Terrace NQ, Rooftop bar in Northern Quarter, Manchester, United Kingdom.
Terrace NQ is a rooftop bar in Manchester featuring three leafy outdoor terraces with exposed brick walls and vintage seating. The space offers drinks and pizza in an understated setting lit by string lights.
The bar emerged when the Northern Quarter was shifting from an industrial area into a creative neighborhood of independent businesses. It represents this broader change in the district's character and purpose.
The venue reflects Manchester's pub tradition by serving locally brewed ales and craft beers from regional producers. Regular live music nights and themed events draw people from across the city who gather here to spend time together.
The space opens during midday on most days and operates into the early morning hours. Note that wheelchair access is not available, so plan your visit accordingly if mobility is a consideration.
The three separate terraces each offer different views of the surrounding area and suit different moods or weather conditions. This layout means visitors often discover something new about the space on each return visit.
