Simple is nestled at the heart of the city’s bohemian Northern Quarter, on one of Manchester’s most historical streets, Tib Street.
Established 2001, simple offers a relaxed atmosphere for eating, drinking and meeting friends. With the perfect combination of a restaurant and a bar, they offer both excellent cocktails and delicious homemade food served by staff who care. Decked out with leather booths for larger groups and smaller tables for intimate drinks and dining, Simple attracts all sorts.
Winning the Manchester Tourism Awards “Best Bar of 2012” secured their tag as one of the Northern Quarter’s most highly acclaimed bars.
Happy Hour (4pm-8pm, Monday to Friday) makes Simple even more affordable as you can grab a house cocktail for £4.50 and a bottle of house wine for £8.95.
Simple’s cocktail masterclasses are also a massive hit and are always the hot ticket in the Northern Quarter, not forgetting their cocktail of the week, which also seems to be in high demand. Don’t expect you’re ordinary range of drinks at Simple though; their ‘Hard Shakes’ are a massive crowd-pleaser and offer something different to the trendy Northern Quarter crowd.
If you enjoy good food, good cocktails and a little fun, then head down to this Northern Quarter gem.

"Whilst Simple has been around longer than most in the Northern Quarter and moreorless sets the tone for the area as a whole, it is safe to say that it would be just as much at home in New York City or many of Europe's capitals than in Manchester. What has remained one of the most bustling bars in Manchester city centre for the past 10 years is also a casual restaurant with a New York inspired menu, famous for its Sunday lunch which includes waffles, Blueberry Pancakes, Smoked Salmon Bagels and Great British Roasts.
Fashionable locals and after work diners alike dive into appealing a la carte dishes like Smithfield Chicken, Corned Beef Hash, Greenmarket Pie and the vast choice of burgers, as well as the amazing prix fix deal on sandwiches and salads.
The food is incredibly impressive, especially at such reasonable prices and for a venue which owes more of a nod to cafe culture than the more formal restaurant setting you'd normally have to visit for such quality.
It's not hard to see why Simple has remained a Mancunian icon for the past 10 years." ~Restaurants of Manchester (November 2010)
