Croft NQ Bar and Kitchen in Manchester

Ah, Croft NQ Bar and Kitchen – it's one of those places that just feels like a breath of fresh air in the city centre. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is where it really shines; folks are raving about the hearty dishes like the BBQ pulled pork and fish and chips, which come out quickly and taste spot on. Pair that with the super approachable staff who make you feel right at home, and you've got a recipe for a great night out. The prices are sensible too, so you won't break the bank, and the atmosphere is just the ticket for a relaxed catch-up – think eclectic decor with chandeliers that add a bit of charm without being over the top. It's smack in the middle of things, making it a handy stop after a wander around Manchester. On the flip side, though, it's not all perfect; there have been a couple of mentions about service not quite hitting the mark every time, like a refusal for something as simple as topping up a pot of tea, which left one visitor a bit miffed and less keen to go back. Still, with so many positive vibes overall, I'd say it's worth giving it a go – just keep in mind it might have its off moments, but that's pub life for you, eh?
