Dirty Martini - Cocktail Bar in Manchester — Restaurant in Manchester

Tried getting in here on Thursday. Understandably I knew my friends and I were underdressed but I politely asked the doorman if there’s a dress code rather than blindly trying to get in. Without answering the question the guy looked me up and down and said “naaa” in an extremely derogatory way (as in “you’re not getting in”). If I ask a question I expect an ANSWER! But instead this guy chose a power play to act out the little bit of control he has. I shouldn’t have to get such a rude attitude if I’m politely asking a question. Must have made him felt really big! And the irony of looking down on me, yet he was the one whose job it is to stand in a doorway, yet I could teach HIM a thing or two about getting a proper job. I won’t be trying this place again if they don’t lay down proper etiquette training on how to treat potential customers. Imagine turning away people who have enough money to spend £100s in there in one go. I didn’t see many people going in, and I’m not surprised. After reading some reviews about their bouncers it seems they just don’t care about their attitudes.

Update:

It’s disappointing to see your response to my review is laced with sarcasm (as I’ve seen with other reviews too) rather than addressing the genuine concerns I raised. This approach not only fails to resolve the issue but also reflects poorly on your commitment to customer feedback. If you cannot take constructive criticism seriously and acknowledge the glaring issues right in front of you, how can you expect to improve or build trust with your customers? Dismissing feedback with such a tone will only alienate those who want to see you succeed. I hope you’ll reconsider your approach (and maybe learn about customer service)...

From the moment we walked into Dirty Martini, we knew we were in for something special—but nothing could’ve prepared us for just how incredible our bottomless brunch experience would be. And at the center of it all? Niyah, our server and absolute shining light throughout the entire day.

From the jump, Niyah greeted us with the warmest smile and the kind of energy that instantly made us feel like VIPs. She guided us through the menu with ease, gave stellar drink recommendations, and made sure not a single glass went empty. Her timing? Impeccable. Her vibe? Immaculate. She brought this infectious positivity that made the whole table feel like we were celebrating something—even if it was just brunch for brunch’s sake.

Now, let’s talk food and drinks. The menu was a knockout. And the drinks? Endless. Literally. Bubbles, Martinis, espresso martinis—you name it, it kept flowing, all thanks to Niyah keeping everything smooth and seamless without ever missing a beat.

The atmosphere at Dirty Martini was just as unforgettable: chic, lively, and buzzing with good energy. The music, the crowd, the attention to detail—it all came together to create the perfect brunch vibe.

If you’re looking for a brunch spot that delivers on food, fun, and flawless service, Dirty Martini is the one—and if you're lucky enough to get Niyah as your server, you’re in for a 10/10 experience.

Already planning our next visit. Bottomless never...

Had the worst experience here on Saturday night. After an amazing bottomless brunch at Manahatta we came across to Dirty Martini for a boogie myself and 3 girlfriends .it was quiet so we grabbed a table and bought couple of rounds of drinks , after about an hour two ladies came over who worked at the bar and asked us to pick our drinks up so they could clean the table , we did as we were asked , when they finished I popped my drink down and was then rudely told that she hadn’t said I could put my drink down , asked me to pick this back up and all move away from the table, we did as we were told again. Then as we moved away the other girl brought a group of girls over who took over our table whilst both smirking then they walked away laughing ! Clearly they were the ladies friends . We spoke to manager and asked why that happened to be told that the table was reserved , we asked where the reserve sign was or even why we were not informed of this , to be told it wasn’t his problem . We were gutted as there were no tables left so then left and went somewhere else . The whole experience put a dampener on the night and to be quite honest I don’t think I will...
