Situated above The Deansgate pub at the end of Deansgate, 3TwentyOne Smokehouse & Liquor is a new restaurant and bar serving a range of locally sourced meat and fish dishes from a buzzing open kitchen. The tempting menu displays a Southern US influence with a good dollop of hearty Manchester flavour - with dishes including steaks, ribs, pates, fish and chops - as well as the famous Manchester Egg, and a range of meats smoked on the premises.

The decor is warm and modern, with comfortable leather seating and polished wooden tables. Outside there's a small roof terrace overlooked by the landmark Hilton Tower - which will be an enviable sun trap for al fresco dining in warmer months.

As well as the food. 3TwentyOne offers a tempting selection of cocktails created by General Manager Edward Lowe, who cut his teeth at some of Manchester's best cocktail bars including Socio Rehab (now Luck, Lust, Liquor & Burn) and The Alchemist. The summery Chilli and Watermelon Collins is a particular highlight to look out for. Non-diners are more than welcome to pull up a stool and enjoy a few drinks at this great new Manchester restaurant bar.
