To Be Frank

To Be Frank is a bar at 10 Hilton Street, Manchester M1 1JF. The venue offers a straightforward bar setting with dine-in service, outdoor seating and a drinks list covering beer, wine and cocktails. It also hosts live music, giving the venue a performance element alongside its drinks service.

The range of drinks makes To Be Frank suitable for different preferences within a group. Beer provides a familiar bar option, while wine and cocktails offer alternatives for guests looking for something different. The venue is also listed as good for groups, making it suited to shared visits and social occasions where several people can enjoy the same setting.

Dine-in service gives the bar an option for guests who want to stay on site rather than simply stop by for a drink. Outdoor seating adds another choice of setting, subject to availability and conditions on the day. Together, the indoor and outdoor options give To Be Frank a flexible format for spending time with friends or meeting as part of a larger group.

Live music is a defining part of the venue’s offer. The programming details, including performance times and styles, can vary, so those details are best confirmed directly with the bar before making plans. The music sits alongside the drinks selection rather than replacing the venue’s core identity as a bar.

To Be Frank has a moderate price level, placing it within a mid-range choice for a bar visit. Its combination of beer, wine, cocktails, dine-in service, outdoor seating and live music gives the venue a broad bar-focused offer without relying on a single type of drink or activity. Its Hilton Street location makes it a practical option for groups looking for a bar in Manchester with both drinks and live entertainment.
