We spotted Gorilla on a walk back from Junkyard golf and decided to stay for brunch. The food menu is great and there's lots to choose from - you won't be disappointed! My boyfriend has the chicken tenders which he said were great and I opted for the smashed avocado and feta poached eggs which is one of the best i've tried! I will definitely be back to try the pancakes!

When I think of its abundant juices mixing with the creamy garlic aioli I go into a bit of a drooling stupor. Now I’ve discovered that they offer the most amazing upgrade to their fries (thanks The Greedy Girl ) with truffle oil and parmesan, I’m considering setting up camp under one of the tables in the gin parlour or perhaps in a toilet cubicle, so I’m never far away from that truffly scent. It’s not just the food I adore – Gorilla is essentially a bar after all – it’s the drinks that get me going back, time and time again.

The BURGER (Toasted sesame brioche bun, pickles, butterhead lettuce, Trof recipe burger sauce, aged cheddar - £8.50) was equally as good. The Stilton we added as an extra (£1) was well worth it as it adds that tang. The standard fries were perfect, light crispy and loads of little crunchy bits at the bottom.
Starting with ‘Grilled Halloumi’, bite size chunks of everybody’s favourite squeaky cheese that had been marinated in lime and chilli with coriander, roasted red onions and peppers. It’s hard to go wrong with halloumi and this was perfectly enjoyable, though i’d have liked a bit more chilli heat.
For my main I ordered the 32 day, dry aged Cheshire Rib Eye Steak with garlic and rosemary potatoes and béarnaise sauce. The steak was excellent quality and tasted great despite being cooked a little longer than requested. The béarnaise too was well balanced. The rosemary and garlic potatoes were very strongly flavoured and thoroughly enjoyable.
Visited for food and drinks.
Very nice food and drinks here. The food came out really quickly but we had an issue with drinks taking a while, and on one round 3 different waiters forgot to place our drinks order.
Overall though a nice visit here at a decent price.
The atmosphere was also very good.
We had the Sunday Roast with some of the extras, like pigs in blankets and the cauliflower cheese, everything was delicious, but the seasonal veg was below par, basically 50% red onion chopped into quarters and a bit under done, that was the only negative, the service was great and the selection of drinks is excellent. We will be back again.
Amazing cocktails and food, great atmosphere and brilliant, helpful and friendly staff. After eating our meals we went next door to the club to watch a band. Great little live music venue. My only criticism would be we would have liked a few more choices on the bottle bar, but overall we had a fantastic night.
Absolutely lovely food and great service! Had 3 tacos (chicken, pork and bhaji) and they are heavenly! Would definitely come here again 🫣
Nice food in terms of quality, taste and presentation. My highlight of the meal was the blueberry banana smoothie, it was so fresh and natural. I like it very much. Staffs are friendly, we were having lunch, the environment was quiet, this was the fourth time I came to this restaurant and definitely will come back in future.
Great little club, ideal for gigs, tiny bar but great service, little balcony for anyone wanting to sit also, stage is a great height so everyone can see and interact. Great venue for gigs. Bar is really comfortable as well.
Always good food here, been loving their roasts before the pandemic, and yesterday I went back here for the first time. Ordered the chargrilled chicken which was accompanied by the most amazing chimicurri sauce, crunchy roast potatoes and fresh veggies. The use of good quality sea salt lifted this dish to the next level. Would def order again!
Love this place! Great choice of cocktails. We went for brunch which I would highly recommend. The food was great and they also cater for vegans
Really good service and very tasty food. Atmosphere is good with classic rock music in the background.
To the chef: The Reuben bagel was good, but it's not comparable to the Eat New York version.
My first time I was invited by Narrow Margin Tameside band to write a review on their comeback gig ! A real gritty place which encourages our new bands to play & to get discovered ! Truly an an amazing place to be seen & spotted ! Fantastic for the music scene! In the heart of Manchester’s music scene !
