Ancoats Virtual Tour

We’ve seen the popularity of escape room games soar in recent years, and Lucardo is Ancoats’ very own answer to this activity craze. With 5 different themed rooms to choose from, there’s ample opportunity to re-visit Lucardo when you become addicted to the challenge after the first visit. Each room is amazingly themed, and each one tells a different story – it’s well worth trying out for a bit of fun! Click here to book now.

Any trip to Ancoats wouldn’t be complete without sampling one of the best pizza’s in the world. The independent restaurant makes their own fresh dough twice daily, and cook for only 60 seconds to achieve a soft and fluffy base. It’s a popular eatery and they don’t accept bookings, so be prepared to wait. We can assure you though, it’s worth the wait.

Don’t fancy a pizza? Why not fill up on some Mexican delights instead? We’re talking all the burritos, nachos and tacos you’ll ever want, right here at Mexica in Ancoats. It’s a casual dining experience with cool interior, to really give you the hip Ancoats feel. Even better, there’s a great selection of beers and cocktails on offer and a new outside seating area for when the glorious Manchester sunshine makes an appearance.

Not just your typical corner shop, Ancoats General Store stocks daily groceries as well as locally sourced produce, freshly baked bread and bottled beer from local breweries, with a great emphasis on supporting local independent businesses. You’ll find a great selection of organic and vegan food, as well as a weekly street food pop up store which opens every Thursday. You can even stop at their Coffee Bar to enjoy some locally roasted coffee and Bohea tea.

Fast food doesn’t have to be unhealthy. If you’re after a grab-and-go lunch while in Ancoats but are looking for something tasty yet healthy, Kettlebell Kitchen has you covered. Their great range of fresh, natural, nutritious, protein filled food ranges from build-your-own salad and veg boxes to protein packed pizzas and healthy burgers and fries. Sound too good to be true? Try it out for yourself!

If you’re looking for a drink in Manchester, we recommend trying out the recently opened Seven Bro7hers Beerhouse. The industrial-looking bar fits in perfectly in Ancoats, serving up their very own craft beers. There’s plenty of pale ales and beers on offer, as well as a selection of spirits to cater for all.
