed to be a one-off, as it's been fine on previous visits. Will still visit again

Great pub good music good atmosphere

The food tasted like it was kept warm then served worst food in there normally excellent.

Went this weekend great night dj, food was great earlier in the day, just had a really nice time

Came out for drinks before the Chicks at the arena, great venue, food and drink was brilliant and good prices and offers. They had music from the band playing before to get us in the mood as well. Great atmosphere and will definitely be back!

Incredible service from Emma, she's always very polite and smiley whenever I pop in for a quick drink. Highly recommended having the 2-for-1 Strawberry Daiquiris.

I came in for a couple of drinks with my friends drinks are very reasonable prices, staff are amazing so helpful. Had a great time

Had a wonderful time came in before heading to the England and fir a quick bite to eat, food was great and very quick

Very large two story pub with lots of television screens. Prices were very reasonable for lunch specials that you can upgrade to include alcohol for an extra pound . We visited at lunch and it was not busy and the service was excellent and our food orders came out quickly.

Great place for somewhere resealable cheap and quick service. Dan and Amy were on the ball and served us with a smile couldn’t ask for more.
