One of Manchester newest and most-popular late night hotspots is giving chicken wing lovers something to look forward to this week.
The Blues Kitchen – which opened its Manchester branch back in May 2021 on Quay Street in the heart of the city centre – is well-known and loved for its Southern-inspired menu of barbecue classics and proper comfort food, that features everything from stacked-up burgers, creamy mac n cheese, smoky ribs, and so much more.
But it’s the venue’s wide array of chicken wings, which are quite frankly “legendary”, that are known to really draw in the crowds.
Which is why, this Friday 14 January from 6pm, The Blues Kitchen will be hosting the “ultimate wings frenzy”, and will be giving chicken wing fans the chance to tuck into the delicacy for completely free of charge.
The catch?

For two whole hours, from 6pm – 8pm, you can head on down to The Blues Kitchen to devour its signature “glorious, tangy, spicy” Buffalo Wings, which are all served with a blue cheese dip.

These will usually set you back £7.95 for a small portion, or £11.50 for a large.
On top of that, from 5pm-7pm, you can also enjoy some signature cocktails for just £5 too, which includes the popular ‘Tommy’s Margarita’, made with Tequila Reposado, lime and agave – which normally costs £9.50.

And that’s not all either, as from 8pm onwards, you can soak up a live soundtrack of timeless blues and soul music from The Blues Kitchen’s world-famous resident musicians and DJs in the Concert Hall, all while you tuck into your discounted wings and cocktails.
Fancy it then?
You can either sign up ahead of Friday via the Blues Kitchen website here, or just simply walk in and feast until your heart’s content.

Beloved local restaurant passionately tears apart burglars after ‘hurtful and disappointing’ break-in
Daisy Jackson
A local Manchester restaurant has found itself the victim of a break-in, with staff wages and other goods stolen – and they’ve not exactly held back in their statement to the burglars.
The Thirsty Korean, a hugely popular name over in Chorlton, has asked customers to ‘teach them how to swear in English’ so they can adequately express their disappointment and disgust.
Owner Eunji Noh said in a passionate statement that ‘bad karma comes as well as good karma’.
She wrote: “What you did was that you fully disrespected us that we put our love, passion, effort and time to do something meaningful and great.
“We do not deserve that. I wish, you will be deserved of what you did and I hope, that it will hurt you and your life.”
The Thirsty Korean opened last year in a new spot on Wilbraham Road, serving its legendary and authentic Korean dishes like fried chicken, tteokbokki, and Korean pancakes.
Sharing CCTV images of the burglars in the restaurant, Eunji added that she hopes they will ‘one day become someone doing something right’.
She said: “Hating someone is consuming so much negative energy, therefore I really do not like to say such and it hurts me too.
“However words have a power. So I leave the message that, in any case you would ever read. You will have many bad things happening to you and you will have many bad days and I wish this bad karma will chase to you soon.”

She also wrote: “What you stole from the thirsty korean last night was paying our hard working staff wages, paying goods and supplies and our maintenance for the restaurant which assures us living tomorrow.
“It is truly hurtful and disappointing to know that there were people looking for the opportunity to steal someone’s belonging that I personally have never imagined to do by myself stealing someone’s possession and hovering and looking for a spot during the night with this bad intention.”
Addressing customers, she assured people that The Thirsty Korean will be back open for service from Wednesday.
Eunji signed off: “Eventually we all know that everything will be fine again. Spring has been always coming after winter ends.”
