Manchester Nightlife Guide

Atchafalaya Restaurant

Atchafalaya is a true New Orleans neighborhood eatery where the eclectic yet elegant atmosphere is only outshone by the attentive service and delicious local fare. Nestled under the oaks on the edges of the Irish Channel, Magazine Street, and historic Garden districts, this hidden gem is one the best contemporary Creole dining experiences that one can find in the city. Neighbors, locals, and out of towners alike will become regulars after experiencing the brand of hospitality offered by New Orleans’ only five “A” restaurant. If having standards such as a gumbo du jour, blue crab raviolo, or shrimp &amp; grits, a nightly seafood special, or a filet paired with a selection from the world class wine program you will not be disappointed. The introductions of brunch, live music, cocktails, and now an extensive happy hour continue the newest culinary chapter for a storied local haunt, embracing New Orleans’ culinary culture while placing contemporary spin on traditional New Orleans cuisine.<br />

Blacklock Manchester

Blacklock is a modern take of the Great British chophouse nestled in the corner of a Grade II listed textiles warehouse. We take the best meat in the country from the award-winning farmer and butcher Philip Warren in Cornwall. We cook chops simply over our charcoal grill with a little help from vintage Blacklock irons and serve it all up alongside cocktails from the trolley and wine on tap in our subterranean chop mecca. On Sundays we serve a Roast almost as good as Mum's. Bookings and Walk-Ins available.<br />

Scopa Italian Roots

Italian-American Signatures. Venice After Dark. Scopa Italian Roots is the Venice restaurant that has stayed in demand for more than 11 years by betting on discipline instead of reinvention. Chef Antonia Lofaso built this kitchen on family lineage from Naples and Calabria, formal training in New York, and a career spent in high-pressure kitchens before Scopa ever opened. The food that comes out of this room is not modern Italian. It is old-school Italian-American cooked at a professional LA standard, and it holds up the same way on a packed Saturday as it does on a quiet Monday.<br />Founded by Mario Guddemi and Salvatore Aurora alongside Chef Lofaso, Scopa sits on the same hospitality backbone as Black Market Liquor Bar, The Chestnut Club, DAMA, and Old Lightning. This is a Venice institution built on neighborhood patronage and Italian tradition, not a chef vanity project.<br />2905 Washington Boulevard, Venice. Open nightly.
