  “After being disappointed at The Midland. Finding out all cocktails are ready mixed, tasting awful and some not even available, we walked over to The Anthologist. What a difference. Greeted with a smile and cocktails made by mixologist at the bar. No disappointment here! Live music too but not too loud. Definitely will be coming here again so won't even bother again with The Midland. Every cloud! 😊”

  “Called for a pre theatre meal this evening. We were seated quickly and the table was spacious. The server was attentive friendly. Although busy the restaurant wasn't too noisy. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Only issue, they automatically add a service charge to the bill and a ' donation ' to a local charity (fine with the latter). The service charge they added was less than the service charge (tip) we would have left. It's annoying when places do this as really tops should be discretionary.”

  “Lovely place with delicious food and great drinks! I absolutely loved the duck bao. Eat it without regrets. If you are either Brazilian or find yourself craving for some Latin American taste, ask for their Caipirinha! It's not on the menu, but I have the photo to prove they not only have it, but they actually know how to prepare it and take out their legitimate Cachaça Sagatiba to bring this proper Brazilian treat to life in the heart of windy Manchester! Tottaly recomend it. ;)”

  “Title: Fantastic experience, but a bit pricey for regular visits We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience! It was engaging, well-organized, and definitely something we’d love to do more often. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was great, and it was overall a fantastic way to spend time. However, we felt that £80 was a bit on the high side for what was offered, and we think £55 would be a more reasonable price for the value provided. It would make it easier to enjoy it regularly, which we’d love to do! If the price could be adjusted to something more affordable, we’d be back without hesitation”

  “Honestly, I have been to this place 15 times in the past year. The service is incredible, like super incredible: they treat you so politely and considerately - I assume the staff are paid well because they seem so happy. They have recently changed their menu over the past year - new chef or something, too! The food has only improved as a result. The location and layout is perfect for couples, groups, business meetings and any kind of occasion. They adapt, the mood adapts, the service adapts. I eat here, here I will remain - FOREVER!”

  “Called in for one cocktail on a Saturday afternoon, stayed for a few more, all down to Anne-Marie behind the bar. She made me the most perfect dirty martini ever and was so lovely. I’ll defo be going back.”

  “We did a margarita cocktail class at The Anthologist with friends to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a great experience. Anne-Marie was an amazing host — super knowledgeable, welcoming, and all-round fun, which really set the tone for the night. She kindly apologised that there was a private function a bit later on and asked if we’d be happy to do the class in an hour and a half instead. Honestly, it was more than enough time and didn’t feel rushed at all. One of our friends wasn’t drinking alcohol, and they were offered a lovely pineapple mixer instead, which made them feel just as included — a really thoughtful touch that we all appreciated. We had a fantastic night, learnt loads, drank great margaritas, and laughed a lot. Would definitely recommend for birthdays or a fun night out with friends! 🍹🎉”

  “I recently visited this lovely restaurant in central Manchester, and I was genuinely impressed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious — truly chef’s kiss! Every dish was full of flavour, and the drinks and cocktails were just as amazing. The staff were friendly, approachable, and made the whole experience even better. From start to finish, everything was spot on. I’d happily give this place five stars and will definitely be returning!”
