Head down to The Laundrette for cocktails and carbs galore

Head down after work and spend the afternoon sipping on classic cocktails as well as a couple of less common libations. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, ask for the Rasberri Flossi, which is made up of Drambuie, Limoncello, apple, cream and grenadine then finished with a ball of candy floss. The Marshmallow Colada is in another league. One drink here might turn into five but hey, who’s counting? Carbs soak it up.

Try hotdogs on your pizza at Crazy Pedros

 

Whether you’re hankering for a classic or want to push the boat out and try something new, this place has got you covered. It’s what do you get when you cross an Italian pizza joint with an American diner. It’s wacko and we love it. Get yourself down today so you can enjoy Pedro’s World Famous Hot Dog Pizza with its beer-soaked frank, American cheese, crispy onions, French mustard and ketchup and not even feel bad about it. If you’re heading out tonight, Crazy Pedros serve pizzas until 4am. Result.

What else but a burger at the very famous Almost Famous GN

Considered the first iconic burger playground in Manchester, this place is the original dirty. An institution. In Manchester, they’re not almost famous, they’re actually famous. So much so, they make up their own ingredients. Get yourself down and try the Blame it on the Vodka topped with cheese, double pepperoni, the famous bacon bacon fries, wonder onions, jalapeno, red onion, pickle, bacon ketchup (yes, you read that right), and dynamite (no, not that kind). Head to the biggest venue at Great Northern Warehouse.

Sample the hipper than average chippy at Kosmonaut

The Hip Hop Chip Shop started its life as a funky mobile trailer with the sole aim of differentiating itself from overpriced and menu-limited chip shops. This self-proclaimed untraditional chippy which is now open permanently in Kosmonaut in the Northern Quarter, serves up pun-tastic dishes like the Feastie Boys – battered fish biters, chips, minty mushy peas and tartare sauce. With a name like Feastie Boys, frankly it’d be rude not to try it.

Nose dive into a Candy Mountain Shake at Dive NQ

Creme De Framboise, strawberry coulis, vanilla gomme, vanilla ice cream, full cream milk, whipped cream, mini marshmallows, strawberry wafer, jelly beans and hundreds and thousands overflowing from a jar of milkshake heaven for a measly £8.
