Turning up without booking at 1.45pm on a Sunday to one of Timeout's Top 5 places for a Sunday Roast, may not have been the wisest thing but the staff were really accommodating and managed to squeeze my wife & daughter in for lunch. And the food was excellent. We shared the Electrik platter, whilst Laura had the kids Roast Beef. The portion sizes were generous and the food was really tasty. We finished off with an amazing (and huge) slice of Chocolate Cake and an excellent cappuccino. The service was outstanding, all of the staff seemed genuinely interested in looking after the customers and pleased to help. Highly recommended.
Great environment, and wonderful staff. Food is always great, and the beer is even better. I helped set this place up when they first opened there doors to Chorlton, and they have totally embraced the culture and vibe of Chorltonites. Please keep it up guys, as you always have. Thanks for keeping the beer fresh, the environment fresher, and the music freshest in Chorlton. I guess what I am really saying is, stay "ELECTRIK"
Fantastic service and delicious vegan options. We had a mixed bean and sweet potato burger with spicy salad and a slice of gluten free berry cake. The waiter put me at ease with his detailed description of how the meal was modified to be vegan friendly. I will be back. :)
Barman best service . Most welcoming . Great music , vibe , atmosphere ....: 100% try it
Tastiest Sunday roast I've had in a long time. Really helpful and friendly staff would 100% recommend to anyone!
Food is gorgeous, I would definitely recommend the beef & onion toastie with dripping gravy....so delicious. The staff are very helpful & friendly too x
Great food, nice selection of beers on tap, friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere helped along by the dog-friendly policy. Loving the Sunday platters and homemade desserts too!
My Favourite bar by a mile in Chorlton, Music is always spot on and not generic rubbish, the beer is always good and has an amazing selection and the food is also very good. Hard to beat!!
Popped in for dinner and drinks last night with an old friend, food was excellent and great value, staff really friendly and attentive ��
Not a Sunday without an Electrik roast anymore. Really friendly staff who managed to find us an amazing table during a very busy service without a booking (thanks Josh!) �
Best Sunday roast around, the meat platter is fantastic

New menu is delicious. Perfect little sunday hang out xx
Lovely environment amazing food and a great choice of beers �
If the title of this post means absolutely nothing to you, don’t be alarmed. Electrik is a friendly neighbourhood bar and restaurant in the popular Manchester suburb of Chorlton, while Yadda Yadda is the kitchen ‘takeover project’ that has now turned into their full-time menu fare.
As I mentioned in a previous post, Electrik is probably my favourite bar in the Chorlton centre amongst some high quality competition. They've got an amazing beer choice, and a chilled, scruffy vibe, plus they make a seriously good mojito. On the rare occasion we go clubbing in town these days, we always meet there first for a cocktail. But I've never eaten at Electrik , despite hearing good things about their Sunday dinner. I popped in today for a burger. I was very tempted by the Electrikuted Dog; Giant smoked pork dog smothered in chilli and cheese (£6.80). I've seen photos of this beast on twitter. But as tomorrow I plan to go to Dogs & Dough in town, I opted for the Electrified Burger; beef chilli, cheese, Jalapenos, our own dirty sauce (£8.50). Being the greedy sort I also had to get the Mucky Electrikfied spicy fries , cheese sauce and Jalapenos (£4.50). As usual, I had eyes bigger than my belly. Bloody hell it was huge when it arrived.
The vibe is funky, with a great jukebox and playlists from staff, public and the Manchester great and good like Guy Garvey . By day it's a relaxed eating/drinking joint with a book exchange, wifi and daily papers. By night the atmosphere steps up a gear and gets quite busy with locals appreciating the music and sampling the victuals. Food is as relaxed as the surrou

Located very close to Chorlton Tram Station is this charming cafe where you can find the most gorgeous strawberry and white chocolate cake. My coffee snob friend said that he absolutely adores the coffee here because of the great beans they use (says a lot). I had a flat white without syrup (I need caramel in my drink) and to my surprise I actually liked it! The decor inside is very chilled out and warm with comfortable couches with an artsy feel. The waiters were very friendly as well, happily chatting about things on the menu. There is an outdoor seating area as well which is perfect for soaking up the rare sunshine we get in Manchester. But when the sun sets this place takes a complete different turn and transforms into a buzzing pub and it seems like they have a good range of DJ's playing here as well. The crowd is mostly young professionals so you are not expecting any kind of brawls here (phew).
Verdict : Definitely going back again when I am in the hood!
Fantastic Parmo's of various kinds, good value and filling. They always have a Deya on which is one of my favourite of the craft breweries, on this visit they had 2 from Deya. But there is a wide choice of drinks and cocktails. My new favourite Chorlton drinking place.
27/06/23: been here a few times over the years, but seem to have not left a review. Great selection on craft ale, although we did have a poor pint, as it was off. Took it back, tasted, agreed and replenished with a different one. Great service. Dog friendly!

I’m a very happy customer. I did unfortunately miss happy hour for the Guinness which I have been assured is not a thing, but I felt that it must have been, however the staff corrected me (politely) and were incredibly friendly. I must say that since I originally considered leaving this review - due to the high quality level of service - I have frequented several times - and each of the staff members is more personable than I could have ever have been led to believe and the Sunday night Dj set was - how they say - popping off. The DJ shared the name of the record he was playing, which you wouldn’t get at a northern soul do. All a white label affair at those do’s. I must salute the tattooed woman whom I believe may have been pregnant from my psychic intuition. She was incredibly helpful and pointed me to a happy hour beer that she thought I may enjoy. I must attest, I did! She was a frightfully engaging conversationalist, but she wasn’t afraid to apologise to me when she had to serve her valued customers. Thanks for the memories.
Dropped in for a cappuccino early Friday evening. Best coffee I’ve had for ages, friendly service and welcoming vibes. Well done
Awesome joint!! Massive amount of food per serving! Bar person was awesome and a great vibe dj from 7pm on!!
Glad we stopped in travelling from Aus 💯
I came here for a drinks social and had a great time. There was a nice atmosphere and the staff were great.
Only had drinks in this place and it is good for all ages.
Family friendly and dog friendly pub.
Recommended!
Parmos are on another level. If you’ve never tried one, do it. Being from the north east I’ve eaten a few parmos in my time, and this was definitely up there. You’ll never look back.
We came for the happy hour £5 cocktails (until 7.30) and Quingo (Tues from 7.30ish - quiz and bingo). Great place, cool vibe, great spressy marts. Bar service is really quick. The quiz itself is really accessible and fun with loads of opportunities for prizes!
Always been a great bar since it opened. Good beers and great atmosphere.
Sunday lunches, especially the sharing plates are immense. The current pizza pop-up menu is also awesome.
Manchester stalwart and Chorlton favourite, Electrik is great place for beers and music. A good selection of different drinks and real character.
Cool vibes, I've heard frequently have some great guest DJs like Andy Burnham (mayor of Greater Manchester)
And the unlimited pizza slices for £5 is pretty gosh darn good - people bring them round on a Long wood tray quite regularly and they have interesting and tasty flavours💛
Good cocktails and beers, great staff :) every Friday our favorite place 👍
I think this is a great bar- nice atmospheric lighting, good music but not too loud, good selection of drinks at a reasonable price, nice crowd and mix of people, friendly staff. I was visiting from London for the weekend and went twice.
As a Teessider it’s great to have a good parmo! Home from home
One of chorltons excellent bars. Well worth spending some time in.
