Point Blank Manchester — Restaurant in Manchester

So…… may I point out I have been here before and I had a great time. Unfortunately this time around was not as previously experienced. We came in as a group of 11 for our Christmas party. We did the bottomless brunch which all in all cost us 440 pound, with 2 not turning which in turn left 80 (which was given in a bar tab). First and foremost we booked in for 12:00, a few of us were running a tad late to which we was told was not acceptable and there was no movement for a 10 minute lateness. (This I can handle it’s our own fault)….. with that being said you’d like to think that drinks beers cocktails etc would have been ready on entry for everyone who came. Unfortunately this was no the case, we ordered a first round of drinks which took a good 10/15 minutes to arrive, then therefore after that was told we would not be allowed another drink until we brung our first empty glass back…. To which we was then told we must order as a group to make it easier on the staff…. So in order to get alcohol from our bottles brunch we all had to finish our drinks at the same time and then sit and wait a good 10/15 minutes per round. This left us with a drink nearly every half hour on a bottomless brunch. We felt like we was being a nuisance more than anything and that we was just getting on the nerves of the staff from start to finish. The pizza took 1 hour to come after people had ordered, again I think this should have been ready on entry. The introduction to the games was very quick and vague and not everyone knew what to do as not everyone was there. It’s very unfortunate and I apologise for the bad review as I don’t like leaving them, but myself and the lads are not best pleased with the speed of the full experience as well as the way we was made to feel or treated. The drinks options could of definitely...

Not a bad place. Good music. Twas a bit indie / rock. Bit loud for my ancient ears in the bar area but it was quiter in the shooting gallery. Prices were reasonable. We got some mocktails and a couple of pizzas. Pizzas were surprisingly good and made in a reasonable time. Thin and a bit crispy, tasted fresh. Wish the menus were a little easier to read but I'm being picky. I'd have liked it if there was clear vegetarian or halal options, again, a little bit picky. Staff were really good. Professional but friendly/fun. The main feature... The booths or shooting ranges were well spaced apart from other people but there is no partition wall away from other people although I didn't feel like we needed it. Having shot a few guns in the past I was hoping to recreate that experience on a toned down scale. I think I probably had unfairly high expectations. The guns looked, felt and weighed the part, mostly. There was no "action" on the guns and the aiming/game felt a bit like "duck hunt" (if you remember the old NES game). That being said maybe I'm just being a sore loser because my friend decimated me when I thought I would be the dogs bananas. 😜

Anything more than a handgun costs extra.

There are a few games but they all feel limited. Some games are branded as 2 player but its just 1 player with 2 guns really. As each gun shares the same bullet pool and health bar so you can't accurately count your shots. The arcade machine "Time crisis" might have been better.

The overall opinion from all of us was, nice gimmick and decent for some drinks but I wouldn't go again. None of us are drinkers really and if you want a shooting experience maybe consider air soft, paintball or going to a gun range abroad etc.

The event was ok, the staff were great, the venue was clean and...

I booked this out of a last minute something to do a couple of weeks ago on Groupon , we checked all the notes before booking and saw nothing that would stop us booking other than the potential of availability,

Once we booked it tells you that you can only book via email ,and that the emails are only looked at Monday to Friday but your only told this once you email , I had asked for availability on the Sunday but got a reply on Monday saying “did you get it booked” well no because my only option was email which wasn’t looked that

I emailed again in the week looking to book the Sunday coming I was give 6:20 or 7:10 , I picked my time and the emails from Stella went dead , no confirmation and no response, poor service

On Sunday I called after two failed attempts to book I just wanted to do it over the phone , I spoke with Alice who was very apologetic for the service I had experienced but informed me that if I sent my details through as an enquiry I could have 9 o’clock and still use my Groupon GREAT NEWS

So after an unsuccessful taxi journey we arrive 11 minutes late to be told by the First Gentleman “I can’t see your booking and the second one who came and seen me 5 minutes later said “ we have gave your table away” a good excuse for someone who didn’t even look for my booking , so Alice hadn’t put this booking in

I don’t take away that some people have had some great experiences here

But mine was wasted the taxis cost more than the experience due to the faults of staff here it’s not worth my time and will seek a refund...
