10 Tib Manchester: Hospo Hangout

Every city has a restaurant that quietly becomes the spot. Not the one plastered all over Instagram, but the one whispered about between chefs, bartenders, and front-of-house teams as the place. In Manchester right now, that place is 10 Tib.

Step inside and you’ll understand why.

The Room

The first impression is all about atmosphere. 10 Tib has that rare balance: stylish but not staged.

Brick walls, low light, and just enough buzz in the air to make you lean in closer to your company. It’s comfortable without trying too hard. You could happily bring a date here, just as you could stumble in after a late shift and still feel right at home.

It’s a space that invites you to stay longer than planned – and plenty do.

I would eat this every day for every meal…

The Food :

The food deserves its own spotlight. Let’s start with the steak tartare. It’s one of those classic dishes that can feel predictable, but here it’s anything but. Fresh, sharp, perfectly seasoned – the kind of tartare that wakes up your palate and keeps you going back for “just one more forkful.”

Then comes the monkfish with pistachio. Monkfish has a tendency to dominate a plate, but paired with pistachio it becomes playful, even elegant. Firm, sweet, nutty – it’s the sort of dish that makes you grin mid-bite.

You’ll consider ordering a second serving before you’ve even finished the first.

The Drinks

And then there’s the cocktails. This isn’t the sort of bar where you get fluff and dry ice for the sake of it. These drinks are proper. Negronis with bite. Martinis that actually taste of gin. Sours that are sharp enough to keep you honest. Each one thought about, balanced, and confidently delivered.

It’s dangerously easy to stay for a second round… and then a third.

Tastes as good as it looks …..

The People

What makes 10 Tib special isn’t just the menu or the décor. It’s the people. The owners are part of Manchester’s hospitality fabric, and they’ve built a space that reflects that. This is a hospo hotspot – the kind of place where chefs, bartenders, and servers gather after hours to swap stories, laugh too loudly, and recharge.

That energy spills into the whole restaurant. Sit at the bar long enough and you’ll overhear tales from service, catch familiar faces from across the city, and feel like you’ve been let into a little industry secret.

The Experience

That’s the real charm of 10 Tib. It’s not just about eating well (though you will) or drinking well (you definitely will). It’s about being part of something. Manchester’s hospitality scene is alive, and this restaurant has quickly become its clubhouse.

You could come for the monkfish, stay for the tartare, and leave with a cocktail in hand and three new friends. Or you could just sit back, soak in the atmosphere, and feel smug you got in before the crowds catch on.

10 Tib is Manchester through and through: bold, welcoming, a little rough round the edges, but with real heart. And like all the best restaurants, it leaves you already planning your next visit before you’ve even left.
