Juicebox

Nice place for a quiet drink with a great selection of craft beers and wines. They also had a really good range of wines and spirits for sale.A cosy place to sit and watch the village go by!

Advance warning: there is lovely upstairs seating - don’t be put off if downstairs looks small/full on your way past, like I did for a few weeksLovely setup, good music, good drinks, friendly staffReally enjoyed this place as a place to meet up with a small crowd, with plenty of something for most tastes (wine, fridge beer, cocktails, all top notch); but also as a quiet spot to unwind inWine by the glass is often mostly/all on the funky side of things - think field blends, natural wines, wild yeast, or alternative production methods. Menu changes frequently so this might be old news by the time you get there. Friendly knowledgable staff to explain anything that you’ve not come across before or to make recommendationsIf funky wine is not your bag then there are more traditional wines by the bottle (wide ranging selection to browse)Negronis for a fiver, and the foccacia/pesto is the best £4 I’ve spent in a long timeEdit: taking a star off as they always seem to have incense burning. Not great as most of the enjoyment of wine for me is in the nose, and this just barges in with really intense soapy smoke aromas, crowding out anything the wine is giving. Range of wine/spirits still excellent, and a nice place to go, just a shame about the incense

Lovely drinks and food was very tasty but very expensive. Paid £11.50 for a cheese board which only featured 3 average size pieces of cheese

Love this place, food is delicious and reasonably priced. Coffee is amazing from expert barista Charley! Drinks selection (craft beers and natural wine) tremendous. Quiet enough to sit and chill but a lively atmosphere. A real gem of Deansgate

As other reviews have mentioned, one of the great things about Juice Box is the staff, who are really helpful and know their stuff when it comes to wine! If you're after a certain taste or type of wine, they will give you great recommendations. As for the wines themselves...The selection of wines changes quite frequently, and comes from all over the world, including areas you might not have tried wine from before! They're natural wines (so often have a slight fizz to them), and there's usually a full range of whites, reds, organges and pink/rose wines, and fizz. When me and my partner visit, we tend to get a couple of carafes - it's usally around £15 or so for a carafe, I've uploaded a photo of one page of the menu to this review to give an idea of prices.The food and snacks are also very tasty! They do cheese boards, charcutterie, gilda... and also very posh crisps with caviar (pictured). Well, it is Didsbury after all...If you're after wines you may not have tried before, in a relaxed setting with super staff, and maybe some snacks, Juice Box is a great choice.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The waitress offered us samples of the wine and the barman gave us samples of cocktails he was making.They've got a good selection of wines, craft beers and good quality produce like pasta, anchovies, chocolate etc.

Henry and Jen were both super helpful with picking a selection of wines that were super tasty. Will definitely be back and definitely recommend

Lovely bar with friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere, tasty snacks, and a great wine selection!
