Handmade bistro-style dishes and pizza served in a sprawling warehouse space with artworks.
ARTISAN is set in a vast, 12,000 square foot, semi-industrial space on the first floor of The Avenue North, in Spinningfields, Manchester.
Cooking at Artisan goes back to basics in the fire – serving flatbreads, meat, fish & salads, it’s casual dining at its best.
The unusual 20-foot bar serves handcrafted cocktails, alongside cherry picked beers, wines & spirits in a space that blends artist’s loft studio and concrete warehouse: stripped back & raw, showcasing paintings, print, sculptures, murals & art installations by contemporary artists.
Open throughout the day, seven days a week, Artisan serves a diverse menu, with huge roasts on a Sunday, and keeps the city refreshed with drinks and music into the night.
Looking to host a meeting or event? Artisan has three unique private dining rooms; On street level, the Drawing Room has indoor and outdoor seating, while the Studio and Gallery provide special spaces upstairs, which cater to all of your needs.
