Sharing a brief statement on social media, the still bedding-in staff wrote: “Definitely not what we want to be posting but we’ve broken into for the second time in six weeks.”
As explained in the post, in addition to this most recent bit of vandalism, the brand also suffered a break-in and attempted robbery at their original city centre site on Mosley Street just over a month ago.
The pre-existing site, which has been serving up the best Chicago-style deep-dish pizza in Manchester since 2021, recently closed to make way for the upgraded venue and is currently sitting empty as they prepare to re-open it as another new spin-off.
We can’t tell you anything about what the old restaurant will become at the moment but let’s just say we’re very excited.
Put it this way, as the popular pizza spot is owned and operated by the beloved Brewksi brand, it’s hardly going to be anything else other than delicious, is it?
Most frustratingly as the post goes on to details, for the sake of security and stability in the meantime, the team are now accepting card-only payments for now.
“We can’t keep having our cash flow interrupted”, they continued; “We understand this makes it difficult for some customers but we feel like we don’t have much choice [at the minute].”
Nevertheless, they have received a wave of support online and the Manc foodie crowd made it clear they are well and truly behind “Team Pies” and, luckily, with support from the parent company, we have every faith they’ll bounce back stronger than ever as they have done before.
With their mainline food porn paradises down the road in Chorlton as well as Chester and Sheffield, Brewski has a lot of love all over the North, so we wish them all the best and hope their luck turns soon.

Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
