About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Dukes 92 was originally a stable block for the horses delivering foods off barges to the Merchants warehouse opposite. From these humble begininngs the building now houses Manchester's original bar and grill which has been refurbished and extended three times since its opening in 1991 the space today is informal and airy with the buildings heritage being reflected in a subtle blend of antique furniture and modern fixed seating.
With its most recent refurbishment Dukes can now properly call itself a venue with two bars, three private events spaces, a grill restaurant, excellent smoking facilities, canalside terrace and balcony overlooking the canal basin. Dukes continued appeal relies on its ability to transform from a relaxed, family friendly environment by day to a vibrant and stylish bar and grill by night.
The space has been extended and refurbished since its opening in 1991 and inside its interior combines contemporary features and its trademark antique furniture.

    It was super packed and not enough waiters, so food and drinks took so long.

    Hi Refiloe, Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback. We had an extremely busy week with another heatwave in Manchester, and whilst no excuse we do have some areas to take-away from this for improvement. We proved to be a very popular venue of choice and this did put some pressures on the team in very hot conditions. We have return Summer staff joining us over the next few weeks and this assist in improving delivery times going forwards. Best Wishes - Team Dukes

    The fishcake was overcooked and almost burnt. The skinny fries were old and un-apetising. On entering the restaurant, we had to wait arround for ages before anyone came to welcome us. The meny is very limited.

    This place is special to me, so even if the food was bad and the service too I'd still go, thankfully it wasn't though. Best terrace for sunny days
