Restaurant:Bars in Manchester

[Thankyou4calling]

I’m spending a couple of days at months end in Manchester-mid week- and wanted some recommendations.

About 5 years ago I was up that way and stumbled across a lovely street a mile or two (I think) to the west of the C Centre that had several independent bars along it. Any ideas where this was?

I’m not a drinker but cocktails, chicken wings and nibbles appeals.

Eating wise I’d like either a lively place with Steak and cocktails, or one of the Korean restaurants where your table has a grill and you cook your own.

Again if they’re in a lively area all the better.

Can anyone help.

Previously I’ve been to Akbar’s and Rio Ferdinands Italian gaff.

Thanks all.

El Rincon de Rafa just off Deansgate is fab tapas. Loads of places to have cocktails around there. My favourite cocktails are at Mal Maison somewhere around Piccadilly (don't ask why I cannot remember exactly where!).

There are a few Alchemist bars in Manchester if you want 'reliably decent' cocktails I think. They're a chain but usually taste OK to my uncivilised palate..
