  “A lovely quiet spot to have a drink in the evening sun. Leo, the barman, was lovely: welcoming me to his home city and giving tips. Thanks Leo! Didn't have food so can't comment”

  “I attended a SKA Party event and this venue was ideal. The door staff were very helpful and the event was well run. There was options to go downstairs for a bar and dance floor. Upstairs for another bar, seating area, a small stage and an outside large seating area. Perfect for a summer event. I would recommend this venue.”

What a let down same music up stairs which was FREE!!!!! Only difference was there was a small dance floor down stairs. no where to sit!!! Over sell of tickets clearly …..DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY”

  “Came yesterday for the northern soul day , the poor bar staff were absolutely run off their feet . Supervisor man just walking around with blue roll . The bar staff were so lovely especially the upstairs staff . Half hr wait for a drink is ridiculous . Not the bar staff fault at all on a really hot day they needed more help . Thanks though for being amazing”

  “Be aware if the bouncers! Very aggressive towards me and my mum. Physically tried to push me down the stairs, lots of other whitenesses. He only stopped because a few other bouncers stepped in to tell him to cool off. 100% would not return because of this.”

  “This one is for Sam!!! Had such a great experience at The Impossible in Manchester, and a big part of that was thanks to Sam! He was genuinely so friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He took the time to chat with us and really helped when it came to choosing drinks and his recommendations were spot on. What stood out most was how attentive and patient he was, making sure we were happy without ever being overbearing. You can tell he really cares about giving people a good experience. It made the whole night feel more relaxed and enjoyable. Big thanks to Sam for the amazing service, he’s an absolute credit to the team!”

  “Attended the '90s Day Disco' on 13th December......spent pretty much almost of it trying to get served at the bar!!!!!!!.nobody serving in order, some people ignored completely whilst ' new arrivals' were served....average of around 25 minutes to get served......one,wait being about 35 minutes, despite 3 of us at various points at the bar. Most people just left, despite having paid for tickets.....shocking...the whole thing was literally just a DJ playing some 90s songs...could have gone in many a venue similar music..for free and probably better service...complete rip off sadly.”

  “Came down to support the new ‘Le Disco’ cocktail menu launch and had a great time. The vibes were great and the drinks were even better. Big thank you to Mia for taking the time to recommend her favourites alongside helping me choose what to go for - definitely will be back to try the rest!!”

  “I attended the Impossible Theatre in the basement for the Christmas dinner of the company I work for. The service was fast and super efficient. On arrival, we were told which numbered table we would be at. Then at the table itself, there were pieces of cardboard at each place setting with not just the person's name but also details of what starter and main course they would be having. Very impressive. None of the faffing about and people being served the wrong dish that I have experienced at similar functions and, indeed, weddings at other establishments. With the possible exception of the carrots which, to my mind, were unintentionally undercooked or accidentally al dente, the food was exceptional - really delicious. If Impossible were a standalone restaurant, I would definitely go back. For entertainment, there was a fire-eater performer. Her skills were impressive, but I was worried throughout that she would set the low ceiling above the stage on fire. Seriously. This was a distracting worry. There was also a DJ. He kept the music at a sensible volume during the meal so that people could hear each other talk. But after the meal, he just blasted it out, with the result that conversation was impossible. And I didn't understand the point of that as tables taking up the entire floor area meant that there was zero space for dancing. Then, at only three minutes to ten, the music abruptly stopped, the lights came up, and staff told us we had to go up to the public bar upstairs. The street-level bar looked as you would expect any upmarket bar to look. It was a Friday night and bustling . Impossible is located just off Deansgate and is adjacent to the Great Northern complex which houses an Odeon cinema multiplex, so if upmarket bars are your thing and you are in that part of Manchester city centre, it is worth checking out. And, some minor criticisms notwithstanding, I would absolutely recommend Impossible for a corporate function that includes a sit-down meal. Their food and service are top notch.”
