The Blues Kitchen Manchester

1. Celebrated a milestone at the blues kitchen. Had a private room downstairs. The room was pretty dark, which I am not a fan of while eating but was clean and tidy with plenty of room. We ordered off a set menu. However, I don’t eat meat, so I had to be given a separate menu.
   I had a spinach and artichoke cheesy dip with black nachos, which were delicious, followed by a sweet potato and pumpkin curry, which was also very nice. For dessert, I ordered a skillet cookie, which arrived and was hard as a rock. This was quickly rectified and a nice hot gooey cookie replaced it. I cannot comment on the drinks as I only had a red bull. The waiting staff where absolutely brilliant and very accommodating. The atmosphere was fine but being away from the upstairs bar and music left it feeling a little too quiet.

2. Great atmosphere and a fair priced tasty lunch.
   Service was really attentive and helpful.
   Nice selection of drinks.
   Welcoming to children of all ages.
   When food arrived it was well presented, perfectly cooked and we loved the corn and other sides.
   I found the fries unexpectedly salty although others in my party enjoyed them I struggled to eat them at all. I keep my salt levels low so impossibly more sensitive but they were so heavily seasoned with what I know now I would either avoid or ask for a low salt version.
   Brilliant lunch all things considered in a really unusual independent venue.

3. These pictures do not do the justice needed.
   From the moment you walk in, it’s like being transported back to a by-gone age, beautiful tiling everywhere.

   The bar has one of the best American and Bourbon Whiskies this side of the USA.

   If there’s a lady behind the bar called Bruna, go and speak to her about everything American, her knowledge and passion for American Whiskey is infectious, this lady could offer 1-1 sessions, so knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic.

   The food was beautiful, my pork rib just melted in the mouth, the chicken was soft, with the perfect amount of heat.

   An amazing place, and an absolute must visit place.

4. Superb! Great setting, terrific interior design and layout, fantastic food and amazing staff!
   A chance decision for dinner; not disappointed at all. We were readily accommodated (short-notice booking) and very well looked after … our waitress Anais was a wonderful host!
   Craving for a meat feast was amply satisfied.
   Would definitely go again, and again – highly recommended!

5. Came here to get some drinks with a bunch of people who attended WOMEX 2024. Music was great, band was entertaining as well. There’s a comfortable space for smoking outside as well. There’s quite a variety of cocktails and beers which is always good, but service might be a bit difficult when ordering at the bar.
