From these humble begininngs the building now houses Manchester's original bar and grill which has been refurbished and extended three times since its opening in 1991 the space today is informal and airy with the buildings heritage being reflected in a subtle blend of antique furniture and modern fixed seating.With its most recent refurbishment Dukes can now properly call itself a venue with two bars, three private events spaces, a grill restaurant, excellent smoking facilities, canalside terrace and balcony overlooking the canal basin. Dukes continued appeal relies on its ability to transform from a relaxed, family friendly environment by day to a vibrant and stylish bar and grill by night.The space has been extended and refurbished since its opening in 1991 and inside its interior combines contemporary features and its trademark antique furniture.

We waited 35 min for our table but i understand it was busy, we got complimentary glass of Prosecco. The food was amazing as always, I really enjoyed the way they did the salmon dish couple of months back, but this one was okay too, only thing it was sooooooo dark where we was sitting and my boyfriend has sight issues and it was hard for him to see his food and had to use flash light for the menu, but apart from that it was amazing. Thank you for a great night
