While its reputation as a global foodie paradise is no secret, Manchester is naturally at its culinary best when diners can bring their own booze. As you’d expect, there are more than enough establishments to make our list.
Here are some of the region’s best BYOB restaurants.
South Manchester’s hub of handmade Neapolitan pizza, Double Zero operates a no-strings BYOB policy for guests who want to chase the wood-fired thin crust majesty with Riesling, rum or anything in between.
Beloved across the region, Yara serves the best in Levantine cuisine with a longstanding BYOB policy for wine and beer across all its restaurants. From Bury to Cheshire, diners can gorge on wonderfully affordable classic Lebanese and Syrian dishes and soak up the endless pita without incurring a hefty drinks tab.
Offering Katsu curries, poke bowls, nigiri and more, Prestwich’s brand new Pan-Asian diner lets visitors bring their own drinks as part of its commitment to high-quality sushi in an easygoing atmosphere.
Serving fresh Middle Eastern cuisine out of its Barlow Moor Road premises for decades, neighbourhood favourite Jasmine has been BYOB the entire time. Open until 11pm on weekends, the Chorlton mainstay continues to send satisfied residents home with heavy stomachs and light heads.
Further afield, The Fisherman’s Table offers cosy fine dining in one of Greater Manchester’s prettiest towns. Serving fresh, sumptuous seafood dishes alongside any drinks you want, Marple’s first fish restaurant has won the TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Award for two consecutive years.
With Lebanese food and alcohol seemingly one of humanity’s most significant alchemic discoveries, Levantine restaurant Zena invites guests to complement their endless array of Middle Eastern delights with their own selection of beer or wine.
Not too long ago we wrote about one of our favourite meals in recent memory courtesy of the folks at Peru Perdu. Well, for just a fiver corkage, they’ll now even let you bring your own bottle of wine on a Monday to go alongside all those stunning South American dishes.

An ostensibly unlikely entry as one of Manchester’s higher-end restaurants, Hawksmoor reinforces its commitment to unpretentious luxury by encouraging diners to pair the immaculate cuts of steak with their own wine, all day every Monday. Whether it’s an Echo Falls miniature or a jeroboam of Bollinger, you can bring any accompaniment you want for a £5 corkage fee.
