Slug & Lettuce - Didsbury

You know that bar on Wilmslow Road that's always got a decent crowd but doesn't feel like it's trying too hard? That's your lot here. Didsbury's got enough craft coffee spots and brunch places to sink a ship, so it's nice to have somewhere that does proper cocktails without charging you twenty quid for a glass of prosecco and a smirk. The vibe is properly social—it's where you'll end up on a Friday with mates, not somewhere you're paying for the Instagram angle. Expect a solid menu of classics done right, friendly service, and the kind of place that actually remembers your regular order.
