Quick info
About Lux Lounge
Lux Lounge on Barlow Moor Rd is a bar serving Turkish cuisine and shisha, with a halal kitchen and an adults-only floor. Table service brings staff around to check on customers, and the counter can also take orders and payment directly at the bar. The food runs from chicken wings and chips to a homemade cheesecake for dessert, and the shisha list comes with staff recommendations for flavors and combos. Evenings on Friday and Saturday draw the busiest crowds. ID may be requested at the door, and food or drink from outside is not permitted inside.

Customer Review Summary
Shisha draws the most consistent praise, repeatedly called smooth, flavorful, and among the best in the city, with staff frequently singled out for walking guests through flavor choices. Close behind, the atmosphere gets called stylish and chilled, especially on weekend nights, and several mention attentive, responsive service, with one reviewer describing being accommodated past closing and given a free homemade cheesecake. Food reviews split more: some call it fresh and delicious, while one reviewer found it bland and overpriced, and another reports paying around fifty five pounds for a single shisha, chicken wings, chips and a coke, calling it an "absolute rippage." A separate reviewer describes being made to pay directly at the bar while other customers weren't, and felt the attitude from staff was insulting and unwelcoming. One review notes food can be "hit and miss" despite the strong atmosphere.

“I’ve been to most shisha places in Manchester and LUX LOUNGE is by far the best one. The shisha is proper top quality and the drinks are spot on too. The place itself is really nice, clean and has a good vibe. Everyone who works there is friendly and professional. From the owner to the staff, they all treat you well. Hazim who manages it is always around. He actually comes to your table to check everything’s alright. Sidra and Asma are brilliant too, always helpful and make sure you’re looked after. If you want the best shisha in Manchester with good service try Lux Lounge 🫠 Highly Recommended 👍🏻”
