Quick info
About BLVD Manchester
On The Avenue North in Spinningfields, BLVD Manchester is a bar built around Saturday bottomless brunch, where a set time slot of food and drinks runs alongside Caribbean-flavoured dishes and a DJ, and the brunch table turns into a dance floor as the set continues. Table service brings drink and food orders to the room, and a bill or last-orders warning tends to arrive before the slot officially ends rather than right at the finish. Beef sliders sit on the menu among the food on offer. A private room is available for bookings and parties, suited to group gatherings. Doormen are on hand during busier periods, and seating near the bar runs on the small side. Dogs are welcome on site. Beyond the Saturday sessions, the venue carries its cocktail and club-night format into after-hours service.

Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch dominates the feedback and splits opinion sharply. Several describe slow rounds, bills dropped well before their time slot ended, and food like the chicken called small, bland, and microwave-tasting; one reviewer reports finding plastic in a drink and receiving only an apology with no replacement or follow-up after emailing. Others had the opposite experience, praising the beef sliders and cocktails, an attentive server, and staff who kept drinks flowing quickly. Private and corporate bookings draw particular praise, with organizers describing flexible staff who arranged themed food menus and branded cocktails. Reviewers also flag drinks as expensive for what's delivered and note cramped bar seating. Ambience and the DJ get repeated mentions as highlights, though one visitor felt the layout and toilets didn't suit a larger private event. Several say they'd return despite the brunch complaints; others explicitly would not recommend it.

“Worst bottomless brunch in Manchetser!! Awful drinks, tasteless food and shocking service. Sent an email 3 times after our visit as nothing done on the night and never heard back, shows how much the company care. Strongly advise everyone to AVOID”

“We went for a bottomless brunch as a party of ten. When we first sat down, there was one bottle of Prosecco to be shared between ten of us (this didn’t go far). We ordered our first round of drinks, but these didn’t arrive until we already had our starters. A second round was ordered and again, these didn’t come until our mains arrived. After the mains were cleared, another few rounds were ordered, but taking longer than expected to arrive. With about 20 minutes to go, another order was taken, which never came. Another member of staff then came to take another order, which again, never came. The bill came and we questioned where the last round of drinks were. We were made aware that our tab had already been closed, despite it not being at the end of our time slot. In all, I must have had four drinks, which is not worth the money paid at all. The food served was also sub par. The majority of the group ordered the chicken, which was small, bland and tasted as if it had come from a microwave. I don’t think anyone on the table finished it. It’s a shame that this brunch didn’t live up to expectations. Would not recommend.”

“Went to bottomless brunch there on Saturday and would not recommend to anyone. Awful start to finish, slow service, brought our bill over 30 minutes before we were meant to finish. Sat with empty glasses multiple times and had to ask the waiter to take drinks order. Was served 5 drinks for an hour and a half could have had so many more if they had actually been onto of the service, was not that busy that it had to be that slow. Found plastic in my drink and got an apology that’s all didn’t replace my drink or any resolution either, I have sent an email this week and had no response. Clearly shows there idea of customer service, the same which was received on the day. Unprofessional, awful, slow. Do not recommend.”
