The Oast House

The Oast House is a charming pub known for its beautiful winter tipis and sun-soaked beer garden in the summer, meaning it makes the list of best outdoor bars in Manchester all year long. Head over to the Spinningfields spot for hanging kebabs, seasonal fare and BBQ bites, all washed down with hoppy brews.

The Lawn Club

Lunch Club | Main & Soft Drink for £10 and 1 other offer

The Lawn Club is a staple of outdoor Spinningfields bars, offering a cool location for after-work drinks, alfresco date nights and group hangouts. This place can be found in Hardman Square; boasting deckchairs on their spacious and sunny lawn, as well as a pretty terrace, greenhouses and a wide choice of drinks, including their refreshing range of summer spritzes.

Terrace NQ

As its name would suggest, this stripped-back watering hole is one of the best bars in Manchester's Northern Quarter with outdoor seating. Head to Thomas Street, where you'll find Terrace NQ fronting bare brick walls and simplistic furniture coupled with alfresco craft beers, wines and G&Ts.

Hatch Manchester

From a cool nano brewery to Miami Ice, which crosses a beach bar with 80s disco, there are plenty of cool traders at Hatch Manchester. When you want outdoor drinks in a shipping container complex, this Oxford Road destination has just the thing.

El Gato Negro

Come for the tapas but stay for the stunning roof terrace, as Simon Shaw's glorious restaurant offers more than the usual Spanish fare. Alongside confit pork belly and chargrilled octopus, you'll be able to enjoy sangria, aperitifs and all kinds of cocktails at El Gato Negro.
