About

Reserve at The Rex is one of Manchester's most sought-after rooftop destinations, combining elevated dining, expertly crafted cocktails and panoramic city views. Perched above King Street, the stylish rooftop bar features elegant indoor lounges alongside three outdoor terraces, offering some of the finest vistas across Manchester. 

Designed as a space for connection, conversation and relaxed luxury, Reserve transitions seamlessly throughout the day. It's equally suited to informal meetings, client entertaining and leisurely lunches as it is to after-work drinks, weekend gatherings and late-night cocktails. While live music on select evenings brings a fun, party-inspired energy, perfect for rooftop drinks and celebratory social occasions.

Inside, Reserve offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with cosy corners, padded banquette seating, colourful cushions and decorative mirrors creating a stylish yet relaxed setting. Outside, the spacious terrace boasts parasols, colourful accents and panoramic views across Manchester, providing an ideal backdrop for everything from casual drinks and bar snacks to a full evening meal.

The menu celebrates seasonal small plates designed for sharing, complemented by an extensive drinks list featuring signature cocktails, premium wines, Champagnes and carefully selected spirits. Whether enjoying golden hour on the terrace or settling into one of the intimate indoor spaces, warm and attentive service is always guaranteed. 

Small plates include kimchi cucumber salad, baby chorizo with crispy shallots, beef croquettes with Dijon and parsley, pimento focaccia, lamb koftas, salt and pepper chicken, grilled feta with hot honey and flatbread. Bar snacks such as nuts and vegetable crisps are also available for those stopping by for drinks.

Guests looking for something more substantial can choose from larger plates including beef or chicken burgers, fish and chips, chicken schnitzel and seasonal salads. From the grill, options include an 8oz fillet steak or chateaubriand served with a choice of sauces and sides. Desserts include sticky toffee pudding, apple crumble, a selection of French and British cheeses and ice creams.
