Didsbury favourite Rustik has confirmed its will sadly be closing this month

Rustik West Didsbury closing for good end of the month

West Didsbury favourite Rustik has sadly announced it will be closing for food after a decade at the end of this month.

The beloved Burton cafe and bar has been a staple of the tight-knit foodie neighbourhood since 2015, but now the independent Irish eatery has confirmed that the business will be shutting down permanently in less than a fortnight.

Confirmed on Wednesday afternoon, 17 September, the casual Manc restaurant and hangout informed their loyal followers of the unfortunate news.

Unsurprisingly, their social media has been awash with condolences, collective sadness and support for the local institution.

A post shared by Rustik (@rustikwestdidsbury)

Posting across all of their accounts, Rustik wrote: “After an unforgettable 10 years on Burton Road, the time has come to close our doors. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come — never in a million years did we imagine Rustik would grow into what it became.

“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single one of you who walked through our doors and supported us along the way. We poured everything we had — our time, our energy, our lives into making Rustik a space for everyone. And what a ride it’s been.

“From the chaotic, beautiful brunch shifts to late nights dancing on tables to ‘Wagon Wheel’, pushing through the challenges of COVID and helping our community with meals during hard times— we’ve done it all, together.

“To our amazing staff, past and present: thank you for your hard work, your dedication, and the love you brought every single day. You helped build something truly special, and we’ll never be able to thank you enough.

“To the incredible musicians who filled our space with life — keep doing what you do. The noise complaints? 100% worth the unforgettable nights.”

On a personal note, we’d like to thank them for their cult classic pub quizzes, which were some of the best in Manchester and regularly packed out every week. If you know, you know.

The team go on to detail that the official closing date is Tuesday, 30 September, reiterating that it is “business running as usual until then” and urging fans to “come down, grab your last Rustik fix, and raise a glass with us one final time.”

Signing off with an emotional farewell, they add: “Lastly, a message close to our hearts: please support your local cafes, bars, and independents. Hospitality is tough right now, and they need your support more than ever.

“Thank you for the most incredible decade of our lives. It’s over and out from us.”

It goes without saying that we’re gutted to see Rustik go and know how much it meant not only to the Burton Road community, but also to the Didsbury community, Chorlton and many other Greater Manchester natives.

Korean fried chicken

A brand-new Korean fried chicken restaurant and cocktail bar is set to open on Canal Street this week.

CLUK is promising some big deals and amazing giveaways to celebrate its launch in Manchester, including free food and prize draws.

The newcomer in the heart of the city will specialise in Korean-style crispy fried chicken, but also warming ramen bowls, and salt & pepper classics.

Signature dishes will include Korean cheese-powder fried chicken, and Cheese Volcano Chicken.

CLUK will also serve dishes like kimchi cheese loaded fries, salt & pepper chicken, and huge sharing platters.

You can customise your Korean fried chicken order by size, choosing between wings and boneless and picking a flavour out of honey garlic, sweet and spicy, honey mustard, and honey and sour.

They promise it’ll all be ‘saucy, crunchy, and seriously addictive’.

That’s all washed down with ice-cold beers and creative cocktails, like martinis, spritzes and sours.

CLUK is now open in the Gay Village in Manchester

And there are big prizes available – the top prize is a £100 gift card or £50 cash, with other prizes including free drinks, food and a £3 voucher as a consolation prize.

Plus, anyone who buys a gift card and tops it up with £100 will receive a free beer or cider.

When those two weeks are up, CLUK will run a £1,000 prize draw.
