The Blues Kitchen Manchester

There's a great soundtrack that continues to play in this place.

Popped in for a quick afternoon bite on a trip into town so no live music at the time.
Had the ox cheek nuggets... Damn they were good. Little explosions of tender pulled meat in crispy coating. Fries were good - hot and crispy but perhaps portion a little small for a fiver! Really friendly service!

Perhaps a few more choices for draught beer wouldn't hurt. Camden Hells but not Camden Pale?!

Need to come back during live music - can imagine has a great atmosphere.

What a great place! Every table was taken, so shows its popularity. Even though it was busy it was well staffed and run really well by attentive and friendly staff . The decor and the feel of the place was a definite vibe. We ate there but there was also seating at the front for drinks only. The food was nice enough. ( We had chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger)No complaints. Would definitely recommend and would return as we just loved the feel of the place. We weren’t there when the live music was on but there was a stage where they regularly have people playing.

What a vibe! First step in the door, and the staff smiled and immediately made us feel welcome. Food was delicious and cocktails only £6 on fridays. We didn’t have time for dessert and we mentioned we celebrated birthdays this week, and was given dessert to take home. Imogen was super friendly and made time to chat with us! Great addition to your team! Give her a raise or promotion 🤪 The band who played was also great! Visited on 30/05. Also the interior , is crazy cool.

Great service!

Barrel beer can flat twice but something must have been wrong with the pump. Didn’t charge so all good.

Wings to start were ok, nothing extraordinary not special. Quite think on the meat. Tina tostadas were great as usual.

Chopped salad was fab. Fried chicken , gravy and fries again were maybe not different to a middle ground chicken shop. A lot of batter, minimal chicken. Gravy was cold and chips tasted like they had been half fried, then re fried. Hard and not crispy.

Service was excellent as usual.

So I was in Town to pick up my Wife from a business trip in Oxford and she decided she wanted to go out for tea so after abit of uncertainty we decided to head to The Blues Kitchen as my Wife had wanted to go for ages.

So we didn't book and just turned up we parked up round the corner(As parking is limited around Quay Street) we were warmly greeted by a hostess who seated us in a booth and after a few minutes the waitress came and took our drinks order so I opted for a pint of Lager and my Wife opted for a glass of pint Noir.

Drinks arrived well presented, crisp and went down a treat shortly after a waitress brought us a jug of Ice water for the table so then several minutes later the waitress came and took our food my Wife wasn't starving but fancied something to eat so she opted for a large portion of Buffalo Chicken Wings with a blue dip sauce and I ordered the fried Chicken 🍗 🐔 fries and gravy.

We had to wait several minutes for the food but my God was it worth it, I have never tasted Chicken so good in my life, Honestly the chicken was amazing, decent portion size, The chicken was tender, juicy and the flavours were out of this world 🌎, The fries and gravy were also very tasty.

My Wife really enjoyed her Buffalo Chicken wings with blue cheese sauce again they were spicy yet tender and so juicy and succulent, We both cleaned our plates and decided to order another round of drinks I opted for a Mojito cocktail 🍸and my Wife opted for a double baileys over ice 🧊.

Service was great, polite and friendly staff, Excellent drinks, Limited food menu but the Chicken 🐔 is absolutely amazing, Restaurants was spotlessly clean, Quirky interior as the restaurant used to be a eye hospital back in the Olden days, Drinks ranging from non alcoholic to cocktails to beers to spirits to soft drinks etc.

Bill was £75 but we rounded it up to £90, The restaurant has live music 🎶 most nights and fantastic experience and we will definitely be back.
