• "Most of the food was over cooked."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Small but cosy place, that typical hipster pretentious vibe with 5 pound beers and a hedonistic crowd."
• "Think Wild West America meets downtown New York in Manchester and you are pretty close to the feel of Cane and Grain."
• "It wasn't too crowded, and it was quiet enough to talk without having to shout."
• "Wonderful ambience and great experience on a Friday night."
• "Really like this place, nice to sit outside if you happen to get the chance, but if not great atmosphere inside."
• "This is a very lively bar on a Friday evening with a great atmosphere."
• "Fantastic relaxed atmosphere."

Cons:

• "We were sat on a tiny cramped table in the corner with very little room."
• "It was quite noisy as they play background music so it can be difficult to have a conversation but it does have a great atmosphere."
• "The doorman continued to make us feel uncomfortable when I tried to talk to the other half of my family and told me that I had to go back to my seat."
• "Unfortunately the security are incredibly hostile."
• "The overly loud music didn't redeem the venue."
• "Another generic hipster/American bar, staff do not particularly appear interested in creating a vibe."
• "My biggest gripe is the fact that people are allowed to smoke in the outdoor seating section where others are eating which is just gross."
