The Chimney Lounge - Salford

This restaurant is a great spot for a peaceful drink. The drinks can be a bit pricey, but it's a lovely place to relax in the courtyard during the summer. They offer table service and cater to both hotel guests and non-guests.

I have only been to this restaurant for drinks, but the service is good. It's nice to stop in before going into the main dining area.

We were staying so started with a drink. The cocktail was fine but the service was some of the slowest I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. Staff were actually standing looking at their phones while we were sitting there waiting for our drinks. On the plus side I left my room key on the bar and they did return it to me. We chose not to stay principally as there was no atmosphere at all.

Ate an early dinner. Speedy friendly service. Food was fresh and delicious. Had Ciabatta Steak Sandwich served to taste. Bun was super fresh.

Located in the Marriott this small bar is well laid out with comfortable sofas and a good range of cold and hot drinks, snacks, afternoon tea etc. There is a large courtyard adjacent which offers outdoor seating and is partially covered with heated umbrellas.
