For lunch, we come here for one thing and one thing only. Chicken and waffles. The chicken is a lightly breaded chicken breast that’s nice and crispy, over a huge perfect round waffle with butter and maple syrup drizzled on it. It’s pretty damn satisfying if you want something sweet & savory.

I was lucky enough to find the Manchester Pub for the first time during the World Cup. During a busy happy hour, I drank good brew and ate some really tasty food with good company. The food here: amazing. The sandwiches are unlike any other pub-fare you’ll taste. The short-rib sandwich is a must. You won’t go wrong with fries or fried artichoke… or both! This place is also on Seamless and they deliver quick! Unfortunately… I watched the place be gutted by fire. But when it comes back… I highly recommend stopping in!

I came here for a pub crawl on the sutton place /upper east side one night. It was good! They had karaōke(which I believe they do every Saturday night). Unfortunately I didn’t try any food but I had a couple beers and loved that they had a couple IPA’s on tap! They also have a couple traditional UK beers on tap which I appreciate as it is a pub after all! It’s a good spot for groups, lots of tables of 8 grouped together. They also look like they have a good cocktail list to choose from if you’re not a beer drinker.

It is a very nice place. Today, it was packed with soccer fans. The fried sweet potato is a little grease. But I like the enviroment. The waitress and bartender are super nice. Will go back with friend.

I came here on a Friday evening, when I came in I almost left because it was smaller than I thought n kinda laid back but I’m glad I didn’t. The bartender was really nice and very attentive. People there were cool n the food was amazing. I had a cheese burger with an egg inside and fries. The fries were crispy and delicious… exactly how I like it. Totally come back again.

Popped in mid afternoon for a quick bite after a bad experience at a restaurant nearby. Ordered some beers, chips and guacamole, and a sandwich. Beers were cold. Food was hot and also arrived very quickly. Nothing overly impressive and the bar itself was run by one bartender/server. I’d go back if I were short on time and hungry.

For the past several weekends, the mad Russian has been tending to her teeth at the dentist, so I looked for a spot to kill some time and get a spicy Bloody Mary. I happened on Manchester pub while walking down the streets trying to catch some early Spring weather. Easily seen for its maroonish/red color on the storefront, the pub is like many you would expect– very pub-ish. There is a bar that runs along the side and many pub tables, that when combined, can sit a party of eight or so. Also, there are televisions up high so you can take in the soccer matches from any angle. Not particularly bright or modern, this a good spot to settle in with some friends for a pint and conversation. I’m adding a star for Brian, who when asked to deliver a spicy Bloody Mary, never let me down. Complete with plenty of hot sauce and horse radish topped with a carrot and celery, those drinks were the perfect«pick-me-up» on many Sunday mornings. They serve food and by the looks of it, the patrons were happy with their choices… Me? I just had my salad in the liquid and glass form– with a little vodka to spice things up.

Stopped in for a couple of Black and Tan’s in midst of a 12 mile photo walk. Grabbed a seat at the bar and was served right away. The waitress was friendly, the beer waspoured properly. I’d go back for a pint or two.

Had a couple of pints here the other day. Generally quieter than some of the other establishments on 2nd. They had a whimsical slate board that clinched stopping in. The beer selection is decent, including typical UK brands and some good crafts. The wait staff was attentive, but not overbearing. Probably a great place if you’re a fan of soccer. A clock on the wall is counting down the days to World Cup. Great place to grab a beer with friends after work.

Came in here to find a place that was a little quieter than the other spots along 2nd Avenue. Solid beer menu although they were out of the Brooklyn beer everyone really wanted. Nice service and a little more relaxed atmosphere, does the job for sure.

The only complain I have is the size of the place. Hard to get a good spot, but always great when you sit by the bar. I have seen some great Barcelona matches here… definitely a good soccer bar. Food is very good, great wings, good thick fries, friendly bartender. If you are a local, you have to stop by.

A gastro-pub has to have consistently good food AND beer. Manchester happens to have both, and a familiar, homey atmosphere. Definitely check out the happy hour and lunch specials. Lunch special: $ 7 burger(excellently prepared), $ 10 combo with beer. Their waffles are the best I’ve ever had(I like my waffles slightly sweet and crunchy).

