About the restaurant

Dukes 92 was originally a stable block for the horses delivering foods off barges to the Merchants warehouse opposite. From these humble begininngs the building now houses Manchester's original bar and grill which has been refurbished and extended three times since its opening in 1991 the space today is informal and airy with the buildings heritage being reflected in a subtle blend of antique furniture and modern fixed seating.
With its most recent refurbishment Dukes can now properly call itself a venue with two bars, three private events spaces, a grill restaurant, excellent smoking facilities, canalside terrace and balcony overlooking the canal basin. Dukes continued appeal relies on its ability to transform from a relaxed, family friendly environment by day to a vibrant and stylish bar and grill by night.
The space has been extended and refurbished since its opening in 1991 and inside its interior combines contemporary features and its trademark antique furniture.

Fantastic experience. I found this restaurant on a list of "top ten wheelchair accessible restaurants in Manchester" and it really didn't disappoint. The food was excellent and there was a reasonable number of gluten free options. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful, and more than happy to produce the allergens menu. Access wise, my only points of caution would be that the bathroom door opens in instead of out, and that the street outside is cobbled. Will genuinely be recommending to others

About the restaurant

Obsessive about ingredients, meticulous about preparation, and passionate about impact. Purezza started with a simple question: how do we do pizza better? Several years later, we’re the answer.

With restaurants in Brighton, Hove, London and Bristol, and a delivery branch in Brixton, we look forward to feeding you soon.
