Turing Tap — Restaurant in Manchester

2 for 1 cocktails all day every day! Turing Tap is out here saving us some pennies and giving us that Manchester cocktail summer.

Taste 💖💖💖💖🤍 [really, really good] This was a mixed one! We found the mains were a little meh with the taco bowl being mostly sauce. On the flip side, they didn’t skimp on the sauce 🙈. The desserts were the ones to go for though! Biscoff, cheesecake, ice cream and biscoff caramel sauce all in one bowl 😍

Vibe 💖💖💖🤍🤍 [good, met expectations] Turing Tap is a chilled-out pub. Busy atmosphere with lots of people enjoying themselves. The decor wasn’t stunning but fits in with the pub vibe.

Presentation 💖💖💖🤍🤍 [good, met expectations] This was a hit and miss again. The taco bowl looked delicious, and the donuts were really nicely stacked but the biscoff dessert was almost just plopped into a bowl. Definitely could be a improved a little but overall not bad :)

Service: 💖💖🤍🤍🤍 [some good, some bad] We’re sad to say service wasn’t great and we’ve been there a few times. The staff appeared a little grumpy and we had an issue where they hadn’t heard of the drinks we ordered or how to make them… even though they were listed on the menu. Understandable if they’re new though, we don’t want to be too critical here. We think there’s some room for improvement.

Value for money: 💖💖💖💖💖 [exceptional] Excellent value. 2-for-1 cocktails all day everyday is such a good deal. You can have a cocktail with a friend and not...

Visited in the 'Twixmas' period 2024 (27-30 December) whilst staying locally in Manchester for a series of gigs at The Academy (Lottery Winners, Burning House Parties) Needed somewhere to be able to meet with friends before and after going on to various events over the weekend. From the first trickle of people coming in, to when it was standing room only and 5 deep at the bar, the manager Shannon & her staff couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming & professional, perfect hosts in my opinion. Ensured everyone had somewhere to sit when it got really busy & even helped punters by carrying drinks upstairs when they'd ordered more than they could carry! This also goes for the regular punters who might not have taken to over 100 people turning up 'en masse' in high spirits after the gigs too. The first good experience kept us coming back for more, and so it was over the long weekend. Appropriate music played downstairs (Lottery Winners) and the chance for people to have a song-along upstairs when young musician Jonny Blade arrived with his guitar & entertained the 'troops'. Good drinks offers, & good prices. Great staff, understanding & accommodating. Thanks again, we shall return.

Shannon, you were an absolute credit to the pub and the pub company. Lovely to meet & chat to you when the chance arose (it got VERY busy at times there! 😉) best wishes...

Please do NOT advertise yourselves as a pub that shows the RWC and sells its official beer if you can't even be bothered to show matches on the big screen. It's one thing to favour football over rugby on a normal day but when you have people sat down having paid for drinks from your establishment waching a WORLD CUP game and then you change it to football in the middle of the rugby game. BURNLEY Vs Man U over a tournament that only happens every four years. People had called ahead to make sure you were showing it on the big screen, promised it would be and then get 10minutes was all they got. Absolutely disgraceful. If that were the football world cup you'd have turned it back on in a heartbeat. Staff could not give a toss. Do NOT come here if you're a rugby fan wanting to watch a match. Not the first time it's happened either. Please take all your RWC merch down as it's false advertising. One star for food as it's mediocre at best and seriously overpriced (I've tried several options...
