Nestled in the vibrant Northern Quarter of Manchester, Night & Day Cafe is more than just a bar—it's a cultural hub that celebrates live music and good food. Customers rave about its exceptional atmosphere and friendly staff. Reviews highlight the cafe's impressive sound system, perfect for enjoying live performances while indulging in a diverse menu, prominently displayed on blackboards. Breakfast options like the hearty Classic Big Old Meaty Breakfast and the elegant Eggs Benedict set a solid culinary foundation for the day. Unique extras such as Charshu Pork and Truffle Oil elevate simple dishes, catering to both adventurous palates and classic tastes. The “Things Between Things” section offers delightful options like the Cajun Chicken wrap and the posh cheese toasty, ensuring there's something for everyone. While the venue's overall experience is praised, a few reviews touch on the absence of 0% alcohol drinks—a small detail that could enhance its appeal. Nevertheless, the warm welcome extended to all guests, including wheelchair users, makes Night & Day Cafe a standout choice for both music lovers and foodies alike. With a perfect blend of friendly vibes, delicious bites, and outstanding live performances, this cafe is truly a gem in Manchester's bustling scene.

Went to see #katieandthebadsign on the last night of their mini tour. Excellent venue, great sound system, food is available during the day, not sure about in the evening. Large menu on blackboards above the bar, lots of choice of food. Great location right in the heart of the Northern Quarter, so there are plenty of other bars and eateries. Always lots of local bands are playing this venue, worth investigating

Fantastic venue, famous for its love music. Saw Eric Paslay here lady night, and he didn't disappoint. Great venue. Lost a star as, for some reason, they don't sell 0% alcohol. This is the first place I've been to in a long time that doesn't. N&D, sort this out, please!!

As a wheelchair user I can't fault the people that work here . Made me feel very welcome ,even got out a ramp for the small front step. They got me to the side of the stage despite a sold out crowd and me turning up just before the main act came on. Great venue and staff.

We have been here a few times over the years and either we pick the right shows or it is actually awesome here every night. An ideal size for a band on the rise, great sound system, nice staff and atmosphere and reasonable price for drinks and admission. Will no doubt be back in the future, pump up the volume.
