Had a day off from work so had a trip over to media city fancied something to eat & drink and their it was the place that I was going to have my lunch in . The Dockyard . As an Industrial feel to it with an old school look when it comes to the the chairs / wooden tools .this is a great place very spacious inside but also outside in them summer months just people watching or if your lucky the odd celebrity walking by the prices are not bad remember you are in media city so expect to pay about 5 pound for a drink. I did have a bite to eat and opted for the Dockyard Club bit like a ( BLT ) you get it with fries .But have to say I was disappointed . I paid 11 pound for my lunch but I found it had very little taste and the biggest disappointment was the cheap bread they used ( Try Warburtos ). Bit of a let down when the meal was nothing special needs work . but over all the staff are friendly and welcoming and it's in a great location with a good choice of drinks. will I go back absolutely for drinks not for the food sadly. but I had a great Afternoon its a wonderful place to stop At . Thanks to the staff for being so welcoming.

31/10/22: Happy Halloween! Came for tea before seeing The Shawshank Redemption at The Lowry. Been here a few times before. Always a great choice of craft ales. The food was amazing too. We chose the Hunter Chicken Burgers & fried and drank Brightside Brewing: Freyja pale ale, 3.8% and Dockyard Brewery: Graveyard pale, 3.8%. Since launching in 2013, The Dockyard has become the life and soul of Media City UK. With a real passion for beer, The Dockyard offers an unrivalled selection of craft ales, beers and ciders from all over the world. The team is passionate about what they do, so whether you’re looking for a particular style of beer, wine or soft drink, you’re going to get the best service and drink to suit you. In Summer, there was The Shack MCUK, the summer pop up bar! Located just on the grassland opposite the front door, The Shack was Media City’s answer to a Mediterranean beach. From DJ’s, to acoustic acts and full bands, The Dockyard hosts live music evening every Thursday from 8pm, which is free entry!

Pros: A great selection of beers - with a large array of constantly rotating guest ales on pump. Unfortunately they don't get many barrels for each guest beer, meaning sometimes you find an amazing brew which isn't available when you return the next week (or next day). They usually also have a fair few 'steady' tap beers, including Doom Bar, Dockyard Ale and Dockyard Lager - plus the usual assortment of lagers, ciders, spirits and soft drinks. Some great regional craft beers in cans as well, though they're not cheap. Cons: In the summer months, at its peak the queue is out the door! But usually you can get served within seconds. It can get pretty loud inside when it's busy, so sit at one of the many outdoor tables if you want to chat in peace. A decent, gastropub-style food menu is an added benefit if you're peckish at lunchtime. Don't forget your table number if you're ordering food.

This is a great place to come in the day or evening for a drink and some food. There is always a good selection of beers at the bar and some really great food available. It does get busy in the evenings however so come early if you’re after a meal. The decor is pretty cool, wooden beams and girders to reflect a dockyard feel. There are booths with rustic tables and sofas as well as low tables and benches outside which are great in the summer. If you get a window seat you’ll have a nice view of the Blue Peter garden, Imperial War Museum and the plaza outside the BBC. If you’re in Media City this a great place to visit. Thanks for reading
