Great venue for Retirement do

I booked this bar for a joint Police retirement do on Friday 25th May 2018, for around 200 people.it has an upstairs bar with outside roof terrace,which is a big enough venue for a large gathering. I initially made contact by e-mail with the bar manager Sarah,who promptly replied with various options in relation to time and date and food available.Every query I e-mailed was answered promptly by Sarah or her colleague Alex,who were very helpful,in me making this the choice for a joint retirment venue so we went ahead and booked it. Prior to the date of the do,we went there in the afternoon and had lunch, which was excellent,and I recommend for a pit stop if your ever in Manchester,and near the bar one afternoon. On the evening of our retirement venue we arrived at 5.30pm, and found the bar area upstairs was all ready and set up as we had requested,and there was plenty of bar staff to cope with the expected crowd of people. By 8pm when we had requested food be served,the staff brought out a wonderful selection of our requested choice of sandwiches and chunky chips,samosas etc, amongst other food items which was plenty enough to cater for all the guests present,all at a reasonable price. The venue came to an end at mid night,with everyone having had a good night. Great venue,Great staff service, great food afternoons and evenings.Great value for money,so I would recommend the RAINBAR ,and probably use it again for other future celebrations.

Wedding Reception

Both myself and my husband would like to thank Alex, Sarah and all of the team at Rain Bar. Also Simon the previous manager who helped with our arrangements. We had the most amazing evening at the bar and all our guests who hadn't visited the venue previously were blown away by this hidden gem. Sarah and Alex couldn't have done enough to carry out all our requests. The stress of the day was taken away from ourselves regarding setting out the room...it looked amazing ! The canapes and buffet were excellent quality and plentiful. We had so many compliments about how everyone enjoyed it. From start to finish everything was carried out so professionally . We would highly recommend Rain Bar for any function.

Great party venue

We held our evening wedding party in the function room at Rain Bar earlier this month. We had great support from Sarah organising the party . It's a lovely room and the balcony was a great hit with the guests ( it did help that we had great weather). All the food was amazing and the staff that looked after us on the night couldn't do enough for us. A highly recommended place if your looking for a party venue. We have eaten the the bar a few times and the food in the main bar is great too.

Amazing Wedding Reception

We had our wedding reception in the room above the main bar, this was a great space that we could set up in whatever way we wanted. All the staff (especially Sarah!) made the night perfect for us, they did everything they could and made sure the bar was always well staffed, that our needs were met and that everything went smoothly. We had a large buffet with a great range of foods all of which was loved by our guests and it was very reasonably priced. Sarah made it really easy for us to get everything we wanted from the night and was so helpful the next day when we went to collect our gifts, decorations, etc that we couldn't take with us the night before. Sinead and I can't recommend Rain Bar enough, we were so happy we decided to go with them for our wedding reception, they took all the stress out of it, we felt in safe hands from the minute we met Sarah. Thankyou so much Rain Bar
