Really good food. Our steak was lovely, and the sides were delicious. Shame about the inconsistent staffing...we did get a round of drinks free to make up for it.
It was very quiet when we arrived, which was a little off putting, but started to fill up after 30 mins or so. The service, staff and food were brilliant. We will definitely be back. Thanks
Poor menu choice, no ribs or seafood available which was 50% of the menu. However, bill was reduced to compensate! Great service, seemingly let down by a poorly run kitchen
At lunch time they only serve a very limited lunch menu with 7 items to choose from (3 of which were salads) which was not explained on their website. Needless to say we were disappointed with the choice available. The food took a long time to arrive even though there were only 2 tables, however what we were served was tasty.
Really great night. Food lovely, drinks reasonable price, service brilliant. Atmosphere really good. Would recommend pigs in blankets. Not sure we made the right choice in steak. The tomahawk probably wasn't the right one for us but looked great.
The service here is excellent, our waitress on wednesday evening was fantastic, friendly and helpful. She was managing the whole floor by herself but never failed to turn up at the table with a smile, catered for our every request and was really helpful explaining the menu and making recommendations. The food is good, very good with 40% off but I would possibly be a little underwhelmed if I had paid full price. The starters were excellent and the mains/sides ranged from 'incredible' (the mac and cheese) to 'ok' (burger/chips) There was a lot of options unavailable on the menu including all of the fish and most of the steaks and this is something I have heard before from here. All in all the food tastes good and whilst it isn't particularly over priced there is slight room for improvement. The service is impeccable and I can imagine the bar and restaurant itself has a really great atmosphere on a busy weekend. Will definitely return and hopefully try the fish!
The restaurant was fabulous the fillet was a mouth to die for along with their signature bbq sauce. Service was top notch with the server catering to us without being feeling harassed. A great find and recommend.
A great addition to Manchester's live music, food & drinks scene! Lovely, attentive staff, tasty food, and great bands on the weekends! Will be back!
The food was good but not exceptional, whilst we weren't sure whether it was table or to the bar service. I agree with somebody's review on TripAdvisor that it's a place that doesn't know what it is. The drinks were great and the barman very friendly!
Really hope this place takes off as the location has seen many failed restaurants/bars. Overall good experience and very friendly server (without being annoying) and the prices are reasonable with a good drinks selection. Not as many teething problems as i thought it might have, though they didn't have enough cutlery to bring new knives and forks between meals. I didn't go to the bathroom but my friend did and said it was freezing.
Lovely food, good atmosphere and friendly staff as always. They know what they're doing when it comes to steak and I highly recommend their fillet. The chips are fat, crispy and golden and their jalepeno poppers are divine!
Excellent food and top notch customer service for a very reasonable price. Pigs in blankets were amazing as was the pulled pork. First time here but will most definitely return.
Excellent food, great service would go again. Had a 40% off food offer which was fab. Good portion sizes and very tasty food. Good cocktails
Amazing food, cocktails are really fun and the staff were lovely and helpful. Informal style dining area but nice. Food is big portions so over-ordering is easy! Would definitely eat here again
The food and the service was exceptional. We would definitely go here again. Easy to find the location, very reasonably priced, staff very attentive and friendly.
Great place to eat, food was lovely and good sized portions. Only downfall was air conditioning kept changing hot to cold at the end of the meal.
good overall experience but the food menu was limited that day because it was bank holiday weekend and they didnt have enough ingredients. however we were the only diners and got treated very very well with a free shot at the end
great foo and music. amazing cocktails. happy to have a place like this in Manchester! :) bb king pulled pork and aviation are an absolute must
The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food is also excellent. It was a really enjoyable evening with cocktails and a band playing live music to top it off.
Very disappointed. I had been very much looking forward to eating here for the first time, after seeing various things online I thought it might be right up my street, however I was sorely let down. The management need to either employ more waiting on staff or better train the ones that they already have. The restaurant was far from capacity and yet my partner and I had to wait for 15 minutes until a waiter actually came close enough to our table that I could ask for drinks, (he took our food order at this point also). Unfortunately we didn't get to try the drinks as after 30 minutes we still hadn't received any. The final straw was having our meals brought out to us and having half of my food spilt onto the table, I wasn't offered the courtesy of a replacement. I again asked for our drinks. At this point we decided to leave, on walking to the exit I was accosted by the waitress and asked I we were at least paying for the meals!!?? I'm a strong believer in showing appreciation of great service with a generous tip but I'd say this is probably the worst service I've ever received. I just found the whole experience strange. In all fairness the steak looked delicious.
The staff made this visit special! We had the Piquante Paloma, Bourbon & Blackberry cocktails (15) which added to the experience, if somewhat overpriced. The food was extremely tasty with the poppers a highlight. The chips are outstanding. Beware the pulled mushroom dish, it's huge. The 40% food discount attracted me and funded the cocktails. I would definitely return but wouldn't sit in the basement.
