Quick info
About Wilson´s Manchester
Wilson´s Manchester is a bar on Oldham St in the Northern Quarter, built around an internal courtyard. Bottomless brunch gives the bar a morning crowd, while live music, DJs and a quiz night fill out the entertainment. A comedy club night is also hosted here, and the venue sits next to a comedy club on the corner. The food menu covers brunch and lunch dishes, including a salmon, feta and avocado bagel with whipped feta, shakshuka from the morning menu, and a buffalo chicken burger served with fries. Cocktails and a large selection of beer sit alongside the kitchen. The bar also runs as a late-night venue for groups who want to carry on after dinner.

Customer Review Summary
Diners return most for the salmon, feta and avocado bagel, praised for its presentation and whipped feta. Close behind are the buffalo chicken burger, the steak frites and a blue cheese chimichurri steak, with honey cake, brioche French toast, shakshuka and a crisp apple draught cider also named. Bar staff are called friendly and quick, and one regular gets a hot chocolate made on request. Evenings are described as bustling but not too loud. Service is the recurring weak point: one party stood at the door unseated, got menus only when they asked, then left after nobody took their order, while another waited a long time for lunchtime drinks. One reviewer found it passable but lacking character, and another disliked the default 12.5% tip on the bill. After a food order mix up, one table received a generous discount.

“Fantastic bar, just next to a comedy club on the corner. Location is great. Lots of indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating also. The food was fantastic. Milo, behind the bar, was super helpful and told me about the beers on draft and recommended me several options. We sat outside, and here's a photo of my lager. 10/10 location, food, and service. I recommend and will be back again.”

“The bar staff are incredible, they absolutely should be paid more. They always makes me a hot chocolate even if I want one at the most inconvenient time. Excellent customer service and good drinks, I come back every week.”

“So delicious. The brioche French toast was amazing as was the shakshuka. The atmosphere is nice early morning and service was great.”

“We were just left standing at the door to be seated as the staff stood around chatting and they even looked at us but still didn’t seat us so we just sat ourselves down and then they only gave us a menu after we asked for one. We waited another 10-15mins without anyone coming to take our order so we just left. Very poor service and wouldn’t recommend giving them your time or money”

“Wilson’s is my go to option when I want a drink without the chaotic busy atmosphere like most bars in NQ. In the evening it’s bustling but not too loud, with friendly and quick service. During the day it’s a great spot for a relaxing drink. We tried the food menu for the first time last weekend. It’s ideal that breakfast/brunch and lunch items are available until 4pm and it’s very dog friendly. The salmon, feta, avocado bagel was the most well presented bagel I’ve ever had! The whipped feta was delicious. The buffalo chicken burger and fries is also divine without being too spicy. Reasonably priced and very friendly attentive staff.”
