Quick info
About The Local Lounge
The Local Lounge is a restaurant and bar in Manchester, on Albert St, finished in black and gold. Live singers, quiz nights and themed events run alongside the food, so the room suits a night out as well as a meal. The kitchen serves a roast with beef and lamb options, homemade Yorkshire puddings and gravy, and sauces on request, including horseradish, mint, apple and cranberry. Afternoon teas and sharing platters give groups other ways to order, and a dessert platter closes the menu for those who want something sweet. The bar pours cocktails and Guinness. When a DJ takes the decks, the playlist is soul and funk classics.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the Sunday roast, singling out the home made Yorkshire puddings, the roast beef and the gravy, with one praising the lamb. Portions are described as plentiful, the plates as hot and well presented, and several call the value reasonable. Close behind are the cocktails and the guinness, plus the tapas and a dessert platter, while one reviewer mentions a chocolate fudge cake that was massive. Staff draw steady praise as friendly and attentive, with reviewers describing the bar and waiting team checking in throughout and offering recommendations. The atmosphere comes up as brilliant, with a DJ playing old skool soul and funk, and one reviewer notes the room was packed. No recurring complaints appear. One family recalls staff rearranging furniture so a pram could sit beside the table, and another describes a child with a restricted diet choosing freely from the menu and being rewarded with an ice cream after finishing his meal.

“We went for a meal at The Local Lounge and were really impressed. The food was excellent quality and exceptionally good value for money, especially for the price. There were four of us, and every dish was well presented & fresh. It honestly felt like we got much more than we paid for. As soon as we sat down, Bonnie came over to take our drinks order. Bonnie checked in on us throughout the meal and was super friendly and professional. We’ve only ever visited later on weekends for drinks, but after such great food at such a reasonable price, we’ll definitely be back again.”
