Blacklock Manchester
Blacklock Manchester is a steak and chop house in the basement of a Grade II listed former textile warehouse on Peter Street, beside the Albert Hall. It grills big sharing chops through the week and serves a Sunday roast cooked over open coals, with walk-ins welcome at the bar.

The setting
The restaurant occupies a cosy basement beneath Peter Street in a listed building that once belonged to a textile merchant. Blacklock began in London and also has branches in Soho, the City, Shoreditch, Covent Garden, Canary Wharf and Birmingham, so its Manchester outpost brings a well-tested formula north.
What to order
Big chops are the reason to come: porterhouse, prime rib, bone-in sirloin and lamb rump, with sides built for sharing. On Mondays, Butcher Price Monday sells those big cuts by weight all day until the board runs out. On Sundays only the roast menu is served, with Yorkshire puddings, unlimited gravy and a barbecued cauliflower option for vegetarians. Butcher Price Monday is a good-value way to try the larger cuts if you are a group.
Booking and nearby
Book online for groups of up to eight, especially for Sundays and Mondays; walk-ins can wait at the bar. Drinks include cocktails, local beers and wine on tap. Peter Street is a nightlife strip, so you're close to the Albert Hall and Albert's Schloss, and Albert Square is a few minutes' walk away. Look out for the local beer brewed in collaboration with Runaway Brewery.
