For well over a decade, Trof has been a cornerstone of Manchester’s Northern Quarter, a laid-back yet lively spot that seamlessly shifts from buzzy brunches to after-dark revelry. Housed in a multi-level, wood-clad hideaway, it exudes a cosy, old-school charm, complete with chesterfield sofas and a dedicated bourbon bar on the first floor.

A go-to for weekend brunch, long lazy lunches, and casual dinners, Trof’s menu champions comfort food with a twist. From hearty classics to seasonal specials, there’s something to suit every appetite. Sunday roasts are a serious draw, offering generous portions in a relaxed, sociable setting, while a weekday happy hour keeps the drinks flowing at pocket-friendly prices.

The drinks menu is a major highlight, boasting an impressive bourbon selection, rotating craft beers, and well-executed cocktails. Whether you’re settling in with a post-work pint, exploring rare American whiskeys, or easing into an all-day session, Trof’s welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal haunt for any occasion.

Beyond food and drink, Trof keeps things lively with weekly quizzes, resident DJs, and acoustic gigs, ensuring there’s always a reason to stick around. A true Northern Quarter stalwart, this is a spot where brunch turns into beers, and an afternoon catch-up can easily become an impromptu night out.
