About This Pub

Ah, Bunny Jacksons – what a spot it is in Manchester! I've got to say, walking into this place feels like stepping back into a classic dive bar that knows exactly what it's about, and honestly, it's refreshing in a world of fancy venues. The wings are hands down one of the highlights; they're perfectly crisp and saucy, with loads of flavours to choose from, and at such reasonable prices, you can go wild without worrying about the bill. The staff are just lovely, always friendly and making sure everyone's having a good time, which really makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. Plus, with a great lineup of drinks like American whiskey and beers, it's ideal for sinking into a chat with friends over a few rounds. But, let's be real, it's not without its downsides – the decor is a bit dim and sticky, which adds to the charm for some but might not suit everyone, especially if you're after something a little more upscale. And while the wings shine, other bits like the onion rings can be a tad too greasy, leaving you with that slight regret. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a genuine, lively pub experience in Manchester – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're up for some honest fun, but maybe skip it if you're in a more refined mood.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The dive bar vibe is spot on – it's got that dim, sticky charm with neon signs and loud chatter that makes you feel right at home, especially if you're missing a proper old-school spot.
  • The wings are an absolute winner; they're crispy, saucy, and come in a brilliant range of flavours, all at prices that won't break the bank.
  • Staff are top-notch – friendly, down-to-earth, and always up for a chat, which really adds to the welcoming feel.
  • A cracking selection of drinks, like genuine American whiskey, beers, and more, perfect for a relaxed night out.
  • It's open seven days a week with late hours, so you can pop in anytime from midday till the early hours for a good time.
Cons
  • The ambiance might be a bit too dive-y for some tastes – think dated decor and a sticky feel that could put off anyone after something a tad more polished.
  • Some of the food, like the onion rings, can be overly greasy, which might leave you feeling a bit let down after the hype.
  • It's unapologetically casual, so if you're in the mood for a fancy evening, this probably isn't the place to go.

Bunny Jackson’s in Manchester is unapologetically dive bar and they own that brand, and I didn’t realise how much I would miss a spot like this till I walked in. From the dim, sticky ambiance and dated decor to their neon signs with the loud chatter and cheap drinks, this place knows it’s a dive bar and wears it proudly. There are even signs that say things like we are sticky and messy, we got a dog, we are loud and we don’t care if you care. And it’s packed even on a weekday. But here’s the best thing about this place is the chicken wings. They are the cheapest wings I have seen yet are the best I have had in the country. I saw folks walk in solo just for the wings and bar food. The drinks and beers are wallet-friendly too, They’ve got over tap beers plus shots for when you want to get the party going. In the end , Bunny Jacksons is dive bar at its finest, and I will be back next time I am in Manchester.

I would say I’m quite an easy person who always gives out 5 star reviews, but this place is definitely a 10 out of 10 (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) We just walked past at the lunch hours and saw bunch of people having wings in the outdoor dining area which seems pretty cool and the wings look amazing so we popped in. I have ordered a classic flavour of boneless wings and my friend had the JD honey & mustard flavoured one. It was served hot and crispy, absolutely delicious! Most amazing part is the fried with old bay mayo, which surprisingly match and I really enjoyed it a lot. 😆

The wings are delicious and have a perfect balance of crisp and saucy. There is a wide variety of flavours to pick from, all of which deserve to be tasted and cater to different tastes. All the while, the prices are affordable. The atmosphere is unmatched, and the decor fits with it seamlessly and helps enhance the unique feel of the bar. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes wings and doesn't mind getting a but messy for some delicious food. P.S. The 'Hotter Than the Sun' wing is also a fun challenge to attempt when going with friends as long as you are willing to be on the verge of tear for 10 minutes.

Rock Music ..Check Great Staff.. Check Best American Whiskey...Check Wings to die for...Check. That pretty much sums up Bunny Jacksons. Superb, no, epic wings you've ever had, in a wild range of flavours. Beers, Bourbon, Corn, Rye, genuine Whiskey from the USA. All supported with down to earth, epic staff. Can not fault at all.

So glad I did my research and found this place when visiting Manchester! Wings were delicious and come in a few flavours! Also ordered the onion rings which were a little too greasy but the pickle dip was definitely unique! Service was lovely, staff are very friendly. Overall vibe of the place was nice too! The swamp dog cocktail was good to try! Very different choice of cocktails which was great 😊
