Manchester – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants – Tapas
My friend introduced me to Lammars in 2009, and since then I’ve been there many times. It is no wonder the place is trendy: the interior dazzles you with its uncanny fusion of different styles and pieces of decor. You will be sitting there, overlooking the bar with unusual if not kitschy candelabra, and from the ceiling the figures from reproductions by the Italian Masters will be looking down upon you. As we would all agree, there is something about sipping on your cocktail or chatting over a pint, while Jesus is watching you – quite literally so.
The whole space is divided into small areas, every one of them in a different style. My favourite comes next after the one that faces the bar. It has rounded seats, mirrors, and a white piano that always brings Elton John to my mind.
They play live music at Lammars and have comedy nights, so the interior ends up being a great backdrop for either form of entertainment. I’ve only ever been there for a friendly drink, but I was never disappointed. Even on a quite night it is a great place to be at, but when it’s busy and buzzing I like it even more. This is when its syncretic design is enlivened by the merry crowd, and Lammars emerges at its most opulent.
