Salford Quays Bars

Lime sits at the heart of Salford Quay's cultural center, just outside the Lowry Outlet Mall and Theatre. Offering a global menu, affordable drinks and outside seating, there's no better place to use as a base whilst exploring the Quays, or as a starting point for a bar crawl around the area. 

Laid-back Craftbrew does exactly what it says on the tin: serve up quaffable beer and coffee. Head over during the day for a tasty selection of sarnies and coffee sourced from Italy, while after work, turn your attention to the long list of craft beers on tap.

Salford's proper pub comes in the form of The Dockyard, a homely venue that serves up burgers, beers and ciders. Close to the BBC's headquarters, this spot is popular with the after-work crowd, especially when their pop-up shipping container bar opens outside, right next to the water.

Housed inside a striking building in the heart of MediaCityUK, The Alchemist is one of the best bars in Salford. Fronting a unique selection of innovative cocktails, and delicious menu of internationally-inspired eats, it's perfect for a few after work drinks, or as a full night out destination.

Part of the Lowry Theatre and Gallery, Pier Eight is a large and spacious restaurant that provides pre-theatre dining in style. Food is an easy take on British dining, including dishes such as lamb rump with gnocchi, feta, and pomegranite.