Manchester Pub is likely misunderstood. In a neighborhood filled with lowbrow bars with«Congratulations you won the free raffle for free AYCD happy hour and half off for your friends» promotions, Manchester is overlooked or ignorantly stereotyped. And honestly I don’t blame the people who do so. Manchester’s outside veneer does look like an other bar within the area. However, if you carefully study the beer menu and events, you realize there’s so much more depth to Manchester’s character, like the leads in a Steinbeck novel. Manchester has been at the forefront of what I like to call the«good» beer revolution. They prominently stock craft beers such as Rogue, Flying Dog, Brooklyn and Abita. They host local breweries from Colorado or California for tasting sessions and feature them for months at a time. They have beer/food pairing dinners where you can explore different combinations you may have missed just drinking wine with youR Venison. This type of behavior is atypical of the standard Turtle Bay bar, which is why I believe people are missing out on a neighborhood gem.

I’ve never had chicken and waffles before, and I don’t think anything is ever going to be better than this. It was perfection. The best waffles I’ve ever had, and chicken that was fried(yes, frying takes technique) to perfection. Stopped in to watch the Wimbledon final, and the bartender was a nice guy, too. Will be coming back for more chicken and waffles action soon.

I love this Bar, I really do. Me and my best stumbled here one day during our city adventures. I usually get a serious case of the munchies when i go out to drink and this Pub is the only one where I will go out for a serious meal. Their pulled pork sandwhiches are delicious as well as their burgers, but you really need to go for their Happy hour priced wings and the Sweet Potato Fries. Their Sweet potato fries are battered in tempura and they give you a honey dipping sauce and its not only unique but crave worthy too. Its a very homely bar with very nice bartenders, I often ask them for recommendations and they love to experiment to fit your drinking needs. I usually like coming during the weekdays since its less crowded, the bar is a bit too small for crazy parties. The only complaint is that the portion size can vary when its busy, i think they sometimes have a shortage of glasses that friday night i stepped in. Also Their fish and chips are a lil bland the one time i ordered.

Not bad for Midtown! Lots of long, wooden tables in a relatively small space. Decent beer/wine selection. Didn’t try the food, but the tables/floors/etc. felt a bit too sticky/grungy for my taste. Good place to go towards the end of the night if you find yourself in the area.

Another trek through Midtown and another pub I found. I wish I was around for some of the dinner options, because after reading all of these reviews it sounds like Manchester does one hell of a job at preparing top-of-the-line pub style food. Not that lunch was bad, it just wasn’t as exciting as the other items I’m reading about. The place is pretty sweet for a sports game, it’s small but cozy and has that feeling when you walk in like«This is my man-cave». The bartender is beyond friendly and the kitchen window is right next to the bar, making sure all the food is getting out quickly and allowing the patrons to watch the kitchen handle the food. I ordered a Buffalo Chicken sandwich on a Brioche roll with a side of fries; it was pretty good. Like I said before, nothing extraordinary but it tasted great and actually had thin-cut chicken on it with a spicy buffalo sauce. I was happy to get a sandwich with some substance and creativty because I was expecting a few buffalo chicken tenders w/some weak hot sauce and smothered in gallons of blue cheese(typical bar fare pretty much). I took a picture of the sandwich on put it under their photos on their Unilocal page so people could see exactlyt what I’m talking about. Hopefully, I’ll be back in this area at some point one night so I can try some of the outstanding dinner fare I keep reading about.

Beer dinners representin’! The owners did it up last night for their Goose Island pairing dinner. The only thing not on the menu was goose itself(though we did have foie gras), but there was plenty of Goose flowing throughout the 5 courses: Sofie, Matilda, IPA, Pere Jacques, and(drumroll) Bourbon County Stout, which is sometimes hard to get in this town. All of the food was great, though my favorite was the octopus on a bed of delicious gigante beans, stuffed grape leaf, and tomato pie. Kudos to the chef and to the bar for a great evening!

Manchester Pub has occasional beer dinners. It’s a great concept. You buy a spot at a table, and they usher out a gourmet 5 course meal paired with various kinds of beer. I came for the 150th anniversary of Chimay, and we had asparagus with mustard viniagrette, hen’s egg fried celeriac with eel aioli, chopped streak with limburger, and darjeeling butter cake. The first 4 courses each paired with a different kind of Chimay, and the last with Aquavit. It was great tasting and everything ran without a hitch! Hooray Manchester Pub, for daring to be different!
