Barça - Canal-side Bar, Castlefield - Manchester

Came here for a pre gig drink. Staff were rude despite it not even being that busy. £18.90 for a pint of Guinness and one Aperol Spritz, both served in plastic cups. More fool me for paying it. Would not rush back or recommend to anyone.

Surprising well organised and efficient service on a bank holiday weekend. Other places had mile long queues, the staff were friendly and everything we ordered came quickly. 5 star food and drinks, we will definitely be back!

Service always slow and rude. Beers often run out and are expensive. Dirty furniture, toilets and general bar area. Decor needs a serious update and renovation. Loads of furniture and rubbish out the back of Barca which is a massive eye sore for the area. And they play loud obnoxious music often during unsociable hours which disturbs the peace around the canal where many residents live. Total failure of a bar which is a shameful waste of a great canal location. Don't bother going here, go to the Wharf instead👍

Booked the Snug for my 30th Birthday party. Lauren, the event manager, was amazing from start to finish. I had asked for a vegetarian/vegan buffet for the event, and the team went above and beyond, two weeks later I still have people talking to me about the falafel wraps and bean burgers! The space was set up for us and it was so beautiful, the balloon arch was put together for us and the tables were set up. I don’t have many photos because we had such a fantastic time it was the lad thing on my mind! I’d happily book Barca again in future for any events I had on, it was a great space, a fantastic team, and an amazing location!

More plastic flowers and plants are not possible. Dirty, cushions dropped on the floor behind seating. When first opened Barca was great. Gone right downhill. There is no comparison to Dukes 92 or The Wharf over the canal. Awful.
