Bars · Manchester
The Bridge Tavern is a Manchester pub with period charm, a good range of ales and cocktails, and a terrace where the outdoor seating gives you a bit more room with little ones in tow. It's a proper grown-up sort of spot (££, 4.1 from 623 reviews), so it suits an easygoing afternoon or early evening rather than a full family meal out.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Halal Turkish grills near paid parking, with high chairs, a kids' menu and warm, quick staff — pricey, but the Iskender is worth it.
Korean in Manchester with highchairs — 4.3★ (823 Google reviews).
A lively, low-cost Irish pub in central Manchester with pub grub, sport on the screens and regular live music.
