Flawd

Something different for a Sunday. We parked up at the Etihad stadium and walked down the canal to New Islington Marina. Stopped at Flawd, really friendly wine bar and had a light snack, the pea blend and selection of cold meats accompanied with a quality glass of wine. Extremely nice team running the place, very welcoming, a good vibe a quality food. Well worth the trip, if you are wondering, it is a 5k loop, so not far. We will be back, they have a beer fridge full of inquisitive looking beers. Next time I’ll take the tram!

Great spot for some fine wine and good food. We starte son just a couple of glasses of natural wines, but we're swayed into a full bottle of chilled red wine. The selection is great, but the view, especially on a sunny day is perfect. Plenty of space to sit in or outside, but if there weather's good, be prepared to sit on the floor outside 😅

Had a (super) quick plate of food and a beer & will definitely be heading back for more. It’s tiny but has decent outside seating and occupies a lovely spot on the marina - it’s amazing to see how this area has really settled into being its own thing. The place is clearly the work of people that care for and love the products they serve and environment in which they work: service was genuinely friendly and the food was excellent in a way that showed care and understanding for the ingredients. You couldn’t for much more from a neighbourhood business, and it was a real pleasure to visit.

Flawd was my very first stop on my very first trip to Manchester and it was the perfect introduction to the city. The vibe is fantastic, the selection of natural wines is incredible and the menu of small plates is expertly curated and executed, and oh so delicious! Many of the ingredients are locally grown on a farm managed by the owners. A great experience overall. I will definitely be back!
