Ha Ha Bar & Grill – Spinningfields

I went to Ha Ha Bar and Grill for a Christmas party last year and was seriously disappointed with both the service and the food (or lack of it) on offer. Whilst there were some good drinks offers on (such as the £3 cocktails before 7pm), once these finished, I found the choice of wine to be limited and expensive.
The food at the party was nowhere near enough for the amount of people in attendance meaning it ran out in record time. Of course, this could have all been a ploy to get people to drink more or spend their own money on nibbles — who knows?
The lack of atmosphere felt within the bar can’t just be put down to the bar alone — it really doesn’t help it any that it’s situated in a far corner of Spinningfields, an area of Manchester which can be deemed to be cold and unatmospheric at the best of times. However, to me, Ha Ha Bar and Grill just felt like yet another chain bar — and not a very good one at that. Avoid.

Ha Ha’s is located in Spinningfields, a new area of Manchester that has a bit of an empty banking zone feel to it. This bar does quite well at being full, particularly on a Friday after work with people taking advantage of their £3 cocktails before 7pm offer.
When it comes to eating, we visited on a Wednesday night and used the buy one get one free offer on ‘favourite main courses’ they were promoting. Although tasty, the food was more suited to lunch as the portions were small, and certainly wouldn’t impress me to return.
