Manchester’s popular New York Pizza restaurant & bar, Nell’s, has announced that it’ll be opening a brand-new location at MediaCity this autumn.
The new bar, located on MediaCity’s quayside Orange Building, will be the first Nell’s to feature private karaoke booths, shuffleboard tables, as well as a massive outdoor terrace, all alongside the brand’s signature 22-inch New York-style pizza, Ice Cream Sandwiches and frozen Margs.
“We’ve been thinking about MediaCity for a long time, it’s such a great area and we’ve seen what brilliant operators like Kargo have achieved so when this space came up, we jumped on it!” said Jonny Heyes, Co-Founder of Nell’s. “The venue is huge which has given us the chance to really play with the experience. This idea of karaoke and shuffleboard accompanying our made-for-sharing pizzas and great cocktails feels like a natural next step for us as a brand”.
The MediaCity spot will join Nell’s sites in the Northern Quarter, Kampus, Chorlton and Altrincham. Nell’s is expected to create 35+ new jobs, from kitchen positions, management and entry-level positions, and has been named in the ‘Times 100 Best Places to Work’ two years running.
