About Icons Bar & Restaurant

Icons Bar & Restaurant on Bury New Rd in Manchester has a separate bar and lounge, plus a larger, darker room for live acts, with soundproof doors between the two. Tribute acts, bands and DJs perform in the larger room in the evenings, so the dancing and the drinking can happen in separate spaces. Ticketed shows come with a table, and a waitress comes round to take drink orders. Guests can come in just for drinks without booking a meal or a show, and big screens show live football and other sports. The specials menu includes Irish Stew, and the Spice Bag is also on the food list. The restaurant opens Wednesday to Sunday and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Events run through the year, including St Patrick's celebrations and a New Year event, listed on Facebook and Skiddle.

Customer Review Summary

Live entertainment is what reviewers raise most at Icons, from an ABBA tribute act and the Kingpin band to a DJ on a bank holiday Sunday and a New Year event with fire entertainment and a dancer. Several describe a separate lounge bar and a bigger room for the acts, with soundproof doors between them and a waitress taking drink orders during shows. Food gets less attention, though one reviewer singles out the Irish Stew from the specials menu and says the Spice Bag was popular, and a family describes a reasonably priced meal. Staff are repeatedly called lovely and friendly, and reviewers mention the decor, art on the walls, and a photo booth downstairs near the toilets. Big screens and live football also come up. The one cost note is mixed: a reviewer finds it expensive compared to local prices but still worth it, while others call it reasonably priced. One reviewer adds that a bottomless session was the best they have had, and another says they can just go in for drinks like any other bar.

    “We had an awesome night at ICONS. We were there providing the entertainment for their St Patrick's celebrations. The staff were great, very attentive. There was a huge selection of drinks and the food was awesome. We had the Irish Stew that was on the specials menu, but everything we saw go out looked fab, and the Spice Bag was very popular! The atmosphere was bustling and everyone so friendly. The decor is tasteful and there are plenty of opportunities for a decent selfie! The toilets are immaculate and they even have a photo booth outside so you're not bored waiting for your mate to finish touching up their makeup!! They put on loads of events throughout the year. I say GO! Grab your mates and check it out!!”
