Flok

Nice bar with character, with decent selection of craft beer and some cocktails. The raised booths work really well and there is plenty of outdoor seating. The beers were too repetitive though, hazy pale session ales and some larger. Obviously they are needed, but it would be nice to have some variety. Only 2 of the casks were on (Monday lunchtime), which was a disappointment too. (One cask being Dunham Gold - which is brewed for strength not taste). They had run out of fresh mint, so no mojitos, meaning we went for G&T. Which with fresh lime, was very nice. Overall I would say, good bar but just needs a little more thought to the combination of the offer at the taps /pumps.

Visited here on Wednesday and was quite disappointed with the service. No staff behind the bar had to wait a while for someone to come out and be served and staff were quite unfriendly. Staff were painting the blackboards and there was black paint on one of the chairs which stained my friends clothing. Shame as have had good experiences here in the past

Absolutely fantastic people. Had a medical emergency with a friend. I could not remember their names, but they helped my northern Irish friend. The bouncer and bartender who helped - I hope you know who you are, because you are both wonderful people.

A brilliant introduction to Manchester’s Northern Quarter. The outdoor seating created a fantastic atmosphere that was buzzing without being overwhelming. Drinks were well priced and the location made it a great spot to soak up the lively vibe.

Vistited on a Tuesday afternoon so obviously quiet. Fantastic bar,good line up of beers. Cool vintage decor too.

Yes go there. My feelings there.....dirtiness and happiness.....it s not dirty.....just the feeling u are home. Nothing sparkling perfect or posh or fake luxury......it s Manchester.....u ll be happy satisfied settled comfy and excited and relaxed as well. U can sit and eat and drink or to all of this and watch and explore the space and place. Downstairs or upstairs no chance to be bored.....furniture on the walls or fantastic menu on the table.....in the dirtiness and happiness of Manchester.....after meal go out and just walk and watch the walls.....u ll love the Man

Nice place; I've been here many times—excellent service, reasonably priced and a friendly place. The only issue I ever have here is the male toilets! Ufffffff ☹️😢 Always loads of flies, and the smell stings my eyes.

Visited in a Saturday night for a cocktail. Ordered a mojito to be told they didn’t have any, changed my order to a passion fruit martini (£8.95) expecting a freshly made cocktail but was soon disappointed when the bar tender pulled out a premixed bottle which they added to to a cocktail shaker with ice and shook away like they were out of the movie cocktail! The place stank and the toilets looked like a war zone and it was only about 8pm. Place is over priced, filthy and I would avoid at all costs!

I would like to take this moment to record that I got seriously into vermouth and sherry 3 years ago in Madrid, and I totally called this craze. OK fine, my 84 year old dad has been drinking martini rosso (with gin! and no mixer!) nightly since I was born. He is the original and best. So Flok has vermut on tap, which is the most exciting thing you could deliver to me in a bar really, although tbh I was surprised to see it as £4.50 for 50ml, when you can buy an entire bottle of sweet vermouth in ASDA (which yes, I have done). The bar looks nice, although they did that thing where they leave all the walls all unpainted and peeling (or maybe even deliberately create that look) which is somewhat wearing. The stools I due to my large butt and leather skirt found difficult to stay afloat on but generally this place has a good amount of seating, although it's a shame all the really comfortable seats are in giant booths a couple would feel awkward commandeering. They have various cask beers which was pleasantly surprising and means you could bring any combo of friends here and they would find something to drink, although it also means it doesn't have the chilled wine bar vibe as groups of loud men have a viable drinking session here. The sherry menu is pretty good and we found the oloroso very interesting, almost sake-like. The darkest sherry we tried basically tasted exactly like Sunmaid Raisins, but that one note happens to be pretty delicious! The main criticism I would have of this place is the dearth of drinks menus, which was totally bizarre. Mine was borrowed pretty quickly and that was basically a direct loss of revenue for the bar as we gave up trying to figure out what else was available. They also probably need to rethink the size of their serving area/staff as happily this place was busy and the queue shouldn't be 3 deep at somewhere not even making cocktails.
