   We visited Sonata last night for the first time and had the most wonderful experience. On arrival we were greeted my a very friendly doorman who quickly found our booking and wished us a lovely evening. We then went downstairs to the Piano and Cabaret lounge where we were welcomed and given the option to choose where we wanted to sit. We were informed that it was table service and got settled in and ordered some drinks. The drinks menu is great and the prices are very reasonable. The waiters were cool and friendly. There was a wonderful singer called Callum who was also playing the piano. Harriet Eves then delighted us for 3 hours with the most fantastic Jazz songs which were a beautiful mix of Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse and many more. She was mesmerising and her husband Nathan complimented her beautifully with his piano accompaniment. As we were leaving at 11pm, Andy began his set and he was also excellent. I can imagine that he continued to entertain with his beautiful voice. I would highly recommend a visit to this hidden gem and cannot wait to return.

   Sonata is an intimate space with different artists and groups performing. The audience is a complete mix of demographic. The staff are attentive, friendly, always roaming and checking you have what you need. Very comfortable atmosphere and reasonable priced entry. Drinks can run on the expensive side but you know you're supporting an independent venue and artists.

   This is not a food place…it’s cocktails and live music! The staff were exceptional, so attentive, water flasks appearing through the night without being asked for. I heard that noise of a glass being knocked over, the waitress near me turned and straightaway went to the table with a cloth and a smile. Music the night we were there was such fun.”Voices and Lyrics”…..such a good fun night out.

    Returned yet again for a wonderful evening of live music , drinks ( and the cheese board ) with family for a birthday and it was a perfect way to finish the night after going to a nearby restaurant beforehand. The service is remarkable and such a good idea to have table service so no standing at the bar in line or having to get up and down while the artist was performing The music last night was perfect for the venue and a great mix or soul , jazz . Blues all live vocals and a pianist . Cannot wait to go back again

    A wonderful evening at Sonata. The service was attentive, the host was welcoming and couldn’t have been more accommodating, and the musicians were fantastic. We enjoyed the table nibbles whilst sinking some beautiful cocktails. The overall ambience was tastefully lively, which was perfect and what you would hope for on a Saturday night.

    Sonata was a welcome surprise to me in Manchester as it’s something that I’ve been looking for from a jazz club. The vibe and the venue was awesome and the staff was very welcoming and gave great service throughout. It’s not an intimidating club to go into and you feel right at home whilst you’re there. Can’t wait to go again, would recommend heavily to anyone who wants a place to chill. Thanks for having us!

    Had a booking for a Valentine’s Day and it was the perfect setting. Not overly “cheesy”, just a classy setting and ambience with a few rose petals sprinkled on our private table. Table service was excellent and the lady who served us was great! Very attentive considering how busy it was with the all tables being full since we entered the lounge to when we left Music was excellent and perfect for the setting and occasion. Drinks were great. Didn’t have any of the food but looked nice and was more “nibbles” than anything substantial. Will definitely be going again

    Great chilled venue to go for a drink. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. We go there early at 6pm so was quite quiet so we were given the choice of where to sit. Upon being seated we were told about the happy hour offers and was shortly brought some water and pretzels. The drinks were brought to us quite quickly. It's the first time being in a piano bar like this so it was very unusual to watch a great performance but with people talking loudly around the room and unfortunately the cocktail shaking at the bar was a little distracting of the ambience of the room but it is a necessary evil. Overall thoroughly enjoyed the evening and was there for 2.5hrs. It started getting busy so thought we'd move on to allow others to have the table. The staff did say typically you're able to sit for 3 hours subject to business levels. I'll definitely be back.

    What a fantastic end to 2022 and start of 2023 ! It was such a good evening spent with friends for New Year’s Eve The two acts were superb , especially the act on for midnight They really did make everyone celebrate and brought people together As for the service it was brilliant as it has been before Being table service is good as you don’t have to worry about going to the bar and distracting yourself from the music and your friends so it’s more relaxing I would not recommend enough and cannot wait to return

    Sonata Bar's first New Year's Eve party and what a great success it was. Fresh and tasty canapés served by professional and friendly staff. Two excellent bands played four sets and rang in the bells at midnight. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
