Rooftop The Ivy on the Roof in Manchester

The Ivy on the Roof: a garden under glass in Spinningfields

On the top floor of the Pavilion

On Byrom Street, in the heart of the Spinningfields business district, the Pavilion houses several venues of The Ivy brand: a brasserie on the ground floor and, right at the top, The Ivy on the Roof, formerly the Roof Garden at The Ivy Spinningfields. Under a glass roof, the decor plays on the winter-garden theme: palm trees, climbing plants, crystal chandeliers, rattan armchairs and a large central bar dressed in greenery. Around it, the office towers of the district shape the skyline, and the room stays pleasant whatever the weather.

British cuisine and cocktails

The menu features the house's great British classics, served all day, alongside seasonal menus and a set-price menu on weekdays until late afternoon. Signature cocktails cost £12.45 to £14.95: mango and honey bellini, pandan colada, jalapeño-spiked margarita or crème brûlée martini; wines by the glass start at under £10. Two private dining rooms host business meals and parties.