Food wasn't great. Service was slow. Other half's steak sandwich and chips not as good as what I get from M&S for lunch. My shellfish selection was a little boring.
Great place great food !!!! Can't wait to book again for the deal ... Even got free cocktail ... Try it .. It's great xxx
Very poor ! Food awful ! Not the same place and we visited 2weeks ago. Waited ages for mains and food sent back. Will not be visiting again EVER .. Place was cold and even had to bring a heater to table
The restaurant was cold, the upstairs and downstairs parts were closed so we didn't have a great choice of seats as it is quite small. The food was ok but very expensive, 15.95 for a pulled pork burger, luckily we had a 40% off voucher or I would have to say it is not worth the money.
We had a really great time, staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great. The starters were fantastic, especially the prawns but the tomahawk steak stole the show.
We had the full rack of ribs and the large mussels. Both were absolutely fantastic! The ribs had so much meat on them and the slaw was great. The muscles were super tasty. We had 2 cocktails and they didn't disappoint!
Very helpful staff, fantastic meal! Great choice of food too, with interesting names e.g. Johnny Cash burger. Would definitely visit there again when in Manchester.
Food was delicious and generously proportioned but it was the corn bread that stole the show for me. Service was very friendly too. Will definitely add this onto my list of recommendations to my friends.
I ordered a rack of ribs and my friend ordered pulled pork. Both were excellent, akin to comfort food. Prices were reasonable. Selection of bourbons is broad and the venue is contemporary. We had a good time watching live jazz music.
Food was all great but they didn't have a few of the things on the menu as they had ran out. Would recommend the fillet steak
Cool place, great food and friendly staff. Enjoyed a free drink upstairs after the meal watching a live band. Great night would definitely return again.
Great service and the food was honestly amazing. There was a lot of choice on the menu, we had pigs in blankets and ribs to start, mouth watering! Ribs were huge and sticky.... I had the sea food boil..... jesus it was huge and tested great. I would recommend this to everyone as it's lovely. Would recommend this restaurant and bar to all will definitely be going back
Starters exceeded expectations and the main (Fillet) was absolutely fantastic, unfortunately the pudding wasn't as good as it had been in the past but still a great meal out, I'll be going again soon.
The food, service and environment were all lovely! I'd most definitely both visit Bourbon and Black (Mount Street Manchester) again and recommend it to friends!
Nice place, wonderful cocktails, good wine list and helpful staff - overall good service. Very quiet early in the week but would go back again for sure.
It was freezing downstairs so we asked if we could go upstairs which we know they wouldn't usually allow but they were fine and put us on a booth upstairs. Nice chilled but good service, food was sensational!!!! As always. Still one of my favourite bars and restaurants!
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was absolutely spot on. The taste and texture of my steak and other food were exquisite. The cornflake tart is a winner too. Highly recommended 👍
Really great place was quiet while we were there and I imagine it's even better when it's busier. The staff were great attentive and friendly it was very relaxed and the food was great at lunch.
The food was excellent, great prices, even at full price its still great and the staff were all really. LOVED IT, can't wait to go again
Amazing service, building, food and menu! I struggling deciding on one dish and ended up having 3 courses, a bottle of wine and what turned into just some food out....I sat down at 6:30pm and didn't leave until it closed I was having such a lovely night!! Staff were faultless and atmosphere was perfect! My new favourite bar in Manchester!!! Thank you Bourbon and Black!
Great food, great service, great cocktails. Good deal - happy hour before 7 too! We even played a bit of ping pong. Would definitely go again.
Lovely place to eat, will definitely go back, soon. It is not suit am for people who are not capable of climbing stairs, however, the management and staff bent over backwards to make sure that we were catered for. It was a lovely night.
Great night and atmosphere. Steak was amazing and cooked to perfection. It's a shame the drinks took a little while to come out but the service after was spot on.
The food was lovely and the staff were great but the music was too loud in the restaurant and both the restaurant and toilets were really cold.
Food was very tasty however portion size of sides a little disappointing considering the cost. Felt a little awkward on entering Bourbon and Black; two members of staff and a handful of customers. Took over five minutes to be awknoledged, then waited a little longer to be seated. Pleasant enough experience however won't rush to return.
Great place. Really great attentive service and good food. Will be back
Amazing food and exemplary service. Couldn't ask for more to be honest. Greeted and sat straight away and asked for drinks. Overall wow factor really!
Having been lucky enough to travel to Texas on a few occasions, this is genuinely the first restaurant I've visited in the UK that comes close to that authentic Tex-Mex / BBQ flavour. Very enjoyable and reasonably priced for a city centre restaurant.
Brilliant! Food was fantastic and not overpriced. Wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone. The pulled pork in the Mac and cheese cake was to die for
