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.

    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

    Great location for Aviva theatre but allow more than an hour for food on a busy day. Our waitress was lovely and efficient but the waiter that I had to approach to get our table needs training on how to greet customers. Food was tasty and good and met expectations - generous portions. We booked an indoor table on one of the hottest days- perfect as outside was heaving and too hot on a Wednesday at 6pm. Not enough bar staff (5 deep)
    Dukes 92Responded on May 9, 2025
    Hi Nina, Thank you for your review and feedback. We will certainly take all of your comments on board for reflection. Unfortunately on the date of your visit we did face some sickness absences which left us short handed, however we are avidly recruiting new team members for summer. Thanks again, Team Dukes.

    Pros- Can’t fault the food or service, our waiter was attentive. Cons - the noise level was ridiculously loud. I get that it’s a young crowd vibe but the sheer amount of people was intimidating. A flight broke out between 2 young women feet away from our table and diners had to help break it up as no security were around to help until the event was over. Not what you want when you’re eating out.
    Dukes 92Responded on April 13, 2025
    Hello Annmarie, Thank you for your feedback. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the food and service from your waitor. We are very sorry for the incident that occured from two other guests within our venue - we ensured security who were monitoring all aspects of the venue were swiftly brought over to de-escelate the issues. We certainly have a lot to take away from a very sunny and busy day to ensure much improvement in the future. Safety of our guests and staff is something we take seriously, always. Thank you for your comments, we will condsider them well. Best wishes - Team Management
