Simple Bar Restaurant

Came here for a meal the other week. Nice relaxed vibe (lovely decor), and the food was gorgeous - the burgers and cheesecake are highly reccomended! Service was quick and friendly. Great option for drinks or a meal in the Norhtern Quarter.

Just awesome,

Very classy and warm atmosphere, service is perfect, quick and smiling, and food's original and delicious. Not expensive at all (2 beers, 2 main courses and 2 desserts = 28 pounds). Good music.

I'm from Paris and I go out a lot, and I don't know a lot of place like that in Paris.

I'm gonna go back, for sure.

PS : I love the chocolate cake :)

Simple is a really nice place to eat and drink, and has a great atmosphere. The food has improved massively and the new happy hour menu is awesome. I highly recommend this place and all the staff I encountered on my visit were really nice and helpful.

i love simple. i go here all the time - they have started to make the most divine cheesecake - it is to die for.

And perfect for afterwork drinks with a £6.50 bottle of Rose.

I think it has had a re-vamp recently and has got some funky flock wallpaper and an amazing chandelier.

I find it hard to believe that some of these reviews are about the same place.

I LOVE simple, Manchester needs more independent bars like it.

The first time we stumbled into this place we were well impressed. The manager even took time out to come to our table and introduce himself as he was fairly new. The place had a really nice vibe.

I ordered the staple favourite "all day breakfast" and it couldn't have been better. The missus had her veggie option and was also impressed.

However, we visited again maybe 5 or 6 times in the subsequent months and each time we were badly let down.

*Miserable / Inept staff.

*Below average food (the beans on one of my breakfasts had obviously been stood under heatlamps to keep them warm).

*Once we waited almost an hour for someone to even offer us DRINKS.

We honestly thought it'd improve hence why we went back half a dozen times but it never did so needless to say we will not be going back any time soon. Sadly, the manager who introduced himself that day no longer seems to be there, maybe that's the reason for it's slide.

As my school reports used to say, "could try harder".
