Description

Step into Cane & Grain and let the city fade at the door. This lively Manchester pitstop serves bold American-inspired plates — sticky ribs, truffle poutine and generous pulled beef fries — alongside a thoughtful cocktail and whisky list. Warm, timbered rooms and a hidden upstairs lounge lend personality and cheeky character, while group-friendly layouts and buffet options make it a favourite for birthdays and get-togethers. Expect hearty portions, memorable drinks and a bar that feels like a proper local escape.

Mixed reviews: guests praise Cane & Grain's atmosphere, cocktails, big portions and private lounge, but note occasional service inconsistency, brusque door staff and a limited downstairs cocktail list.

The short beef rib on the bone was good, but could be improved with some extra bbq sauce, which cost an additional £1.50. The pulled beef fries were tasty and came in a large portion.

4 drinks for £28 and adding a sneaky £4 tip on top at the bar. Out of order that. If you like being ripped off this place is for you, if you don't don't bother

Worst staff I’ve ever come across. Stopped by for a drink with friends, never have I come across staff so arrogant, won’t be calling in again.

If you enjoy being treated poorly, this is the place for you. The bouncers are obnoxious, and the bar staff is rude. That's about it.

Friendly staff. Nice cocktails. Handsome bars staff. I'm happy
