Font - Speisekarte

On a cold, wet winter's evening where do you go for cheap food and drink before going to the Cornerhouse? The Font while all the students have gone home to mum and dads for Christmas. I used to come here a lot as a student and finding my friends dragging me back here as an adult. This place now looks quirky and it always seems busy despite being on two floors. Not do much a student place as there are people of all ages. Be aware of any drunks who get carried away with the £2 cocktails on offer. The food is plentiful too for the price. We got a mixture of burgers, mac and cheese, vegetarian something for everyone. Cheap and cheerful. What's not to like about this place.

first time was with two girl friends to finish off our girl's day out around manchester! we all chose the font g.t cocktail it was so tasteful! loved the dried strawberries that were topped off on the drink it was such a nice first drink since i got to manchester! my friends shared a large curly fry which we got half off with a coupon! second time was for a society meet up! this time my friend i tried beer which was good in its own way! our society filled up the whole bar so the line was probably so full, but we came early got our food/drinks before the rush! overall the experience was great! i love the decor it's not too dark or loud! i'll definitely come back for another girl's night or ju...

Been here only a couple times. Its has a very student y feel. This is no doubt because of the cheap cocktails. I had heard the cocktails were cheap, but not £2 cheap!! It has a selection of about 10 cocktails for £2. They have many others just a little bit more than that. In fact the most expensive cocktail I think is £5 or £6. And although the cocktails are not the best in the world, they are not too bad for such as cheap price although maybe taste a little watered down. The place is pretty big so you have a decent chance of grabbing a table to sit down. When I came here on a Monday, the bar was quite busy when we arrived but quietened down quickly. Most of the staff had to refer to cheat s...

Wow what a blast from the past. I was a regular in Font in my University days and now I remember why! £2 for a cocktail... Okie dokie. For a Tuesday night after a Yelp event at Pancho 's I found myself ordering a few cocktails and beers in here. It is just as I remembered, split out over 2 levels it has plenty of seating, a varied cocktail menu (From £2 £6!! Cheap as chips! and it still has that 'studenty ' vibe which was nice for a while, although I did start to feel a little old towards the end of the night when the place was filled with under 20 's. It 's a friendly and fun bar, and from what I 'm told does really nice food too. I probably won 't pop into Font much, those days for me have...

I've been to this Font for cocktails a few times. I came with a friend on a Friday night recently. The cocktails were very weak with barely any alcohol in it, but tasted really good. I loved the coconut liqueur in blue Hawaiian. The chicken burger was a let down as the chicken piece was very small. The curled chips were a lot nicer than normal chips nicer than the burger to be fair, although the curled chips added extra 50p which the barman didn't tell me until I agreed to swap normal chips to curled one was about to pay. I had the strawberries cream cocktail for 2 quid which served as a dessert. This place is usually full of university students at term time. It was quite busy in July too wi...

I can understand why Font appears to have a really mixed bag of reviews as it's probably not most people's cup of tea if they don't fancy a predominantly studenty crowd. My friends and I really like it here though, as it offers cheap, decent drinks, good food and great music, so it's perfect as a pre gig venue if you're off to the nearby Ritz. The regular rotation of the beers means there's usually an eclectic mix of local breweries. Its reputation as a bit of a beer mecca is so good in fact that it features in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide. There are lots of cocktails available at cheap as chips prices alongside wines and spirits aplenty. I've only eaten here once but the portions are hearty yet...

I need to start off saying that I think I 'll be a regular of the Font. Cocktails literally start at £2 and cap off at £5, making this a hot spot for potential evenings out after uni (although I didn 't notice the cocktail menu until after I ordered . Additionally, my first love is typography and with a name like the Font, of course my interest is instantly piqued in giving this spot a go. Somehow, I managed to walk in right as the staff was undergoing training on mastering the beer tap. Perhaps they were even bringing in a new selection of craft brews? Either way, one of the staff quickly hopped up and met me at the bar to take my order. She was extremely knowledgeable on current selection...

How? Why? What? So many questions about the price of this place. Cheap and cheerful is probably the best way to describe it. The cocktails indeed start at £2, however if you're expecting more than a measure of spirit you may want to look away now. I had a nice English Collins, the White Russian was also good, but it's all very straightforward. There's also a good beer selection on draft and in bottle/can (my friend was surprised to see a Swedish beer only usualy found in the Alcohol Monopoly stores, but there's also a lot of the UK and international breweries, new and old). Hackney's Howling Hops had a big tap presence as part of a takeover, but with about a dozen kegs and 4/5 casks there's...

The last thing anyone wants to do post holiday is jump straight into Tesco and start planning your meals for the week ahead; you want to keep that holiday feeling going for as long as possible. After weighing up the numerous brunch lunch options Manchester has to offer, we decided on The Font old faithful. It wasn't particularly busy when we arrived but people started to pile in around 1pm (Bank Holiday hangovers, perhaps... so we had our pick of the tables upstairs. After a few days of drinking generic European lager, I went for a Magic Rock Highwire Grapefruit the drink which started my new found love for beer and it really hit the spot. Food wise, the other half couldn't see much further...
