Cafes and bars with outdoor seating in Manchester

40 venues, ranked on what OpenStreetMap actually records about each one.

How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone wants to sit outside - with a laptop, a dog, or a group. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of cafe-type venues in Manchester. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Manchester venues are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 255 venues in Manchester that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 24 have Wi-Fi recorded and 40 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Manchester venues have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, The Matchstick Man, Feel Good Club, Cask, Caffè Nero and Caffè Nero all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these venues stay open late?

The Matchstick Man, Cask, The Gateway, Astley Arms and Station South are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these venues are step-free?

The Matchstick Man, Feel Good Club, Cask, Caffè Nero and Caffè Nero are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - outdoor seating recorded, opening hours published, wi-fi recorded, non-smoking indoors, step-free access - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
