Stuck In Manchester - spec me entertainment

[da_mic_1530]

Howdy all,

Being sent to Manchester on business and therefore have 4 evenings to kill....by myself

I'm staying at

Manchester City Centre (Portland Street)

I'm looking for bars and places to eat that I won't look like a prat sat by myself.

The missus will be joining me for one night, so I also need a nice Italian for that night.

Finally what else is there to do? Cinemas etc?

Cheers in advance

Could you have a look for my hub caps? It'll kill some time and i want them back

Have a nice trip.

Gauchos for steak.

Do you have a car?
Tatton Park
Dunham Park
Chill Factore - indoor snow slope - skiing, boarding and other snow realted stuff
Trafford Centre - shopping, eating, movies, 10 pin bowling, video arcade, mini fun fair.

During the day, coffee and cakes from Northteapower. A really nice coffee shop I've recently discovered.

Some good chinese buffets on (and just off) portland street. All you can eat for a pretty good price and you won't really look silly eating on your own as loads of people do it in them.

go to the "Moon under Water" on Deansgate, I would like a second opinion because I am of thethought that this is quite possibly the world's worst pub

I'll see your Moon Under Water on Deansgate and raise you... the Moon Under Water in WIGAN.

Oh god that is a terrible place, that goes for Wigan in general as well

I'm not absolutely against either of these pubs. One pub I would like to put forward for "worlds worst" though is The Piccadily/wetherspoons in Piccadily gardens, jeebus!!

Oh christy yes! I've been in there before.....once....and left very quickly. I don't know at what time during the day it's worse; in the evening when it is full of 90% scum on from 10am onwards when it is full of the scum of scum!

P.s. OP, go to The Piccadily/wetherspoons in Piccadilly gardens, it's a great little place.

I don't have access to a car, but great suggestions so far, I can ski to a passable level so will look into that!

Dont you know that Manchester is awful, there is own 2 restaurants and it always rains?




Seriously though, places like PrintWorks/Deansgate are good for food etc

If you like Indian food, then East is East, which is just across the Deansgate & Market street junction is very nice. There's also another nearer to Portland street, but I'm unsure as to where.
