Solomon Grundy Review:

Solomon Grundy is the kind of place that you could, potentially, stay in all day.
Here’s the plan.
Turn up at about eleven with a healthy selection of the day’s papers and settle yourself in the conservatory at the back of the café. Spend a couple of hours with the papers, a freshly squeezed orange juice and a bacon butty.
At about 1pm, call some friends and get them to come down and meet you for lunch. Spend a couple of hours swapping news over a sandwich and a pint or so.
Send them off at about 3pm, when you take your laptop out and start working on your dissertation / novel / presentation along with the students in the bar.
At about 6pm, pack everything away and move towards the middle of the bar, surrounding yourself with the buzz of the after-work crowd.
Order a pizza and listen to the live jazz band for the rest of the night.
Go home, congratulating yourself on the fact that not once have you been chivvied along, harassed by drunken idiots or ignored by the waiters.
Solomon Grundy is cool.

Always very good food, and they're never rude about getting you to leave after closing time unlike so many places. I think i shall go there for lunch today.

Lively at night, although at 28 I feel terribly old. By day it's a nice place to have a coffee but it's so big that you can feel like you're the only one there even when you're not. Free coffee top-ups I like, though. Leffe on draugh? Yes please. Friendly staff? On the whole, yes. The side room and downstairs feel like afterthoughts, though, and lack atmosphere. And I'd be surprised if no-one's had their hand off trying to open the front door!

Best place in Manchester by far! Unpretentious, friendly staff, and the most reasonably priced food I've had, which is way above the usual bar fare and more in keeping with a top restaurant. Top marks.

yee old solomon and grundy- nice place if you want to escape the fallowfield mayhem and get in a bit of culture- can very easily sit in here on your own and pretend to be reading a newspaper, looking intellectual whilst sipping coffee.

My fave place in Manchester....Sunday's consist of a great breakfast, reading the paper and chilling with a pot of tea or a pint of Star, depending on the mood.
