99 Reasons is an all-day café and bar in Chorlton, serving brunch, gins, craft beer and specialty coffee in a casual setting. The café has exposed brick walls, with dark blue and wood décor creating a trendy yet relaxed space, that can transform from day to night, as the venue does.
For brunch, the team serves a range of dishes to satisfy any morning cravings. Savoury dishes include eggs Benedict, smashed avocado and poached eggs, a breakfast bagel with sausage, egg and bacon, sourdough with a fried egg and mushrooms, and, of course, a Full English breakfast. There are also sweet dishes on the menu, with granola, berries and Greek yogurt, and toasted banana bread with Greek yogurt, berries, seeds and a drizzle of honey. There are also vegan brunch options available, with a vegan Full English and a vegan sausage sandwich.
Bagels are the main lunch offering, which can be swapped for gluten-free bread or sourdough should you prefer. Fillings include bacon and brie, halloumi, pepper and pesto, and the 'New Yorker', featuring pastrami, manchego cheese, pickled gherkins and mustard. There is also a soup of the day with a bagel or sourdough. The vegan option for lunch is a vegan sausage and cheese on sourdough. If you don't fancy eating out, the café also offers takeaway and delivery through UberEats and Deliveroo, so the brunch and lunch dishes can be enjoyed from home.
99 Reasons transforms into a bar in the late afternoon, and often hosts live music. There is an open mic night every other Thursday and there are gigs on often too, sometimes without an entry fee. Enjoy the live music with the range of gins, craft beers cocktails sold at the venue. Or come down on a Sunday afternoon for two for one glasses of prosecco, in a friendly, lively atmosphere.
