There’s a bottomless brunch in Manchester where you can drink endless cups of rum punch and eat unlimited portions of chicken wings, and it sounds like absolute heaven.
Launched by the hit BBQ restaurant, bar, and music venue The Blues Kitchen, chicken wing fans can enjoy 90 minutes of non-stop munching for £12 per person (or £20 for two people).
Served with a tasty blue cheese dip and celery, those heading down can expect to find giant platters of The Blues Kitchen’s legendary buffalo (or Korean) wings on offer every Sunday.
First launched in February this year, it has been described by the venue as ‘the ultimate wing-eating challenge.’
Of course, when you’re eating that much buffalo sauce chances are you’re going to want a few drinks to wash all that spice down. This is where The Blues Kitchen’s bottomless drinks deal comes in.
Only available to order with food, there are two 90 minutes bottomless drinks options to choose from: unlimited rum punch and mimosas for £19.95 or unlimited glasses of prosecco for £21.96.
As the drinks and food packages are available to order separately, if you don’t feel like housing down a hundred chicken wings but still want to go bottomless there are plenty of other options here too.
From hot buffalo chicken and buttermilk fried shrimp sandwiches to double bacon cheese smash burgers, plates of huevos rancheros, smoked baby back ribs, cajun blackened salmon and smoked salmon and eggs, there’s a huge range of tempting choices to pick from.

Small plates, meanwhile, include the likes of cheeseburger spring rolls, smashed avocado tostadas and Szechuan baby back ribs, with prices starting from just £7.50.
As of June, the team has also introduced Korean wings to its bottomless deal. Available every Sunday throughout the month between 12pm – 6pm, guests can feast on bottomless Korean wings coated in sweet and lightly-spiced Guochang sauce for only £12.
First launched in Manchester two summers ago, the BBQ, bourbon and blues music venue doesn’t just boast a brilliant kitchen but also a a star-studded lineup of music performers in its upstairs venue.
Inside Voyeur, a mysterious new post-punk 80s-inspired cocktail bar
Daisy Jackson
A brand new cocktail bar is set to open in Manchester this week, with dark and mysterious interiors, 80s inspiration, and a raunchy theme.
Voyeur is opening in the heart of the Northern Quarter, and here it’s all about modern drinks in a post-punk 80s setting.
The walls are decorated with beautiful voyeurism photography from the 80s, including artists like David Hockney, Nick Taggart, and Malerie Marder.
Even the menus celebrate the artistic side of voyeurism, with drinks presented within a book of photography.
Those drinks include creative twists on drinks dating back more than a century, from the Kaleidescope of Lies (a two-in one cocktail inspired by a pina colada, with a strawberry daiquiri foam top) to The Voyeur (made with coriander-infused tequila for a savoury punch).
There’ll be monthly themed specials, kicking off with The Breakfast Club, where seasonal drinks take inspiration from Lucky Charms cereal, chai latte and an acai bowl.

The dark space is lit by marble table lamps and a glittering green disco ball (and not much else), perfect for an evening spent sipping cocktails into the early hours.
Between Thursdays and Sundays, Voyeur will have DJs spinning vinyls.
Voyeur is opening this week on Oldham Street and will be open from 5pm to 2am between Tuesday and Sunday.
A brand-new dessert, ice-cream and doughnut shop in a former Manc food spot
Thomas Melia
Sweet lovers and dessert connoisseurs alike, a brand-new dessert, ice-cream and doughnut shop is opening in Manchester city centre this month.
Titled ‘Baby Mayhem’, this sweet-filled shop has been teasing its arrival for the past month with videos showcasing everything from new instalments to their graffiti-style logo.
This brand-new opening will be located on Radium Street, not too far away from Chinese superstar Wing Yip and fellow sweet treat specialists, Flat Baker, right in the heart of Ancoats.
The interior has been given a very nice and bright facelift too, going from an all white four-walled site to a bold and distinctive baby pink-covered site.
Manchester seems to have quite the sweet tooth at the moment, as it was only last month that our Northern Quarter was christened by cake gods, Get Baked.
As for this new dessert shop, they’re starting from scratch, with a temporary wooden window frame with their branding spray-painted onto it fitted ahead of their soft launch later this week.
Baby Mayhem is taking up residence in the much-loved Lazy Tony’s Lasagneria shop, and it really is out with the old, in with the new, as the familiar neon ‘No Lasagne’ sign has been traded for a sweeter read of ‘Fresh Donuts’.
It may be Yank spelling, but this still feels Manc through and through.
Case and point: all their signage, stamps and stencils have been done by local laser cutting service and neighbours, Drawn By The Light – also on Radium Street.

Baby Mayhem are taking sweet treats to the complete extreme, serving up everyone’s beloved combo of coffees and cakes, while also creating our soon-to-be-favourite indulgence: doughnut sandwiches. 10/10, no notes – genius.
There really are no complaints here; what’s not to love?
Baby Mayhem is taking up residence in the former Lazy Tony’s site, 23 Radium Street in Ancoats, and will be serving up their sweet treats for all to try from this Saturday, 26 April.
