Terrace NQ, a vibrant bar nestled in Manchester's Northern Quarter, stands out as a gem in the city's nightlife landscape. Customers appreciate its stunning roof terrace, which offers a unique outdoor ambiance, making it a perfect escape from the hustle of city life. Helen Faulkner praised the welcoming atmosphere, noting the terrace's partial cover that shields patrons from fluctuating weather conditions while enjoying a fantastic drink selection. The bar’s offering includes an impressive range of beverages such as the popular Catena Malbec and creative cocktails like the Old Fashioned, appealing to various tastes. Martin Farrow described his late-night experience, highlighting the convenient upstairs bar, which minimizes disruption to your revelry. The attentive and helpful staff enhance the overall experience, ensuring that every visit is enjoyable, even as the evenings stretch into the early hours. While Sean pointed out the bustling atmosphere, he also acknowledged the premium cocktail prices typical of city-center venues. Despite this, the vibrant vibe, friendly interactions, and great beer selection, as noted by Mike P, make Terrace NQ a must-visit for both locals and visitors alike. With its friendly service and charming terrace, Terrace NQ invites you to savor the essence of Manchester’s lively bar scene.

Really cool bar in the northern quarter. Roof terrace is gorgeous. Part covered, so even if it's the usual Manchester weather, u can shelter. Only had drinks. Nice staff, good selection of drinks....thoroughly recommend

Upstairs and outdoors in the Northern Quarter - a real gem with unique outdoor feeling in the middle of the city. At night it reminded me of dark evenings in florida but without the depressing humidity. There is a bar upstairs in the terrace so you don't have to go down to get drinks and the staff were lovely, really helpful with the drinks as we descended into drunkenness- eventually leaving at around 0300 in the morning.

26/04/25: Trac Brewing: Sonoma pale ale 27/11/23: one of my fav places in Northern Quarter. Always a great selection of craft ale, craft beer and cider! 21/08/23: Vault City: Blueberry & Limoncello sour and Track Brewery: Sonoma November 2022: photo update. September 2022: another day, another visit. This time with Archibald! Noticed the inside outside area, which we must have missed this Summer. Looks fantastic. Terrace NQ as usual has a great beer and craft ale selection. We went for Vocation; Sunset Overdrive Pina Colada sour, 5.5% and Vocation; Bread & Butter dry hopped ale, 3.9%

Cosy and perfect for a date night. Lots of choices of drink with a wide variety of beers, both on draught and bottled/canned. A little hidden compared to other bars down the same street but well worth the visit
