Lammars
This
hidden away bar in Piccadilly Basin, named after Manchester
legend Frank 'Foo Foo' Lammar, has quickly become one
of the most popular bars in town.
Comfy
leather couches to lounge around, wooden floors and
lots of interesting decor give it an inviting character.
An ultra chic yet totally informal venue, Lammars is
as friendly and as well-loved as Foo Foo himself.
The
Northern Quarter bohemian gem, the winner of last year's
ManchesterBars.com Best Bar in Manchester award, came
close to retaining the award this time around too.
From
the 2924 votes cast by ManchesterBars.com readers throughout

The
Briton's Protection
With
a choice of over 150 whiskies and bourbons, cask ales
and fine wines it’s not hard to see why the Briton's
Protection polled the most votes for Best Pub in the
whole of the Greater Manchester region.
From
the outside it looks like a small uninviting pub but
inside it’s a warm, friendly, tardis like boozer
with rooms going off in all directions with a huge mural
on the wall depicting the Peterloo Masacre. There’s
even a secret beer garden at the back.

~ Old Nag's Head
Last
year's winner of Best Pub in Manchester polled loads
of votes again this year. The local used in Cold Feet
boasts many pool tables, a jukebox and a roof terrace
