All Bar One

Excuse me sir

I like All Bar One, it has a great location and in the summer months can be beautiful near the canal.

certainly a place to start the night, but it can feel awkward at times, and can be a little pricey.

it isn't cosy, and you're not likely to find yourself dancing anywhere, but the upstairs section can be slightly more intimate, and i've never seen any trouble in there at all.

generally favoured by older clientele with a bit more money to spend, worth checking out

Great All Bar One

Usually I would give All Bar One a 4 star rating but the location here is just lovely, in the summer people are sprayed out by the canal and its a real after work pull.

Tasty tortillas...

...although a little on the soft side.

All Bar One is a good-allrounder. Its canal-side location is great when the sun's out. Nice for a drink and there's a good selection of food from their 'World Tapas' menu. The tortilla strips are unfortunately a little stale tasting....but everything else makes up for it. Good spot...good choice of beer & food...and nice staff to boot.

Days are great. Nights? Not so much...

If you're looking for somewhere for a lunchtime coffee and gossip, decent food at good prices, then this is the place to go.

As the night draws in however, it's a big cave of a place, and I've always found the noise that creates, from the music and general chatter, really puts pay to any kind of conversation!

2 stars for nightlife visits 4 stars for daytimes. Average is "as expected" which isn't really accurate!

Get me drunk please

If you plan on getting battered then All Bar One is a good choice because it serves beer. It's a bit cold in the winter because of the high ceilings and stone floor but it's right in the centre of Brindley Place so has loads of bars around it.

It's ok, nice, relaxed, bit on the pricey side & always a bit chilly. not the cosiest bar in the world, but do a nice pint of Jupiler Blue & a great chicken & peppers sandwich!

Noisy pint!

Popped in after work the other afternoon for a steak sarnie and pint of lager.

It's one of those trendy business type pubs with people in suits trying to look important. The seating is nice... large chunky wooden tables and chairs. There's even an outside area to sit when the sun shines. Today it's cloudy - but there are people being brave out there.

Now, the only big problem I had was the noise... mumble mumble mumble... it was sometimes hard to hear yourself think - but the food was lovely and the beer went down well.

Loads of beers!

Has a great choice of imported beers, helps it stand out from all of the surrounding bars. Food is ok if you just want a snack to go with the beer. Gets really busy if the suns shining, and there can be a bit of a wait at the bar.

This is a great place for a quick drink with friends.

You will get good service, smiles all round and the pesto burger is very tasty

stay for the nuts! Whatever you drink, have the pistachio nuts - awesome!!!!

Great selection of beer - especially when they do their 'speciality' beer month. cherry beer is the future.

Perfect early doors bar

Good choice

Like the nearby Pitcher and Piano, All Bar One is a popular with office workers; it’s got outside seating next to the canal, a large main bar area and an upstairs space that can be reserved. They serve a menu of salads, sandwiches, burgers and tapas.

A great pre-club bar or meeting place near to Broad Street. It tends to be busy with city types during the day and early evening but becomes less so as the night goes on. Great for social gatherings or even just for a meal with friends with a good selection of food and imported beers and wines.
