Description
Welcome to The Anthologist Manchester, an inviting bar and restaurant in the heart of the city. Whether you’re after post-work cocktails, a laid-back weekend brunch or catching up with friends over dinner, we’ve got you covered. Settle in with plush seating, soft lighting and a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for any occasion. Our sun-drenched terrace is made for alfresco drinks in summer, and yes, we’re dog-friendly too.
Our seasonal menus are inspired by global flavours, from Napoli flatbreads to classic sirloin steaks. You’ll also find standout vegan and veggie options, a dedicated kids’ menu and pre-order platters for group get-togethers.
Cocktails are our specialty, with a spritz for every moment. From sunny summer infusions to bright and citrussy twists, our collection of seasonal spritzes is made to sip, savour and share.
Fancy a mixology class? We host those too — just one of the many ways you can escape the ordinary at The Anthologist.
